Mereva Tulum draws strong praise for its quiet beachfront setting and friendly staff, while repeated comments note a rough access road, seasonal seaweed on the rocky shore, and occasional hiccups like power outages or uneven service.
Many guests enjoyed the food and generous breakfasts, though others found menu options limited, prices high, or items unavailable at times. Facilities such as two pools, a pier, and complimentary kayaks, paddle boards, and snorkel gear, plus a cenote across the street, are widely appreciated. Rooms are generally spacious and comfortable with sea views, but a few reviews cite AC or hot water issues and occasional room-quality concerns. Expect a peaceful, low‑key stay best suited to travelers comfortable with a remote location.

I read through many of the very good reviews in general but that was not our experience. Family reunion booked 6-9 months ahead of time. A group of 13 probably dropping in excess of $12K over 5 nights. Its a beach hotel so unless you have a car its a challenge and a decent expense to go to the closest town of Tulum. No ATM although they will exchange at the front desk for an unfavorable rate. The dock that was on the beach had a very dangerous thin rope stretching across the two posts of a massage gazebo creating a risk of tripping and being injured. The entry stairs to the water had treacherous algae on the lower two steps and exposed metal from rotted wood.One of the two side rails was loose and not secure.One of the kayaks that was used took on water as the fiberglass was significantly cracked and the family members ended up swimming it back from the reef which was a considerable distance. I have never spent this much on a hotel room(one bed and a toilet that does not allow toilet paper to be flushed)...$600/nite including taxes. .The dirt oad that leads from the main highway is severely in need of repair due to local hydrology issues I was told. The section in front of the hotel is usually filled with puddles, some of large size so transit is not trivial. During our 5 night stay there were several food items that became unavailable for several reasons.So, bottom line its a mediocre to occasionally poor hotel with severely overpriced rooms between xmas and new years.

My girlfriend (friend/colleague/travel buddy) and I stayed at Hotel Mereva during the off-season and absolutely loved it. The hospitality was next level—Erik and Dalia at the front desk were always kind, helpful, and made getting around super easy. The staff, including Felipe, Aaron, Luis, Santos, and Gabriel, were so genuine and warm—it felt like being among friends. The food was unreal. Shrimp tacos, forest pizza, and the heirloom tomato with burrata were top tier. Happy hour had the best 2-for-1 margaritas of the trip. We did the breakfast package too—great options and a perfect start to each day. The property itself is peaceful and beautifully maintained. Two pools, hammocks on the dock, ocean nets to lounge on, plus a plunge pool in our room. Everything worked well—AC, water, all of it. Housekeeping was thoughtful with creative towel animals left daily. We wished we had two more days just to slow down, explore the small nearby town, and take advantage of the kayaks, paddle boards, and bikes included in the stay. Taxis are pricey, but the collectivo bus is easy and cheap if you’re up for a little adventure. Even with off-season rain, it never took away from the experience. Highly recommend for anyone wanting great service, good food, and total relaxation.

I heard the road to the hotel was bumpy. It was more like a bad goat path x 10. When I arrived there was no power, maybe because of the hurricane. The refrigerator didn’t work. The pools were filthy. The staff was non attentive except the the guy at the reception desk. No hot water. The pier was in bad shape, no maintenance done. Boards missing and some partially damaged. The broken boards were weathered. Hasn’t been painted recently, not from the hurricane. The room itself was ok. The bed was comfortable.

The rooms were very spacious and comfortable- it was tough at times to contact the resort via hotels.com, so when I switched to direct communication it was better. The restaurant was good, and the spa was on their nearby sister property that was amazing. It would have been nice to get details on the neighborhood Cenote before visiting to be prepared.

