Villa Las Estrellas Tulum - Located at the Party Zone

Grubby hotel in a gorgeous location Pros: - the staff is friendly and helpful - the location is amazing. Right on the beach and close to great restaurants. - the view was the upper rooms is breathtaking - the bed was comfy - if you keep your expectations really low in terms of any type of "luxury" or just decent hotel practices (like changing dirty towels) then the location might be worth it for you. Cons: Oh boy... - Overall the hotel is in rough shape. - the rooms need some serious TLC. So much rust and broken things. They feel like barely improved shacks: the doors don't properly close, the curtain rail was on its last leg, the electrical work is scary AF, etc. - the room felt dirty when I got there. I felt like I needed to wipe the toilet etc. - the towels didn't smell or look clean - the pillows smelled musty - the water went out twice while I was shower. Luckily I only had to wait a couple minutes for the water to come back. - the pool looked dirty and unmaintained. I wouldn't want to swim in it. If it was branded (and priced) as a "nice" hostel, this would be more expected but overall this hotel is WAY too expensive for what it is and how grubby it is.

Kind and helpful staff, free upgrade to accommodate my child. Thank you!

It was absolutely fantastic from the customer service to the convenience of the surroundings. Beach access made it an ideal location for travellers. Would most definitely rebook in the future. Augusto at the front desk was so helpful and easy to communicate with. Thank you !

Amazing views rustic feel Amazing breeze Great staff

do it if on a budget this place is wonderful. Less expensive than others in the same area. Great location although all the food around it is overpriced except for the café across the street which I wish I'd learned about earlier. Overall, the host hotel staff were extremely helpful and wonderful people. Our towels and sheets all had stains on them however, since we weren't staying many days, we just let it go. suggested. Request a place with the balcony facing the beach. It was an amazing experience and a beautiful location. Thank you to all of the staff.

I should have read the other reviews... the loud party scene was oppressive and nearly non-stop from noon 'till after midnight. After two nights, we couldn't take it anymore and departed earlier than planned. The first room we stayed in, did not have a lock on the sliding door to the beach, and we did not feel safe leaving our valuables in the room. When we shared the issue with the Frontdesk manager, he said there was nothing to be done, because there was no maintenance person working that day... again, should have read the reviews, as there are other reviews about, what I'm guessing, is the same issue with the same door... still hasn't been fixed. The next day they moved us to a room on the 2nd floor... this room had much better safety and all door locked. Luckily it didn't rain, because we would have gotten soaked! There were a number of large holes in the thatch roof, two over the bed... so we would have been soaked in our sleep (if we could have slept through the loud music next door). Again... should have read the reviews... 'cause there are reviews of holes in the roof and other guests getting wet during a rain storm. It had been many years since my last visit to this part of Tulum... last time I stayed a few doors to the north and ate lunch at Las Estrellas... my memory was that it was extremely nice and "high end"... I don't think there has been any investment into the property for years.
