Playa Paraiso

Hotel was clean and well maintained. Service was great from housekeeping to waitstaff. The front desk wasn’t the best at check out but overall great service Our room was comfortable, clean with a stunning ocean view The only negative was the quality and value of the food and drinks. We had breakfast, lunch and ordered food at the beach. The quality was middle of the road but at Miami prices. We ended paying $125 for lunch for the two of us and a drink at the beach is $17-18 for unremarkable, water down cocktails. I can go to Miami for those prices and get better quality It had been 2 years since our last visit to Tulum. I will look for other places in the future. Prices have risen to Miami levels but you still have to endure some of the negatives like lack of street sidewalks, chaotic and extremely congested traffic, poor street lighting, risk of food poisoning, and a hint of insecurity. (We saw a group of fully geared Marine squad including their M16, patrolling the beach. I thought I was in an episode of Seals) Overall we had a good but not excellent experience that would make me want to go back

Food could’ve been way better

Great staff -- courteous, kind and attentive; very thoughtful with extra touches like birthday celebrations, towels, drinks and sunblock; shoutout to Andres and also the staff at Kengai and Arborlea for exceptional service.
