This was a lovely hotel on the beach, but there were a couple things visitors should be aware of (which are not necessarily drawbacks, but might affect some people's enjoyment). First, the beach closed at around 7p in July because sea turtles come up onto the beach to lay their eggs. That seemed to be the case for the whole beach, not just this hotel though. Second, the bar closed at 8:30p, so if you want to get drinks after that you'll need to go elsewhere in Tulum. Third, it's an eco retreat, which means no AC. In July that meant it was not very comfortable for sleeping. While they have screened windows and doors, you can't lock those, so you feel a little like someone could walk into your room at any moment while you're sleeping. It still felt safe (there's security at the entrance), just a little uncomfortable. The screens were also ripped in a lot of places, which meant that some bugs could still get in (we had a lizard of some kind in our room when we arrived). Fourth, again, it's an eco resort, so don't expect it to be super cushy. The water pressure in the shower was pretty low, and you can't use high voltage appliances like hair dryers. There's also wifi, but it's spotty, so the signal strength really depends on which room you're staying in.
