Very Beautiful hotel. I never experienced staying on a place like this before. Totally worked it. All the staff is super friendly, begining with Fabiola, her service was outstanding, she made us feel like home ever since we arrived. Also the other 2 (apologies for not remembering their names) persons working at reception helped us a lot with recommendations and also with reservations for nice restaurants. As well as the waiters and staff working at the restaurant, Beach and pool especially Mario, Leo and Milo. We definitely have to come back to Ma'xanab 🙌 we really relaxed and enjoyed our stay. Like other reviews said, every penny spent at Ma'xanab is totally worked it.

I don’t know where to start. Everything, literally everything, about this hotel is a 10/10. From staff, to grounds, to the room, beach, pool, and everything in between was nothing short of amazing. Try everything on the menu, it’s delicious. Don’t know what to drink, have the bartenders serve you a surprise. This is the only hotel I will be returning back to in Tulum.

When we first entered the hotel, we were a little disappointment because of the seaweed on the beach to find out that it was down the whole coast anyway however, our choice to stay at this hotel was an unbelievable experience. Probably one of the cleanest hotels I've ever stayed out in my entire life. The staff was so kind and respectable and couldn't do enough for us, and also only ate lunch there, but the food was incredible. I would definitely recommend it.

Not worth the higher price vs some of the other hotels on the main road. The shower was facing the backyard with no way to cover the glass so someone on the balcony on the room next to us could see us naked. Power went out so AC stopped working. Breakfast was delicious, welcome drink was nonalcoholic.

Lovely Tulum beachfront stay

Excellent staff and beautiful beachfront location, with just 16 very nice rooms! Breakfasts at the beachfront restaurant/bar were tasty and cooked to order. Our balcony had a generously sized daybed and very clean plunge pool, heated in the evenings. The hotel is very good about providing clean drinking water in the room -- both cold in the fridge and at room temperature on the counter.

Worth every penny. It is tucked away in Tulum, close to some delicious restaurants. But if you never leave the hotel, you won’t be disappointed. The staff is so friendly and attentive. The service is quick and reliable. Let me tell you about the food…so delicious. Free breakfast in the room every morning, divine! Had a small pool and bed outside, which was amazing. Couldn’t recommend more…it was perfect!

A Truly Exceptional Stay at Maxanab Hotel – 7 Stars! Nothing short of amazing! The staff went above and beyond, reaching out before my stay to arrange seamless transportation to and from the hotel. While I can’t say for sure if I got the best deal on pricing, it was worth it just to bypass the chaos of airport transportation offers. Once there, I was impressed by the personalized service. The staff knew our names, which at first felt a bit unusual, but I quickly realized it was a thoughtful way to ensure guests’ safety and comfort. The hotel felt intimate and exclusive—almost like a private retreat. The front desk staff are always attentive, monitoring who comes and goes, adding an extra layer of security. The room itself was spacious and well-appointed with a wonderful turndown service. I appreciated their attention to detail. The beachfront was simply perfect—pristine, peaceful, and exactly what you’d hope for in Tulum. The on-site restaurant exceeded expectations, both in quality and service. The included breakfast was a full meal—entree, fruit, and beverage. Compared to food options outside the hotel, dining at Maxanab was both superior in quality and better value for the price. On my next visit, I’ll definitely dine at the resort more often! Overall, this stay was incredible, and I wouldn’t hesitate to return.

Great small boutique hotel in a good location. Close to all the hot spots in Tulum but no loud clubs immediately nearby, which is nice. Staff is friendly and helpful. Service is excellent in the room, at the restaurant, and on the beach. Restaurant food was good, both for breakfast and for lunch service on the beach. This was our second stay at Hotel Ma'xanab and it was great both times. We will go back.

Hotel Ma'xanab is a excellent quiet hotel where guest come for a peaceful retreat, excellent food and incredibly attentive service. The staff make the hotel what it is - they ensure guests are comfortable, informed and happy throughout their stay. From the front desk to the waiters, every staff member is positive and looking out for your best interests. Jose and Mario were incredible. By day 2, I’d have a coffee served to me, before I even sat down, just the way I ordered it the day before. And Mario was particularly helpful, checking in on us every hour and providing suggestions on where to spend our time. Trust the staff to steer you in the right direction. The property is small, yet breathtaking, with large rooms nestled in a jungle setting. My room had an outdoor shower, and my fridge was stocked daily with complimentary cold water, cookies and nuts. The gym was tiny but had enough free weights and a pull up bar to make for a good workout. I loved that there was no need to wake up early to reserve beach chairs. This hotel ensures guests are a priority and help set up our beach chairs, umbrellas and towels daily. The only negatives -- the general expense of Tulum and the treacherous walk from the hotel to the nightlife. No sidewalks, little lighting and too many vehicles. Tulum is expensive with its boho-chic vibe and night scene. Dinners and drinks were more expensive here than Toronto. So come prepared to spend if you like to shop or eat well.

We really like this hotel in terms of cleaning and and the property conditions in general. However we really disappointing with the amount of noise at night coming into our room from the traffic on the main street and we re not being able to sleep because of that. Staff didnt do anything to help us or move to another room with less noise since they have those available unless we pay more for.

Hotel Ma'xanab is a charming boutique hotel with a spectacular beachfront. The rooms in particular are lovely - large and stylishly fit out; ours came with a plant-filled terrace and plunge pool. The real stand-out about this hotel, however, is the staff. They are exceedingly accommodating and knowledgeable. Particular shout-outs to Jose, Milo, Diego and the rest of the reception staff. We would highly recommend this hotel.
