We just spent a week at this amazing boutique hotel and absolutely loved it! The best service in the world (especially Steven and Miguel). If quiet surroundings, solitude from not being around many people, nourishing food and the most gorgeous ocean blue are your vibes this is your place. We enjoyed the gym. Breakfast was made to order from their menu (the avocado/greek yogurt bowl with fresh roasted pumpkin seeds, chia seeds and fresh fruit was our favorite). The food was so delicious we ended up eating every meal there, and highly recommend the fish tacos, chicken mole, and mezcal sampler. The staff was super helpful in arranging our excursions, which included a pickup on the beach to go snorkeling, see the ruins and swim with the sea turtles and manna rays. The beach has a lot of rocks, so definitely bring water shoes (but they have some to borrow if you need it). We also enjoyed sea kayaking, in the shallow reef area, the beautiful sea breeze, ocean view room and mellow atmosphere. If I go again, I would pick up a few bottles of water at the airport and bring to the hotel.

Hotel is fine. Good food and clean, well organized rooms. the problem is the location unless you want to scuba dive. The road to the hotel is rutted, potholed and difficult to navigate. It is muddy to walk, and a long way from anything other than the sister hotels. The beach. is rocky and similarly hard to navigate.

Very comfortable hotel with nice small restaurant on site. Two other hotels in the same ownership group are nearby so that you can walk to them and share the facilities. The pool here is small and the beach access small but you can walk down to a sister hotel And enjoy a change of pace there. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Very relaxed, low-key atmosphere far from the craziness of Cancun. Wonderful balcony and birds and stars at night.

Avoid this place at all cost! While the staff were really nice, this place is unkept, dirty and stink. I regret my stay there. I couldn’t enjoy the pool because of the dirtiness even the beatch is unkept. And it is expensive, the pictures do not reflect the reality at all. This is the first bad review I ever had to write !

Hotel Alea Tulum is open air with a designer pool area and outdoor seating for meals next to the beach. The beach is more rocky than sandy with sargasso grass drifts on the seashore. Across the dirt road is a wonderful denote. The staff is excellent! The food options are flavorful. There’s isn’t any nightlife within walking distance. Bars are in resort villas/residences/hotels. It’s quiet.

Avoid This place like the plague ! We booked last minute on Expedia so we had to pre-pay. What a mistake! I can’t believe people rate this crappy place this highly. For starters, you drive 1 mile down a dirt road that is badly damaged. I thought it was going to damage the rental car. We asked for our money back immediately after arriving and touring the property, but they would not give us our money back. The view was decent and the room was decent, but everything else was terrible. The safe was broken. The hot tub was broken. The pool was freezing and dirty. We booked a swim up room on purpose because we love to get in and out of the water but that didn’t happen. The beach was also gross with algae and seaweed. There was also a rock shelf that went out for about 100 yards that made it dangerous to walk out. Other properties in the area had built a dock where you could swim out past the rocks.. This property did not. Most of the outside dining chairs were also broken. There aren’t any sidewalks or street lights either. The electricity went out on the fourth day, alll day, of our six day stay and so we left on the fifth and they even refused to give us one day credit. The only redeeming factor was the food was very good and so was the service— only of the weight staff. The front desk personnel and management were terrible. Also a margarita was $17 as they have you captive.

The room was such a dream. Very beautiful, clean, and comfortable. Staff was amazing, very attentive. If you want to get away for a relaxing mini getaway this is it. It isn’t too far from tulum beach. We rented a bugbee and got there safely back and forth. The only thing I didn’t like was the bumpy road to get to Alea.

Where do I begin? We got our Expedia VIP Gold member upgrades- wine AND room! The service is first class. Everyone was sooooo nice and helpful!!!! If you can, get the penthouse with the ‘hot tub’. The view is BREATHTAKING! During this season seaweed is plentiful. We were not able to snorkel but that should not be a factor. We took a quick drive down to Akumal beach and another day we walked right next door to the cenote (we kayaked thru the mangroves). I would ABSOLUTELY recommend this property to anyone! I went with a girl friend not my significant other. It was definitely romantic and I cannot wait to share this place with a SO. My gf got on the paddle board. Water shoes, life vests, snorkel gear and flippers are provided for FREE! So you really do not have to pack snorkel or water shoes (like I did). The food is excellent, fresh and gourmet! The property was easy to find and we felt very safe. Just book it!!!

This property is one of our favorites in the area. It allows you to have close proximity to the beach and snorkeling. Although this beach is beautiful in different ways, it does not have clear white sand with no rocks, and that is understandable since the reef is located in front of it. Perfect for snorkeling! The amount of sea weed aka sargasso, is not under the control of any property owners in the peninsula, but with that said, and the fact that a hurricane had just passed through, it was in great shape. My husband and I really love the calm, relaxed vibe that this area provides. The food is always great and the staff goes out of their way to make you feel at home. My only dissatisfaction is that the fridges in the rooms do not keep the beverages cold. But some ice and a foam cooler took care of that problem and I hardly find that reason to complain much since they provided the ice. Overall if you are looking for a vacation place to get disconnected from the rat race of the city life, this is it!!! But if you want to be close to bus routes and public transportation, or a mall and the night club seen, unfortunately your taxi is about a 10 minute walk down a dirt road. If you rent a car there is parking though. So this place is perfect if you want peace and quiet on the beach away from the city.
