This is by far the worst hotel in Tulum and it’s not even close. The whole place is a dump. The owners don’t care about this place and it shows. Not a single bartender can make a cocktail. The absolute worst mojito I’ve ever had in my life. I got stomach pain from one sip. The day beds on beach and entire property are trash. And if it couldn’t get any worse they have a deranged untrained wild dog on their property that literally runs up on people on the beach and bites them. I’m not kidding and they don’t care that the dog bites random people. This place should be shut down for good. Go stay literally anywhere else in Tulum.

Worst Hotel in Tulum

We rented the private cabana right on the beach and it was amazing!

It’s a comfy king size bed with your own private bathroom. The front porch is nice to sit and watch the ocean. It had a roof top deck also for an even more amazing view! 

The cabana is a bit rustic and not “air tight” so be aware of the possibility of bugs. The wind was nice and breezy when we were there, so there were none!

The only other thing to take note of is the water in the bathroom. Not sure of how they get water or filter it, but the shower didn’t appear to be 100% fresh, it had some salt in it. But that wasn’t a huge deal to us.

The staff were all very friendly and helpful.

If you’re looking for a quiet little place on the beach this is it. I’m not sure you can find an actual room closer to the ocean! Sunrises were amazing!
 
We loved it!

If you want to be ON the beach!

We are so happy we found La Chan Cabañitas, with its simple, breathtaking, spectacular ocean view and all the sounds of nature to lull you.  The breakfast was beautiful, the entire staff kind and helpful, and Moni the owner treated us like friends.  You can get an incredible massage right on the beach just a few steps away from your room. We stayed in La Mexicana room and highly recommend this one.  If you are wondering, as we were, will we be attacked by mosquitoes, I will say that we got many mosquito bites in Tulum but NONE from our room at La Chan, only from being out in the jungle itself.  The fans + screen air combo worked, it seemed, to keep bugs away and also because of the location of the room we had an excellent breeze and were comfortable the entire time of our February visit.  Planning to return, muchas gracias todos.

Authentic Mexican -- Pura Vida

So happy I stayed here. A bit of rustic with an optimal location. Great gratis breakfast and lovely bikes for guests to use. Very helpful staff,would be happy to stay here again. I also recommend the massage folks located on site as well. Beds weren’t as comfortable as I’d prefer but not bad. 

Delightful, just what I was looking for

Beautiful place right at the beach. The luxury of the simplicity. Cute Cabañas at the beach with no a/c but lots of breeze and if needed a huge great fan above the king size bed. No outlets! You can only charge usb. Forget the laptop, the blow drier, the tv. (If needed you can charge laptops at their office) this place works on solar energy just as everyone here works on moon energy. The only sound is the ocean.
You can get an hour amazing massage by the beach for 35 dlls. No swimming pool... you have a warm beautiful ocean, you don’t need a pool with chlorine.
Everybody here is so charming and helpful. The breakfast is amazing! They don’t serve lunch or dinner but you can order from nearby restaurants or you can walk there by the beach and enjoy the stroll.
BTW. WiFi is fast and reliable if you badly need your Netflix or download a book. 
It was the perfect spot for our 23rd anniversary!

Less is more... way more!

We felt so at home at La Chan Cabanita. We were treated like family and with the best hospitality. Moni was fantastic! I highly recommend having a massage there on the beach with the most breathtaking view of the crystal blue ocean. We had the most incredible view of the ocean and sunrise from our little cozy house on the beach. Breakfast is good as well as the coffee. We will definitely be back. Thank you guys!

Amazing!!

stayed in Mexicana. Very nice ambience in the room - bright with high ceilings, peekaboo view of the ocean, charming tiled bathroom w hot water and comfy beds but not mosquito proof. This is unacceptable when paying $150 USD a night. A guest should not have to battle mosquitos throughout the night - it just spoils everything- come on. At least provide bed nets. I have stayed in many places in Tulum and it is a must to have the doors and windows open to catch the wind - it can be very hot at night- bed nets are mandatory. We needed to close our sliding glass door because of the mosks and it was stifling- Add the fact that ceiling fans are on a timer and only function between 7pm and 7am and at a very low voltage makes for a restless night. Also there are no electrical outlets AT ALL in the room for charging computers or using appliances and only a usb port for a cell phone.

pros
located on the best part of Tulum beach
comfy bed
immaculately clean 
Mexicana has partial  view of ocean
large charming tiled bathroom
hot water
all taxes and breakfast included in room rate

cons
not mosquito proof
hot with limited relief from air fans
no electrical outlets- usb ports for cell phones only
