    The only negative we have is that we were not told about the gate locking at 10pm & the key for it, so when we arrived back late one night from a restaurant we had to whatsapp them for the code as we didn't know there was a key to take. I think they just forgot to mention this. Be warned that taxis here are crazy expensive so if you plan on going to the beach hotels/restaurants at night then you will be paying about £25-40 (it varies drastically!) each way! so if you're looking to be near the beach then this hotel is not for you. It is in downtown Tulum which is cool & has great cafes/bars/restaurants & the bike hire makes visiting the beach during the day easy & cheap however I would not recommend using them at night as they have no lights.

    We stayed at Aroma for 3 days as part of our honeymoon. It is a lovely, quiet, cheap hotel & the staff are super friendly although they don't speak much English so communication is difficult unless you speak Spanish. The food is great, including the free breakfast & the drinks are good & cheap! The rooms ARE dark, but it is part of the vibe! It is an excellent hotel for the price. You can hire bikes to go to the beach - takes about 15-20 minutes. The bikes aren't the best quality but they work just fine.

The staff are super friendly & I bought a bottle of tequila for my 30th birthday & they all had shots with me. The taxi/transfer company that the hotel arranged for us from the airport was super great & communication was fab - we are using them again to travel to our next destination. All in all would recommend for a chill downtown Tulum cheap & instagram-able experience!

    The shower is great. However, there is no hand shower head which is very convenient when coming back from the beach. There is only one setting - warm water. It's not hot, not cold, just good. But you cannot change the temperature. Whether or not the bycle rent was included in the price of the room was a bit vague. They mention you should add the service to the booking. According to booking it's included (?). They accepted my argument and I didn't had to pay for the bicycles, which is a sign of good service

    Spacious room, very clean and comfortable. Friendly and helpful staff.

    Although it's very convenient that they offer bikes for usage / rental, these are too small for adult people making it very uncomfortable to use. Although the shower is spacious, it does not have a handheld shower head to direct the water more specific which is handy after coming back from the beach. They do not offer a hair dryer. Mine (from Europe) didn't work properly on 110V.

    The room is very spacious and clean. Has enough room to store or hang your clothes and other belongings. the a/c works great as well. Nice bed. They also offer a high quality bleutooth Bose sound speaker in the room which was nice to have! WiFi quality is good on each floor of the building. The staff is also very friendly and helpful.

    We had trouble getting hot water for showers, but we didn't tell the staff until the last day. So they didn't really have time to fix the issue.

    We really enjoyed our stay at Aroma. It was really clean, the beds were very very comfortable and the staff was great! Location was good too. Not on the main street but close. Loved our stay there!

    Too much black, which darkens the place and covers dampness in the rooms. the breakfast was too basic and really not worth while, until we asked for Mexican breakfast and then it was great!! Our room was on the ground floor and were woken up both mornings before 7am by staff making noise & shouting.

    Spacious rooms, clean, comfortable beds. friendly staff, nice rooftop terrace, swimming pool. Great to be able to take a bike & discover some cenotes.

    But there’s some important things to mention: we’ve picked this hotel because they had free bikes for guests, when we were there all the bikes were in repair so we couldn’t use. When asked, the girl from front desk said we could rent $ in another place. So the money we originally saved picking this one, was for nothing. Another thing was about the water. 2 nights we didn’t have water in our bathroom at night, we had to brush our teeth with mineral water. Plus the water was kinda salty. Breakfast was also less than we expected, could have more food.

    The hotel vibe is good, beautiful, night security staff was friendly and helpful with our bags.

    Now to the negative. - the “double” bed is EXTREMELY small. We were two girls sleeping in the bed and had no space. - on our first two nights there were constructions going on at 7am in the morning… - you can hear EVERYTHING from the neighbors room. thankfully our neighbors were not noisy after 9pm. - When you wake up and have breakfast at 8am, the staff puts super loud music on. This is not the type of relaxation people look for in Tulum. The music is super loud and too stressful for breakfast. - The room we got had absolutely no view. It was quite bad. There was a vis a vis with another building and the roof of a house. - This is a detail but the shower is a rain shower built at 2.5m. Meaning that if you want to shower without wetting your hair it’ll be impossible. - The breakfast is VERY SMALL. I’m not a huge eater but even so, you have to CHOOSE between eggs and fruits… I have been to actual hostels with much better breakfast. For 90€ a night I expected better! And the worst was that on Tuesday there was basically no breakfast. We came down at 8.30am and we’re told that today they only had fruits. No bread, no eggs, nothing. This is really outrageous. - Lastly, on booking.com the check out was at 15.00 which is why we chose that hotel. However, on the day of our departure we were told that it was at 12.00… this is not okay. They should not advertise later check out times if this is not the reality of it.

    Overall the hotel is not bad but not good either. I’ll start with the positive. The receptionist called Jesus is extremely kind and helpful. He went out of his way to accommodate us. He printed forms for us, helped us rent bikes, booked taxi etc. He truly was fantastic! the night guard was also very kind and funny. Similarly, the hotel itself is quite cute and small and it is well located (in a calm street close to Main Street). Also, the room was spacious.

    Terrible administration! Maybe it’s just a cover up

    Didn’t stay here because they said they didn’t get my reservation while I had one. Not only me but also other clients in front of the door experienced the same thing. It was a waist of my time and cab money to go there.

    Aroma Hotel was a rather pleasant experience, the staff were nice, the included breakfast was decent, room was roomy, and the beds were comfortable. Black walls were weird, but we could look past that. Why the significant knock in star rating? In their personalized introduction letter (a very nice touch), they insisted if we have any troubles at all to email them first. I went on their aromatulum.com website and showed the staff that the bike rentals were included for guests, they insisted that their policy was inconsistent with their policies were different than their website. I emailed the email provided on our intro letter and quoted their website, their response is that they would not honor what is stated on their website and suggested that I perhaps was looking at the wrong website (I was not). They ignored all of my follow up emails. For this reason, I am giving a vengeful 3 star rating.
