This is a great alternative to the Loud Beach Clubs on the street, Very low key w/Great service and Breakfast!
We really enjoyed our stay at Alaya Tulum. Accommodations were nice. Clean, comfortable room with easy access to the beach. Quiet resort with great staff. Would recommend.
Very peaceful place. Staff is super friendly. Food and drinks are lovely. I enjoyed the morning yoga and meditation.
The beach loungers could use some repairs.
Ocean front room was perfection! Watching the sun rise over the ocean from bed, having breakfast served on the patio while watching the waves, listening to the sounds of the surf while drifting off to sleep all made the trip magical! All the staff were lovely, food and drinks were delicious and perfect location on the beach! Highly recommend for anyone looking to relax.
Really great location. Felt like I was on my own deserted island. Room was like an island treehouse. Listening to the ocean at night on my own deck was amazing. Food was excellent and great staff made this a very enjoyable stay. If I’m ever back at Tulum beach I will know where to stay!
Incredible location! One of the best hotels in the whole area

Lovely stay! I enjoy resorts with fewer rooms. Alaya was perfect!! Beautiful room. Beautiful beach location. Exceptional staff. Onsite restaurant, morning yoga & beach front massages was a plus, plus. Definitely going to stay here again!!
This place is absolutely incredible. From the environment, proximity to the beach, service and the room. We loved it and would love to come back. Very walkable to all of the restaurants and shops.
The hotel was the highlight of our trip. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, the room was spotless, and it's within walking distance of many restaurants and shops. The complimentary drinks and breakfast were excellent. I highly recommend it; it has a family-friendly atmosphere and is very peaceful.
Unforgettable and romantic experience! This hotel became our second home, our room was spotless and beautiful, the beach was beautiful and you can get service to your beach beds, the amenities, the food and wellness services like everyday yoga at 8 am really made our stay a wonderful time, my husband and I will certainly come back as soon as we can, thank you so much Alaya Tulum!
Alaya Hotel was a lovely stay. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and made us feel comfortable. Daniel helped us check in after a long travel day, and was super informative and welcoming! He made our check in quick and easy so we could immediately relax (Thanks Daniel!)
The room was lovely and tropical, room service was great, waitstaff were smiley, and the food was awesome!
Just returned from a lovely visit to Tulum. Alaya was lovely. We had a second floor beach front room with amazing views. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The food and service was excellent too. Looking forward to returning as 6 days was not long enough!
