    In order to get to the beach, it is necessary to overcome the obstacle of the 1st line of private hotels. yes

    This is a small but very cozy hotel. Excellent location-very beautiful view from the window.The staff is very pleasant and friendly.

    In the reviews it states that breakfast was offered at the hotel, not true. The hotel is outside, so keep that in mind. The water pressure was not the best either. By the end of our stay, our sheets felt kind of wet because of the hours of the air being cut off, which i understand.

    LOCATION!!!!! The location was just perfect, just as stated in the description. Next door to a yummy restaurant (Casa Banana), across the street from day clubs and ice cream and short walks to all restaurants and night clubs as well. We asked the front desk via Whatsapp if he could help set us up a few rides, he was very fast to respond and was very helpful! Very simple. If you are looking for a good location, but very simple stay, this is your place.

    Music was very loud at night especially as the room isn't fully 'sealed' at the ceiling to wall. The quietest night was Sunday, otherwise you'll have extremely loud music till midnight minimum. Would be great if there were some bedside lights or an alternative to the main room light. Would be great if aircon came on a bit earlier than 9pm.

    The staff were amazing, so friendly and helpful. Always quick to fix anything we mentioned. The room was very big with all the basics and amazing balcony with table and chairs. The room was, cleaned well every day with fresh towels. Shampoo, conditioner and body wash provided. Property felt very safe, staff always at reception and behind a closed gate.

    A little pricey for bare bones room amenities.

    The staff were very friendly and helpful. The wifi was spotty but worked well when it was working. The breakfast was decent, the fresh juice the staff made was amazing. Did not love the room that was in the jungle below in the basement. But overall it was a good stay and great location.

    Music from the clubs close by was very loud and until the early hours of the morning. The sound of the generator was also annoyingly loud if like me you prefer to sleep with windows open and without AC. Lightning of room not great either (no side lamps or dim lights). Cars parked in the drive way ruin the vibe. Considering the price, I expected a far better overall experience. Also, a few mishaps like the toilet bin in the room not having been emptied and cleaned when I arrived is not a mistake that should happen when paying those amounts. Lastly there is no real homely area to hang out to read a book or do some writing.

    Location is good in the busy coast of Tulum, decor is cool vintage chic, staff are great and very helpful. Breakfast is basic (fruit, yoghurt, toasted bread) but decent.

    The showers aren't very powerful and i think this is an issue throughout Tulum Beach zone due to water pressure. The breakfast could be laid out more easily, esp. for hungover guests ;)

    The staff were superb at the hotel. Adriana (manager) was very welcoming and Emilio and Goncalvo very friendly and helpful with requests. The rooms have a chic vintage feel. The jungle views are nice and give some acoustic shelter from the party on the strip.

    After flying overnight no sleep 2 planes 2 buses and moped to the hotel I arrived here- Upon checkin I was shown to the room which had Ac inside, within an hour I realized it was disabled. On this day it was 95 deg 80% humid in Tulum. I was confronted by reception girl Daniella who told me my card on booking didnt go through and I need to pay. I then told her I would leave due to Ac issue, she immedietly became hostile and threatened to call the police if i didnt pay. The gate was closed on me and I was told I need to pay to leave, I decided to pay the 1st night to avoid any further escalation.

    nice Irish lad grounds keeper who assisted in calming down reception girl

    The parking is limited and we had to leave our keys to move cars around, and thats when the hotel was not even fully booked. Slippery floors if wet.

    Perfect location if you would like to go to beach clubs and restaurants. Very good water pressure, with very hot and cold water. Rare in Tulum

    Nobody was there sor several hours around 6h so I could not have a room. I called many times and even came back. They charged me extra fees that they do not want to me to refund, plus extra fees for a cancellation night wich I end paying 1 night at around 550us (3x higher). Shower did not work well. Perhaps, great jungle view and well situated.

    well situated.

    Overpriced & 1.7km from the free beach access.

    The jungle view sounds cool in theory but it gets no sun on the balcony & so there are tons of mosquitoes day and night so we couldn’t use it. Don’t be fooled by the location- although the property is ‘across the street’ from the beach, the only enter point is 1.7 km from Casa Ambar at Posada Lamar unless you want to pay $70 US (average) for beach access from one of the neighbouring beach clubs. We drove down & we’re lucky enough to get a parking spot (there are only 4 spots). There are only 4 parking spots- fortunately the property wasn’t busy when we were there. WIFI was terrible. We ended up having to turn on our roaming data.

    Close to tons of restaurants (everything is over priced though). The bed was large & comfortable. Shower was hot & they provided body wash, shampoo & conditioner. AC was excellent. Room was large & spacious. Kitchen downstairs had a fridge & everything you need to cook. Staff was incredibly friendly. It’s $69 USD or $1,200 MXN for walk in. Booking on this platform is not a good deal.

    There is not a hotel. There is just a accommodation room with zero customers service, zero security. Very poor electricity and water. No water after 9pm at all. Place very insecurity and very dark.

    Location is not bad.

    This property has a lot of potential to be good; however, at this time it's pretty terrible. This is more of a Hostel. They have their own power generator and power/lights go out for an extended period of time multiple times a day AND night. We didn't feel safe to be in the complete darkness and had to find a different hotel the next day. Terrible internet connection. Water in the sink was leaking. Bed sheets had stains.

    Very friendly staff on site.

    You should note, A/C is only from 9pm-7am... the whole area does not have a sufficient electrical infrastructure so every property has to run generators to run A/C... Also wifi does not reach room 1. I do recommend that both properties get StarLink and check all repeaters for functionality. ALL GUESTS WANT FAST WIFI... now STARLINK makes that possible in tulum where all infrastructure is very substandard

    Location COULD NOT BE BEAT! REALLY GOOD VALUE! Cool eco rooms

    Casa Ambar have changed our reservation to their sister Posada Lamar the one with beach club which was amazing - we love our room, just few steps to the beach, great pool area and beach chairs. Breakfast was served on our balcony every morning ( we didn’t have breakfast include, it’s around 500 pesos per person) last day they kindly gave us a complimentary breakfast.
