Stay somewhere else

I was here for one night and two days- the hot tub was broken, the shower luke-warm, my breakfast cold (chicken enchiladas- when reheated they dried out the chicken), one dirty towel with brown spots on it, tv didn’t work and the door to the balcony was so so hard to open. Lastly, the reef out front is VERY rocky- not great snorkeling (and I’m a diver). And when I went to lay out by the beach the cushions need an upgrade, they were dirty and falling apart. I will say I loved waking up to the ocean and kayaking, the glass water bottles in the room and the front desk lady was helpful- there were a couple times I went to the front desk and no one was there. Overall I wouldn’t return. And the cherry on top- at breakfast the waiter asked me “why did you come alone?” How rude- I had a work trip prior and was taking a day to unwind post. Also, this hotel is down a bumpy dirt road and my taxi passed the sign- doesn’t stand out. Just really below expectations all the way around and not the cleanest. Lastly, the pool is not really a pool, more like a splash pool and it’s small.

We just spent a week at this amazing boutique hotel and absolutely loved it! The best service in the world (especially Steven and Miguel). If quiet surroundings, solitude from not being around many people, nourishing food and the most gorgeous ocean blue are your vibes this is your place. We enjoyed the gym. Breakfast was made to order from their menu (the avocado/greek yogurt bowl with fresh roasted pumpkin seeds, chia seeds and fresh fruit was our favorite). The food was so delicious we ended up eating every meal there, and highly recommend the fish tacos, chicken mole, and mezcal sampler. The staff was super helpful in arranging our excursions, which included a pickup on the beach to go snorkeling, see the ruins and swim with the sea turtles and manna rays. The beach has a lot of rocks, so definitely bring water shoes (but they have some to borrow if you need it). We also enjoyed sea kayaking, in the shallow reef area, the beautiful sea breeze, ocean view room and mellow atmosphere. If I go again, I would pick up a few bottles of water at the airport and bring to the hotel.

Hotel is fine. Good food and clean, well organized rooms. the problem is the location unless you want to scuba dive. The road to the hotel is rutted, potholed and difficult to navigate. It is muddy to walk, and a long way from anything other than the sister hotels. The beach. is rocky and similarly hard to navigate.

Very comfortable hotel with nice small restaurant on site. Two other hotels in the same ownership group are nearby so that you can walk to them and share the facilities. The pool here is small and the beach access small but you can walk down to a sister hotel And enjoy a change of pace there. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Very relaxed, low-key atmosphere far from the craziness of Cancun. Wonderful balcony and birds and stars at night.

I couldn’t enjoy the pool because of the dirtiness even the beatch is unkept. And it is expensive, the pictures do not reflect the reality at all. This is the first bad review I ever had to write !

Hotel Alea Tulum is open air with a designer pool area and outdoor seating for meals next to the beach. The beach is more rocky than sandy with sargasso grass drifts on the seashore. Across the dirt road is a wonderful denote. The staff is excellent! The food options are flavorful. There’s isn’t any nightlife within walking distance. Bars are in resort villas/residences/hotels. It’s quiet.

Avoid This place like the plague ! We booked last minute on Expedia so we had to pre-pay. What a mistake! I can’t believe people rate this crappy place this highly. For starters, you drive 1 mile down a dirt road that is badly damaged. I thought it was going to damage the rental car. We asked for our money back immediately after arriving and touring the property, but they would not give us our money back. The view was decent and the room was decent, but everything else was terrible. The safe was broken. The hot tub was broken. The pool was freezing and dirty. We booked a swim up room on purpose because we love to get in and out of the water but that didn’t happen. The beach was also gross with algae and seaweed. There was also a rock shelf that went out for about 100 yards that made it dangerous to walk out. Other properties in the area had built a dock where you could swim out past the rocks.. This property did not. Most of the outside dining chairs were also broken. There aren’t any sidewalks or street lights either. The electricity went out on the fourth day, alll day, of our six day stay and so we left on the fifth and they even refused to give us one day credit. The only redeeming factor was the food was very good and so was the service— only of the weight staff. The front desk personnel and management were terrible. Also a margarita was $17 as they have you captive.
