    My husband and I were looking for a nice bar by the beach during our stay. We found Delek on our beach walk and decided to check it out. We were immediately sold on with their 2 for 1 drink special. We also decided to return a few days later for brunch. All across the food was delicious! I loved the views and access to the beach. The hosts were super friendly and recommended great dishes to try. We will definitely return next time we visit.

    My boyfriend and I stayed at Delek for 5 nights in January. I could not recommend this place more. The staff is so attentive and very accommodating. The room was clean and room service everyday. They even brought us coffee every morning free of charge. We had lunch and breakfast a few times and the food was the best in all of Tulum. A bit pricey but to be expected for the area. Walkable to all the popular restaurants/bars. The best breakfast hands down!! Pancakes were 10/10 so was the avocado toast, tuna toast, tacos, etc. I would recommend the "balam" drink- we had to put entire stay. I would 1000% recommend delek for a place to stay or for food.

    Communication with front desk staff

    First, let me start my review by stating that I fell in love with the ambiance of the Delek Tulum Hotel. I enjoyed the food, cabanas, and the room until about 3:30 am when bedbugs awakened me. The staff was very attentive and supportive once I insisted that these were indeed bedbugs (see pictures below). However, I was disappointed by their refusal to comp my stay. As we all know, bedbugs can travel with unfortunate travelers back home. Keeping this in mind, I assumed the hotel would be considerate of the fact that I might face a possibility of infestation upon returning home, which will cost me much more than my stay at Delek Tulum. In this instance, they could have cared less and offered me free breakfast and comped my lunch and drink from the day before. They also offered one night free during my next trip with a free upgrade. I was told they would follow up via email, stating everything they would provide me with in the future. However, they never followed up. A month later, I followed up expressing my dissatisfaction with their lack of follow-through, and they never apologized. I will not rebook with this hotel because they don't understand that hospitality is more than just a vibe. It's about establishing a relationship with customers to let them know you care, respect their business, and value their repeated support. I intentionally opted for a local business over a chain hotel to support the local economy, but I regret my decision in this case.

    My boyfriend and I stayed at Delek for two nights when we visited Tulum! Delek is a great beach resort with a very warm staff! The parking here is a bit tight (like most beach resorts in Tulum) When we arrived there wasn't any parking available at the property however the staff helped us out and was very kind. We were welcomed with two shots of Mezcal which was a good surprise! We were celebrating my birthday and my boyfriend had requested the staff to do something special! The staff had it on their list but for some reason they forgot! The staff offered free drinks at the restaurent and asked us to wait until the room was ready. I ordered a Vegan quinoa bowl as well as we were starving which was very healthy and lemony (sour) which I liked. Their restaurant offers a wide variety of Vegan options and it has great beach views. Once we got to our room, they had decorated it very cutely and offered a bottle of champagne! The room is really pretty and one of their selling points. This is a pseudo eco-friendly resort, you won't have any television sets in your room but they have air-conditioners. Waking up everyday to the sound of ocean waves was just so good! They also offer complimentary coffee and cookies every morning with your stay. Overall, I love love love Tulum and will surely stay here if I go back! I deducted one star only because there was a hidden resort fee of around 100 dollars which they didn't mention upfront and we kinda felt cheated as they didn't explain what was the fee about.

    Saying that this hotel is fantastic is like saying nothing. We stayed in few other hotels on the beach and Delek is absolutely the best so far. Everything is ideal, service , location, food, music, atmosphere, people. First of all I would like to thank Mario (Concierge) for great welcoming, Mario (Waiter) for great beach experience, Zapata for Mezcal introduction:)), not to mention all other great people working there. We had rented Small Cabana with partial ocean view located on the top floor. The room was ideal for two of us, they are using internal water filtration system to save the planet so do not expect intense water flow from the shower but that did not bother us at all. You get to choose tea or coffee for your mornings and it is being served to you at your door at 8am, always with some bread and jelly. Water dispenser is at your room so you have drinking water all the time. We had a car and parking space is always reserved for you, even when you come back at 2am there is always somebody at the gate to let you in. The premises around hotel are fabulous, there is a restaurant, nice pool with the bar and plenty of day beds on the beach to enjoy the day and there you can also order food, drinks, mezcal, etc. Delek beach club allows everybody to use the area which is great since there is always a lot going on, keep in mind that you as a guest will be always prioritized for the place to sit as they put reservation marks on the cabana beds. We tried the food from their restaurant and everything was delicious( Tacos, Ceviche, soup, Aquachille), thumbs up for Tatewari restaurant. Delek is located next door to Bagatelle and Greek restaurant across the street, expect some loud music at times but the hotel provides you with ear plugs for light sleepers. We stayed four nights and it did not bother us to the point where we could not sleep. Ceheck out was super fast, no hidden fees, everything was explained clearly and we left super happy only to hope for returning to that great hotel again soon. Thank you again for an AWESOME STAY!! :)

    Excellent service from beginning to end. We came across Delek after finishing massages right next door. The restaurant is on the beachfront so seating selection includes cabanas, outdoor tables, and indoor covered tables. We sat at an outdoor table and had a number of different servers and staff and our table consistently. Angel was an amazing host and took time to make a personal connection which went a long way. He answered all questions and made suggestions on things to do during our stay. Food was amazing! I had chips and guacamole for starters which was a nice sized portion. For my entree I had tacos (shrimp, fish, chicken, and steak) all were great! They are smaller street style tacos so if you're hungry like me 4 or 5 is your sweet spot and I love that they sell them a la carte. Drinks were also great but I would recommend trying the Texila over everything else. This was a suggestion from Angel and I loved it. If I'm ever in Tulum again I would definitely be stopping by again!

