The location on the map isn’t where the property is. It’s 3.5km a 40 minute walk. The host asked for information about my stay before accepting my request. I let the host know I was booking for a family member to stay across from La Zebra where we were staying.When we arrived in Tulum and saw the property was so far away the host said to request a refund. The host denied the refund afterwards. We didn’t use the property and had to pay for other accommodations.

Y’all the staff was so nice. I LOVED this property. The beach is directly behind the hotel. The only downfall is because this is an eco hotel, the air only works during certain times. But it was worth the stay and price!

We had a wonderful stay with Playa Canek! The staff is incredibly kind and helpful, and you cannot beat walking from your room to a perfect beach with soft sand and crystal clear water. Our AC didn’t work one the nights we were there, and we couldn’t adjust the temperature during our stay when it was on, but this was pretty minor and otherwise we had a really wonderful time. Would stay here again!

We really enjoyed the simple elegance of the property. The penthouse suite was reasonably priced relatively speaking, had amazing views and was ad advertised w/ plenty of space. The location was also A for enjoying the Tulum beach hotel / restaurant zone within walking distance. Staff was friendly and helpful, A/C at night was just what you needed for a good rest, and breakfast while small hit the spot daily to start the day off with a snack.

Absolutely perfect for a no-frills beach trip. The staff was phenomenal, friendly, and helpful. Service was great and the staff also was great at sharing local info and recommendations. Couldn’t be easier to walk out of your hotel room and onto the beach with a full bar and cozy beach beds. Gave four stars on facilities only because the AC was down one night because of a power outage so that was a hot night, but was there for 5 nights total with no issues.

The staff was absolutely amazing! We really enjoyed our stay here. Super affordable and the place is stunning! The free breakfast was amazing and the massages we got were incredible! The only downside we had staying here was that there’s extremely limited parking (6 spots) and if there’s no room for you, you have to park across the street for $18 a night. Also, the pool pictured online, is a private pool not accessible to guests.

When we arrived we were extremely disappointed to find that there is a Massive Construction Site right next door. Tons of noise and dust all day long. No peace and quiet. I talked to the manager and she just shrugged and said there was nothing they could do. I enquired about a refund and they said to speak to the owner. He was no help at all either. When we returned from dinner to the hotel there was No Electricity in the entire complex! There was no one even working the desk. There was not a single employee there to help. No A/C. No Wifi. Sand on the floor that was from the previous guest. The electricity returned at 5am when all the lights suddenly turned on waking us up. Then at 7am on a Saturday the construction noise started. Again, no manager on duty until 11am. We decided to check out but there was no manager so we just left the key at the desk. And the owner finally showed up. We complained about the conditions and he said we were lying about the electricity being off. WORST HOTEL EXPERIENCE IN TULUM after 6 years of going twice a year. Do Not Go Here!

We loved our stay, food is amazing and far cheaper than places right off the street. Every single person there was helpful, from the bartender to the office receptionist waly. They literally remembered our names and orders… amazing stay. Oh and the two masseuse ladies WOW. BUT, be mindful that even though it’s pricy, restrooms are ZERO soundproof, very low water pressure, no dryer is provided, and they are super limited with their towels.
