We stayed here for 4 nights during my friend's bachelor trip, and it was absolutely amazing! From the moment we arrived, we fell in love with the atmosphere. Our group of 10 girls had such a fun and memorable time. The property is beautiful and well-maintained, and every corner feels like a little slice of paradise. One of the highlights was our rooms being right on the beach!!! Waking up to the ocean views every morning was unbeatable, and having easy access to the beach made the entire stay feel extra special. We felt incredibly safe and comfortable the entire time. I highly recommend this hotel and can't wait to go back.

The entire experience at Ahau was amazing. The resort fully embodies the Tulum vibe. We splurged and enjoyed a 2nd floor King Suite with a beautiful beachfront view. The concierge team was immensely helpful in planning and booking excursions. The beach was fantastic aside from the seasonal sargassum. The restaurant food and service were great. Our waiter, Sergio, took great care of us and always greeted us with a warm welcome & smile. Lastly, the added bonus of free access to The Face of Tulum and Jungle Gym helped set this resort apart from all the others we saw while in Tulum.

We highly recommend Ahau for couples or families seeking the full Tulum experience!

We recently stayed at Ahau Tulum and had a bit of a mixed experience. The property itself is absolutely beautiful the views are stunning, the rooms were clean and comfortable except for the fact the shower in room 22 did not get warm at all. we really loved seeing the animals around the resort. It truly has a unique, relaxing vibe that makes it feel special.

However, chris at the front desk was the only nice genuine worker. the service unfortunately took away from the overall experience. We found the staff to be overly pushy when it came to promoting their rewards program, which made interactions feel more like sales pitches than genuine hospitality.

We also had an uncomfortable experience with tipping. When we asked for small bills, we were repeatedly given larger ones, which led to us unintentionally leaving a very large tip for a single drink. When we adjusted our tipping afterward, the same server made a joking comment about what he expected for a tip. From that point on, his attitude noticeably changed — he stopped greeting us and the service became unfriendly.
It gave us the impression that there were assumptions made about us financially, which made us feel uncomfortable and impacted our stay greatly.

While the property itself is stunning and has so much potential, the service experience was disappointing enough that we would not choose to stay here again.

It’s beautiful there! Staff worked continuously clearing beach. Included breakfast was very good. You have to put toilet paper in trash which is gross and it’s kinda expensive, dinner was 50 to 60$ each and drinks 17$ but other than that we loved our stay there. Had a great time!

This property is beautiful and clean. Staff is welcoming, attentive and pleasant. The beach is stunning and the vibe is calm and zen. The room does not have a mini fridge which was very surprising to learn upon arrival to our room considering we are in a hot climate. The room also does not have a hair dryer or a coffee maker. In my opinion those should be included especially for the price of the room. The food was good however like everywhere in Tulum, extremely expensive, example you will pay around 30$CAN for a Margarita. There is a taco spot just accross the street which was good and comparable to North American pricing. The Starbucks is also right next to the hotel but the prices are absolutely ridiculous. All in all, I do not think the whole experience was worth the money spent. Because of these reasons despite the hotel itself being beautiful, I would not return.

Tulum has really changed from time we were there. Everything is so much more expensive and couldn't get in beach due to seaweed. Had a few bad experiences where restaurants were automatically charging tips. We used to love Tulum but will not be returning. It's literally turned into Cancun

I can honestly can not find anything negative to say about Ahau. It really was one of the best vacations we’ve ever had. The staff was amazing. The food was amazing, the room was amazing. Entire hotel was amazing. Service was top notch. The ocean was full of sea weed but the hotel was so good at cleaning it up from the beach. These guys work very hard. It takes them hours to clean the sea weed.

The concierge was absolutely perfect. They were always in touch with us. Also one thing I liked was we can ask for anything through WhatsApp. Any request any problem. I like that system a lot.

Very dissatisfied with the process of check in and checking out. Checking in was very slow, only one person at the reception desk and a confusion with the unit that I paid. Also, I got overcharge for the room.
Overall, the hotel is nice, clean, beach front, walkable to shopping and restaurants. It was our first time to Tulum and it was fun.

Its like a Hostel but they charge like a 5 stars hotel.
There was no water in my shower, the room was dirty, in my room there were no black out or courtains in all the windows of the room , so at 7 am the sun was in my face.
They don’t have enough bath towels, we were 3 in the suite and they just put 3 bath towels the first day but the other days the put pool towels instead of bath towels because they didn’t have enough.
There were singers at the restaurant and music from 9 am, and my room was just next to the restaurant so the music was inside my room.
The only thing that its good with this hotel it is the location.

