This hotel was nothing it looked liked on the pictures I booked Expedia should definitely do research before allowing people to book hotels. There were no amenities at this hotel bar restaurant all closed. Roads were very bad it’s in a very dirty neighborhood. As far as breakfast not worth it at all. I saw a roach in my room. Plunge pool, and all the other pools were very dirty looked like it had not been cleaned for days. During check in I was told the guy that takes the Expedia booking was unavailable and would need to wait till he came back or I had to keep calling on WhatsApp to see when he would be back. Worst hotel false advertising all around …

Friendly staff. No hand or face towels at all just two bath towels. Breakfast is brought to you and it’s okay. No pool bar no restaurant. Pools are not clean only the rooftop pool is clean due to no trees hanging over it. Close to authentic Tulum and strip.

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!

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.
