Village location good if you use crowded collectivo (group taxi/van). Absolutely no services and we were even locked out during the day time. Wasp nest on our door. Cockroach and cigarette butts in lobby. No water pressure. They never cleaned the sheets, trash or towels the whole week. But cheap and a local experience for stories when back home.

Great service. Lovely staff
Excellent. Nice to be away from the bustle of Tulum but within easy reach. Lots of local shops and places to eat. Good for access to Coba. Giovanni and Angela are great hosts and cook a very good breakfast that sets you up dor a day of exploring. Perfect if you have kids, we have a 4 yr old and a nearly 2 yr old. Well recommended

Hotel between Tulum and Coba
The rooms were fine, but the hotel looks as though it is struggling to survive. One of the two rooms we booked had only luke warm water at best in the shower. The towels and linen were clean but threadbare. There were no breakfast facilities onsite. When we asked about the "included" breakfast, we were told that there was a restaurant down the road where we could have breakfast. It was over a mile away. We had to drive into Tulum for our meal in the evening.

Clean and safe hotel...
This hotel is not close to the beach but it's exactly what we wanted and needed. The hotel is small, quiet, very clean and safe. We were looking for someplace like this to cut the travel time from having to drive to Playa del Carmen to the ruins in Yucatan. Jose the manager there was always attentive to our needs, and always ready to give advise on food spots etc... The rooms are super simple but what we needed. Good air conditioner, 2 clean beds and plenty of hot water with good water pressure. The TV only had one channel and usually on the channel the front desk was watching... But we didn't mind. The hotel also has a nice clean pool with a deep end and a shallow end that we took advantage of on our last night there.. All in all a very enjoyable stay and I would definitely return again..

Great little hotel for an awesome price
We loved the Palma Real. It was a little out of the way (about 13 miles from Tulum), but the price was very worth it. We had a rental car so it wasn't a big deal. It was hard to find in the dark initially because there are no street lights around, but once you get close, the hotel has a giant green sign that's easy to spot. The room was pretty good sized with tile floors and a comfy California King bed. It was cleaned and the sheets and towels were changed daily. The shower was ok - the water pressure wasn't great, but it was a clean hot shower after each day of doing tourist stuff. This is not a deluxe 5 star hotel - so don't stay here if that's what you want. Tulum has some of the best beaches in the world and the area tends to be more eco-friendly. Hostels are popular here. It is a place to go for the best beach experiences, food, drinks, swimming, snorkeling and awesome people. There are spas around if you want to be pampered. Just don't expect that at the Palma Real. It was exactly what we wanted, however, and we would stay there again. The pool looked nice, but we didn't use it. We stayed here in April and it was quiet and clean. There were some geckos around and it appeared that they were doing some remodeling to the building. All in all, I couldn't be happier with this hotel. This is Mexico - there are police checkpoints, bugs and mold. It's just a part of life. The negative reviews I have read all complain about these things so educate yourself before you go.

Budget stay for 1-2 nights
This is a basic accomodation on the road from Tulum to Coba. It's very budget friendly, no-frills option. The room has AC and TV, shelving and table with chairs. To use TV you need to leave a money deposit at the front desk. The property also has a pool and a small snack bar, neither of which we used. There is a 24 hr front desk/security person on duty. The room was reasonably clean but the sheets had stains which I didn't like. There is not much nearby in terms of cafes or grocery stores so for meals we drove to Tulum pueblo (~20 min).

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
We were not able to check in to the hotel because when we arrived, the receptionist said that all of the rooms were completely booked. He did not speak any English at all, which was fine, we were knowledgeable of some Spanish. We had reservations through hotels.com but the receptionist still would not help us. So we had to drive around until we found a new place to stay; we ended up paying a lot more than we had anticipated. This was a very bad experience and we will not plan to stay there again.

Uninspiring
The room was adequate, clean and the bed comfortable. Couldn't get on to internet with wifi and I thought I had requested breakfast and been given a price. There was no breakfast. The surroundings to the hotel were untidy and poor - pool was OK, not totally clean with no decent relaxing area. No effort made here to make guests want to come back.

Perfect stopover
We stayed overnight at this hotel on our road-trip to western yucatan. It is an affordable and clean hotel with good service and friendly staff. A little away from the city but fantastic for the price we paid. Also gave us a chance to visit the nearby village and experience local food and lifestyle. Equal distance from Tulum and Coba.

budget hotel that should have been cleaner
This is obviously a low-cost alternative to staying in Tulum (i.e. it's about 20km outside of town), which is why we chose it. The price was right, but even for the low price, some things should have been better. For example, there was a rat running around reception when we checked in. The room had a lot of bugs (to be fair, the area has a lot of bugs). The pool was not clean. "TV" was one channel that was connected to all other TVs in the hotel. If expectations are really low, then this place is fine and a good way to save money. But I stayed in several budget hotels in Mexico, and this was probably the worst.

Very good value for money
We planned one night, and stayed three. The hotel is small, fully renewed and looks good. The staff is friendly and helpful. There was some misunderstanding about payments (1 night Expedia and 2 nights direct) but the staff solved it professionally and easily. The pool is good, even though the tiles, both inside the room and between the pool and the room are extremely slippery when wet: be careful! Little restaurants in the nearby village are good value for money, especially La Paisana. If you like to see an authentic Mayan village that is NOT a tourist trap, drive to the roundabout near Coba, turn right and stop halfway between there and Punta Laguna. A sign at the left hand side of the road invites you to a 'zoological park': we visited the village and had the best possible experience. Punta Laguna itself is a tourist trap (expensive, very organised). Back to the hotel: the rooms are clean, the bathroom adequate. A light near the bed would have been comfortable, as well as a roof fan (the aircon is too loud to run overnight). The only minus is the noise of the road, but despite being rather noise sensitive that did not stop us from booking three in stead of one night.

This is just not a nice place to stay. The location is bad. It is halfway between Coba and Tulum and there is no place to eat except one small palapa that closes before dinnertime. When it rained the entire lobby filled with water and the tile floors became quite dangerous. The bathroom door would not close so there was no privacy in a 3 person room. We were provided with one roll of toilet paper and one shampoo daily for 3 people. The linens are old and threadbare. None of us would willingly stay there again.

Do not go to this hote.....not a good place.
While staying at this hotel....they were starting a remodel and we were in the pool and they were chiseling out cement from the 2nd floor and some of the cement was coming into the pool. So we felt we needed to get out of it. Breakfast the first morning was dreadful and we had to ask for it . it was not offered. The second morning we stuck with fruit and it was better, when we sat in the restaurant she just sat behind the counter and kept eating, I finally punched breakfast into my translater, where I switched it to Spanish and she nodded her head, yes. . The air-conditioner was above our bed and it was VERY loud and interrupted our sleep. The last day they were knocking out the cement very early and cement was flying everywhere and mostly into the pool. We were very happy to be leaving this hotel and would not recommend it to anyone.
