Perfect location
Beautiful villas right on the beach. Perfect location with several restaurants/bars nearby. Great staff/service. Great breakfast and beach bar service. Very thankful to the staff for helping us find an emergency doctor and dentist after a fall. The floors are very slick so be careful if wet. Love Alaya. Love Tulum.

Great cozy hotel right on the beach. Truly an amazing experience. The only downfall is since it’s on the beach you can only get to the hotel by taxi and it cost $30-$40 for every time you enter and leave the area to go into the city. And taxi drivers are always trying to maximize how much they charge. For that reason alone I will not stay in the beach area again. That was too frustrating. The first night I arrive the taxi drivers went on strike and there wasn’t any taxis available the second day I was in Tulum. I felt trapped. Be ready to spend a lot of money on their food as well. My friend and I would spend $60-$90 on breakfast alone at the hotel. I will say the food is super clean. They offer all healthy choices. They offer you one free healthy drink a day .i chose a shot of tumeric and ginger. Waking up on the beach was also breathtaking. The stars at night are amazing.

This place is really perfect. A great location within walking distance to the restaurants and shops but also quiet and laid back to relax at the absolutely gorgeous beach. The property is wonderful. It is a small place, it is surrounded by jungle plants, white sand and the turquoise sea is steps away. The small houses and spacious rooms are beautiful. One thing to keep in mind is that AC is off between 8:30am and 6:30pm. We are used to having AC on all day at our home but honestly we were not bothered by this limitation. I really don’t want to write this review so that too many people find out about this little gem. I would not hesitate to stay here again when in Tulum.

My stay at Alaya Tulum was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the beauty and tranquility of this incredible place. The entire property is impeccably maintained, with attention to detail evident in every corner. The lush greenery, the artfully designed spaces, and the serene beachfront created an atmosphere of pure relaxation. The service was exceptional from start to finish. Stefan helped us with reservations and the lady who assisted us at check-in were incredibly welcoming, making sure we felt at home right away with a special upgrade to an ocean front room and some champagne and strawberries. Their warmth and professionalism set the tone for the rest of our stay. Throughout our time at Alaya, the entire service staff went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. Whether it was the delicious meals, the perfectly maintained rooms, coffee brought to us in the morning. Simply lovely. Cleanliness was impeccable, and the care taken in maintaining the property added to the overall sense of serenity and luxury. The combination of beautiful surroundings, outstanding service, and those special little touches made our stay at Alaya Tulum an unforgettable experience. I can't recommend this place highly enough for anyone looking to escape to a paradise where every detail is carefully curated for an exceptional stay.

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
