The overall stay at the hotel was absolutely delightful. The staff were incredibly attentive and friendly, the food was excellent, and the facilities were beautifully designed with a great vibe.

Staying at Villas Geminis Boutique Condohotel in Tulum was a fantastic experience overall. The room was clean, spacious, and the bed was large and incredibly comfortable—perfect for a restful night’s sleep.

This little gem of a hotel was absolutely charming. We truly enjoyed our stay from start to finish.

This hotel is absolutely charming—feels like a peaceful little oasis surrounded by lush greenery. The location is perfect: just a short walk from the ADO bus station and right in the heart of Tulum’s vibrant area, with plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. My room was thoughtfully equipped with a comfy bed, ample space for luggage, a small table with chairs, a mini kitchenette, a smart TV, reliable hot water, air conditioning, and free filtered water. The manager, Guillermo, went above and beyond—he took time to help me check bus and train schedules, even stored some of my belongings while I visited another city for a few days before returning for my last night in Tulum. I also loved the on-site café; the coffee was rich and aromatic, and the breakfast was fresh and delicious. This place truly stood out for its warmth, convenience, and attention to detail.

Absolutely stunning place! The property is immaculate and perfect for escaping the winter gloom of January.

The staff were incredibly attentive, professional, and discreet, making the whole experience feel truly relaxing and rejuvenating. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, and it’s clear they prioritize guest comfort. This isn’t just a stay—it’s a retreat.

I wouldn't recommend this property. The access code provided for the lockbox didn't work, and when I tried reaching out to the contact person, they never responded. It was only after contacting another representative from the same company that I finally got help. Communication throughout the entire process was poor and frustrating. Additionally, the listing is misleading—advertising proximity to the beach, but in reality, it's quite far away. The unit itself is very small for the price, making it feel overpriced and not worth the money. Overall, a disappointing experience with little value for what you pay.
