เมเรวา ตูลุม

We paid extra to have a private pool, but the water looked dirty so we didn't get in. Also we couldn't get in the beach how how bad the sea wheed was. The smell was unbearable and they wouldn't clean it. It really was a waste of money. Food and drinks in yhe restaurants SUPER EXPENSIVE and not worth it. Transportation extremely expensive, the wanted to charge us 1000 pesos each time we tried to go out to yhe city. Will NEVER go back to Tulum

Beach front property has great views. Service at Mereva was excellent, from Lalo at the front, to the restaurant’s food, the drinks, servers, and local spa service. On a day without smelly sargassum, the pier massage was so nice. They treated us well and we almost wanted to stay longer. I recommend swimming in the pools or at the cenote across the road. There’s a crocodile resident; everyone assures he has never attacked humans and only eats birds. His name is Panchito, I didn’t see him. The water is clear, and you can bring or rent snorkel gear. Many scuba here as well, tiny fish. If Panchito is a deal breaker, the region has thousands of other sacred cenotes for swimming. Have a car, transport is exp. Tulum’s coast is being affected by sargassum. The staff seemed overwhelmed by it as the manual clean up crew made a tiny dent each morning. I wish the rooms were more sound proof. We only had hot water one day. Also, the pier and beach area didn’t feel private. We couldn’t relax or keep our eyes closed with random non hotel guests coming and going through the small pier, past the hotel beach, and past our room’s sliding door. Unfriendly foreigners come and went every day for scuba tours. The hammocks: 1 per room patio. Those shown on the beach weren’t there. Several at the pier were cool, but a female French instructor likes changing out of scuba gear there and seems more annoyed with us in her way there than concerned about hitting me while trying to relax.

The breakfast was excellent, pool was great, staff helpful, unfortunately in the 3 days we where there no effort at all to remove any seaweed from the beach and the smell was bad, would have stayed in town and commuted to a public beach

Beautiful location and very pleasant staff. Unfortunately our room did not have air conditioning - and they would fix it and fill it up with coolant, and then it would leak and then by the middle of the night it was a torture chamber of heat and humidity (78 degrees f). There is no where else to cool off in the hotel - everything is open air and honestly the pools were filthy like someone else said in the reviews. Outside there are nosee’ems. When we finally had enough at 3am on the 4th night, they did put us in another room for a few hours after Google Translate, staff visits/photos and chats with the manager. So we only had 2 hours in a cool room before our excursion for the day and very little sleep. I had to insist on moving rooms before leaving on our excursion, which was added stress. They did move us to the Nerea which was a much nicer hotel and better cared for by far. However the new room had no tv, the futon was a bit banged up, and a broken window looking into the construction. At this point we did not complain. They offered us dinner to make up for this but when inquiring on it before our last evening there, they weren’t aware of it but were willing to uphold it. The most upsetting part was realizing the ac issue and room flooding, wasn’t new. They just tried to pass this crappy and unworkable room onto us. My friends staying (from our recommendation) in the same hotel, room below and said there was water damage and signs of mold on the same wall.

Zunächst wurden wir überrascht, als es hieß, wir dürfen nur eine Speise pro Gast als Frühstück bestellen - kostenlos war nur der Americano Kaffee. Gebucht hatten wir aber inklusive „reichhaltigem Frühstück“. - by the way das Frühstück ist ein Witz.wer denkt dadurch das Mittag skippen und abends nur ein Dinner zu nehmen, irrt. Das Zimmer war OKAY, leider nicht so entsprechend wie auf den Bildern. Die Klimaanlage war auf 16 grad und das Zimmer wurde nicht kalt, sie tropfte zusätzlich extrem, sodass der gesamte Fliesen Boden nass war. Die Handtücher waren zum Teil dreckig, ebenso wie die Schlaf Decke. Wir haben insgesamt 3 mal an der Rezeption Bescheid gegeben, dass der Klodeckel defekt ist, was bis zur unserer Abreise nicht behoben wurde. Das Shampoo im Badezimmer wurde nicht aufgefüllt, sodass wir das auch erfragen mussten. Der Safe war als wir angekommen sind noch nicht entsperrt und von den Vorgängern blockiert. Auch hier haben wir 2x nachgefragt, ob das behoben werden kann. Auch hier ist wieder nichts passiert - somit konnten wir den ganzen Aufenthalt nicht den Safe verwenden. Als wir dann auschecken wollten, haben wir gefragt, ob uns jemand aus dem 2. Stock (Treppen) bei den Koffern helfen könnte. Es wurde mit „Ja“ bestätigt. Da nach 15min nichts passierte, habe ich freundlich an der Rezeption bei dem gleichen Mitarbeiter nachgefragt und bekam nur ein „ i don’t know „ daraf hin lies ich mir die Zimmerkarte erneut geben und habe sie alleine geholt.

