    big festival
    spacious terrace
    limited family activities

    We loved our family trip during the Big Basket festival. The vibrant atmosphere and local crafts added so much joy to our stay. The spacious apartment terrace was perfect for evening chats and relaxing after a day of exploring Tulum.

    My kids wished for a few more activities for families.

    beautiful pool
    cozy kitchen
    spotty wi-fi

    I really enjoyed the beautiful pool area and the cozy shared kitchen where I cooked a few meals during my stay. There are lovely sun loungers by the pool and ample space for relaxing in the garden. While the Wi-Fi could be a bit spotty at times, it didn’t take away from my great experience. 🌞

    clean facilities
    supportive environment
    room inconvenience
    safety concern
    maintenance issue

    The location of the hotel is fantastic, close to everything I wanted to explore. I tried the Gold and Platinum packages for the unique medicines like Bufo, Kambo, and mushrooms. The transformation I experienced was profound, and the staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. They created a safe space for deep personal work, which I truly appreciated. However, during my stay, my check-in was a bit chaotic. I arrived to find my room already occupied and was moved without proper notice. This led to an awkward situation where I had to shift rooms the next day. Security was also a concern as my door was left ajar at times, making me feel uneasy. Additionally, while the shared showers were clean, I faced a scary moment when I got stuck inside due to a faulty latch. Prompt attention to security and maintenance would enhance the overall experience.

    great location
    limited dining options
    lack of variety

    Incredible atmosphere and supportive community

    I had a truly transformative week here, facilitated by a caring staff during my Kambo and Bufo ceremonies. The location strikes a perfect balance between tranquility and accessibility to town and beach, and I loved connecting with fellow travelers who shared similar goals. However, a bit more variety in dining options on-site would enhance the experience.

    central location
    exceptional staff
    beautiful pool
    small room
    poor ventilation

    Bufo Alvarius offers a wonderful blend of serenity and convenience. The location is central, allowing easy access to both the beach and the town. The staff is exceptional, creating a welcoming atmosphere, and the on-site cafe serves delicious meals. Additionally, the shared kitchen is well-equipped for preparing meals, and the pool is beautifully maintained, providing a relaxing retreat after a long day of work.

    The room was quite small and could use better ventilation.

    I had a wonderful 7-night stay at Bufo Alvarius. The location was fantastic, offering easy access to everything yet providing a peaceful atmosphere. The ceremonies I attended were executed with genuine love and care, making me feel extremely safe. A huge thank you to Mario, Lynne, and Esteban for their excellent facilitation.

    great location

    can't wait to go back

    Amazing vibes and a super chill atmosphere! Loved having air conditioning in the double room and a private bathroom. The spa area with the outdoor swimming pool was perfect for relaxing after biking around. The shared kitchen allowed me to whip up my meals whenever I wanted. Such a great location between Tulum Town and the beach!

    nature park
    local dining

    close to parks and amazing local dining options for exploring

    My stay was fantastic, with easy walks to both Dos Aguas Park, perfect for some nature time, and delicious eateries like La Pasadita just a few steps away for tasty meals. the shared kitchen was a nice touch for those who want to whip up their own dishes too, adding a comforting homey feel to my trip, but I did encounter a small issue with room keys, which could be improved for better security and peace of mind.

    great local dining
    lush atmosphere
    comfy vibes
    misleading amenities
    inconsistent water temperature

    Yo, if you're a foodie like me, you gotta check out the nearby eats! Buena Estrella and La Pasadita are where you’ll find some tasty bites. Plus, the vibes at Bufo Alvarius are unmatched—with lush greenery and a chill atmosphere, it really feels like you're in a jungle sanctuary.

    Alright, I’ll spill some tea too. The pool was not as advertised, and the shower temp was all over the place. Just a heads up about that herbal scent lingering around!
