El mesero Cayetano estuvo excelente nos atendió Perfecto, muy amable y muy conocedor del área del hotel y de cómo disfrutar mejor nuestra experiencia estuvimos encantados con el. Hubo un tema con el desayuno y lo resolvió rápido y de muy buena forma. Los precios son un poco altos pero la promoción de las margaritas fue muy buena! El Hotel es LINDO la cama muy cómoda, el servicio de café en la mañana excelente, es cozy y muy bien cuidado los detalles. En general muy bien todo definitivamente volveríamos. =)

This a very unique property. It started out with wrong room but was fixed. I had paid for an ocean view. Rooms were very nice, both rooms. Shampoo/conditioner and body wash in bathrooms. No TVs. I went for major R and R and thats what i got. Loved Olivias and Agave restaurants. There is a nice restaurant across the street also. It feels like your staying in the jungle. I would stay again. I really loved coffee delivery to room every morning, i wish they offered Tea with that delivery. I did not try pool as water was briskly cold. Ocean was fantastic.

We stayed at Hotel Azul because in our previous trip (3 years ago) to Tulum we were staying at a different property but in our wondering around we stumbled into Azul I believe because they coffee or a bakery. They were very inviting and we ended up having drinks at the pool with great service. The property is still nice unfortunately service is very lacking. There are two restaurants on prop and both are owned by someone other than the hotel. This causes some oddities and complete lack of service. We tried the in room breakfast twice both times it was terrible but what was worse as this restaurant is not part of the hotel really the cleaning staff would not remove the old food or plates. Even if you put them outside your door they would be there until a animal took the food then the dishes would just sit. The service at the beach is done by the other restaurant and as long as someone is there its pretty good but quite often you have to go looking for someone. Car or scooter parking is about 2 US blocks away and do to the location to get to most of the services in the area you will need one. It was a lot of little things like chairs with the bottoms broken out of them by the pool or no one lighting the candle votives that guide you up the steps to your room most nights. Then the service issues that made this vacation less than what we hoped for as the staff 3 years ago was on point. I hope they figure it out as its a cool hotel overall.

Need to work on getting a bigger sign or visible that shows the hotel name. I passed it twice because theirs a big palm tree covering the hotel name. And if you have a rental. You have to park 2 buildings down from the hotel. Also, they keep the gate locked so not very convenient in getting in and out. Other than that this place has good food, and the room was nice with good service. Also theirs a restaurant across the street for dinner options.

My husband & I had an extremely wonderful stay at the Hotelito Azul. Our accommodations were nice, clean & comfy. The entire staff was very gracious, attentive & kind. Mariano was the most wonderful host to us. Griselda did a great job taking care of our room & she was lovely to us. The grounds are very well maintained & so inviting. Overall we really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful environment.

Wonderful, but food prices may not fit all budgets

I stayed at Hotelito Azul with my wife and 2-year-old son in Jan 2025. Our stay was wonderful. Once you get in you feel you’re really in a tropical dream world. The vibe is very chill and relaxing from the moment you’re in the reception area. The grounds are gorgeous and you always feel you’re in a jungle wherever you’re going (from the reception area to the room, pool, beach, etc). The room decoration is in a sophisticated rustic style without compromising comfort. The 2 pools and the 2 jacuzzis are located on the rooftop, which offer a fantastic 360 view of the ocean at the front and the jungle in the back. The staff is friendly and very professional offering an efficient service. GRISELDA, the lady who would clean our room was very friendly and make a different surprise to our son everyday (she would fold the towels in different shapes such as a dog or a dino, which our son loved). We had only an issue that was quickly resolved: there was a bit loud music on the rooftop and the baby couldn’t fall asleep, but once I asked the staff they turned down the volume. After that, I could only hear the sea waves and the wind on the palm trees. The hotel grounds leads directly on to the beach which is gorgeous with white sand and warm blue water. They have two restaurants (Olivia and Agave) with great food. One should only be aware of the prices that are on par with what you pay in an expensive city like NYC. Also, breakfast is not included.

First off, the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a huge sniff of moldiness. Thats when i knew this isnt gna be good. They charge you for everything. The moment you arrive to check-in, you are charged a ‘service charge’ and a deposit hold. If they have my cc on file, why do they charge for deposit? Didnt make sense. Honestly, the place itself and the rooms felt dingy. I understand its the ‘jungleish vibe, and very hippyish’ but as far as sanitation -wise , didnt meet standards. Everything on this hotel is purely for aesthetic and all the amenities have no purpose. Its like the teemu version of a hotel that has potential with the right management/ownership who is willing to focus what people will pay for. Instead, this almost feels like a bait and switch. They bait you with aesthetic decor and picture by social media influencers but the quality falls significantly short. Please book elsewhere where you the price you’re paying for is what its worth. I dont mind paying $ for value but unfortunately this place is not a hit. All the staff on the property were super friendly and nice. The person who checked us in Marciano was friendly and accessible. During checkout, i guess the room i was staying in was missing a water bottle that was suppose to be in the room. They asked me about a glass water bottle … instead maybe offer a bottle of water to your guests as accommodation? Its hot as hell in the lobby and it smells moldy. Rubbed customer the wrong way.