Excelente servicio por parte del personal, muy atentos y pendientes de nuestras necesidades. Instalaciones muy limpias y ordenadas. las albercas impecables. Te facilitan zapatillas acuáticas para entrar al mar o a que es un poco rocoso, tienen kayac y tableros para remar los solicitas en la recepción sin costo alguno. Los desayunos están muy buenos y bien servidos Los meseros en especial muy atentos y amigables! Cons.: para llegar al hotel hay que transitar una calle empedrada en malas condiciones debido a los últimas tormentas que han azotado la zona además de eso como toda región en apogeo económico hay muchas zonas/ edificios en construcción en los alrededores del hotel. No tuvimos ningún problema en nuestra estancia la cual fue del 27 junio al 2 de julio 2024 Regresamos de nuevo sin pensarlo !

Hotel Mereva was beyond amazing. Our room was steps from the sea and beach loungers. We had access to two amazing pools and a cenote across the street. Food and drinks were a 10 out of 10. The service and staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. King size comfy bed with cold AC. We can't wait to go back.

Our stay at Mereva hotel was exactly what we needed. This boutique hotel was right on the beach, we had breakfast with our feet in the sand in the morning, could go snorkeling right in front of the hotel (the hotel provides canoes, fins, water shoes…), the service was great, the hotel and the area are very quiet and you can even go to a mangrove Cenote where a crocodile lives 2mn walk from the hotel.

Beautiful secluded property with amazing food and amenities. Most of the staff was extremely kind and attentive. I have two downsizes however that stopped me from giving 5 stars. The power went in and out and we had no A/C 2 out of 3 nights stay and even though it wasn't the resorts fault I think they could have offered something for inconvenience of having two nights of uncomfortable sleep (ie partial room refund, free menu item etc). Also some of the dinner staff just stays on their phones constantly without paying attention and then reminding you after bad service that tips are not included, it comes off way too aggressive like your being coerced to tip for every little thing. Everything else was great!! The massage was amazing on the dock and the cleaning lady was such a sweet woman as well as concierge and many of the waiters.

We were moved to Nerea (Mereva's sister hotel) down the block before our arrival due to the abundance of seaweed in the water. It wasn't much better at Nerea but we still swam and took advantage of the outdoor lounges/hammocks. The best thing about our experience was the staff. They were all very kind and professional. If I recommended this hotel for anything, it would be the staff. Phillipe, the spa masseur, was also amazing. He gave my friend and I the best massages we've ever had. However, the hotel itself was limited. The dining options were very limited and it often ran out of food (fish for fish tacos, bread at breakfast, etc.) We booked Mereva due to the description of the restaurant and its menu and unfortunately didn't have an experience anywhere near what we were expecting. The hotel is pretty remote if you don't have a car, so the absence of food was pretty unfortunate. We ended up having to rent a car so we could head out of the area for dinner.

Tucked away on a beach between Playa del Carmen and Tulum - this is a lovely spot to get away. Very well staffed, nice restaurant and lovely setting on the beach. We went in the "off season" but still had a lovely time. The best times to go are Nov -April - if you go outside of this time the beaches may have seaweed instead of sand - this is very normal for ALL beaches in Yucatan Peninsula. The restaurant is perfectly lovely with excellent CHEFS - open for breakfast, lunch and dinner even LATE. Two pools, plenty of beach chairs and umbrellas as well as a pier to sit on all day if you like. I would stay again.

Did a lot of research before booking Mereva. For the price I couldn’t find another spot that was as nice. Everything about our stay was perfect, and I consider myself picky. We booked a king beachfront and originally I asked for ground level to walk our to the beach but we ended up with third floor and I’m very grateful we did. In the morning we woke up to the sun rising over the ocean and palm trees blowing in the wind. Our room was stocked with a mini nespresso, water, a few beer and pop every day. Our room was very well decorated, clean, the bed was extremely comfortable. The shower was so nice. Beachfront is a bit noisy because of the wind (if you don’t like wind don’t go to Mexico its always windy but it keeps the heat manageable). The property is extremely well kept. Beach is small but they all are now with the seaweed issue. Location is perfect if you want quiet, hotel zone is full of beach merchandisers, partying, this location is quiet private. Service is top notch. Id recommend the hotel transfer with Tucan Kin. If you’re looking for clear water and white sandy beaches Mexico is not your spot right now - seaweed is a serious issue there and this resort made a effort to clear it daily but it’s impossible. Id recommend checking out Nerea down the street for food so good and beautiful spot. Thats where I would book next time (adults only). Wish I could write more good things but out of space. @jennn.johnson on Insta if you have questions happy to answer.

