Overall Ratings & Reviews Kore Tulum Retreat and Spa Resort - Adults Only

It’s less people so enjoy the quiet. You will have the pool to yourself and the restaurants too. That comes with its own issues, less variety in some instances. But the bigger pla

This place was cool 15 years ago, and hasn’t been updated. Our room seemed like it was falling apart, cracked walls, stained sheets and robes. Food was overly processed, drinks were bottom shelf. The pictures made it seem way cooler than it was. The bikes were rusted and falling apart, totally unsafe to ride.

Everything was amazing but the food

The KORE Tulum property is not as advertised. A list of things that my travel companion and I were heavily displeased with: 1. I was unable to get in contact with either the resort or Expedia when trying to see about the possibility of a shuttle from Tulum airport, or to attempt to book spa treatments or excursions early. Nobody picked up phones and nobody responded to emails either. This forced me to rent a car for the duration of our stay. 2. There is no SPA. Yet, the spa is advertised on the Kore Tulum website. One of the days we were there a woman was offering massages on a chair outside of the spa building which seemed to be condemned. 3. The website advertised 2-3 restaurants, there was only one available. That should be mentioned at booking. 4. There was a swim up bar but we only saw a bartender at the swim up bar ONE time in 5 days. 5. We walked around the resort grounds - KORE seems to be a resort that was nice once, and then something happened - what that something is, we could not tell. 6. The resort is adjacent to the entrance for a national park. During the day the military closes the direct entrance to the hotel and forces all vehicles to use the national park entrance. On two occasions we were told we had to pay the park entrance fee in order to get to our hotel each time. We complained to the staff at KORE, they came out and assisted then the next time KORE gave us a brown band to deal with that issue. Something must be done to offset our experience.

So I enjoyed our stay with kore everyone was very nice to us helped us with everything we needed. The staff was really friendly I walked into the kitchen at close and was going to get food somewhere else but they sat me and my fiancée down and made us a Togo dinner and don’t be afraid of renting a scooter and exploring tulum it’s very safe just be respectful

Well maintained property surrounded with beautiful natural environment

Only one dinning option, the staff is nice but not helpful (our phone didn’t work and nobody ever came to fix it) there are worn down areas, but it was very quiet and we did love that

The staff was helpful, but we didn’t appreciate the dinner staff directly asking for a tip - it felt unprofessional and made us uncomfortable. The property clearly had a lot of money put into it initially, but unfortunately, maintenance seems almost non-existent or at best, minimal. Every treadmill in the gym is broken, and some other machines barely function—again, a clear lack of upkeep. All four outdoor jacuzzis were lukewarm at best, not properly heated. The room itself was spacious and nice, but we noticed maintenance issues like burnt-out bulbs, a dripping shower, and a loose faucet barely hanging on - again, no maintenance. Lastly, while the property is right in front of the beach, there’s no direct beach access as it sits on a rocky shoreline.

Gym equipment all broken

I tried to enjoy this property to the best of my abilities. The villias with the jacuzzi tubs should not be advertised as the water trinkles out. It would take the entire day if not more to fill up. There is limited food options.

Would not recommend this property or trusting expedia in their listings. The property was supposed to have two restaurants. There was only one and the food was a) nothing like as pictured and b) with an extremely limited selection. There was supposed to be a spa. This was closed during my entire stay without a warning or discount. My room was fine but over the windows there were giant duct tape X's so that there couldn't be an unobstructed view. Staff often took a long time to respond to requests, even once I asked them to fill the tub and several hours passed without someone coming even after a reminder. The room service closes without warning. You pay a fee when you arrive to enter the national park which the hotel borders on, and then you have to pay again to actually enter the park as the hotel doesn't have an agreement with them? The plastic cups were cheap, nothing was really as pictured, and expedia has offered no compensation for this completely misadvertised listing, saying "the property has to approve the refund and they do not", even though the property told me in person that they would. Go somewhere else in Tulum. At the very least somewhere with beach access so you can escape your accommodation if you run into the same misfortune.

A quiet resort , needs some tlc to give it life again, Good location

Property is in need of some TLC. The place is rundown and sad looking.

Disgusting hotel. I left after 1 night (was supposed to have 6 in total). I was having no water in the room. As a policy they shut it down between midnight to 6am every night. I was promised a refund but the hotel manager is not responding to Expedia and not answering the phone nor messages Stay away this place is a pure scam!!!!!!

We left after our first night there. Couldn’t get our money back for the remainder of our stay.

If I could give 0 stars I would. No water between midnight to 6am. As a matter of policy, they simply turn it off. Described to me as a “little inconvenience” by the lady in the reception, who confirmed it’s every night like this. We booked 6 nights with this hotel and left after the first night. The morning after upon checking out I demanded to get a refund for the rest of the nights I was told By another receptionist that it’s just a one time thing, Don’t believe them if they tell you that it’s an issue that resolved, it’s not. I mean at least be honest with me and don’t lie! When I requested the refund they said I need to contact the agent I booked from - which was Expedia, which I did. They claim that the booking was done through “Hotel beds”, website I never heard of and claim they didn’t get any message from Expedia about my refund, thought I have chat screenshots and records of all communications with Expedia and with the hotel. Doesn’t look at all like the photos, very dirty and disappointing. Please, do yourself a favor, stay away!!!!!

The property needs a TOTAL renovation. It was dirty, with walls full of crack. Not happy at all and won’t come back again!

ood morning Fenriquez We checked into Kore Tulum on Friday Jan. 3, 2025, during the check in process we were informed about the policy of lost keys and lost bracelets. However we were not informed about the water being turned off at certain time of the night. We left our room around 9pm and returned to the hotel with no running water, which is totally unacceptable. The hot tub was dirty and prior to leaving the hotel the water in the hot tub the water pressure was very low. Are returning to our room after a long night on vacation we were hit very a very uncomfortable unpleasant situation to not being able to take a shower. The front staff members inconveniently offered us to walk to another building in the late night to take a shower for 10 different people. This is not how I expected my vacation to be. This morning we asked to be changed to another building and room because the staff informed us that water will be shut off every night from 12am to 5am. Also the water temperature was cold this morning once the water was turned back on. We are requesting to be moved into new rooms where the water is not being shut off! The staff Sebastian stated the water is only turn off in building 1 and 2! This is not fair that we pay our money to stay and can’t enjoy and nice how shower once we come in from our night out. The shower towels were dirty the sheets! This was the worst hotel i have ever stayed in.

This is the worst property ever save yourself and do not stay here there was no running water st night jacuzzi didn’t work and that was an upgrade. There was no help from Expedia or staff regarding this matter we had to be back before 11 to shower we were offered another room not to switch but to shower in .

I would like to request a full Refund just for my Stay I had the absolute most horrendous experience in my entire life at the resort we stayed in. Upon arrival they informed us about the room key and wrist band me and party went out to eat came back to the ac not working and no running water when we told the staff they said there was nothing they can do about it we had to go to another room to shower which was about a 5 min walk outside in the dark the next morning we were told the water would be back on and wasn’t the water pressure was really low an there was no hot water please do something about this manner I spoke with the resort ppl an informed them that I would be requesting a full refund and they said to go through the booking agency also the restaurant we ate at the menu was out of everything the whole experience was horrible and a waste of time in a beautiful country
