We had an amazing time at Ahua, the location was perfect, beach one of the best in the world, the restaurant unbeatable. Well worth loosing track of time. I have no more to say, just go to find out more! We'll be back I'm sure.

This review is a long time coming. My wife and I stayed at Ahau for our anniversary last September. We're not necessarily Jet Setters but we do get around and have stayed in many well revered places throughout the globe. I can honestly say that Ahau Tulum is the best place we've ever been. The hotel is beautiful and the... More

Even though we couldn't stay here because it was sold out we went for breakfast and also walked by at night by the beach and the place is amazing! The cabanas are huge and stylish right on the beach with balconies with chairs, they don't have beach chairs but beds and hamacas all around hanging by the shades of the... More

Warning, if you stay here, you will never want to leave. Unreal setup, such close attention to detail on everything, perfect spot on the beach, great yoga classes and a fantastic restaurant and menu, attentive staff - summed up in one word, "PARADISE". Great selection of places to eat and drink nearby if you actually feel like leaving Ahau at... More

We stayed at Ahau for a week in April. It captures that elusive balance between rustic and comfort. The high ceilings, comfortable bed, clean linens, delicious food and helpful staff were all 5 star. They had some of the best fish tacos I've ever had and the fresh squeezed juice were divine. If you don't mind the price, you won't... More

On arriving at 1.30am we were greeted by security and swiftly helped with our bags to our room. No fuss, and went straight to sleep. On waking in the morning we thought we had died and gone to heaven! The Bali hut had everything you needed- a bed and a mosquito net. A long drop toilet and and outdoor shower.... More