Absolutely awful. I asked for a partial refund and was denied - so I'm leaving this review to warn others. I paid for THE nicest room (5 star hotel prices) and our room had mold, bugs, cracks in the wall and tattered towels. I wish they would have been kind and just given me a discount but perhaps this review will save someone else an awful stay. Go spend your hard earned dollars somewhere else.

Our stay at Mereva was amazing. Everything from check-in to check-out exceeded expectations. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and by the end of our trip, they felt like family. Our room was fantastic with perfect ocean view and very clean. Our fridge was stocked with water bottles every day which was super helpful in keeping us hydrated from our activities whether lounging in their two pools, to swimming in the ocean, to our excursions to the Tulum Ruins and Chichen Itza. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend Mereva as a must stay when visiting Tulum.

We loved our stay at Mereva Hotel. The staff was super friendly and treated us very well. The food at the hotel was amazing and they had plenty of complimentary activities as well.

The room was super clean when we arrived and the housekeeping team was top notch. The hotel itself is located in a prime spot not too far away from Tulums main attractions.

Staff was super helpful and nice. Food on the property was very tasty. The property had pretty good amenities too. It was nice that they had two sister properties nearby to explore. We had a few issues with our room (AC broke) but the service team was quick to respond. Biggest downside was the proximity to town and the beach zone. Taxis to these areas were expensive and something we didn’t expect.

At half the price I’d have no complaints but they charge for luxury and this isn’t that. Check-in was a mess. They billed us for a king and queen bed but the queen was a pullout on the floor that was right on the floor and, when open, takes up the whole room. The AC blows directly on that bed so sleepers on the floor are cold if the room is set cool enough for everyone else not to be hot. (Again, all of this would be ok at a Marriott.) The restaurant is expensive, especially the drinks but the service is a mess. Food arrives haphazardly and the first night my wife’s order simply didn’t show and our waiter disappeared for so long she just gave up. The next day for breakfast we were served stale bread/ pastries and lukewarm coffee. When I spoke to the manager he reluctantly agreed to wave our fee for dinner though upon checking out that charge was still on my bill. The area is remote (again, a bonus of the food is decent) so we didn’t have many options. The food was marginally better the rest of the week but service continued to be a problem (the next day at lunch the menu was not what was on the online menu so we all changed our orders last minute; the waiter carefully took everyone’s order but walked away without taking mine…). At dinner we tried room service and they were inexplicably out of pasta, the food arrive very late and our server left w/ a way for us to open our bottles. Again, all understandable if not at a very expensive rate.

My girlfriend (friend/colleague/travel buddy) and I stayed at Hotel Mereva during the off-season and absolutely loved it. The hospitality was next level—Erik and Dalia at the front desk were always kind, helpful, and made getting around super easy. The staff, including Felipe, Aaron, Luis, Santos, and Gabriel, were so genuine and warm—it felt like being among friends. The food was unreal. Shrimp tacos, forest pizza, and the heirloom tomato with burrata were top tier. Happy hour had the best 2-for-1 margaritas of the trip. We did the breakfast package too—great options and a perfect start to each day. The property itself is peaceful and beautifully maintained. Two pools, hammocks on the dock, ocean nets to lounge on, plus a plunge pool in our room. Everything worked well—AC, water, all of it. Housekeeping was thoughtful with creative towel animals left daily. We wished we had two more days just to slow down, explore the small nearby town, and take advantage of the kayaks, paddle boards, and bikes included in the stay. Taxis are pricey, but the collectivo bus is easy and cheap if you’re up for a little adventure. Even with off-season rain, it never took away from the experience. Highly recommend for anyone wanting great service, good food, and total relaxation.

