Nueva Vida de Ramiro

Location was great - walking distance to every restaurant/bar I wanted to go to. Taxi's always readily available on the road. Hotel was gorgeous and peaceful, surrounded by tropical greens. Right on the beach! Construction that I can hear loudly from the room, but can't hear it at all on the beach. Staff were so helpful and genuinely kind. Good little breakfasts in the morning. Great seating areas on the beach. Rooms were much bigger than expected. No AC during the day (this was expected) only overnight but they have fans in good condition. Had a wonderful stay!! Thank you!

The location is so ideal, it feels super private even though it's in the main hotel zone. I love how each room is surrounded by jungle so even though you look right at the ocean and are close by others to feel safe, it's like you're the only person in paradise. Sunbeds are the best in Tulum in my opinion, how they are suspended like swings and also tucked into the trees for privacy. I 100% recommend staying in one of the beachfront rooms, I was in Emocion and it was really spacious and pretty with an amazing view. Super nice guy working on the beach... Armando? I think... who cut down fresh coconuts to give you for free! My first night I watched a giant sea turtle lay her eggs on the beach steps from my room!!! So magical!

For me the shower situation was so bad I wouldn't stay here again. The pressure and heat were great, but it was so salty and so filled with chlorine (worse than any pool I've ever swam in) that I felt sick to take a shower. Let me say, that I've traveled in all kinds of conditions (sleeping on floors even!!) so I'm not a picky traveler, but this just really made me feel ill. It seemed really unhealthy to me. Also, the restaurant was closed and most of their facilities seemed to not be operating because of the low season, so that was a bummer and an inconvenience. Wifi was extremely slow, but that seems to be the norm down in the beach zone. Also, feel to say that right now Tulum has a big seaweed problem, so it also felt toxic to be sleeping down at the beach inhaling the fumes. NO ONE, like NONE of the hotels are cleaning up the seaweed (apparently there are many reasons and politics behind this, not necessarily the fault of the hotels), so it's an issue at every hotel, not just this one. And this is specific to this time of year, so I'd only consider what I'm sharing here if you are looking in July/August. To me though, the only dealbreaker was the shower. I just can't stay here again because of it... even though the place was super magical and a steal of a deal because lowered rates for super low season.
