This hotel beat my expectations. Such a cute, simple and clean beachfront property. Staff was extremely accommodating and answered any questions for us. Besides being directly on the beach, it is very close to many good bars and restaurants. I highly recommend this place and will book again if I am back in Tulum.

Property was exactly as advertised. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Hotel is low-key, quiet, and mellow. Great location on the beach with easy access to restaurants, bars, etc... The communal kitchen was a nice amenity. Beach had nice loungers/palapas for guest use.

Great stay!

Posted 6 Feb 2020 on Hotels
We stayed here recently in mid-January. The hotel staff was amazingly nice, helpful and attentive. Your room is stocked with two free bottles of water every day which is great (they also had a water cooler on site so you could full up your own water bottle, I thought that was really helpful). There’s a little shared kitchenette to make coffee or cook (we used it to have snacks in the morning but there were pots/pans so you could essentially make a whole meal). The rooms were clean, house keeping was great and always replenished any toiletries we needed (shampoo, conditioner and body wash) and there were fresh towels and sheets every day. The air conditioning only works from 8pm until 8am, which is fine for us because we did spend most of the day on the beach or wandering around. The hotel is RIGHT on the beautiful beach, there wasn't any sea weed issues I read about. The beach loungers were SO comfortable, big cushions along with little side tables, we sat there for hours enjoying the ocean. The hotel doesn’t have a bar or restaurant but there is a bar right next door and several other restaurants/bars super close by on the beach. Also wanted to note that there isn’t a safe in the room, which I was surprised at first but didn’t really worry about, we don’t bring any valuables besides our passports. There was always someone on site though, whether it was at the front desk or night security. Enjoyed our stay here would definitely come again!

Keniza Beach Hotel was conveniently situated right on Tulum Beach and next to many restaurants, bars, and shopping. Its property included beach loungers, towels, a community kitchen with drinking water provided, and use of the kayak with a reservation. It features beautiful murals by an Oaxacan artist and spaces to sit around/chat/enjoy the scenery. Very Bohemian and laid-back. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and would recommend it to those wanting a place by the beach. In the room I stayed in, wifi worked well, the beds were comfortable, and two fans were provided. AC only works from 8 pm to 8 am. We visited in December so the weather was perfect without AC so AC might be necessary during the hotter or more humid times of the year. Staff were excellent in responding to my concerns and inquiries.

Super loud construction noise at 6am in the morning. The room wasn’t clean and we had to switch to another room but then the air condition was broken at night so we have to switch back to our old room. Wasn’t a good experience overall

Dear Soya Qian, First of all, the construction next door has NEVER started before 8 am on ANY morning!! Furthermore, the noise from our neighbors is entirely OUT of OUR HANDS ... regretfully! Secondly, if you look at any of our reviews regarding our Cleanliness, you will find that we have a VERY high ranking. Thirdly, the ONLY mess in your original room was regretfully left by you and your partner: you used the Beach Towels, you used the hand soap, and you "tried out" the bed ... so the things you may be implying as "unclean" were actually from your initial use of the room!! Furthermore, NO ONE was in your original room after you insisted upon moving to another room - as Housekeeping had already left for the day: that is, until 11:30 pm that night when we moved you back to that room - due to a faulty AC unit. Contrary to anything you have said, we standby and pride ourselves in our standard of Cleanliness, as well as in our Friendly, Courteous and Accommodating Staff ... regardless of the hour of service.

Nice stay at Keniza

Posted 22 Apr 2019 on Hotels
Lolita and Sam make you feel like FAMILY when you stay at Keniza. Lolita did an incredible job communicating with us ahead of our stay about transportation, check-in, etc. Once we arrived, Sam was always there with a big smile ready to help us, telling us about the hotel, the area, things to do, etc. Location of Keniza is perfect for exploring Tulum, everything is just a quick walk down the beach. And the hotel is a great place to unwind at the end of the day or at the beach (without paying exorbitant fees that other hotels in the area charge).