    New hotel in Tulum and the newness is nice and brings good value. We had a queen size room on the first floor. We asked for a second bed and they did a nice setup putting a really nice twin mattress (not a thin rollaway) and bedding on top of the closet furniture. With a ladder, the setup was nice. We ended up forgoing using it though because it was a bit hot being higher up. Rooms have air conditioning units that work great and are much appreciated! Salt water showers. The pressure is good and it's different with the salt water. They deliver your choice of coffee or tea in the morning with a few cookies. Very nice treat! Some friends had a hit or miss situation with getting the coffee delivered and the portions were a bit light. No swimming pool (a very small standing pool up high, not for lounging or swimming), but right on the beach. Lots of seaweed washes up daily and it's a bit gross, but they are constantly working on raking it. Not a hotel thing, but adding it as something to be aware of. Lighting could be better in the rooms and bathroom especially. At least for first floor rooms. Walls are very thin and you can hear your neighbor's conversations quite easily. Each room has a safe, but it's on the floor which makes it difficult to see into. They have bicycles you can loan for $15 a day. We are at the restaurant and they did a great job. Tacos were delicious and salads were really large. It would be nice if they offered slippers for your stay since all shoes and sandals worn outside are covered in sand.

    This hotel was an absolute dream. From the moment we arrived, the staff was friendly, welcoming, helpful and really took our experience over the top. I spent my 40th birthday here and the staff helped to decorate the room while I was receiving a clay massage on the beach (highly recommend). The food was delicious and fresh, the rooms were clean and comfortable, the staff was amazing, comfy beds, soft sheets, everything was perfection. I feel like Fernando is a long lost friend & Jose was super helpful and everyone else that helped make our stay so nice, thank you! You guys really know how to make the Delek feel like home. I will be staying here from now on. Oh yes, location- location - location! It's absolutely amazing.

    This was by far one of the most amazing trips I have taken before with such a positive experience. Daniel, Martin, Juan, and the rest of the staff here at Delek Tulum are beyond marvelous. Juan was so helpful with our experience and guided us throughout our trip. The food was just delicious, we thanked the chef Raul any chance we got. Delek isn't much of a party hotel and that's what we really enjoyed. It's very Zen, very peaceful and relaxing. Everyone was extremely respectful, very helpful, and very happy. We got the best service here without a doubt and I would highly recommend this place to everyone whether you're with family, a loved one, friends or even on business. Will be back soon!!

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.

We were charged $150 for "minibar" items like small nuts and lotion that were left around the room, despite the worker telling us that only items in the fridge were part of the minibar.

Certain items are included (the incense around the room and in the bathroom) while others are NOT (the incense on the table), with no clear indications of what is an additional cost. And certainly no price list for the items (which makes sense, since they charged us nearly $50 for a tube of aloe). Aside from profiting off of this miscommunication rather than correcting the issue, the service and basic amenities of the hotel also did not live up to expectations. The room's safe was inoperable and required a technician to come fix it. The de-humidifier was out of maintenance and beeped all night the first day, keeping us up all night. They forgot to include a hairdryer with the room, and then forgot again to bring us one after we called them about it. These issues should not have happened in the first place, and response time to fix them was unacceptable. I would recommend staying in one of the many other beautiful hotels in the hotel zone, not this one.

Everything felt calm, spacious, and unhurried. We booked the Sea View Ground Floor Suite with Plunge Pool and it was gorgeous. The room had a king bed, two twin pullouts, a small dining table, and a bright, spa-like bathroom with 2 rain showers, dual sinks, and a separate toilet room. The private deck and plunge pool faced the ocean and beach with an unobstructed sunrise view. If we wanted it heated like a hot tub, we'd message the concierge on WhatsApp and they'd turn it on almost instantly. Service was thoughtful and seamless. Check-in was easy, communication was clear, and every night we received pastries and a thermos of tea in different flavors like lemongrass and hibiscus as a surprise treat. On arrival, the adults were welcomed with margaritas and our kids with pineapple juice. Housekeeping was meticulous, right down to straightening our shoes. Beach towels and cover ups were in the room and beachside food and drink service made it easy to spend all day by the ocean. The hotel is small (about 49 rooms) so the beach never felt crowded and there was always space to relax without competing for loungers. We were traveling with family (both of my brothers and their families), and the staff made a real effort to place rooms near each other, which made the experience even more special. Luxurious, relaxed, and genuinely welcoming. NOTES/TIPS: **Book early if you want a specific room type. We booked about four months out and availability was already limited. **They're strict about room occupancy limits. If you have more than 4 in your family, a second room is required. **If you don't want to rent a car or get a taxi, the hotel can arrange round-trip airport transportation for $400 plus tip. **Checkout is at noon. Staff will check the room for any left-behind items and the front desk can hold your luggage if you want to stay and enjoy the property longer.

