Disappointing stay
We stayed at The Waves recently and unfortunately had a mixed experience. While the hotel is relatively new (3 years old), it already shows signs of needing significant maintenance. Several issues detracted from our stay: missing amenities in the room (chairs, pool towels, bathmat, hand towels); a lack of cleanliness in the bathroom (dirty sink and faucet); and malfunctioning elevators. The pool area also showed signs of neglect, with broken sun loungers and a hanging, broken light fixture over the pool/balcony of our room. The hotel's location is quite far from the city center, making it inconvenient to walk, and the access road is difficult to navigate by car. Furthermore, services were limited during the off-season. Overall, while the hotel has potential, significant improvements are needed in cleanliness, maintenance, and amenities to justify the price.

La estancia fue buena, creo que es importante mencionar que la calle para ingresar con auto la calle no está pavimentada y tiene importantes inundaciones, el estacionamiento no tiene vigilancia y está lleno de excremento de perro, la habitación está muy bien y cuenta con buen internet

Do not book with this place any positive reviews were wrong it was dangerous and super dirty and they did not refund the money for a stay that was booked for 4 days after the first night I had a just very spooky feeling about the place it had potential to be a great spot but the rooms and pools were super dirty broken elevator since April and I just had a feeling of uneasiness it’s hard to explain I did not feel safe what so ever my gf felt the same do not stay here!

4/10 Fair

NEVER AGAIN
Dirty sheets, dirty floors, dirty jacuzzi, etc. The staff was young and oblivious to what the patrons/rooms needs were. We had to ask for clean sheets, toilet paper, and room service, and they seemed bothered when asked. FYI, this hotel is built in the middle of the Tulum slums displacing the already struggling population. 0/10 stars would NOT Recommend!

10/10 Exceptional

The room was perfect and super clean. The amenities are lacking though and during my stay we meet a few people that thought the same. There is a pool bar just no staff working it and at the time we were there at least 15 people were at the pool. They are missing revenue by not proving this service they have promoted. The cenote is not to swim in just to see it but the light was not functioning the day went. We walked to the restaurant to order food and drinks to take to the pool area waited 10 minutes and an employee called the chef he never showed up. So overall they need to work on the amenities other than that the room was amazing.

Very cute property that’s out the way but also has things right within reach. The staff were so nice and accommodating. I LOVED my room. It also very quiet and relaxing for the most part. I traveled solo and still very safe

DID NOT STAY! Upon reading the other reviews my boyfriend and I decided to cancel our stay at the resort as there seemed to be way more negative reviews than positive. I can not review the property as we never stayed there. However, we did qualify for a refund Expedia tried numerous times to get ahold of the resort and could not. Staff would not return their or our calls/emails, eventually, Expedia just closed the case and we didn't get any sort of refund we qualified for. Just pick somewhere else and don't even try.
