Alaya was perfect for our short getaway. The room we had was an ocean front, second level, full view and it was absolutely perfect. One of the best rooms I’ve ever stayed in, and I do consider myself well travelled. We really needed the break and so the sound of the waves, the sun warming you and waking you in the morning, it felt like heaven. The hotel was the perfect size for us- small and right up close to the beach. We enjoyed the free yoga in the morning and the teacher was great. She went through it very slow since we’re beginners. The drinks were fab, food delicious, staff was very nice and attentive. Ronnie was super kind, him and Henry made it a good time on the beach with wonderful service and cocktails. Stefan at the front desk was very thorough with information, he cared and wanted to make it a wonderful stay for us. Chakra session with Georgina was life changing! Seriously, if you’re ready, don’t miss out! The Mayan Clay massage was wonderful and relaxing. Loved Alaya! We don’t get to take adult only trips often but we would love to say we’ll be back in the future! Thank you Alaya team

We had an amazing 2 day stay at Alaya. Front desk staff were so helpful. Daily yoga at 9am was an excellent offering that even my 5 year old son was welcomed. Parking was super convenient and the location of Alaya in my opinion was fantastic. Perfectly walkable to surrounding restaurants and the overall property had an amazing atmosphere. Celebrated our 9 year wedding anniversary which Alaya staff made even more special. I cannot say more other than I highly recommend.

I didn’t like that we were not able to ungrade our room when the facility was super empty. There wasn’t many people there when we stayed and apparently they didn’t have availability for room upgrade. We got a room that was located right above the reception area. There was also a lot sea weed at the shore.

This hotel might be alright for some, but be aware of a few drawbacks. First, the advertised photos don't accurately reflect the condition of the hotel. Second, if you value peace and quiet, this might not be the best choice. There's limited noise insulation, and we were unfortunately disturbed every night by loud guests upstairs. Despite repeated complaints to the management, the issue wasn't addressed, significantly impacting our sleep quality. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this hotel to travelers seeking a relaxing and quiet stay.

We were a group of girls staying, felt like the people at reception were slightly intrusive. They kept an eye on our every move, which was a bit weird and made comments on what we had done in our room. The resort overall was nice and the beach was lovely, although there were heaps of seaweed they were not getting rid of.

I loved the vibe of this hotel, calm and relaxing which is opposite of the party vibe in tulum. The staff is incredibly helpful and kind. I did a yoga class that was fantastic with a wide open and breeze room. The chef was kind enough to prepare a simple meal for my husband who had a stomach bug. Gaby went out of her way to bring my breakfast out to the beach :) Tulum has really changed from our last trip 7 years ago and it feels super busy but this hotel makes you feel very relaxed! loved it
