We stayed at Playa Azul in cabana 13 in May 2013 and had a good time. The little cabanas are very minimally decorated but have everything necessary. It can get very hot at night with no air-condition and only a very noisy fan. I guess that's part of the authentic ambiance though. A thing that really bothered us was the... More

I have been anxiously looking forward to returning to Playa Azul Tulum since my visit a year ago. I had a wonderful time last year, and submitted a 5 star review. Unfortunately I am unable to do the same this year. I have just returned from a four day visit to Playa Azul, and just have this overwhelming feeling of... More

This hotel looked beautiful in the photos but it was so much better than I even expected. The staff was great, the rooms were simple yet very comfortable, the beaches were incredible, and the resturaunt was delicious. I will recommend this hotel to everyone I know visiting the area.

I love this place! The beach is the best. I walked along the beach through the entire hotel zone today comparing all areas. Hands down the beach by playa azul is the best. Water is crystal clear which isn't the case everywhere. Other hotels have seaweed accumulation and rocks. Some areas have colder water. But playa azul has crystal clear... More

We recently returned from a week long stay during the second week in May at Playa Azul in Tulum. We had room #18, one of the rooms above the restaurant. The room was large with a high thatched roof and an ocean view balancy. As a previous reviewer stated, the rooms have a loft area that is not shown in... More

We returned to Playa Azul after staying here in November and loving it. Rooms and staff at front desk still great. It is much hotter in May than in Nov, so having a beachfront room was a big plus as we had a nice breeze. My family staying in room 13 had zero breeze and tons of mosquitoes being in... More

We spent 5 nights in the hotel and that is the ideal place to forget all the worries. Things happen in slow motion you are living in the middle of the jungle but still have enough amenities to not suffer it. People at Playa Azul is Friendly and willing to make you feel at home.

After getting fed up with our all-inclusive resort in Playa del Carmen (the Royal), on our last day, my wife suggested we rent a car and go down and check out Tulum. We had not been here in 15 years, and have heard it was growing, so we headed out on a spur of the moment adventure. We walked on... More

We stayed at Playa Azul Tulum at the end of February 2013. It was simply lovely and I'm hard pressed to think of anything that others haven't said about it already.
