Wonderful stay at The Waves Tulum. The beds are very comfortable, the air-conditioning was cold and the WiFi was strong. I would definitely stay here again during my next vacation to Tulum.

The road to get to the hotel is a dirt road and would break your cars muffler if you are not careful.
The pool was green and dirty, this included all the of 3 of the pools.
They did not have a bartender at the pool and the location could not be any worse as it’s in the middle of a slum.
It’s such a bad hotel we left after two nights , and our stay was for 4 nights. I had to go Cancun.
The lady at the register was the most unhelpful person, we asked for her to provide Expedia phone number and she could not help with anything:

Excellent price. Friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful property. Pet friendly. The only disappointment was the long distance from the beach and tourist area. You need a car or taxi

Rooms are super cute! Was a little disappointed by the size of the outside “jacuzzi” that didn’t even get hot. The room service was alright but the vibes of the overall hotel were good.

Terrible Service and Breakfast
Terrible breakfast. It says 'Continental Breakfast' but the service is poor. Limited options which is delivered at your room (fruit run out on the second day). The housekeeping service is poor and they did not change/renew used towels.

Amenities were nice but not very clean (cigarettes in the pool) and service was not great (first a room without AC, then a room with AC but no remote to control it, in addition it says breakfast included but the restaurant was closed and it was only available on command)

The Waves is a beautiful resort - clean with great amenities and wonderful staff. We especially enjoyed the pool and the spa area... I had one of the best massages of my life! Regarding our room, it was clean and well kept, and we really enjoyed the tub on our balcony. The shower was great too. Our biggest issue was with with the toilet seat that wouldn't stay on. Also more towels would've been appreciated. Wifi throughout the facility was quite spotty for us. Overall, a great stay - 4/5!

Overall, the property and the units are nice. Particularly for the price. The staff take very good care of the property and are friendly. The negatives are that you essentially have to go to the lobby to get any kind of assistance, the toilets clogged very easily, and the property does not provide wash cloths.
