Many of the rooms at this hotel have a view of the ocean, and I specifically paid extra for an “Ocean View” room. Unless you pay an upcharge, you will get a “Nature View room (jungle). Our room was on ground level, with a berm in front of our patio. You could HEAR the ocean, and you could SMELL the ocean, but you could not SEE the ocean from our patio. The hotel did not appear to be anywhere near full capacity, so I am puzzled why the front desk put us in this room. If they had just put us one floor higher, we would have had a wonderful view of the ocean. As we arrived late in the day, and were tired after flying, we just decided to accept the room.
Note: The room TV had intermittent signal outages and one night there was no satellite signal at all. Now I know you're thinking, why did you go to Tulum to watch TV, but this was at the end of a long day and we were retiring for the night, and my wife would have liked to watch a movie.
In one of the restaurants (Vela Sur), I was served a dirty glass of ice with food debris in it, which the waiter handed me to pour my soda into. Let me clarify, it was not the ice that was dirty, it was actually a dirty glass that had not been washed properly. I looked at the waiter to see if he caught it but he just walked away.
The wristband fob is a great idea, even though a wristband seems like a step back at an all-inclusive, but it's actually difficult to lose and you don't have to remember it when you leave your room.