It’s a nice property but we never got room key message till after 430pm. Hotel is nice. Bed is comfortable. I would have given it 5/5 but if you want to sleep forget it, loud boom boom music till 3am. Even with plugs in you can hear it. Nearly checked out at 2am as I was going crazy. Did report it. Butt same thing next night. It’s a good Instagram place but shocking if you want sleep.

We were so disappointed about the service. Upon arrival the staff said do you want a welcome drink as he forgot to asked when we reached the office. There was no warmth at all!
Air conditioning kept going off and had to keep msgning them to put it on! After cleaning our room there was no fresh towel given to us. On the 4th of july a hurricane was expected. We are pressured to check out at 11am then it came to 10 30 am when they check out was at 12! The staff was sitting in our patio and outside our door being so noisy and disrespectful. On the 3rd of july they said they will send a complimentary bottle of wine which never came for my Husband's birthday celebration.
Worst is my card was charged without my consent as they were in a rush to leave! This is unacceptable!
STAFF has to be trained to be more respectful and noisy! Food quality isn't Great!
On the 3rd morning, staff was making so much noise on top of our villa cleaning up.
Very disappointing!

The resort is great for those who really love to live in the jungle. I disliked the humidity in the room which was always at an all time high no matter what we did with the AC. Our room sliding doors when it would rain would leak rain water in the room that didn’t help with the humidity either and made the room smell bad. The facility needs upgrades as you can tell the wood is getting worn out. Food was ok, we ate better at other locations. Location of the hotel is a great one as it’s right next to the statue of the Luz and other great restaurants such as Rosa Negra and Ilios. I would not stay here again due to the rooms needing some serious upgrades to make your stay and sleep more comfortable.

This property is beautiful, the views are breathtaking. We went for our honeymoon. We had our first night there though in a room where the AC stopped working. Along with it being too hot to fall asleep and the loud club music till 1:30am, This made for a terrible day to follow. The staff and manager were kind and accommodating when we had issues and did refund part of our stay and apologized. But our time was short there and we wished we had chose another place in Tulum. This is not a place for people who aren’t wanting to party all night or light sleepers.

Our stay at Ahau was absolute perfection. Every member of the staff from the check in desk to the beach waitstaff and housekeeping were incredible. We toured several other hotels and none had the combination of rooms, central location and beach access including a pool that Ahau did. I recommend staying on a top floor if you are in a bungalow to enjoy the thatched roof ceiling. The passion fruit margarita is the best in Tulum and the best restaurants are a short walk away. We will def be back. ❤️

Amazing Stay

It was amazing, beautiful room and right on the beach. The only issue was that the shower did not have hot water, and we had no idea it would be outside, which I guess I didn't mind as much as the fact that it was cold water. Other than that, loved my stay and the staff was very welcoming and friendly.

I got the Suite, and front beach. It was very difficult getting to actually see the beach from my suite 2. The palm trees were in the way. I was able to use cabana 2, however, there were always people there unable to enjoy! Pretty upset that my refrigerator was being un plugged aswell and my AC turned off by front staff, after I asked to keep it on at all times. Front desk control AC and I didn’t like that. I don’t know what kept biting me, but I woke up everyday with bites. Either mosquito or ants. Do not leave any type of drinks, food nothing on nightstand because ants will be all over! Noise was super loud at night, unable to sleep!

Brought my wife here for her 40th birthday. It was on her bucket list to visit Tulum. First, it is a king trip from the airport. Once we arrived, noticed that overall Tulum us beautiful. Ahau is a beautiful and unique property. Traditional Mexican architecture combined with modern influences. All rooms are individual bungalows. The problem here is that the a/c is turned off from 9am to 6pm. The last night we had to sleep without a/c because it broke. Informed staff and confirmed by checking the system, but not even issued credit for that night or even a meal. There are mosquitos and bugs everywhere. This hotel is not worth the nightly rate. Restaurant and beach staff is superb!!

