Macondo Tulum

Accommodation Comfort: Rooms and apartments were described as comfortable with functional air conditioning, good WiFi, and well-maintained beds. Some units featured private pools, terraces, or jacuzzis, enhancing the overall stay experience.

From our experience, the place didn't look like the pictures at all. Our appartment was very dirty (stains on the sofa, on the walls, on the sheets). We stayed only one night instead of four because we couldn't spend our vacation in an environment like that.

Mixed feelings I have mixed feelings about this place and not sure if I would stay here again or not. After seeing some negative reviews on other booking sites, I was nervous about the cleanliness of our apartment prior to arrival. The receptionist kindly showed us to the penthouse and when we noticed stains on sheets and sofa, she seemed to shrug off our concerns. The grounds and main pool, however, appear to be well maintained. The location is on the cusp between the north side of the suburb and the south side of the town, within a single-entry road with a security guard. The main walkable areas of the town, suburbs, and beach are best reached by bike, moto, or car, as the place is a few minute drive away from most things. There is no daily or weekly cleaning service so be prepared to negotiate laundry and cleaning. The living room sofa in our penthouse was heavily stained and after reporting again to reception, it was only the very helpful maintenance gentleman who offered to cover the sofa with a blanket so we could sit comfortably during our stay. The small safe never worked and the primary door to the penthouse has only a simple turnkey lock. However, the area in general felt safe. Additionally, the kitchen is stocked bare minimally so a grocery store run for cleaning and cooking supplies (in addition to food and drink) was necessary. If you value a large space in one of the older apartment buildings located in a relatively quiet area, this place might be right for you.
