I booked this hotel at the last minute when the booking I had made well in advance ended up being fraudulent. I chose it because it was very close to the Super Aki and the main road. It was easy to find but from the outside it did not look like a hotel but more like a restaurant. You have to actually go through the restaurant to find the reception desk. Jose at the front desk greeted me which such kindness. I got a room on the second floor close to the back, away from Coba avenue. The hotel is really pretty a colourful with colourful art work adorning the walls and a cute pool in the middle of the hotel that I did not get a chance to use. The room was cute and very clean. I had two double beds and a small table . There was also a fridge with glasses. The bed was comfortable and the bed sheets and pillow smelled nice. The lighting in the room however was very low . They had a gift shop boutique and their own restaurant. My room rate included breakfast which was good. I had chilaquile verde con huevos which tasted good . I had lunch there as well which consisted of pescado Fritos con aroz y verduras ( fried whole fish with veggies and rice. I was a little taken back when I was charged 60 pesos for a tiny glass of on that was less than 125ml! The waitress was really cold with me but then again that may be because I forgot to tip her!

The fridge did not work very well and didn't cool off my water. The shower had low pressure but the water was nice and hot. Unfortunately I had one if the worse nights ever staying at this hotel. There was super loud club music that only stopped at 4 m. Also, the dogs in the neighbourhood were out of controls and barked non stop all through the night and day. To add insult to injury the cleaning staff were super loud and talked in front of my room preventing me to sleep a little more in the morning. So I left the place the next day exhausted and having only slept 2 hours due to the noise. I booked a different place in Tulum and luckily got some sleep there.
