Villas Geminis Boutique Condohotel

Great base for mother-daughter trip to explore the gorgeous natural and cultural sights of the area. The hotel is very clean, attractively decorated, well maintained. Better than basic, but not luxurious. Free loaner bikes that you can pedal to the beach and ruins. Good full breakfast, friendly staff. Pool is smallish but refreshing and well-kept, surrounded by shady garden. Good restaurants and shops nearby. Highly recommended.

Very nice room, bed was big and comfortable. Breakfast was served on a plate, not self service, but was good (fruits, eggs, yogurt and granola, juice). It is very close to the main avenue, with restaurants and stores, but it's a bit far to go to the beach by food. They have bikes that you can rent for free. Parking space for 2 cars, but plenty of space on the street (seemed safe). We didn't listen to any loud music in the 3 nights we slept there. Staff was really nice and helpful. Shower pressure could be a little bit better.

3 night stay in Tulum. The positives: the room (Monet) was large, well presented and clean. Staff were very welcoming and the location very central. The parking had actually only space for 2 cars at the rear, however there was on street parking nearby. The negatives: breakfast was very simple. Very little choice, warm coffee and only available after 8am. Tricky if you have an early departure for tours etc. Wifi was dreadful. Very little connectivity, could easily be rectified with boosters installed in rooms. Not normally an issue but with covid forms and test stuff to access prior to travel it rather is nowadays. Having to go to a local bar to download forms wasn't ideal. Also no room safe or anywhere to deposit valuables. The staff spoke next to no English so was unable to find out if valuables could be left somewhere safe other than in the room. Hotel is nearby a rather loud bar or club so noise was loud until the early hours. Not a problem if you're out yourself until late but can understand it would be a problem if you need an early night. Overall a bit disappointing for the money paid. There are much better value for money hotels within walking distance away from the main road. Unless they rectify the breakfast and WiFi I won't be visiting again. Having said that the staff were very good....