Did a lot of research before booking Mereva. For the price I couldn’t find another spot that was as nice. Everything about our stay was perfect, and I consider myself picky. We booked a king beachfront and originally I asked for ground level to walk our to the beach but we ended up with third floor and I’m very grateful we did. In the morning we woke up to the sun rising over the ocean and palm trees blowing in the wind. Our room was stocked with a mini nespresso, water, a few beer and pop every day. Our room was very well decorated, clean, the bed was extremely comfortable. The shower was so nice. Beachfront is a bit noisy because of the wind (if you don’t like wind don’t go to Mexico its always windy but it keeps the heat manageable). The property is extremely well kept. Beach is small but they all are now with the seaweed issue. Location is perfect if you want quiet, hotel zone is full of beach merchandisers, partying, this location is quiet private. Service is top notch. Id recommend the hotel transfer with Tucan Kin. If you’re looking for clear water and white sandy beaches Mexico is not your spot right now - seaweed is a serious issue there and this resort made a effort to clear it daily but it’s impossible. Id recommend checking out Nerea down the street for food so good and beautiful spot. Thats where I would book next time (adults only). Wish I could write more good things but out of space. @jennn.johnson on Insta if you have questions happy to answer.

I was in Tulum alone for a few days as I needed to catch a later flight than my friends. This hotel was exactly what I was looking for. Clean and comfortable room that was pleasantly decorated and a great view of the sea. They even provide paddle boards and canoes. I felt very safe and the WiFi was great for me to get work done. The staff were so so wonderful. The only reason four and not five stars is because the food was just ok - definitely not bad. I did come during low season though.

The staff were all amazing and so friendly and helpful! They helped us book multiple outings, answered any questions we had and the food was phenomenal. It’s one minute walk from casa cenote which was incredible. Everything about this place was amazing except the hot water doesn’t work well. Otherwise our stay was a 10/10!

The Hotel is Lovely. Nice view, nice beach, the bedroom was comfortable with lovely views of the beachfront. The food was good, particularly the pizzas, the drinks however are expensive. We paid a premium for the hotel, I Imagine as it was close to New Years. Unfortunately the service on many occasions didn't match the premium paid. On two of our three days we had to ask for our rooms to be cleaned which should be a normal in a hotel. We were advised that the delay was due to a lack of staff. Service in the restaurant can be variable. Sometimes quick, and attentive but quite often it seems they are understaffed, a few times we had to remind them to bring our drinks we had ordered. On one occasion they had lost our order (we were the only ones sat in the restaurant at the time so not sure how this was possible.) On the last day we had an early check out as we needed to catch our flight. We were at breakfast for 7am (when it opens) with our transfer due at 7.30. The kitchen was shut and no staff were present, they eventually arrived at 7.20 and advised a breakfast wouldn't be possible. They did however prepared a breakfast croissant for us to take with us which was kind. Unfortunately the staff had duplicated a taxi booking, we had already booked a transfer through the hotel. This meant when the taxi arrived we naturally assumed it was our transfer, only 15 minutes into the journey were we called to be made aware that the transfer was at the hotel and that a taxi had been

Hotel Mereva was beyond amazing. Our room was steps from the sea and beach loungers. We had access to two amazing pools and a cenote across the street. Food and drinks were a 10 out of 10. The service and staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. King size comfy bed with cold AC. We can't wait to go back.

Absolutely awful. I asked for a partial refund and was denied - so I'm leaving this review to warn others. I paid for THE nicest room (5 star hotel prices) and our room had mold, bugs, cracks in the wall and tattered towels. I wish they would have been kind and just given me a discount but perhaps this review will save someone else an awful stay. Go spend your hard earned dollars somewhere else.

Totally unfriendly manager! They charged $USD600 extra more for our kids, compared with our friends who had even older kids, booked exactly the same room for exactly the same dates during the same week through Bookings.com rather than Expedia (it is pay at the hotel system and does not matter where you book). They refused to help at the hotel and the manager was extremely rude, not personal at all. Property had huge safety issues (slippery grounds and stairs when it rains, stairs not visible in the pool), and the manager acts like these issues do not exist despite serious accidents (that end up in hospitals) happening... There is street dog walking around who scratched my daughter's arm and the manager did not even visit us. There are big rocks in the very shallow ocean in front of the dock and there is even no warning on that. The manager only cares about how he can charge you more but nothing else including safety issues... The staff who were serving food in the mornings were nice but I felt so bad for them as they were only three people and working like crazy to serve everyone!

