I found Playa Esperanza by accident and felt like I hit the jack pot. It was not on the list of hotels provided by my friend getting married in Tulum, but lucked out to have found this place versus staying at one of the more crowded places in "town". It's beautifully done with many great little artistic details scattered around... More

We just spent three of the best days with friends at this fabulous location! The staff Jenny, Julia, and Tom couldn't do enough for us including lighting tiki torches around the entire property as the sun went down! We had the Elo Suites which were joined and literally 20 steps to the turquoise waters of one of the most beautiful... More

Ignore the negative reviews! This place is perfect - very simple, rustic cabanas on the beach. If you are looking for a luxury 5* resort with a penthouse suite then this is not the place. The beach is the most beautiful beach I have ever seen and totally peaceful and quiet. There are a few kite surfers now and then... More

We arrived at Playa Esperanza in the afternoon. We were warmly greeted by the owner with complimentary cocktails and appetizers in their new restaurant, which is adorable and yummy by the way! Our room was amazing and we could not believe how beautiful this place was!!!! We could seriously see the ocean from our pillows. No matter where you are... More

We had booked the room Celia Cruez for one week, since the price were low we were aware of that it would be simple. When we first came we thought the hotel had very nice interior and the room looked okey at first, but we had not expected to have a kitecompany with a lot of people hanging around just... More

Was sold on the website photos and promises of a tranquil, reasonably priced, beach-side vacation spot. We're not fussy travelers, but wanted a comfortable quiet place to have a few days to unwind after a busy year. Limited electricity? OK, fine. Mosquitos? Sure. No hot water? Eh... not exactly what the website promised, but after a couple days, we got... More

I had a couple of friends recommend I join them here and I was not disappointed! I arrived by taxi. It is a little hard to find and get in as the entrance is usually closed. We got someone's attention and they carried my bags through the beach path to what I can only describe as paradise! It's literally on... More

Problem areas: 1. The palapa had serious leaks on the deck and in the bathroom. You cannot sit on the deck during any rainfall without getting soaking wet because of the leaking palapa. 2. The bathroom flooded during a moderate rain with over an inch of water covering the floor. Oddly enough, the manager is aware that this is a... More

I stayed for 7 nights and the place was great, clean and cozy, my room was located right infront of the ocean, beautiful view of the sunrise and ocean breeze. The shared bathroom was always clean and the kitchen too. Great place to relax and disconnect from the city. Everyone at the hotel was really friendly and helpful with everything.

This is I must say, the best place to be on earth. It's simply a paradise! We rented two condos on the beach, the Elo suits. The rooms were beautiful. The surroundings will immediately drag you away from your everyday life and put you on a cloud. Jenny and Johann who run the business are great people and helped me... More
