Snabb Överblick: A stylish jungle hideout that feels like a steal until you realize you're a $20 taxi ride from the ocean.
Recenserat av @nycyorkiegirls: I stayed at the Kimpton Aluna with my dog and was blown away. From the spiritual arrival ritual to the personalized treats, they treated her like a VIP. The food was fresh and the rooms were spotless. If you want luxury without leaving your pup behind, this is it.

Reality check

Renlighet & Underhåll
8.5
- Housekeeping: Daily and generally thorough, though sometimes they miss dusting high shelves.
- Bathroom hygiene: Clean tile and grout, but watch out for the occasional 'sewage' smell from the drains (common in Tulum).
- Maintenance: Modern and well-kept, though humidity takes a toll on wood finishes and paint.
- Linens & towels: Crisp, white, and high quality; replaced daily if requested.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells like signature Kimpton scent; rooms can be musty if AC isn't running.
