I had a wonderful stay at this hotel in Tulum. It's a peaceful retreat with a clean beach and cozy atmosphere, perfect for solo travelers like me. The staff were super friendly, and the massages were great. However, it's important to note that some additional cash payments were unexpected, and parking did pose some challenges. Overall, a charming spot that I would recommend for its fantastic value and serene vibes.
