I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Playa Azul. This is one of those rare times when the hotel is even better than it looks on the website. The room was just what I was hoping it would be; comfortable, cozy, interesting, and not at all pretentious. The bed was so comfortable, I slept very soundly. The staff was friendly, helpful,...

We arrived at this place late on a monday night and got a great rate on Cabana #1 ($90/nite). The room was beautiful, private bath, beach view. Would have stayed here the whole trip if we could have. Every day we were in Tulum, they had a sign outside advertising $75 rooms, but every time we asked, they said there... More

Playa Azul is the place to be in Tulum, the beach is amazing, the rooms are well decorated, very trendy beach style hotel. The restaurant is really good and there is a SPA. The major events in Tulum happen here: live concerts on the beach, DJs come every sunday afternoon... Meanwhile when the evening comes the place is very quiet... More

In Spa Playa Azul I booked an holistic massage with Carlos from Spain. He has been working for at least 14 years as a massage therapist. Not only his experience, but his special gift to touch you in wholeness, makes him more than professional. In the massage Carlos used different techniques, like deep tissue and pressure points. As well he... More

People is friendly and they try to help you all the time. Price was high, but no more than the others hotels in the... More

our last vacation to mexico before this was at a resort, we loved it but felt like we needed to "FEEL" mexico more on our next trip, and as our kids are a bit older, could handle rustic a little better. I was nervous that maybe rustic would mean dirty beach, bad food that will make our kids sick and... More

Playa Azul in Tulum is attractive and is cool and fun in appearance. It has an outstanding beach location. However, there were a few problems for us. First, the girl checking us was not welcoming at all. We walked up to the desk, hot and tired from a very long car ride. We were expecting a warm greeting as we... More