It gives the impression that the entire restaurant is elevated among the trees. Up on the second floor, you'll find the main dining area, plus a bar, a DJ booth, and a space for dancing. If you go higher, there's a level with private little booths for dining, and it truly feels like you're sitting in a tree. I've visited this restaurant twice for dinner, and both times it was aesthetic heaven - the atmosphere was truly fantastic! Unfortunately, I can't say the same for the food quality. Most of the dishes my partner and I tried were just okay. Honestly, there wasn't a single dish I'd call delicious. The menu isn't very big, but it does have a few interesting options. On our last visit, we decided to share several appetizers: Naan Bread, Guacamole, Crab Croquette, Fish and Chips, Tuna Cakes. From all that, we only really liked and enjoyed the fish and chips and the crab croquette. The rest wasn't good - especially the naan bread, which was hard and flavorless. The tuna cakes were very dry and tasteless as well. From my first visit, I also remember the food tasting just okay. I did try the Grilled Octopus, which I liked, but definitely didn't love. To make matters worse, the prices on the menu are quite high. The food quality doesn't match the prices at all. Even the drinks, including soft drinks, are overpriced. For example, when I ordered a mocktail, they brought me a glass that was half-filled with ice; and the drink cost 300 Mexican pesos (U.S. $16). Crazy! Another negative point is the extremely loud music on the main second floor. It's impossible to have a conversation if you sit in the middle of that level. However, if you go to the separate area across the little bridge, the music is a bit quieter, but still louder than it should be for a relaxing dinner. The first time I visited, I got a table on the uppermost level, and the noise level was much better up there. I definitely preferred that upper area. On a positive note, I want to mention the sweet staff - the hostess and waiters were always extremely nice to me. But both times I visited, the waiters didn't check on us much during the meal. Also, if the restaurant is busy, food preparation can be very slow; we waited more than 40 minutes for our order. To sum up: I do recommend visiting this place, but more as a visual and artistic experience, not for the food. Go for the atmosphere, enjoy a drink and a tasty appetizer like the fish and chips or crab croquette, but plan to have your main meal elsewhere if you're looking for truly delicious food.

She flat-out refused and said I'd have to pay 8,000 pesos just to look. I asked for a manager, but she said the manager agreed I couldn't go up. She said the place is like the pictures online and I could decide from that. After 30 minutes of back-and-forth, she finally let me in -- and I was in and out in under 3 minutes. Thankfully, Juno upstairs was wonderful and actually helpful (the only positive part of this whole story). Fast-forward to the night of the proposal: Joanna, who knew it was supposed to be a surprise, asked in front of everyone, "Is this for the engagement party?" -- completely ruining it. Her apology didn't even sound genuine. The service after that was awful. We asked for the ahumador contra mosquitos they use at the tables, and no one brought it until we asked again and they brought it as we were closing out. The wait staff basically disappeared once they realized we weren't ordering food. We still met the minimum spend and even bought bottles, but it was the worst "special occasion" experience I've ever had. The place is gorgeous in photos -- but don't let that fool you. Between rude staff, bad energy, and zero hospitality, it's just not worth it.

    Great oasis in the heart of tulum beach. Everything is walking distance which is helpful because…read morecabs are expensive in the area as well. It is on the pricey side but the service is excellent and the rooms are kept very clean too. It's ocean front and the room itself inside is really nice too. The beach club is nice but one thing to note is that the service can be slow since there are only a few people working. Overall, I loved my experience at Alaya and recommend to anyone that wants a paradise like stay in Tulum. For the beach club food, I tried the shrimp aguachile and the chicken tacos and the aguachile was excellent. The tacos were pretty good. For dinner food I tried the chicken tortilla soup, empanadas, surf and turf and lava cake and all were really good. For breakfast food I tried the pancakes and the alaya eggs which were delicious. I loved the daily coffee delivery to our rooms!

    a bunch of scammers... What a horrible experience!…read more At around 1 pm we decided to grab some drinks and join their 'beach bar'. The waiter who initially sounded nice informed us that if we wanted to stay we need to pay $100per person. We refuse since it was already late and we weren't planning to stay for long and he supposedly helped is to convince his 'boss' and soon we found out the following: - bottle of 250ml water $7usd - beer sol $14 usd -mojito $20 usd -margarita $20 usd -tip forcefully included at 20% ... and we had three rounds which almost brought us to $300 usd. This is while we were being under strict visual surveillance and 20 of staff dressed in disturbing military uniforms talking on their ear pieces all the time and solders with machine guns patrolling every sexons hour. Tasteless!!
