Price and staff were the only good thing about this hotel
Long list:
- the room smelt so bad like sewage. I believe coming from the drain. Turning on the a/c helped but didnt fully take away the smell
- shower and tap water was salty
- ZERO sound proofing at all. I can hear the neighbours conversation as if they were in our room. This might be due to the fact that the ceiling is kind of corrugated creating gaps where the ceiling and the wall meets
- to add to the no sound proof, the neighbouring store blasting music all day until about 10pm. Thankfully it was good music atleast lol
- we went to the beach area of the hotel and were told that even as guest had a minimum spend to use their beanbags/beds. This is just ridiculous, guests shouldnt have to pay for that. Other hotels do not charge their guests to use the sunbeds
- there was a pool as well but no beds or chairs around
- power from the city went out at 11am. I wasnt feeling well so i was just staying in trying to sleep but couldnt cause the room got way too hot by 12pm. We were told that if the power doesnt come back on soon they will turn on their backup generator. The power did not come back on until about 7:30pm. Either city power or generator. But thats over 8hrs of no power. The hotel should have turned the generator on within 2-3hrs of no power.
I rarely write bad reviews except when it is REAALLLY bad. And this was bad. Having to smell the sewage gas snell for 7 days... our nose did not adjust to it lol.

The massage was good
The shower was cold, there was music blasting next door till 1 am every night, the wait staff at the restaurant were extremely rude and aggressive, they gave me different prices for everything

Location, Beach, Food and Staff- amazing! Great water pressure and super clean and comfortable beds!
Construction next door will take (from the looks of it) at least another year. Starts early because of the heat! The rooms could be amazing with just a few tweaks- not sure the owner cares enough. They used old shipping containers and I love it- but there are larger caps (5-12”) walls and ceiling. Either hang mosquito net over the beds or provide coils to prevent them from getting in. There should be a light over the sink! If you someone who shaves or applies make up- you need your phone flashlight! Our toilet and shower were separate (I like that) but the toilet itself has a curtain to the room and the ceiling is open to the room. It was ok for us but be aware if that’s not enough privacy. The sink cabinet is about 12-16” from the curtain to the shower and not attached to the wall, it’s a bit tricky to scoot by sideways and not bump the cabinet- if you do, things on it will fall. There is one hook in the whole room… it was tough to dry bathing suit and shower towels.. there is no place to set or hang your toiletries. The outlet on my side of the bed was just a cover but no outlet behind it…

Most staff were lovely. Great value for money if there was no construction noise going on
I arrived at this property on Saturday and there was loud construction noises from the property next door. The hotel told me there would not be construction on Sunday so I prepaid for 3 nights and stayed. However I was woken early Sunday morning by construction noises that lasted until I left. Additionally the manager didn't believe me and I had to walk with her to the site to prove it was coming from the site next door. I wanted to move hotels but she wouldn't give me a refund on the remaining nights as "I was given options" before I checked in (the option she gave me was to get a free cancellation and move - or stay, with a promise that there would be no construction the next day). I was given a false promise of a peaceful morning on Sunday and when I wanted to leave because this was untrue the manager not only disbelieved me - she kept interrupting me and speaking over me. Additionally I had to pay a taxi to move hotels and to pay extra for a new hotel on short notice.
Additionally although it promises yoga without additional charge, yoga is charged

Location, strong WiFi and nice beach.
The staff was very friendly, except for the service at the beach club. We had to get up to ask for things and even to pay, and they added a 15% tip without asking.
The jungle rooms are located on the other side of the road, near the parking area. The hot water only worked the first night, and the place was very noisy (we could hear every sound from outside).

Not very clean, Poseidon room is very noisy since it’s next to the road so you will listen to trucks early in the morning.

Great location with plenty of food options, bars, shops and taxis. Direct access to the beach, quiet and relaxing spot that I highly recommend to travelers who want to stay away from big crowds and look for a more simplistic place. Staff was very respectful of our space and present when we needed them.
Shower was not hot enough, not much space to store personal belongings although we had a junior suite. We wished breakfast started earlier (we couldn’t really get anything before 10am) and service tends to be slow.

Disappointing
The hotel has some amazing beach front cabanas that you can relax in.
Bar and Restaurant opens at 09:30. Who serves breakfast at 09:30? And the bar closes at 5:30 in the evening. The water in the bathroom is very salty which makes having a shower a horrible experience. Brushing your teeth with salt water was also bad. There are no amenities in the room for any tea or coffee. No kettle as well. The food from the bar and restuarnt was mediocre at best.

Alquimia had very lovely staff, and lovely beach club where you can sit and enjoy drinks and food while looking out to the ocean. Rooms were cute and looked lovely. However, the beds were definitely not king size. Or even queen. And the shower had VERY low pressure, which worsened in the evening. This definitely impacted the comfort of our stay. But we wil say the AC worked the entire time and THAT was amazing. Because Tulum is humid!
We also felt that the price we paid for what we got did not reflect well. But having been to Tulum now, we realise EVERYTHING is expensive in the hotel zone. It’s just the price you pay to be near the ocean I guess.
This said, overall we enjoyed our stay here. The staff looked after us with cheap parking across the road for our e-scooter/bike and helped us book reliable taxis as needed.

The location of the property was excellent.
I have found the staff poor except the manager lady. She was very well and helpful.
The hotel was under renovation and at the reservation they had to know us about it. After flying 13 hrs flight nobody wants to stay in a place with ongoing construction.
The service at the beach and facilities were poor compared to the other facilities in the same row.
Rooms are missing bedside tables, kettle, coffee machine, bathroom needs renovation as well. Price quality didnt find fair staying.

Great location right on the beach, think this was the cheapest hotel in the area with direct beach access. Only about 10 mins walk to lovely restaurants for the evening. Other beach bars for the day are on your doorstep however we tended to stay at the hotel beach as the sun loungers are huge and comfy (comfier than the beds) and they had a good playlist on. The beach bar next door has 2 for 1 aperol spritz though which was nice to pop over for
Our initial room in a shipping container was very noisy. Every 5 minutes there was a loud crashing sound and when we complained they said this was normal?!?! Thankfully they moved us as it definitely isn't normal to have to sleep with that. In the new room they were less stingy with the pillows and we had 2 each, but only 1 each in a shipping container. The bed has a plastic topping on which made it feel cheap and not that comfortable.
Nothing opened until 9am and even then it was opening late so you can't get a beach towel or any coffee or breakfast from the hotel until after 9am. Not ideal when you just arrive and wake up at 6am due to the jet lag. However 5 mins walk along the beach there is another hotel called Lulu which opens at 7.30 and the breakfast is really nice.
Everything is extortionate prices at this hotel and in Tulum Playa in general,, higher than in London. Beware you will spend a fortune. It's worth it as the scenery is incredible, but save to spend around £300 per day on food and drinks as a couple on top of the hotel. Or just drink beer.
There is a bit of construction going on at the hotel - the yoga deck is not ready and a bit of an eyesore.

The maintenance staff violated my privacy by watching me shower. The cleaning staff stole over $5,000 worth of valuables, despite my generous tip. The restaurant staff was unprofessional, ignoring us and moving my belongings while I left to use the restroom. Security is nonexistent, with broken locks and fake cameras offering no protection. Despite filing a police report, no action was taken, and staff faced no consequences. Locals have reported similar thefts with no effective police response. While the decor is nice and the manager's golden retriever is a nice touch, this hotel fails to prioritize guest safety and respect. I strongly advise against staying here.