The location of the hotel is fantastic. Staff were all helpful and pleasant. The hotel is quiet and peaceful. Our room could have used some basic maintenance- there were small holes in the wall and mold. Each time our room was tended to something was left behind (I.e., cleaning supplies in shower, dust rag on our dresser, bedding on chair). Would we stay agai

The rooftop patio room we got was amazing, eating breakfast up there every day watching the sunrise over the ocean was the best I’ve had out of anywhere I’ve gone down south. And then me and my girlfriend would set up an iPad to watch Netflix on the rooftop while we drink wine and ate cheese watching the sun go down over the ocean. Five stars on that experience

This hotel was a beautiful, quiet oasis. The staff was wonderful, our bed was super comfortable and it felt more like a private condo than a hotel. If the big, all-inclusive hotels are too touristy for you, this could be a great choice. We felt very safe here, the hotel is on a private road with a guard shack so limited traffic and easy to walk along daily. There's a beautiful cenote just a few minutes walk away. Keep in mind, being outside the main hotel zone food options are limited to a few hotels unless you have a car to drive into town or to the hotel zone - so we recommend renting a car or scooter. We would also highly recommend finding the Mexican cooking from scratch class in a private Tulum home - it was a great experience.

The rooms were very spacious and comfortable- it was tough at times to contact the resort via hotels.com, so when I switched to direct communication it was better. The restaurant was good, and the spa was on their nearby sister property that was amazing. It would have been nice to get details on the neighborhood Cenote before visiting to be prepared.

Péssimo atendimento, má vontade dos funcionários. Toalhas e lençóis sujos. Melhorou o atendimento depois de inúmeras propinas.

The private beach and dock with hammocks were heavenly. Entire hotel was beautifully decorated in modern, neutral tones. Our room had the most incredible view of the beach.

The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The setting is lovely.

Some of the staff was nice to us but We didn’t get to swim as the beach was rocky and it was windy. The hotel shouldn’t be advertised as boutique luxury- they tried but it’s moldy, dirty and half of the time we didn’t get our room cleaned or had to ask to towels if we were gone the whole day- nobody would come in. They are low on staff- there were days when no chef at the restaurant and no food items available. The area outside is dirty and unpaved. If we had to go anywhere it cost us $35 one way. It is a rip off on all levels. We went to Nerea the beinorinv property to have lunches and hang out at their pools as our pool was super dirty- god knows when was the last time they cleaned it.

The setting is beautiful but everything else felt a bit run down and a bit stingy. I think expectations re showers should be managed upfront. In some rooms the water is tepid, in others it’s cold.

They did not want toilet paper to be flushed. The mini fridge was tiny and did not work. The pools were too dirty to use. The restaurant was adequate and catered mostly to non local dishes. On the other hand the staff were very nice and the beach view was beautiful.

Perfect location, gracious staff.

Absolutely awful. I asked for a partial refund and was denied - so I'm leaving this review to warn others. I paid for THE nicest room (5 star hotel prices) and our room had mold, bugs, cracks in the wall and tattered towels. I wish they would have been kind and just given me a discount but perhaps this review will save someone else an awful stay. Go spend your hard earned dollars somewhere else.

The room was extremely clean and the staff (especially Havier at the front desk) were very kind and accommodating. Very nice property.

We were moved to Nerea (Mereva's sister hotel) down the block before our arrival due to the abundance of seaweed in the water. It wasn't much better at Nerea but we still swam and took advantage of the outdoor lounges/hammocks. The best thing about our experience was the staff. They were all very kind and professional. If I recommended this hotel for anything, it would be the staff. Phillipe, the spa masseur, was also amazing. He gave my friend and I the best massages we've ever had. However, the hotel itself was limited. The dining options were very limited and it often ran out of food (fish for fish tacos, bread at breakfast, etc.) We booked Mereva due to the description of the restaurant and its menu and unfortunately didn't have an experience anywhere near what we were expecting. The hotel is pretty remote if you don't have a car, so the absence of food was pretty unfortunate. We ended up having to rent a car so we could head out of the area for dinner.

The Mereva was closed and had to change to the Nerea Hotel. It was much nicer because it was actually open. I had rented a room for 6 nights for two adults and one child and the rooms were all for couples only. They added a sofa bed, and it worked but no privacy. The restaurant was not fully stocked, the workers tried their best with what they have, but it’s not fare for them and the customers. Extremely expensive food, and location not easily accessible if you don’t have a car good luck. The workers at the Nerea try the best to provide you with a good experience but with out the right tools it fails.
