10/10 Exceptional

The entire experience at Ahau was amazing. The resort fully embodies the Tulum vibe. We splurged and enjoyed a 2nd floor King Suite with a beautiful beachfront view. The concierge team was immensely helpful in planning and booking excursions. The beach was fantastic aside from the seasonal sargassum. The restaurant food and service were great. Our waiter, Sergio, took great care of us and always greeted us with a warm welcome & smile. Lastly, the added bonus of free access to The Face of Tulum and Jungle Gym helped set this resort apart from all the others we saw while in Tulum. We highly recommend Ahau for couples or families seeking the full Tulum experience!

I felt like I was in nature the entire time. What a beautiful property in a natural setting, complete with sand walkways around the rooms. I felt so at peace here. The ocean was the constancy presence in my six day stay. I’m looking forward to returning soon.

Amazing hotel and great service. The room was very tidy and the outdoor shower added a little extra touch, by combining the nature to the room. Would definitely recommend this place.

This property is beautiful and clean. Staff is welcoming, attentive and pleasant. The beach is stunning and the vibe is calm and zen. The room does not have a mini fridge which was very surprising to learn upon arrival to our room considering we are in a hot climate. The room also does not have a hair dryer or a coffee maker. In my opinion those should be included especially for the price of the room. The food was good however like everywhere in Tulum, extremely expensive, example you will pay around 30$CAN for a Margarita. There is a taco spot just accross the street which was good and comparable to North American pricing. The Starbucks is also right next to the hotel but the prices are absolutely ridiculous. All in all, I do not think the whole experience was worth the money spent. Because of these reasons despite the hotel itself being beautiful, I would not return.

Amazing Stay

It was amazing, beautiful room and right on the beach. The only issue was that the shower did not have hot water, and we had no idea it would be outside, which I guess I didn't mind as much as the fact that it was cold water. Other than that, loved my stay and the staff was very welcoming and friendly.

Our stay at Ahau was absolute perfection. Every member of the staff from the check in desk to the beach waitstaff and housekeeping were incredible. We toured several other hotels and none had the combination of rooms, central location and beach access including a pool that Ahau did. I recommend staying on a top floor if you are in a bungalow to enjoy the thatched roof ceiling. The passion fruit margarita is the best in Tulum and the best restaurants are a short walk away. We will def be back. ❤️

6/10 Good

It’s a nice property but we never got room key message till after 430pm. Hotel is nice. Bed is comfortable. I would have given it 5/5 but if you want to sleep forget it, loud boom boom music till 3am. Even with plugs in you can hear it. Nearly checked out at 2am as I was going crazy. Did report it. Butt same thing next night. It’s a good Instagram place but shocking if you want sleep.

6/10 Good

This property is beautiful, the views are breathtaking. We went for our honeymoon. We had our first night there though in a room where the AC stopped working. Along with it being too hot to fall asleep and the loud club music till 1:30am, This made for a terrible day to follow. The staff and manager were kind and accommodating when we had issues and did refund part of our stay and apologized. But our time was short there and we wished we had chose another place in Tulum. This is not a place for people who aren’t wanting to party all night or light sleepers.
