Chilam Balam Auditorio

Our stay at Casa Gitano was only one night and it was far down the single road going into Tulum (about 30 mins). We enjoyed the beautiful beach view from our room. The room was smaller than we imagined at 500 sq ft but we had just enough space for two. The major issue was the water. We had no hot water the entire time. It got lukewarm at best. But overall we still enjoyed our stay.

I’m rating this property 5 stars because the rooms are wonderful!! The beds are very comfortable, bathroom is huge and the shutters make the room dark. The icing on the cake is the private pool in the patio! If you asked for the staff to warm it up, it stays on until 10pm and it’s the absolute perfect temperature. I’m not sure if all the upstairs rooms are the same but we were put initially in an upstairs room and the AC was via control and very weak, making the room hot. They immediately moved us downstairs and it was the perfect temperature with actual central air conditioning. The ambiance in the hotel was boring as not many people on the property. The beaches in tulum are ugly due to algae and the hotel pool is a joke, barely bigger than a jacuzzi. Also the hotel food is not that good. BUT like I said, perfect room with an amazing private pool. The hotel is within 1/2 mile from the main strip (1 mile from major clubs, 20 min walk). The area was very safe to walk even though the hotel is not right next to the action. Gym is also small but has weights up to 60 lbs dumbbells, cardio machine, bench and curl bars. The staff is very nice and even though we staid out late every night in the pool, they never said anything to us. I’d definitely stay here again.

Had an awesome relaxing girlfriend getaway. The staff from check in to the beach services were great.the room was beautiful
