It was pretty good. The lights went out in the bathroom a few times, but we’ve dealt with worse. The guy who checked us in was really nice. We’re english speaking- and he was very patient and spoke way better english than we do Spanish. But then we couldn’t find anyone who worked there until like 10:30 the next day. Like we were going to check out at one point but there literally wasn’t anyone in reception or anywhere. We just left to get breakfast for a bit instead. You can walk just about anywhere from there it seems- Coba is tiny though so it doesn’t matter where you stay if you’re worried about being able to walk places. Also it was very quiet- only a little eerie. We only seen one other person while we were there. There’s fun swings by the lake outside :) Lots of dogs that don’t look like they are dying :)

The facility is interesting, feeling a bit like a monastery rather than a traditional hotel. The finishing is all simple, but clean and functional. And the hotel is right on the lake -- though not swimable due to a crocodile. We had breakfast (which cost extra) which was fine and everyone at the place was friendly. Given that it had a bit of character, we hope to return if we are in Coba again! It is only a few blocks from the ruins, and by staying overnight we were able to get the ruins early the next day, before the crowds arrived.

It’s at the end of a dirt road. The website mentioned that it has a restaurant but it’s closed, the pool deck is rotting and it’s difficult to get a taxi as the taxi company does not answer the phone. We did love the pool and the rooms but we killed a huge spider in my parents room, it looked that it was a baby tarantula. It was in the bathroom towels. I would definitely stay there again as I don’t mind walking in the heat from the main road to the hotel. One thing to considered that being a small town restaurants and some stores close at 5pm.

Decepción total y NO recomendable

El primer inconveniente fue al llegar a mi habitación y la misma no estaba preparada, luego me asignan otra en un segundo piso en donde para llegar a ella había que caminar bastante. Al mismo tiempo no se vio empleado alguno para asistirte con las maletas. De camino a la habitación vi almohadas, vasos, platos sucios en el pasillo. La almohada la recogieron luego de quejarme pero los platos y vasos sucios aun estaban en el mismo lugar al siguiente día. Me dejaron menos de la mitad del papel higiénico en la habitación y tres hojas en la caja de papel facial. No tenían agua caliente y no señal de TV. La cocina del hotel cerrada ya que no contaban con un sustituto (a) luego de ausentarse la cocinera(o). A eso del medio día las cervezas en la barra, ya se habían terminado.

Avoid this hotel. The hotel had no hot water and they did not tell us at check in. The wc had no toilet cover. We were given a coffee maker with no filter. The restaurant never worked. We were told breakfast started at 7:30 and then planned our day around it. At 7:30 everything was dark. They told us there was yet another emergency. The day we left (to another hotel, being desperate of the disaster service) after being told hot water would come back in the early afternoon but did not. We explain why but they did not care, and told us hot water was back. We checked but it was again false.

Peaceful elegance

The Kaab Coba hotel is lovely and a good value. We stayed in a family room which had been re-modeled with very nice details such as grab bars in the bathroom, nice recessed lighting niches and good firm beds. The ac unit was a bit too powerful for the size of the room causing it to be difficult to regulate the temp and humidity. The pool is very nice and the general ambiance is very relaxing and elegant. The dinner menu at the restaurant is very limited but there are plenty of places to eat in the immediate area. The fruit salad at breakfast is great.The very short distance to the Coba archeological site is wonderful and the town appears to be building a nice Corniche type boardwalk along the lake. I would definitely revisit this hotel.

Beautiful!

This is a really beautiful place. The pool is gorgeous and clean and the plants around it are beautiful, and there's always at least some parts sunny and some parts shady. There's a ledge/bench around one wall of the pool that tiny kids could walk on if you have littles. The place seems to be like a convent, with little alcoves where you'd expect a statute of the Virgin Mary or a bowl of holy water. It's on a beautiful lake that the sun sets on and water birds hunt fish. When we went in January, it was pretty deserted. The staff are very nice, tolerant of our poor Spanish. The restaurant seemed open very rarely; it wasn't very clear when or where it was, but there are plenty of other places to eat that are delicious nearby. The hotel is a 10 minute walk to the ruins. (We got a guide (Otto), who was great, but pricey, $1600.) The staff didn't have the best directions about the bus out of Coba, but the restaurant with the Coba sign and chilli peppers and swing out front did have good information. The bus out of Coba picks you up in front of that restaurant (not the side of the road that the hotel is on). First it goes down the other side of the street; wave to the driver then so he sees you. Then it goes down to the ruins and goes back up the other side, the side of the restaurant. Wave to the bus driver again so he stops. The buses are labeled either Playa del Carmen or Merida or Valladolid (the Merida one stops at Valladolid, cost ~60 pesos pp to Merida).

Pleasant enough. Coba really is a quiet place with some hidden gems to offer. If you stay here, I recommend checking out the Batik Cafe near the archaeological site. They offer some unique tours - although a little overpriced. But definitely worth it. There were also some lovely cenotes there that were pretty much empty and we had the whole place to ourselves. The published cenotes were definitely not as nice as the ones shown to us on the tour. The hotel really just left us to our own but provided some other recommendations. It was Ok, the pool was lovely!

It's has a very pleasant atmosphere and is very clean. The only problem was that there was a large group there as part of a retreat (something with yoga) that were loud at times. They had brought their own mixing equipment and PA system, so they got loud at the pool. We had just got back from exploring the Coba ruins, and the reverberations in our room was pretty crazy as we tried to relax. It was only late afternoon and it didn't last too long, but it was certainly disruptive. They also partied a little late, past the official quiet hours, and they would leave the pool area in a bit of a mess that wasn't cleaned up very quickly, so we had to move stuff around ourselves. I understand that a big group will be louder, but perhaps more staff to keep up after them and enforcing the quiet times would have made the stay a little more comfortable. You know you're getting old ...

Someone has put their heart and soul into creating a dreamy hotel. Every walkway was immaculate and our room was too. We were greeted by a friendly young man named Jonathon who was kind enough to show us the ruins on the property as our dinner was being prepared. The ruins were dated 600 - 800 AD. Simply incredible!

Dinner included tacos, chicken empanizida?, quesadilla, salad, and fries. It was delicious and the male chef made sure we were happy. Excellent service!

Handmade wooden furniture fills the rooms and dining area. Both locations wrap around a softly bubbling, sparkling swimming pool. The sounds of wildlife and gently piped in music made us feel like we were in our own casa grande.

Property included covered hammocks, a neat sweat lodge which smelled good- like incense or something, and a covered patio overlooking the lagoon. Birds and butterflies abounded, and without mosquito spray in June we got no bites- surprising!

The architecture of the small cozy rooms included curved nooks with warm lighting and made us want to stay much longer than the one night we booked. It would be a perfect place to settle in to for a month and to find a way to contribute to the community. I could learn much from the beautiful Mayan people.

We checked out late with warm goodbyes from the you g lady at the desk, waves and smiles from the men building on the property. As we walked away from the bubbling entryway fountains, I find my way back to this one of a kind place.

Beautiful property not far from the archeological site that has been challenged greatly over the past year by hurricane and pandemic. Tourism in Coba dropped precipitously. As a result, there have been few guests and the hotel’s restaurant and other amenities (except the lovely pool) have been shut down. That said, the hotel is being meticulously maintained. The rooms surround the pool and garden with tall palms. Our room was spotless and characterized by stucco walls with some recessed lighting in alcoves in the wall as well as custom woodwork, Cable TV, and strong wifi signal.
