8/10 Very Good

It was nice having a pool and a refrigerator. The air conditioner didn't cool our room to the degree we set it. A gym on the next street plays loud music in the morning. Although the staff is pleasant and most speak English, sometimes no one is around and the water is often empty. Even so, I still would stay there again as the place is in a good location at the edge of town, the price is good, and the grounds are really beautiful.

I liked how central it was. Very close to the main strip and lots of shopping and dining options close by. The room had a fridge which worked very well. The pool was nice and the option to refill the free water was a nice touch! Free coffee too.

Stayed here in early October '22. Very nice quiet property. Pool was excellent. We had the standard triple room above the pool and it was perfect for us. There were some good restaurants within walking distance (La Coqueta for tacos, El Cayuco for seafood, Papaya for good 100 peso pizza) as well as a convenience store a minute away and a large grocery. Great cheap bike rentals a few blocks away (corner of Escorpion Sur and Calle Sol Ote.). Easy access to the bike paths going to the beach or to the temple area. Cheap laundromat with beer and food nearby (Bo). Great birdlife and reptiles in the courtyard, green geckos, large iguana. It's an ideal location in Tulum so long as you don't mind riding bikes to the beach. The rooftop bar (Nana) wasn't loud when we were there and they do have great cocktails (a bit spendy but good). Georgina at the front desk was very nice! We'd stay here again!

2/10 Poor

Please do not waist your time at this property; extremely bad condition. Towels were very old and not clean. Small room, dirty bathroom. No TV. Late night party at the near by room and we could not sleep. Water leaking below the sink. Not all lights in the room was working. No pressure in the water.

Villa Akalan is conveniently located near the Super Aki market, the Collectivo and numerous bike and car rentals. You can walk the main downtown strip in minutes and the beach access is @15-20 walk. Rooms were basic but clean. No extra amenities like shampoo, conditioner or lotion. We had issues with no hot water the first two days. We told the staff and they said they would fix it. Second night still no hot water but we had it on the third morning. Property is really small, maybe 10 units and has a security gate so we felt safe. There’s a small pool that is kept clean. Staff was very nice and professional. If you’re on a budget and want a clean no frills place, that is in walking distance to market, town and beach then you can’t go wrong with Villa Akalan.

Good Wifi, Hot Water, Smelly Bed
This is the 5th hotel I've stayed in Quintana Roo area but the first time my bed and pillows smelled like a sweaty man has been on it previously and the smell soaked into the mattress or something. I don't think it was due to the humidity in the area. My room type was "Superior room with one king bed". It's on the second floor with a very cute balcony and private staircase. The interior of the room is very basic however, with a fridge, air conditioner, ceiling fan, an old couch, a round table, no microwave, and no TV. For me it's fine because I only go back to sleep. The fact that it is really close to a Super Aki supermarket is nice but there is no kitchenette for cooking anyways. What I really enjoyed is the hot water for shower!! It gets really hot really fast. Half of the hotels I've stayed in the Q.R. area barely have hot water, or takes forever to heat up. It was a 17 minutes walk from the ADO terminal.

8/10 Very Good

The place was REALLY nice. That being said what we rented onlive wasn't what the property tried to check us into. It was due to a computer error. Expedia and the hotel both expected us to just be okay sith the downgrade or us pay the difference. When we booked online we selected a room with a full kitchen that slept 3. At check in we were took to a 12X12 room with 2 twin beds no kitchen, tv, or anything. About 2 1/2 hours later on the phone with Expedia we were told pay a lot more additional to the hotel and Expedia would make it right. We did this and unfortunately it took the past 10 days and probably 14 hours of phone calls to finally get the refund. We haven't seen it yet. I would stay again but NEVER without knowing exactly what room it was in advance. I would only rent it inperson. The hotel refuses to answer the phone when Expedia called and this is why it took soooo many days. They didn't care about copies of confirmations or the emails it clearly listed a room with a full kitchen. The people who worked the front desk acted like they cared but had no say on anything only the manager who you never would see. Beautiful property just online printing errors with the room amenities made our stay very frustrating. Thankfully the online errors have been fixed.

This a great property. People were very nice and always very accommodating. Beautiful pool. Small number of guests so very peaceful. Excellent location to the town of Tulum and close to the beach. Would definitely return again and recommend it to others. A good value.

6/10 Good

nice property, room not good
property is pretty with lots of trees and greenery and a scenic pool area. there was always a place to park. the night desk clerk at check-in was very very helpful and went above and beyond. there is a complimentary drinking water cooler at the check-in desk but at night it was empty. i was unable to contact the property by phone before check-in, and hotels.com was unable to reach them either, which would have been unfortunate if i had any issues finding the property or checking in. the room i had (cheapest room, double bed) was extremely bare and sparse, and the bed was hard as a rock (and i normally sleep on a firm mattress). i was only there for 2 nights but i could not have stayed longer. there was a mini fridge provided but it was placed outside the room so it was not secure. there is a small slot window in the bathroom with no screen, looking out into a weird creepy crevice of the building and a wooded area beyond. the room was extremely humid even with the a/c running at 22 degrees C, so it was necessary to have the window open to vent the bathroom. the shower head needed to be replaced (most likely clogged with mineral deposits) because the spray was in all directions and didn't provide enough water pressure despite water pressure at the sink being fine. i also found the temperature to be inconsistent depending upon what i assume is others using water at the same time. the only toiletries provided were a pump container of liquid hand soap at the sink and shower.