Beautiful secluded property with amazing food and amenities. Most of the staff was extremely kind and attentive. I have two downsizes however that stopped me from giving 5 stars. The power went in and out and we had no A/C 2 out of 3 nights stay and even though it wasn't the resorts fault I think they could have offered something for inconvenience of having two nights of uncomfortable sleep (ie partial room refund, free menu item etc). Also some of the dinner staff just stays on their phones constantly without paying attention and then reminding you after bad service that tips are not included, it comes off way too aggressive like your being coerced to tip for every little thing. Everything else was great!! The massage was amazing on the dock and the cleaning lady was such a sweet woman as well as concierge and many of the waiters.

Our stay at Mereva was amazing. Everything from check-in to check-out exceeded expectations. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and by the end of our trip, they felt like family. Our room was fantastic with perfect ocean view and very clean. Our fridge was stocked with water bottles every day which was super helpful in keeping us hydrated from our activities whether lounging in their two pools, to swimming in the ocean, to our excursions to the Tulum Ruins and Chichen Itza. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend Mereva as a must stay when visiting Tulum.

Tucked away on a beach between Playa del Carmen and Tulum - this is a lovely spot to get away. Very well staffed, nice restaurant and lovely setting on the beach. We went in the "off season" but still had a lovely time. The best times to go are Nov -April - if you go outside of this time the beaches may have seaweed instead of sand - this is very normal for ALL beaches in Yucatan Peninsula. The restaurant is perfectly lovely with excellent CHEFS - open for breakfast, lunch and dinner even LATE. Two pools, plenty of beach chairs and umbrellas as well as a pier to sit on all day if you like. I would stay again.

We love Mereva, this was our second stay here and it was just as special as the first. Tankah bay is so nice. Away from the hipster Cabo-vibes of loud beach area Tulum but also right on the beach in a quiet bay. Yet only about a 10 minute drive into Tulum (downtown) to get food, etc. We always rent a car. (Free and easy, shady parking too.) Mereva feels very safe which is nice. It’s gate and security guard protected as well as locked up every night. The service at Mereva is always wonderful. The food is good and the fact that they provide breakfast (a beautiful 3-course meal you get to choose from options) is such a great value! It’s enough food to eat all day and then only have to dine out once per day - that’s what my kids and I do. They are incredibly accommodating and also have a great supply of gear for rent (kayaks, snorkels, etc.) It’s so stunningly beautiful as well both inside the rooms and all the grounds. We love it here!

Location
Quiet, secluded bay with a cenote across the street and short drives to Tulum, ruins, and parks; many appreciate the peaceful setting. The unpaved access road and limited nearby options make taxis pricey and a car useful; seasonal seaweed can affect the beach.

My family just returned from a week-long vacation at the Mereva and it was absolutely fabulous. The staff were super friendly, attentive and incredibly helpful. The included breakfast was heavenly and generous — from the lattes to the fruit bowls to the myriad ways to order your eggs. The property itself offers a beautiful, secluded boutique resort experience — exactly we wanted. The beds were comfortable, the view from our room was spectacular. I can’t recommend this place enough. The restaurant at the Mereva’s sister property Alea might just be my new favorite place to eat in the world.

I can’t recommend this place enough. The restaurant at the Mereva’s sister property Alea might just be my new favorite place to eat in the world.

Clean property with good service. Pretty good view of the sea from the room. Access road is bad, beach had a lot of weed (with some smell) but i guess it is seasonal.

If you like quiet, this is the perfect place. Staff was amazing. Our room was always cleaned up. Our experience was the best, I can actually say I rested. Minutes away from cenotes Casa Tortuga the ruins and not to mention a Cenote literally in front of the hotel. Highly recommend.

