Perfect location
Beautiful villas right on the beach. Perfect location with several restaurants/bars nearby. Great staff/service. Great breakfast and beach bar service. Very thankful to the staff for helping us find an emergency doctor and dentist after a fall. The floors are very slick so be careful if wet. Love Alaya. Love Tulum.

Absolutely incredible staff. 12/10 customer service. I’ve stayed in Tulum multiple times and this has by far been the best as far as service goes.

I loved my stay at Alaya Tulum! The xuatomwr service was great. Stefan was so helpful. The staff came out to sing for my birthday and greeted me with chocolate cake! I felt so welcomed and safe. I also loved the food and got great service from Ismael and Gabriela!

The staff was beyond exceptional! Not only was the room excellent but they were quick with any minor fixes we needed. They also helped surprise me for my birthday. Cannot say enough great things about them! The beach was also well maintained and the food/drinks were great.

We had an amazing 2 day stay at Alaya. Front desk staff were so helpful. Daily yoga at 9am was an excellent offering that even my 5 year old son was welcomed. Parking was super convenient and the location of Alaya in my opinion was fantastic. Perfectly walkable to surrounding restaurants and the overall property had an amazing atmosphere. Celebrated our 9 year wedding anniversary which Alaya staff made even more special. I cannot say more other than I highly recommend.

I didn’t like that we were not able to ungrade our room when the facility was super empty. There wasn’t many people there when we stayed and apparently they didn’t have availability for room upgrade. We got a room that was located right above the reception area. There was also a lot sea weed at the shore.

This hotel might be alright for some, but be aware of a few drawbacks. First, the advertised photos don't accurately reflect the condition of the hotel. Second, if you value peace and quiet, this might not be the best choice. There's limited noise insulation, and we were unfortunately disturbed every night by loud guests upstairs. Despite repeated complaints to the management, the issue wasn't addressed, significantly impacting our sleep quality. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this hotel to travelers seeking a relaxing and quiet stay.

6/10 Good

We were a group of girls staying, felt like the people at reception were slightly intrusive. They kept an eye on our every move, which was a bit weird and made comments on what we had done in our room. The resort overall was nice and the beach was lovely, although there were heaps of seaweed they were not getting rid of.

I loved the vibe of this hotel, calm and relaxing which is opposite of the party vibe in tulum. The staff is incredibly helpful and kind. I did a yoga class that was fantastic with a wide open and breeze room. The chef was kind enough to prepare a simple meal for my husband who had a stomach bug. Gaby went out of her way to bring my breakfast out to the beach :) Tulum has really changed from our last trip 7 years ago and it feels super busy but this hotel makes you feel very relaxed! loved it
