Ether Tulum

My friends and I had such a relaxing time here. Because of the small number of rooms, it feels so private and never crowded! The staff is insanely kind and attentive as well. We stayed in Astra and the decor was very nice, and it’s a short walk to the beach. One thing to note is that there is some construction going on at the moment, but since we weren’t in our rooms during the day, that didn’t bother us much. And it is close to the main road, so some noise pollution from bars nearby is inevitable. The only suggestions we have are maybe adding a couple more mirrors/a full length mirror — 3 girls and 1 mirror was a little tricky. And then maybe a few bath mats in the bathroom. But overall, we really enjoyed our stay and we appreciate the staff for making it a great trip!

Overall we had a fantastic stay at Ether. The staff was very helpful and kind especially Roxanna. She helped us book an amazing tour of Chichen Itza and was always responsive when we needed her. She gave us a bunch of great advice on where to go and what to see. Can't say enough about the beauty here. The grounds are beautiful and it's only a short walk to the beach. It's in a great area with easy access to shops and restaurants. Always felt very safe. There are some things travelers should be aware of. I would not call this a resort or hotel. A bohemian style B&B best describes it and breakfast is not included. There is one Chukum and one Palapa room. The A/C is only on from 7pm to 7am. The electrical grid in this part of Tulum is a bit unreliable and there will be times when the power is shut off. This is mostly during the day. The bar/cafe is open from 9am-6pm and serves breakfast and lunch. The food and drinks at the cafe were great. They will also bring you food and drinks on the beach--again this is not free of charge. We had a great time here and highly recommend it if you're in the mood for more of a bohemian style experience.

The place is peaceful and beautiful We spent 2 nights in the Palm houses. They are original and comfortable. Palms and Trees everywhere outside Direct access to the beach People are very friendly and helpful We had a wonderful journey We recommend the place for couples

At first glance, Hotel Ether appears to be a high-end and stylish place. However, it quickly becomes clear that more effort was put into aesthetics than actual quality. Many things look nice but are either not functional or poorly executed.Examples? The bathtub in the room looks great – but since the drain plug doesn’t seal properly, you can let the water run for hours and still not take a bath. The bathroom faucet is so loose that every time you use it, you worry it might come off in your hand. Unfortunately, this hotel is not built for real quality but rather for quick profit. It aims to be in the same price range as the best hotels in the area – just not when it comes to craftsmanship and durability. On top of that, our room was right next to a busy main road, making it extremely loud with constant noise from motorcycles, cars, and parties. Depending on what you’re looking for, this might not be ideal at all. One positive note: The tropical gardens leading to the beach are beautifully designed – we have to give the hotel credit for that.
