Eco-friendly not ideal for beach front

Directly on the beach. Walk from the sand right into your room. Although cute setup, the sand makes for messy floors. It rained the night we stayed so not the most ideal conditions. Rooms are spacious aong with bathroom. There is only 1-2 staff available at any given time. Being eco-friendly, the AC is only on from 8pm-7am nightly. The sargazo/seaweed was very bad during our stay and the town or hotels so not clean their part of the beach so we couldn't get any use of beachfront access. Beach bar area and seating was not open as the weather did not cooperate. The road along the hotel was relatively private. On the other hand the breakfast was included and good portion and individually made. Area food trucks and restaurants are nice but expensive.

Y’all the staff was so nice. I LOVED this property. The beach is directly behind the hotel. The only downfall is because this is an eco hotel, the air only works during certain times. But it was worth the stay and price!

We had a wonderful stay with Playa Canek! The staff is incredibly kind and helpful, and you cannot beat walking from your room to a perfect beach with soft sand and crystal clear water. Our AC didn’t work one the nights we were there, and we couldn’t adjust the temperature during our stay when it was on, but this was pretty minor and otherwise we had a really wonderful time. Would stay here again!

Absolutely perfect for a no-frills beach trip. The staff was phenomenal, friendly, and helpful. Service was great and the staff also was great at sharing local info and recommendations. Couldn’t be easier to walk out of your hotel room and onto the beach with a full bar and cozy beach beds. Gave four stars on facilities only because the AC was down one night because of a power outage so that was a hot night, but was there for 5 nights total with no issues.

We really enjoyed the simple elegance of the property. The penthouse suite was reasonably priced relatively speaking, had amazing views and was ad advertised w/ plenty of space. The location was also A for enjoying the Tulum beach hotel / restaurant zone within walking distance. Staff was friendly and helpful, A/C at night was just what you needed for a good rest, and breakfast while small hit the spot daily to start the day off with a snack.

The staff was absolutely amazing! We really enjoyed our stay here. Super affordable and the place is stunning! The free breakfast was amazing and the massages we got were incredible! The only downside we had staying here was that there’s extremely limited parking (6 spots) and if there’s no room for you, you have to park across the street for $18 a night. Also, the pool pictured online, is a private pool not accessible to guests.

Simple barefoot paradise

I wanted a true room on the beach mixed in with the jungle and this hotel delivered in full! Just. Wonderful. After staying in Cancun I craved the completely opposite experience. The hotel almost melted in to the beach and i slept with the door open to hear the surf which was literally only 50 feet away. I loved it!

We loved our stay, food is amazing and far cheaper than places right off the street. Every single person there was helpful, from the bartender to the office receptionist waly. They literally remembered our names and orders… amazing stay. Oh and the two masseuse ladies WOW. BUT, be mindful that even though it’s pricy, restrooms are ZERO soundproof, very low water pressure, no dryer is provided, and they are super limited with their towels.

Great stay! Amazing view! Would be great to have a kettle and hair dryer and small fridge. Or at least have option to borrow some from front desk for use during our stay. Also boogie boards to borrow would be great as well. And more hooks in bathroom for towels. This was our second stay here and would definitely come back again. Great staff and thanks to Fernando at the bar and Jessie our cleaning person!
