When we first arrived everything was quiet and the beach was calm. We settled in at 10 pm and the power went off shortly after -- thats when the fireworks started. A bus full of drunken men showed up screaming and yelling and carrying on. Glass shattered over, and over again as we heard shots of "Falvo! Ed! Falvo!" Followed... more

This place is not worth the money. We arrived late afternoon to find the office closed and the one staff member we managed to locate wandering around the premises didn't know anything about our arrival. So of course we were given the worst room. For a place with only 10 rooms I expect them to at least know someone was... more

Upon a recent vacation to Mexico, I booked a reservation with “LocoGringo.com”. Their website and description of a hotel did not match the services received upon our arrival. The room had fecal matter in the waste basket when we arrived, the room smelled of sewage and there was a loud generator as well as a very noisy party adjacent to... more

We have just come back from 6 nights at Hemingway. Although we couldn't fault the setting or the food, don't come here expecting value for money (its the opposite), nor particularly attentive service. If you are in any way reticent about asking for what you want, whether that is a beer, breakfast or to be served some food, this isn't... more

Hemingway is located in a beautiful beach, well equipped, with lovely double-sunbeds and hammocks. Beach is very quiet and never crowded.I'll never forget the incredible sun rises from my veranda with the beach completely deserted. Paola cooks deliciously, specially pasta and fresh fish. It's the best restaurant we have eaten in all Tulum. Rooms are simple with a wonderful view.... more

My wife and I just got back from 5 days/4 nights at Hemingway, and had a really wonderful experience. Paola was a delight, extremely helpful, and a wonderful host...as was her assistant Luca and the rest of the staff. Anyone who says otherwise, not sure where that is coming from... We stayed in Tortuga, a great Sea View room with... more

We spent a long time looking at different places in Tulum before we settled on Hemingway, and we're very pleased we chose it. We didn't want to stay in some sterile air-conditioned faux cabana, but equally we didn't want to rough it. Hemingway was the perfect combination for us. Its a small place, about 8 Cabanas which gives it a... more

This is just about the only un-pretentious, modest and straight-thinking cabana on a beautiful strip of beach sadly awash with expensive, 'hippy' cabanas. Owned by an Italian, the cabanas are beautifully simple, and the feeling of stepping straight onto the most perfect sand in the world first thing in the morning is unbeatable. The cabanas have private hammocks on their... more

I stayed at the Hemingway in February of 2008 in the cabana above the small restaurant ("Estrella") . Don't expect reliable electricity, hot water, or a telephone. I had trouble sleeping the first night because the bed felt slightly moist from the constant seabreeze. But that is also a testament to the authenticity of the "eco resort" label. The views,... more
