Casa Ambar Tulum

great experience. room was very clean and quiet, except for the local wildlife.
it's beautiful traditional architecture with a great courtyard.
*air conditioning worked!
multiple good food varieties in close proximity. the hotel is located in a shopping district
i was out walking the streets around midnight and felt perfectly safe.
I will stay at this property again.

I absolutely loved staying here. It’s amazingly quiet, in the jungle and the vibes are so on point and not cheesy like a lot of Tulum. And in the middle of everything. I’ve been to Tulum 15 times and this was probably the best.

It is a great hotel while traveling as a couple or with friends. In the heart of the action on Tulum beach.

Got it! Here’s an updated version reflecting that:

Review for Hotel Ambar, Tulum

Hotel Ambar is a stylish and affordable spot in the heart of Tulum’s hotel zone. While the area is vibrant and loud—especially at night—the rooms themselves offer a peaceful escape with beautiful, well-thought-out décor and lots of character. It’s definitely a fun area with great energy and atmosphere. The location is perfect for exploring the beach and nightlife, and the hosts are incredibly helpful and responsive. A great choice for travelers who want comfort, style, and an unbeatable location.

Nice clean and authentic rooms

Casa Ambar is a lovely place to stay with a rustic vibe and lush grounds.
The reception is very kind and helpful.
Beach is across the street. Cute boutiques and shopping all in the area. Perfect location! Solo female traveler and I felt safe at the property.

Hi! It was lovely. I wish they have beach access, besides everuthing was good.

Cheap and nice

This is one of my worst hotel experiences ever! I can't even call this a hotel, it was a step up from camping. While receptionists were very sweet, communication with the hotel wasvery poor communication. They don't answer the phone, and reply sporadically to whatsapp messages. The property ran out of running water multiple times and they offered no solutions. When it did have water, the water pressure was hardly a trickle. Worst of all was the cleanliness. I requested multiple times for my room to be cleaned only for it to not happen until my last day. Worst of all: the bugs situation! I had bugs literally in the bed biting me! I can see them and when I informed the hotel, they offered no solution or recompense. I even just asked if they can changed the sheets (which they should have when the room was cleaned) and they wouldn't! They offered no bug spray, a bug zapper, nothing! Totally unacceptable. I'm reporting this to Expedia.

We booked this hotel for 5 nights but arrived be day late for check in and they gave our room away. No refund. We tried calling them and they never answered their phones. Once we arrived they had no manager on site and they stated they only communicated through wats app. We are extremely disappointed. Lost almost 1k. This is fraud. Extremely dissapointed.

Casa Ambar is Permanently Closed. We were very surprised to find this out.after our arrival. .

I had a lovely stay at Casa Ambar. I was in town as a solo female traveler for a wedding and felt safe there. Decor was cute and I had a huge balcony. Every morning I walked over to the Good Morning Coffee next door for breakfast and iced coffees. Clean as well. Could hear club music at night but it didn’t play late. Also you can’t run the AC during the day but can at night. No direct beach access or pool though so it helped that I had friends staying nearby with both.

Nice little place tucked in the hotel zone..in a great location..

Nice service from the from desk lady.. Very helpful.

An Eco friendly place that uses solar power during the day. AC turns on 9pm-5am...never been to a place that restricts..but I understood the concept..

Nice spot..if they get the ac running all the time will def be back!

This hotel is located central in the hotel Zone walkable to all the good restos and beach clubs! Although wifi wasnt always the stongest Liz and Aiden made up for it they were extremely welcoming and accomodating inlucding liz who cleans always with a smile on their face and addressing me by name! Thank you for a great stay!

Terrible place. Not sure who writes theses reviews but this would never be my recommendation for anything. One step above camping. Thats it. They didn't pick us up at the airport air conditioning turn off before the time which is only on 9pm to 7am
no cups. Cant use the water. Toilet dont flush
Hair dryer usage not not permitted no towels. No beach not a cooler or one single thing. My camper has more to offer.the location was the only thing worth mentioning. A water jug got broke by total accident and they actually charged us for it. That would be like breaking a glass at a restaurant and they charge you. Than upon check out once again no return to the airport with a attitude of check and negotiate on the street. Nothing like was everything ok. Why because it was horrible. They say the sister hotel which is miles down the road has pool. If thats what you call it. But the same junkie place. But it does have beach access. Thats its savior. So recommending this place that i took others recommending people is a joke. Dont stay here. You will hate your life.

Casa Ambar has a great location near all the activity on the beach. The place was spacious, well kept and the staff was exceptionally friendly. In particular, Liz was very helpful! She was kind and gave great recommendations and made our trip much better! 10/10 would recommend.

Never clean the room and bad area is not close to the beach

Too close to loud night clubs. On the jungle side

The staff was very friendly. I especially want to say thanks to Gonzalo. He was so helpful in getting us from Cozumel to the hotel. He provided the information for taxi and for the ferry. The hotel is in the perfect spot for shopping, dining and having fun. The hotel kept having issues with their power so it kept going out even during the night and it was hot. Having the pool and beach at their sister property was great. It was an easy 20 minute walk.
