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.

Hotel was not only filthy ( i lost a flip flop and looked under the bed and there was trash and dirt) but broken down. Our toilet didnt work for 3 days, forcing us to check out early and they refused to refund us. No staff at pool bars and breafast hours were changed or cancelled without notice. Absolutely horrible experience

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
DO NOT BOOK A STAY AT THIS PROPERTY! The girls managing the front desk are rude, they did not want to help or accommodate with my complaints. The hotel facilities and rooms are falling apart. The rooms are dirty, stains on beds and furnitures. They even stole a watch from me, they did not want to give it back unless I was able to provide a photo even though I described every single detail about the watch. I had my whole wedding party stay here and they all had horrible experiences. I can’t wait til all of my 40 guests write a review about their stay as well.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The staff at The Waves Tulum were incredibly kind and accommodating, which was the highlight of our stay. However, the property itself was extremely disappointing. The private pools were unusable due to mold and poor maintenance, the dishes in the cabinets were dirty, and even the towels provided were unclean. While the bed and sleeping areas were presentable, the overall lack of upkeep made the experience far from enjoyable. This property desperately needs better management and maintenance to match the hospitality of the staff.

Liked: Amenities
The good thing is that the room does look exactly as pictured. There are a few convience stores and tiny restaurants within daytime walking distance. However the hotel has no restaurant, the swim up bar as advertised is there- you just have to bring your own drinks. If you’re traveling solo this isn’t for you. The only entry way to the hotel was full of huge mud puddles. We rented an atv to get around and they forced us to park in garage- more mud puddles to access, when there was bike parking in front of hotel.

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.

Friendly staff. No hand or face towels at all just two bath towels. Breakfast is brought to you and it’s okay. No pool bar no restaurant. Pools are not clean only the rooftop pool is clean due to no trees hanging over it. Close to authentic Tulum and strip.