The property is absolutely beautiful right on the beach where you can see beautiful blue waters. I must say the rooms are very comfortable, the bed and pillows were perfect. The food wasn’t the best and a bit overpriced for the portions, prices are higher than miami in the restaurant even the water is almost $10 dollars which is outrageous considering my husband and I travel a lot to other countries in the Caribbean. The customer service was great and the staff was super friendly and accommodating. The road to get to the hotel is full of holes which it can take up to 20 minutes from the highway to the hotel. Overall it was a nice and beautiful peaceful views.

I really enjoyed the entire property, beach view, common space is very beautiful. Exactly like the pictures. It was very quiet and the staff was super friendly. I will say that you need a taxi or car to get to most places and the taxis are expensive. But I felt better being driven then driving around in a car in a country I didn’t know and where parking was difficult to find. Plan your activities accordingly. Food was actually pretty good. I will be sure to visit again.

The hotel is nice and the staff too, but the street leading to the hotel is in terrible conditions. The street is full of potholes of all sizes and when it rains it becomes pure mud. I liked the hotel a lot but that street is something else.

The property is located outside the city center so you will always need a taxi or a rental vehicle. The street that leads from the main road to the hotel is unpaved. Otherwise, the property is lush and pretty, quiet and secure. The staff is friendly although a bit slow. The food is pretty good. I would highly advise against going in July. The mosquitos are a nightmare and so is the sargassum problem. This is out of the control of the hotel, so not using it for my rating. Only to advise future travelers.

Oppholdet vi hadde var fint, men det ligger utenfor allfarvei. Ønsker du helt ro og stillhet er det et perfekt hotell. Men, ønsker du litt mer liv og mennesker ligger dette hotellet helt galt til. Personalet er hyggelig og maten på restauranten var god. Fin liten strand rett ute for. Taxxi til byen eller fra byen er alt fra 250,- til 500,- pr vei.

At half the price I’d have no complaints but they charge for luxury and this isn’t that. Check-in was a mess. They billed us for a king and queen bed but the queen was a pullout on the floor that was right on the floor and, when open, takes up the whole room. The AC blows directly on that bed so sleepers on the floor are cold if the room is set cool enough for everyone else not to be hot. (Again, all of this would be ok at a Marriott.) The restaurant is expensive, especially the drinks but the service is a mess. Food arrives haphazardly and the first night my wife’s order simply didn’t show and our waiter disappeared for so long she just gave up. The next day for breakfast we were served stale bread/ pastries and lukewarm coffee. When I spoke to the manager he reluctantly agreed to wave our fee for dinner though upon checking out that charge was still on my bill. The area is remote (again, a bonus of the food is decent) so we didn’t have many options. The food was marginally better the rest of the week but service continued to be a problem (the next day at lunch the menu was not what was on the online menu so we all changed our orders last minute; the waiter carefully took everyone’s order but walked away without taking mine…). At dinner we tried room service and they were inexplicably out of pasta, the food arrive very late and our server left w/ a way for us to open our bottles. Again, all understandable if not at a very expensive rate.

I read through many of the very good reviews in general but that was not our experience. Family reunion booked 6-9 months ahead of time. A group of 13 probably dropping in excess of $12K over 5 nights. Its a beach hotel so unless you have a car its a challenge and a decent expense to go to the closest town of Tulum. No ATM although they will exchange at the front desk for an unfavorable rate. The dock that was on the beach had a very dangerous thin rope stretching across the two posts of a massage gazebo creating a risk of tripping and being injured. The entry stairs to the water had treacherous algae on the lower two steps and exposed metal from rotted wood.One of the two side rails was loose and not secure.One of the kayaks that was used took on water as the fiberglass was significantly cracked and the family members ended up swimming it back from the reef which was a considerable distance. I have never spent this much on a hotel room(one bed and a toilet that does not allow toilet paper to be flushed)...$600/nite including taxes. .The dirt oad that leads from the main highway is severely in need of repair due to local hydrology issues I was told. The section in front of the hotel is usually filled with puddles, some of large size so transit is not trivial. During our 5 night stay there were several food items that became unavailable for several reasons.So, bottom line its a mediocre to occasionally poor hotel with severely overpriced rooms between xmas and new years.

