We came to Tulum after a hectic music festival to get ourselves back together. We had booked into another Tulum hotel that had come highly recommended however it didn't feel quite right. We were happy enough as we had the most beautiful beach with the whitest sand; what can only be described as the most see through sea ever and... More

Missing the Ahau family already! We spent 10 amazing days in this peacefully energized beach strip, happily shoeless and soulful. The staff is truly friendly and attentive, and we felt really cared for. The food delighted my tastebuds day after day! We stayed in a charming Bali Hut, small (basically a good bed, a few hangers and direct access to... More

I can't quite find the right way to describe just how perfect this place is... i'll see what i can do... On arriving, the amazingly friendly staff greeted me with enthusiasm, professionalism, and courtesy. I was left to wonder around and get my bearings after a 13 hour journey from London, and checked in at my convenience - was offered... More

Ahau is incredible! Great location, excellent service and staff, wonderful food, and the location on the beach is great. We stayed in the Jr Suite, which had a very comfortable bed, a view of the beach, and a great ocean breeze to keep us nice and cool. Note: if you can splurge, even for a night or two, try to... More

The food is excellent and the owners and staff were all very friendly, discreet and yet available to help at all times. We had a lot of fun and a lot of... More

See the sunrise from your king size bed / cabana on the beach. Eco-friendly, impeccable design, trendy, laid back and a well-traveled / friendly social scene. Service is personalized and along with management, will satisfy your all of your needs without trashing the pristine environnent in which they live and offer us. One of the best location on Tulum beaches...... More

Tulum Mexico at it's finest! Just returned from a 4 day trip to AHAU where they make it impossible to not enjoy your time there. The staff is beyond friendly and accomodating to all of your needs. The rooms are extremely comfortable and very large. We stayed in one of the suites , # 4, and it is situated close... More

After reading all of the rave reviews on tripadvisor about Ahau, I registered for two nights in a upper-level bungalow, site unseen. Pros: Price, nice beach, good coffee, great front desk staff, bed was decently comfortable, although small (but on the website they said it was a double bed, so this was not a surprise) Cons: Everything else. The room... More
