TLDR: save yourself some money and headache and stay here, do not fall for the trap of staying in the beach. Moreover, Jesus and Amay make your stay extremely easy, comfortable and enjoyable. Truly top tier !
My stay at kimpton aluna was perfect. Everyday i enjoyed a light breakfast as part of the buffet we paid for. You can order off the menu if you’re hungry but I never felt it necessary.
From there, you can take one of the bikes on sight (complimentary) and go visit the local sights like the beach, the tulum ruins, the national park or the amazing dining options. Everything is within a 20 min walk (max) or 10-15 min bike ride. You can also rent a scooter if you find that convenient, but walking and biking will be your best friends while you’re here.
If you’d like nice dining options, there’s something for every meal around the hotel. The food scene in the area is really top tier.
If you’d like to go on local adventures, highly recommend you work with Jesus/Amay to book a trip to Chicen Itza using the Easy Tours agency they work with. It was nice and well worth the price. Any other service you may need here (like airport shuttle) is also easiest if you go through Jesus and Amay, they’ve got the hookup.
15 out of 10 stay, tx staff!
As far as the room, pool facilities, really really top tier. Very comfortable and enjoyable stay.
Do NOT waste your money to stay on the beach, you’re not gaining much value and in fact are losing service in exchange for a so so view.
