The view from the dining hall is breathtaking!! The staff is very helpful and friendly. The rooms and the amenities are nice. In the warmer months, I’d recommend the beach/garden side rooms. The jungle side rooms are great but the run warmer is summer months. There are a lot of dining options and experiences nearby.

Good not great but with amazing staff
First of all the property has amazing and friendly staff, very nice food and a super beautiful view on the beach from the breakfast place on the beach side. The room we booked had a very pretty bedroom and outside area with small pool, however the upstairs terrace looked down into dirty jungle (empty bottles and cans) and the area looked sad (2 dirty old hammocks and that’s it). All that wouldn’t have put me off but to get to your sink and toilet you had to leave the room through a door so the sink is outside in the heat with all the insects and the toilet had an open roof which resulted me finding a variety of scary insects. After one night we asked if they have any rooms with bathroom inside and OMG we got a huge upgrade thanks to the manager Nathalie. It was a beautiful outstanding suite which would have been perfect if the AC was stronger and the hotel was cleaner and in better condition in general.

We loved La Valise! It was very clean and luxurious, the staff was very kind and helpful! The spa is beautiful and the massages were amazing! Cons: The road to the property is not in the best condition, very narrow with lots of cars, bikes and pedestrians don’t is very chaotic. Lots of construction. Everything near the hotel is very expensive! $20 for a 5 min cab drive. $200 for restaurants so be prepared!

This property is a small, boutique hotel but the level of service is above and beyond. The staff is so friendly, knows all of the guests names and make everyone feel so comfortable. Very quiet as the restaurant and beach areas are for guests only. And while very hot/humid in mid-May, the jungle pool is so beautiful and relaxing. Beware of the bugs on jungle side though. I recognize this couldn't be avoided but there are lots of grasshopper type bugs, moths, mosquitos and worst of all scorpions (which are apparently harmless). Peaceful to be amongst the trees, but my (irrational) fear of bugs made it so I couldn't really relax while sleeping. Some of the rooms on the jungle side have outdoor bathrooms which isn't appealing to me, especially in the middle of the night. Beachside in the future, that's for sure.

The service, the cleanliness and the amenities were great. Eddy and Jesus which were our two butlers went above and beyond with everything we could have asked for. I can’t explain how comfortable me and my fiancée felt with their service. Now, I have to point that we had an inconvenience with Room #9 (jungle view). This particular room I assume is next to the kitchen. It was a nightmare with the noise from 6am up to 11pm. It was already one of the most expensive hotels from my options and the least I wanted to expect is a noisy room right next to the kitchen. Everything else satisfied my expectations from what I read on the reviews.

Amazing hotel. Would go back.
Stayed in a master suite on the jungle side - one of the best hotels we have stayed at. Was so quiet and peaceful. Pool area was amazing. Beach area very picturesque, but would personally prefer to spend time by the pool. Loved the roll out bed, spent a very lovely morning lounging on the bed on the balcony! No request was too much. I would say drinks / food is a little pricey, but in the context of the Tulum hotel zone was actually pretty reasonable. And plenty of food / drinks options within walking distance. Would recommend.

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to all the staff who are so helpful and wonderful! Valet parking, beautiful rooms! Very accommodating. The staff remember your names and are so happy and smiley! It’s like living in a luxury jungle. We specifically chose this hotel as it was the only one with consistent amazing reviews and it didn’t disappoint. It’s right at the end of the ‘strip’ so it’s lovely and quiet as we didn’t go to tulum for the ‘party’. ONE FOR THE LADIES - all hotels in tulum are run off generators so if you take your Dyson it won’t work 😂 check your voltage on the Dyson website as I looked a little like a cave man till the humidity broke
