We very much liked this hotel. It’s a bit dated and rustic but that adds to the charm. The room was nicely decorated, clean and had a hot shower. One night the water pressure was very low, I think this had to do with a lot of people taking showers. It was not really a problem for us. We ate at the restaurant (Chile picante) two nights and the food was good with vegetarian options. As people wrote in other reviews, there are roosters and dogs who can spoil your night rest. This a town problem and part of the adventure of traveling. Bring earplugs or play music on headphones if the noises bother you. Coba is a nice Mexican town where people live in the traditional Mexican ways and have their animals roaming the streets and yards. There is much more to do in town than we expected. The nice lady at the hotel gave us lots of information (in Spanish). We visited the ruins (easy walk from the hotel) and rented bikes at the entrance to the ruins to bike to cenotes. The ride can be a bit tough due to some hills and the heat but cenotes are worth it. You can also visit a traditional Maya town on the way but unfortunately we didn’t have enough time. Coba is definitely a nice escape from busy Tulum!

The pool rocked, however, the HUGE wall to the west blocked the sun later in the day. Nice rooms with lots of interesting carving. THE GOD DAMN CHURCH next door built 7 days a week from 7:30 am until 9:30 pm everyday. It was RIGHT below my window. Coba is small and the chickens crowing at 5:30 sucked. Great little food stall lady cooking at the street of the restaurant. Great "fast food" chow!!!

the construction next door. the barking dogs. The cackling poultry

Service was execellent, the lady in the reception was very welcoming and friendly. The breakfast was tasty and the food in the restaurant too. Good value for money! Rooms were clean and the pool was nice bonus. Seating areas (the one on the second floor and the one on the yard with hammocks) were nice places to chill. And there were also playing area with toys, which our kids loved!

We liked everything! If you have to mention something, maybe it was the fact that we didn’t have a window in our room (exept the one facing the corridor). It really didn’t bother us cause we didn’t spend so much time in the room, but for some people it may be an issue.

Very comfortable stay. Staff moved us to bigger better room just after check-in. Very personable and accommodating. Large comfortable room. Walking distance or short drive to Coba ruins. Very good restaurant on site. Nice pool and pleasant tropical surroundings. A very good stay and excellent value.

the room and overall facility were very clean, and the owners very friendly. it felt very welcoming. the pool was immaculate and welcome in the heat, and the beverages for sale were ample, so i could always get something good to drink.

the food. i understand the restaurant needs to cater to guests who may not want local fare but i wish there were more options for using fresh local veggies and recipes. i only ate at the restaurant because of convenience. also, the tile floors down the hallway are wayyyyy too slick - it was treacherous with any damp feet coming from the pool.

A real gem in a great location. Ideal for visiting the ruins at Coba and for spending time by the lakes. Pool perfect for cooling off.

The aircon wasn’t the best and there was a power cut over night but that was widespread so hotel not at fault.

This is the hotel recommended by Lonely Planet, although the name in the book is slightly different (Hotel Maya) and think link in the ebook doesn't work. That being said, some of the points there are valid: this is an unbeatable value, very clean hotel, with nice sculpted doors, included breakfast, air conditioning, walking distance to the Coba ruins. Oh, there is a pool as well, however we did not feel like using it with our kids. We arrived relatively late, tired and the pool wasn't that inviting.

It was just a tad noisy around 9-10 PM when we were trying to sleep early. I wish there was off street parking, however I realize that is hard to change. The water pressure in the shower can get incredibly low, probably depending on usage in the hotel. We had dinner at their restaurant, Chile Picante, and we have not been impressed with the food at all. The prices however have been very reasonable, much lower than in Playa del Carmen for instance.

The hotel is awesome. The staff was very helpful. The rooms are spotless and nicely decorated. Big beds. The restaurant up front is good food with good service. Just a short walk from.the ruins.

Hammock area, room decor, towels folded into animal shapes, comfy beds, coffee available in the foyer, breakfast fruit plate, lovely carved bedroom doors, allowed us to check in early, hummingbird sighting in the morning

Looked over a lot of rubbish and rubble behind the church next door, lack of (accurate) information on buses,

Charming traditional Haciénda style property. Well located. Easy parking just outside. Lovely ceramic tiles, beautiful wooden carved doors, big pool. Spacious room. Nice to have coffee and water available. Breakfast exceptionally good. Staff could not have been kinder or more patient. Stone’s throw from an attractive lake and the very interesting Cobá ruins.

Room 8 the tap in the wash basin was just a trickle and while the shower worked it didn’t run hot. The coffee pot needs changing more often and not be allowed to go stale and cold.
