I found this place on the Michelin Guide and it did NOT disappoint! I would send everyone here if I could. The rooms remind me of a jungle layout except near the beach and they stock the rooms with lots of drinkable water and include everyday room service along with a welcome coffee and pastries. I kid you not they went above and beyond to get me my coffee even though I was booked to the brim with activities in most mornings. I really appreciated their service. It's super easy to contact them so whatever you need is through WhatsApp. I enjoyed my birthday trip here and they made me feel so accommodated I really feel like I stayed at a 5 star resort! Getting the cabana beds out on the beach was easy you just have to say your room number and they'll get you there asap. I just also really enjoyed the wet bar and the pool on hotter days.

We ordered drinks beachside and everything was delicious, the lobster was super fresh, and came out quickly. Lunch was great as well. The service was fantastic. Our servers were attentive, friendly, and always checked on us without being overbearing. They made us feel welcome from the moment we got there. Overall, it was such a perfect spot to relax, enjoy the beach, and have great food and drinks in Tulum. Highly recommend Akiin Beach Club and I absolutely cannot wait to go back next time!

TIP !! Bring bug spray or some bug repellant. we got eaten up. by the end of the trip i prob had over 50 bug bites all over. very very rough!

We needed a quick escape and decided to come to Tulum for a few days…read more We saw a few YouTube videos on Nomade and thought it looked beautiful so decided to stay here. First, let me just say that taxis and parking in tulum are insane. Despite this being a high end resort there is no shuttle for guests and no parking. So you're beholden to leveraging their bikes which you can rent for free between 12-5 daily or the ridiculous taxis waiting outside the entrance. If you do choose to rent a car, parking is street only and this seems ridiculous for a resort. I will note on their website they say they have parking but when we reached out directly to the hotel to inquire about parking (because we were considering renting a car) they explicitly told us it was street parking only. Ok, since we are on the negatives I'll continue by noting that check in isn't until 4pm daily so an early arrival means you can hang out in the public areas but just be aware of that when you dress for an early arrival. The other negatives, our beach access suite (the second most expensive room/suite available) did have its own pool and outdoor seating area but this area only got early morning sun. This made the area not very enjoyable to use for the majority of the day because it was fully enclosed/shaded and the "lounge area" was a couch so not ideal for lounging. Additionally, we saw a few crawly uninvited guests in our room. Ants in our toilet room and then a rather large cockroach on our sink/vanity area. With the indoor/outdoor nature vibe of this resort these guests I'm sure are a common nuisance but definitely not what you'd expect for $1000/night. The area of the resort is very intricate and maze like and while this weaving of the jungle/beach is a vibe it for sure it is not accessible to anyone with mobility issues. One of the main dining areas also offered primarily low/backless seating so again, not the best for comfort or accessibility. We also had power outages our last night - this definitely made the room pretty humid and difficult to sleep in (but the storm was great to listen to and watch). For a place like this and a per night rate as high as they charge, they should have dependable generators. Also, not necessarily a negative but important to note, there are no TVs in any of the rooms, so bring a few great books and indulge in the activities and conversations with your fellow guests. The resort does have great beach accessibility with plenty of loungers for guests. But the area also had a LOT of people walking around during the day selling various items. This definitely made it feel less like a private beach and more just like a public one which was again, disappointing. The last negative I will give for this place is we did meet up with friends who live in Tulum and who came over to join us for a lounge-y day and despite again, having one of the most expensive per night suites they did try to charge us for their "day passes". Thankfully, they said they'd make an exception which honestly, shouldn't even be a discussion given the room cost and the fact that we ordered food and drink throughout the day and had it charged to the room. So now for some highlights - as the YouTube and instareel highlights will showcase the resort itself is very "vibey". The suite we stayed in was nicely appointed and did have lots of big spacious windows providing great sea views and sounds. The bed was very comfy and big - plus the room came with a separate large seating lounge area. The pool and water feature was beautiful but again because it was shaded for the majority of the day the water remained pretty crisp. Another positive is there are daily activities you can sign up for and experience - including various yoga, sound bathing, and a really cool bonfire and stargazing. The main eating area also had live DJs and music on the nights we stayed and that was great to have available. The food was really tasty albeit very tourist priced. We enjoyed snacks on the beach (the tuna tartar and guacamole were both super fresh and delicious) and dinner at Mercado the first night (taboule salad and a great Mediterranean take on a taco). Both of these dishes were tasty and big enough to share. Our booking did include a daily breakfast but ordering more than one coffee resulted in a charge and that seems pretty petty when the cost per night is over $1000usd. It's also important to note that if you have an early check out, and pay for the breakfast, your option on your departure date is a sad boxed "lunch". This again, is wildly unacceptable for the cost. Guests leaving early should be able to place a breakfast order to go the night before their departure and not just be given a sad, tasteless boxed option. All in all, it was a great getaway for us because we were able to switch off but we'd not recommend this as a place that's worth its nightly rate. If we come back to Tulum we will for sure look for different accommodations.