The beach was outstanding! Very little seaweed and fine white powder sand. The restaurant food and staff were superb! The front desk reception was lukewarm. Just wanted the credit card info and not very excited to tell us about the amenities. We were told our room wasn’t ready when we arrived at 1:30 pm and reminded us unnecessarily that check in was at 3 pm. This is low season and weird no room available early. No offer to keep our carryon bags so we could enjoy facility earlier. We decided to eat lunch. A nice welcome drink, however, was served and that was appreciated. I was told to look online to see what the facility offered. Also, you need Whats app to communicate with front desk staff. Got very scant orientation to the room. We had to figure out the lock mechanism to the safe with some initial frustration and the AC temp control has 10 buttons and had to guess which one graduated room temp. Incense in room was old & moist so would not light. They got us a fridge for some meds we had, again appreciated that. The light in the fan unit came on twice spontaneously waking us up each time. Also, thumping music from next door bar kept us up ‘til 3 am on Sunday night. This was low season and thankfully this music wasn’t on the last night we were there. This hotel is not for kids. Need to throw out TP in basket not in the toilet as part of eco friendly stance. No TVs in room or nearby facilities. The darling for this hotel is the beach & restaurant food/staff.

Completely UNSATISFACTORY.

We paid for a junior studio with beach which was as described. What was not identified was the music that played till 0500 everyday and that they did not clean the balcony covered poo excreta. No fly screens so mosquitos in room if not wanting to use air conditioning. On requesting a change of room, told music was just the weekend. Untrue. No daybeds around the pool and as the ocean was littered with seaweed this meant walking from beach through dinners to access pool. Staff very pleasant.

Our stay was ruined by a terrible interaction with Management. We had sat down to dinner at the restaurant and ordered. It had been pouring rain for the past hour, but the restaurant was open and serving guests. 15 minutes after ordering we were approached by a waiter who informed us we had to go to our room because of the rain- hotel policy. We were quite confused since the weather conditions were the same. We asked why and the reply was \"because of the rain- hotel policy.\" We asked if we could finish our meal and then go to the room. All of this in a very calm and kind manner. They say no. We start getting up to get our umbrellas and at that point a gentleman standing by the door aggressively tells us: \"I am the Manager and this is not up for discussion, you are ordered to go back to your room! Go now!\" We were completely taken aback. Especially since we were already standing up. At this point I tell him there is no need to be so rude and that we were just trying to understand why since the fact that it is raining does not seem like an emergency to us. He just keeps yelling the same thing and tries to get us escorted to the room. We tell him it is not necessary and walk there ourselves.
It is not until the waiter brings us room service that we were kindly informed that there was an electrical storm warning. If we had been told this from the start we would not have needed any other explanation. Truly appalling. It stopped raining 20 mins after we got to the room.

We had a lovely stay at Ahau. Monce, was so helpful to us from day one. She attended to our needs and made our stay very enjoyable. I will say however that the lighting in the hotel is not great at all especially during the evening. The AC goes off at 9am-9pm however the breeze from the sea was perfect during the day. Overall lovely stay however they can improve on the cleanliness and the lighting within the property (LED lights are somewhat eco-friendly).

This hotel is beautiful, and couldn't be in a better location. It's perfect for anyone that wants to be near the Hot Spots and best dining areas. Their own restaurant food was great too and Raw Love juices and smoothies are great hangover helpers.

But, I also shop for hotels in Tropical Areas like this with 2 things. A shower and AC. They advertised they have both, but we quickly realized they barely had either. The shower barely has water come of it most of the time. And sometimes NO water at. Which wouldn't suck so bad if the AC was working, but the AC is turned off from 9am to 9pm everyday. Systemically. So it's hot and humid AF. Not ideal for my wife and I when we were on our honeymoon.

And completely false advertising. Especially when we paid $750 per room per night. It sucked to be honest. They hotel staff never remade our room and we had breakfast in bed the first night, and those dirty dishes stay just outside our door until the morning we left. 3 2 mornings later. Again, not a big deal...but I paid $750 a night. Figure it TF out.

One of the worst hotels in Tulum

Do not stay at Ahau. Apart from good location, there is nothing positive.

They have front desk but only from 7am - 10pm and many times there is no one at the front desk. I had to ask the people working at restaurant to find front desk people. No phones in room to reach them, only WhatsApp and half the times they do not respond to your messages on WhatsApp.

They take forever to check in. Only one person at front desk and he was attending to another guest so he told me to wait. I waited for 20 mins and when it’s my turn, another guest just walks in and they attend to him, completely ignoring me. Maybe it was due to racism as I am not white and the guest was white but nevertheless, preposterous to say the least. I just walked out to grab lunch.

Rooms are rather small and their is always an issue with water. Atleast 3-4 times the water supply was cut off and it took nearly an hour for them to restore. One time I woke up at 6am and no water and obviously you can’t contact front desk as they operate only from 7am - 10pm.

They have one tiny pool by the restaurant and that’s it. Food at the restaurant is rather average.

Much better hotels available in tulum
