Hotel Basico & Hotel Deseo are owned by Grupo Habita. Both are trendy hip small hotels, so you shouldn't expect to get any sleep! Overall, the Hotel Basico & Hotel Deseo are (2) hotels where the DESIGN is their primary GOAL and all other factors of what make an acceptable hotel to stay are null, so don't expect competent service... more

My overall impressions of this hotel after staying there for 4 nights: - Extraordinarily Loud. There is the music in the lounge which actually didn't bother me that much. It ends around 12 or 1am and I went to bed fairly late all nights. There is the nightclub noise and street noise (i had a balcony room) which was kind... more

Upon arrival the cool Deseo certainly impresses but we found it to be more like a nightclub with rooms than a hotel due to the loud all night music from the lounge bar. We arrived here for a well earned rest after travelling through Mexico. We loved the design of the hotel and the rooms and the staff seemed friendly.... more

I'm writing this from the hotel to make sure I don't forget how noisy this place is. As others have pointed out it is a beautiful hotel, cool, trendy and (relatively) unpretentious. The bar has a really cool scene and every visitor should go, just stay somewhere else! The noise from the bar was not too bad last night, but... more

This place is amazing. I loved the atmosphere, the people, the rooftop pool/bar. I went here with my girlfriend and we had the most romantic stay. The hotel choice made it the best vacation ever! If you are young, trendy, and like nice things, you will love the Deseo. more

I personally LOVED Deseo, although it's not for everyone. It's a trendy hotel meant for young people who want to stay up late. As the other reviews mentioned, the poolside area becomes a bar at night, and the music's loud. Also, this being Latin America, neighboring restaurants remain open, in full clamor, until 3-4 AM. If you need absolute peace... more

If I were backpacking around Mexico and happened on this place, and IF they charged, say, $40 a night for a room, I'd love it. But $240? Get real. I guess it proves there's a sucker born every minute, and I'm one of them. I'd love to own this hotel -- their profit margins must be through the roof --... more

The best part of the hotel were the photos on the internet. We had just got engaged in Tulum so were looking forward to having several relaxing nights at the Deseo. No such experience exists there. The first indication of trouble were the earplugs provided by the bed.....the walls of the hotel are not soundproofed from the bar that is... more

Beautiful rooms but rather small. Great front-desk service. Very noisy until the lounge closes. more
