Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The property definitely didn’t have everything it said internet was horrible and the lights went out a few times
Rooms are super cute! Was a little disappointed by the size of the outside “jacuzzi” that didn’t even get hot. The room service was alright but the vibes of the overall hotel were good.

The property managed by 2 different company that are fighting between of them , so there are many problems that affect who stays there. Very disappointed!
Wonderful stay at The Waves Tulum. The beds are very comfortable, the air-conditioning was cold and the WiFi was strong. I would definitely stay here again during my next vacation to Tulum.
The Waves is a beautiful resort - clean with great amenities and wonderful staff. We especially enjoyed the pool and the spa area... I had one of the best massages of my life! Regarding our room, it was clean and well kept, and we really enjoyed the tub on our balcony. The shower was great too. Our biggest issue was with with the toilet seat that wouldn't stay on. Also more towels would've been appreciated. Wifi throughout the facility was quite spotty for us. Overall, a great stay - 4/5!

Excellent price. Friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful property. Pet friendly. The only disappointment was the long distance from the beach and tourist area. You need a car or taxi
Staff is of no help property needs better up keeping and surrounding area for this property is horrible they also need to fix the road coming into the hotel absolutely terrible the restaurants and spa are never open. Breakfast is horrible and u have to wait hours! Would not recommend this place to anyone
Inconsistency between workers. Filthy rooms. Restaurant not welcome to guest. Horrible experience overall.

Llegamos y no sabiamos como entrar, no parecia la entrada a un edificio, era un cuadra que estaba todo inundado (no llovia) y parecia que el auto podia quedar atrapado, super oscuro y toda la zona es precaria, construcciones rotas y zona muy fea.
I communicated with hotel a day prior and no one told me they were fully booked so I child cancel and find another place. I got there at check in time only to be told room I booked is unavailable and have no rooms . With those features . They downgraded my room and told me they were going to switch my room and and give me meals to compensate . My room was never switched the next day and when asked about meal told me restaurants closed and don’t have that to give . A refund was suggested my one of the workers to reach out through Expedia and when I did so the told Expedia a lie and denied my refund . Horrible service and poor communication . Place is shutting down . I was not even giving paper work to sign nothing ..
Overall, the property and the units are nice. Particularly for the price. The staff take very good care of the property and are friendly. The negatives are that you essentially have to go to the lobby to get any kind of assistance, the toilets clogged very easily, and the property does not provide wash cloths.

The facilities for the most part looked like the pictures. I disliked the cleanliness of the pool on-site as well as in the room.