My girlfriend (friend/colleague/travel buddy) and I stayed at Hotel Mereva during the off-season and absolutely loved it. The hospitality was next level—Erik and Dalia at the front desk were always kind, helpful, and made getting around super easy. The staff, including Felipe, Aaron, Luis, Santos, and Gabriel, were so genuine and warm—it felt like being among friends. The food was unreal. Shrimp tacos, forest pizza, and the heirloom tomato with burrata were top tier. Happy hour had the best 2-for-1 margaritas of the trip. We did the breakfast package too—great options and a perfect start to each day. The property itself is peaceful and beautifully maintained. Two pools, hammocks on the dock, ocean nets to lounge on, plus a plunge pool in our room. Everything worked well—AC, water, all of it. Housekeeping was thoughtful with creative towel animals left daily. We wished we had two more days just to slow down, explore the small nearby town, and take advantage of the kayaks, paddle boards, and bikes included in the stay. Taxis are pricey, but the collectivo bus is easy and cheap if you’re up for a little adventure. Even with off-season rain, it never took away from the experience. Highly recommend for anyone wanting great service, good food, and total relaxation.

I was in Tulum alone for a few days as I needed to catch a later flight than my friends. This hotel was exactly what I was looking for. Clean and comfortable room that was pleasantly decorated and a great view of the sea. They even provide paddle boards and canoes. I felt very safe and the WiFi was great for me to get work done. The staff were so so wonderful. The only reason four and not five stars is because the food was just ok - definitely not bad. I did come during low season though.

The room was super clean when we arrived and the housekeeping team was top notch. The hotel itself is located in a prime spot not too far away from Tulums main attractions.

We were moved to Nerea (Mereva's sister hotel) down the block before our arrival due to the abundance of seaweed in the water. It wasn't much better at Nerea but we still swam and took advantage of the outdoor lounges/hammocks. The best thing about our experience was the staff. They were all very kind and professional. If I recommended this hotel for anything, it would be the staff. Phillipe, the spa masseur, was also amazing. He gave my friend and I the best massages we've ever had. However, the hotel itself was limited. The dining options were very limited and it often ran out of food (fish for fish tacos, bread at breakfast, etc.) We booked Mereva due to the description of the restaurant and its menu and unfortunately didn't have an experience anywhere near what we were expecting. The hotel is pretty remote if you don't have a car, so the absence of food was pretty unfortunate. We ended up having to rent a car so we could head out of the area for dinner.

Tucked away on a beach between Playa del Carmen and Tulum - this is a lovely spot to get away. Very well staffed, nice restaurant and lovely setting on the beach. We went in the "off season" but still had a lovely time. The best times to go are Nov -April - if you go outside of this time the beaches may have seaweed instead of sand - this is very normal for ALL beaches in Yucatan Peninsula. The restaurant is perfectly lovely with excellent CHEFS - open for breakfast, lunch and dinner even LATE. Two pools, plenty of beach chairs and umbrellas as well as a pier to sit on all day if you like. I would stay again.

The Mereva was closed and had to change to the Nerea Hotel. It was much nicer because it was actually open. I had rented a room for 6 nights for two adults and one child and the rooms were all for couples only. They added a sofa bed, and it worked but no privacy. The restaurant was not fully stocked, the workers tried their best with what they have, but it’s not fare for them and the customers. Extremely expensive food, and location not easily accessible if you don’t have a car good luck. The workers at the Nerea try the best to provide you with a good experience but with out the right tools it fails.

We paid extra to have a private pool, but the water looked dirty so we didn't get in. Also we couldn't get in the beach how how bad the sea wheed was. The smell was unbearable and they wouldn't clean it. It really was a waste of money. Food and drinks in yhe restaurants SUPER EXPENSIVE and not worth it. Transportation extremely expensive, the wanted to charge us 1000 pesos each time we tried to go out to yhe city. Will NEVER go back to Tulum