Service: Tulum is very hospitality-focused so everyone is pretty nice, but they REALLY bent over backward here. From the welcome cocktail to the complimentary 20-minute massages, everyone was extremely welcoming and really went out of their way to make our stay special. Food: Breakfast is included, delicious, and authentic. Rooms: Beautiful. You are literally in a tree house. The bed is massive and comfortable. Location: Right on the beach and steps away from all the "hotspots". One of the highlights on our trip was sitting on the beach chairs at night and seeing all the huge turtles come out of the ocean to nest/lay eggs! Minor downsides: Limited number for rooms, so don't expect to be able to check in early. They have AC but some of it escapes through the walls. Lastly, you can hear faint club music from inside the room pretty late into the night, but it wasn't loud enough to bother us. Overall, we'd definitely return!!

They didn't rush us and allowed us to wander around the beach without closing our tab. We ordered stuff on the menu, our server suggested we get the catch of the day and that they would give us a discount because they wanted to use the fish. We ordered 2. When it came out, we were all impressed with its presentation but we were more impressed when we ate it. So good! There's a 4% fee if you use a credit card. If you use dollars, they only give you 16 pesos to a dollar versus the 17.50. When the bill came out, a 15% gratuity was added to the bill, I told him that I didn't want to pay the 15% but insisted that he change it to 35% for being so attentive. Every time we turned around, he would see us and come over right away. I didn't catch his name unfortunately. He didn't really speak English. Luckily we had one person in our crew that spoke a little bit of Spanish. Next to the restaurant is a massage tent. Do it! I suggest not having any sand on you or else it'll feel like an exfoliation. I'm def hitting up this beach front restaurant again next time I'm in Cancun!

It's located on the strip in Tulum. My 1st visit I had fish tacos and a Daquari. Their fish tacos were so delicious and tasty that it left me drooling for more. The fish melted in my mouth and was so darn soft and flavorful. Yummy!! The second time around I visited I had Tulum's signature beer and like seriously two drinks gave me a nice buzz. Also I wanted chicken tacos but it was not on the menu so I asked the waiter if I could have chicken tacos and guess what they made me three chicken tacos. Again my tacos were so delicious, filling and the presentation was amazing. Overall a great place to have a nice time out and relax. The waiters and waitress are pretty great. I'd connected with a few of them on Instagram.

The waiter did everything he could to avoid our gaze, practically had to pull him aside. They had a 2 for 1 cocktail deal but it was pretty confusing. You could only order certain cocktails, it only applied per person (meaning you couldn't just get 2 to share), and the second had to be the same cocktail as before... I had a whiskey sour and the second was obviously worst quality than the first with clumps of unshaken egg white globbed at the top. 2 stars because the ambiance was really good.

Have to compare the two as they're side by side and have the same product offering . Service - 4 vs 4.5 ( the other is more attentive , they constantly replenished our ice / water bucket, I didn't have to flag the server). Food - 4 vs 3 ( the burger here was quite good but the nachos tasted stale , food was on the small side especially the chicken wings at the competition) Ambiance - 3.5 vs 4.5 ( the other place is more Modern , have a swimming pool, they have a dj and dancers). If they reduce the amount they charge, are more attentive, the whole experience will be better and more would consider coming here . It's a good alternative especially because it's beach front ( both are )

Great handcrafted cocktails and an unbeatable view…read more Prices are reasonable for a hotel restaurant with beach views. You get a tranquil atmosphere and just a few paces away from the sea and this restaurant/bar is completely open-air so you can feel the breeze and soak in the ocean view. The menu is a Mexican culinary experience elevated and with an emphasis on the grill and crafting the food by hand. There's a wide array of unique signature drinks and cocktails influenced by the tropical atmosphere and nature. We ordered the cocktails. One was a chocolate milkshake and a whirlwind of dessert flavors. Very satisfying. The is more citrus based but just as delicious and is the perfect drink on a hot day. We really enjoyed watching them make the guacamole at our table by grinding oven roasted avocados into a flavorful mashup. Then they bring out the tostadas fresh off the grill and it is heaven for guac lovers. Also, their papas are really good. Thick slices of potatoes dressed in a delicious sauce. Service at the restaurant is also excellent and they really aim to please you. Enjoyed both our meals here very much.
