Casa Violeta - 77780 Tulum

Stayed here in October and it was the best experience I have EVER had. Our room sat on the beach, was always super clean, and even with no air conditioning the fan and breeze kept us cool. This is an eco lodge so this won't be for everyone, but if eco is what you are looking for it is 5 stars. Food was delicious, coffee was strong, and the drinks were out of this world! We even got to help baby sea turtle get turned in the right direction when they hatched. Hundreds of them! Mario was more than helpful and we will for sure be back!

Absolutely love Casa Violeta! It is an adorable property right on the beach and feels like a home away from home. All the folks who work there are so friendly and warm, can’t wait to come back! Also the food and drinks are great. Definitely recommend this place :)

Decent cocktails on the beach, and a beautiful, serene dining room at the back of the hotel------but I had a 20% tip added to my bill and then written out by pen, a practise not acceptable in Mexico. Service in general was so-----so. Also the drive down the beach road is somewhat treacherous...pot holes everywhere.

I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else! The people working at Casa Violeta were incredibly friendly, attentive and welcoming. The owner Karla is amazing! The atmosphere of the entire property was unbelievable. I loved my stay here and will definitely be back soon.

A chill and sane respite on a strip that can be ridiculous, Casa Violeta is a terrific value for Tulúm beachfront hotels. I stayed in Gaia, farthest from the beach—which was quiet if a bit cave-like. During my stay, the internet was spotty, and the electricity went out a couple of times—but I chalk that up to overdevelopment in the town; the staff was helpful and supportive throughout, clearly having had experience with these issues.

I wanted to take a minute to write a note of appreciation for how great our dinner experience was. We found the restaurant by accident and we fell in love with the atmosphere and the sea breeze with the fool moon. Our food was absolutely delicious and our server Julio was fantastic!! He was very attentive and had a great knowledge about the items on the menu that really brought the cuisine to life. The dining experience was very memorable both through the food and through the service provided. I don’t often write reviews but this restaurant was fantastic. We got the cacio e Pepe pasta, the ribeye steak the tuna steak and the truffle ravioli and they were all amazing! The cocktails were great and the desserts were delicious. Truly an unexpected dining experience. Tip was included on the bill which is normal in the south hotel district and it was more than earned. If you are reading this you are probably on vacation so get a good meal and pay a good tip for your servers who are both knowledgeable and entertaining in very good English!

The good: pleasant / helpful staff, great view from restaurant, a dedicated sun bed and excellent walkabilty of the location. 2 small free waters a day. The bad: the room was like glamping. Doors and screens on windows not sealed, large gaps to outside. We had several large cockroaches in the mornings and were bitten by bugs at night. Lighting in the room was very dim, even in the bathroom. Sink leaked entire trip, left a puddle we had to step in every day. Room (Lotus) was advertised as ocean view. It was in the far corner of the property and 90% blocked by structures and trees. Almost no service on the beach unless you went inside to order and no music was played outside at all. Beach area was not kept private, they allowed groups of non -guests to camp on the sand next to your bed all day for the price of a beverage. We went for a beach walk and returned to find our sunbed pillows, beach towels and cover taken by people on the sand. Didn’t feel like our belongings were safe outside to go in the water or to the restaurant. Included breakfast was only juice, coffee, fruit and bread - the same every day with no seconds. Ate at the restaurant a few times, very bland food. We asked for help scheduling an excursion and they forgot, never followed up. Didn’t change the sheets our entire stay. Summary - wouldn’t recommend for the price. Paid $300 nt for a very rustic room with two beds, a below average restaurant and minimal service.

Great, small hotel. We stayed for 5 nights. Bungalows spread in beautiful garden. Located at the south (quieter) end of Tulum beach. Each bungalow has its own sunbed. Our room Ishtar had good air conditioning and clean bath room. No issues with insects (keep the windows closed at night). Very friendly staff!
