Terrible Service and Breakfast
Terrible breakfast. It says 'Continental Breakfast' but the service is poor. Limited options which is delivered at your room (fruit run out on the second day). The housekeeping service is poor and they did not change/renew used towels.

6/10 Good

Disappointing stay
We stayed at The Waves recently and unfortunately had a mixed experience. While the hotel is relatively new (3 years old), it already shows signs of needing significant maintenance. Several issues detracted from our stay: missing amenities in the room (chairs, pool towels, bathmat, hand towels); a lack of cleanliness in the bathroom (dirty sink and faucet); and malfunctioning elevators. The pool area also showed signs of neglect, with broken sun loungers and a hanging, broken light fixture over the pool/balcony of our room. The hotel's location is quite far from the city center, making it inconvenient to walk, and the access road is difficult to navigate by car. Furthermore, services were limited during the off-season. Overall, while the hotel has potential, significant improvements are needed in cleanliness, maintenance, and amenities to justify the price.

La estancia fue buena, creo que es importante mencionar que la calle para ingresar con auto la calle no está pavimentada y tiene importantes inundaciones, el estacionamiento no tiene vigilancia y está lleno de excremento de perro, la habitación está muy bien y cuenta con buen internet

I cannot tell you guys about how much I recommend this place and how I have no words to describe The wonderful time I had at this hotel I loved every single moment of 5 days i stayed at this hotel. The staff from front desk to bars to resturant, housekeeping were is so nice and so willing to help, even though we had language barrier. The front desk person specially were so helpful, they are so quick to answer all your questions and so quick to help with whatever you it.

This was the WORST EVER experience!!!!!!! When we arrived, there was NO ELECTRICITY. The guests were in an uproar and the hotel employees (who hardly spoke english) cancelled everyone's reservations. Everyone had to run around Tulum at night, looking for a new stay. However, the hotel guranteed a full refund for the 3 nights. I GOT NOTHING!!! I spoke to several representatives from Expedia and they stated that they could not contact the manager. I went back to the manager and she promised a refund. Again I contacted expedia and still, I did not get compensation for my 3 nights and 4 days.

What a terrible experience we had ! This hotel will extort you for everything you have. First off, we booked The penthouse toom because it comes to the kitchen so that we could hire a chef for my birthday, and cook for me… Well, after the chef started cooking, they told us we had to pay an extra $100 usd or They were gonna call the cops on us… which is crazy. The manger is a terrible person and if I had known I would have never ever booked here. She is disrespectful and money hungry. Along with the other lady that’s a manger . I will continue writing reviews about this place on every platform as people need to know what they are getting into. I did see on tik tok that people were saying the cleaning staff was taking stuff out their room, but here I go being Naïve and booked it anyways . So this is an honest review . They were mad our chef came to the room because their chef is not getting paid for the service but the food they have here is nasty and there is never anyone in the kitchen making food. The second issue was that fact they charge people for any stains on the bed ? Lol especially makeup , granite I have not been wearing make up or anything and we had to wait 3 days just to get clean , half fresh sheets .. which still has stains and they said it’s oxidation.. they brought us up dirty sheets that looked like they washed already but the blue stains didn’t come out and they said it was us, mind you we were never even in the room all . Never again!
