My husband, mother, and brother in law stayed at playa Kin-Ha for 4 days, and I must say it's been a wonderful experience to stay so close to the beach and to be so in contact with nature!
We have been to the Tulum area two times in the past 5 years, and both times we have stayed at playa Kin-Ha mainly because of its friendly and loyal staff, its excellent beach and overall location, and the wonderful mexican-italian cooking at the little restaurant.
There are about 6 rooms that have been nicely renovated, and they all have either king, queen or full beds, a nice bathroom, and a couple of pieces of furniture like drawers and beautiful little wooden tables in which you can confidently leave your all of your belongings. We stayed at the rooms that have the beach view, and each of these have a spacious terrace with chairs, in which the view is just breathtaking at anytime of the day and night! This is just perfect since you can go to sleep to the sound of the waves, and you'll wake up to see the sunrise through your window! Only a few steps from the beach, so you can go down, swim and float in the gentle waves, sunbath and go back to your room for a nap, or a shower, or simply stay at the restaurant-bar and enjoy fresh fruit drinks, smoothies, or delicious pastas and mexican dishes. And even if you get the other rooms that do not exactly have beach view, you can still hear the waves and be within a few steps from the beach, and the comfortable hammocks in between! Even locals stop by to enjoy the beach, and the menu offered at the restaurant in playa Kin-Ha.
I must say the best for me was at night, specially when there is full moon, since Tulum area in general does not have a lot of big hotels and buildings, there is not too much of artificial light at night and you can appreciate the beauty of the moon illuminating the sea, the white sand, and the cute crabs that wonder at night along the beach! I would have never appreciated how beautiful is this without being in a place like this!
I do recommend you getting a car; we got a rental car from Hertz at the airport, and it is totally the best way to go around, since the roads and highways are excellent, and there are signs for every attraction, hotel, and archeological area. Kin Ha is perfectly located, just a few minutes from Tulum town, which is an excellent relaxing place where you can find a wide variety of places where to eat. Shopping is great too and we just enjoyed so much buying all sorts of souvenirs, and clothing made in the region. A few minutes away from Kin Ha you can find Tulum ruins, and very close in the opposite direction, the natural reserve of Sian Ka'an, which is worth exploring since you can find beautiful beaches that are free of crowd. Kin Ha, and Tulum area in general is the closest too to a couple of the main cenotes, and also on the way to the ruins of Coba. Other places like Xcaret and Playa del Carmen are also within a short drive.
An overall wonderful experience that will make us stay next time at playa Kin Ha! for sure! Oh, and you don't need a fitness center, or a pool when you have the wonderful long white sand caribbean beach to walk, jog, swim and relax!
