I should have read the other reviews... the loud party scene was oppressive and nearly non-stop from noon 'till after midnight. After two nights, we couldn't take it anymore and departed earlier than planned.
The first room we stayed in, did not have a lock on the sliding door to the beach, and we did not feel safe leaving our valuables in the room. When we shared the issue with the Frontdesk manager, he said there was nothing to be done, because there was no maintenance person working that day... again, should have read the reviews, as there are other reviews about, what I'm guessing, is the same issue with the same door... still hasn't been fixed.
The next day they moved us to a room on the 2nd floor... this room had much better safety and all door locked. Luckily it didn't rain, because we would have gotten soaked! There were a number of large holes in the thatch roof, two over the bed... so we would have been soaked in our sleep (if we could have slept through the loud music next door). Again... should have read the reviews... 'cause there are reviews of holes in the roof and other guests getting wet during a rain storm.
It had been many years since my last visit to this part of Tulum... last time I stayed a few doors to the north and ate lunch at Las Estrellas... my memory was that it was extremely nice and "high end"... I don't think there has been any investment into the property for years.
