I had a lovely stay at The Waves Tulum. the staff was exceptionally friendly and made me feel welcome. However, I did notice that some facilities, like the pools, could have been cleaner and the jacuzzis didn’t get warm as promised. The location was a bit at the edge of town, which made it tricky to explore at night.

I stayed in a Deluxe King Studio which was spacious and had a nice personal plunge pool on the balcony. The room was clean and well-maintained.

Service

9.0

The staff were caring and attentive, always ready to help with a friendly smile. Communication in English was a big plus for me.

Location

7.0

The hotel is somewhat distant from the main attractions, making it less convenient for exploring Tulum after dark. I felt best sticking to the main avenida during the evening.

Dining

7.0

Breakfast was satisfactory, though I did have to wait for a table on multiple occasions. The room service pizza was a standout and absolutely delicious.

Facilities

7.0

There are multiple pools available which were quite nice overall, but they could use more cleanliness. The sauna wasn't operational during my stay, which was disappointing.

I had a decent experience at The Waves Tulum. While the room was comfortable and I enjoyed the breakfast options, the service left much to be desired. The hotel is quite a distance from the beach and the neighborhood wasn't the most inviting at night.

Service

5.0

The service was disappointing. Staff seemed bothered by my questions and it took multiple requests to get simple things done, like room cleaning.

Location

The hotel is situated quite far from the beach, and the neighborhood felt unsafe at night with limited lighting. It took around 10 minutes by taxi to get to the beach.

Dining

Breakfast was included and I really liked the options, especially the fresh fruit. But I wished there was food available after 11 a.m., as the pizza at the pool bar was not operating during my stay.

I enjoyed my stay at The Waves Tulum, especially the swimming pools and the overall value for money. However, I had some disappointing experiences with the breakfast and the room size, which was misleading. It was also frustrating that my request for a slight late checkout was denied.

Rooms

7.0

The King Studio with Sofa Bed had a good layout, but the claims of 80+ sqm are inaccurate since the actual room was closer to 35/38 sqm. While the room value is reasonable, I felt the external areas didn't add much usability.

Service

6.0

The reception staff was polite, but I was disappointed by the inflexibility regarding the checkout time. A minor request like that should have been accommodated more graciously.

Location

8.0

The hotel is in a quiet area, which is a plus if your room is on the reception side. It’s convenient for accessing nearby attractions.

Dining

5.0

The breakfast could use improvement as it was quite poor and lacked variety, especially fresh vegetables. The restaurant options were also overpriced for the quality provided.

Facilities

The facilities were adequate but could use some maintenance. I enjoyed the swimming pools, yet felt some amenities needed more attention to cleanliness.

My stay at The Waves Tulum was mostly enjoyable. the staff were incredibly friendly and the hotel itself offered good value. However, I did notice some drawbacks, particularly with the surrounding area, which felt less safe at night and the road leading to the hotel was quite bumpy and unkempt.

Rooms

I stayed in a Superior Studio, which had a pleasant design and offered cooking facilities. though the plunge pool turned my swimsuit green due to low chlorine levels one day. The room was cozy and equipped nicely, making my stay comfortable overall.

Location

The hotel is situated about 2.3 km from the nearest beaches, and while I enjoyed the starry night skies, the area felt a bit rough during the day. I had to walk a less pleasant dirt road to get to the main strip.

Dining

The breakfast buffet was a highlight, featuring delicious options including fresh seasonal fruits. I always looked forward to starting my day with a good meal.

Facilities

The facilities were decent. I enjoyed the main pool, which was usually quiet and sometimes felt like it was all mine. The gym had great equipment for a solid workout, enhancing my overall experience.

My experience at The Waves Tulum had a few highlights, like the spacious King Studio with solid wooden furniture and a decent kitchen, but it was overshadowed by some disappointments. The location wasn't ideal, being in a slum-like area, and the amenities left a lot to be desired, like the broken pool bar and poorly maintained surroundings.

Rooms

7.0

I stayed in the King Studio, which was spacious but had a strong smell of humidity. The shower had some issues and the fridge was quite loud. The decoration, however, was charming and the beds were comfortable.

Service

6.0

The staff was friendly although somewhat overwhelmed—they primarily communicated through WhatsApp, which was a bit odd. I felt that requests sometimes got lost in translation, as our room wasn’t ready until four.

Location

5.0

The location was quite problematic for me. Surrounded by less desirable neighborhoods and a bumpy road to reach the hotel, it was inconvenient to access restaurants and attractions without relying on taxis.

Dining

6.0

Breakfast was served from 8 a.m., and while it was decent, it didn't really excite me (though I appreciated the homemade sweets!).

Facilities

5.0

Unfortunately, many facilities were not in use—like the pool bar and gym—which was disappointing. The overall maintenance seemed lacking, with broken furniture and old towels.
