The place is relatively newly built and has all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. Gaston and Enrique were more than friendly and helpful and made sure that we were comfortable. Breakfast was included in the room rate and there are a few nice options to choose from. They also have a lunch menu that is served until 4 PM. 
The pool is nice for a cooling dip, but small for swimming. The town and bay of Akumal are at approximately 6 km, so a car comes in handy.

Comfortable room and nice setting off beach!

I stayed from New Years Eve 2016 into 2017 and if we are referring to the same incident, the review about the water is a bit of an exaggeration. Yes, the water went off, but it wasn't off for 24 hours. It went off late morning and the issue was resolved that night. There could've been better communication while the crisis was happening because none of us knew what was going on. And after it was resolved, the water wasn't very warm. But I do believe they did their best to fix it as soon as possible. Additionally, the wifi didn't work in our room at all although it did seem to work downstairs. 

However, there were great things about the hotel. I thought the breakfast was absolutely delicious, as were the fresh smoothies. It's conveniently located off the 307 and it's really easy to get to Akumal beach (2 mins) or Tulum (15-20 mins) by colectivo. It's also easy to waive or call a cab. The decor of the rooms was really nice. 

If you plan on spending a lot of time in Tulum at night, it's best to rent a car. The hotel is about 15-20 minutes from Tulum by taxi, which costs about $25. We ended up spending $50 a day on cabs because it's not practical to take a colectivo after dark (the colectivo is a cheap and convenient way to get around during the day). To get to the main road from the hotel, you have to walk 5 minutes down a dirt road through completely unlit jungle. Personally, I didn't have the cojones to do so at night. A car would've made everything easier since we were spending the money anyway. 

I gave this place 3 stars because of the wifi and water issues. However, the hotel has a lot of potential. 

Some issues but overall decent stay 

We wouldn’t recommend this resort to anyone! Despite the manager did everything he could to make our stay pleasant it still was disappointing. The room smelled of smoke, the bedsheets didn’t look very clean and the general maintenance wasn’t good. There were no facilities at the resort and we think the room rate was overpriced. 

Really not recommended 

Despite the spacious room, unique breakfast options and friendly staff, I cannot recommend this B&B. 
The security is non-existent, literally. There is a large hole in the perimeter fence, no overnight staff on the property, the windows and doors to the room can be breached with minimal effort.  We were burgled on our first night and suffered $1500.00 in losses. In addition to this serious issue the mattress was hard and there is a very loud water pump that turns on when any source of water flow is used.

Burgled!

I didn't manage to sleep for a second in this hotel!! They have some sort of water pump that pumps waters from the cenotes near by into the hotel and it's the noisiest machine in the world. The pump works non stop and is heard throughout the whole hotel. Kills the whole mood. Plus, the hotel has nothing eco or chic about it, that's just another way of saying cheap. The pictures in the website are misleading, our room was missing all sort of decoration and was only left with nails on the walls and dead or empty plant pots. With so many hotels to choose from around here, do yourself a favor and go somewhere else.
