Part of the hotel it seems that they don’t work on it so it looks like is going down, like the area of the pool, the cenote that it’s inside the hotel. Room had a lot of humidity and it smell bad the first day we got there, and by the 3rd day the smell got worst. In the other hand rooms are confortable, the jacuzzi on our balcony was good, the ambient was nice, workers were very friendly and helpful.

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

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.

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.

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.
