Aldea Kuká, Luxury Eco Boutique Hotel

If you’re used to 5 star service you’re going to be let down. I booked this hotel because the rooms looked beautifully decorated and modern for a remote island. Was pleasantly surprised by the cirque show that happens nightly at 8pm. Was really nice to be entertained during dinner. All of the staff at the restaurants and cafe were very attentive. Where this hotel fell short was daily cleaning of the rooms and restocking of items in the mini bar/ coffee. Not replacing towels even when we followed instructions. No thorough cleaning of the restroom or shower during the stay. There was loud construction in the morning to afternoon that was happening 2 days out of our 4 day stay. Also please double check you don’t leave anything in the room upon departure as it seems they don’t have a post office on the island in order to ship out anything left behind?

Beautiful Hotel with great and extremely friendly staff. Shout out to the reception team, Nacho and Francisco for making our stay exceptional.

Second time here in a month and we loved it. The room had a ton of space, the pool is great, and the drinks are fantastic.

The staff are the best of Holbox The location is the best of Holbox The prices are the highest of Holbox The rooms are not the prettiest of Holbox - that was disappointing

The facility is very nice. Staff is extremely friendly. Some rules such as no outside beer allowed on the beach when 3/4 of the selection offered was unavailable! Seems extreme. We order al lobster pizza prices at 1026 pesos assuming it’s a nice place it should be good…. Was disgusting, frozen crust and gross disappointed with that for sure.

A wonderful 4 night stay, the staff were all so lovely and helpful. Hotel is beautiful, quiet but a 15min walk to the town. Would definitely recommend and hope to be back soon. My only feedback would not too charge extra for a cappuccino for breakfast, things like that go a long way.

The property was situated in an ideal spot on the beach, beautiful walking and views of the ocean. The hotel itself is well appointed and looked very picturesque. The downside was there was absolutely no noise buffering, every night and every morning sounded like a rugby match being played upstairs. ( as late as 11pm and early as 7 am) When I complained to the front desk on my 2nd morning and asked to switch rooms- they said they would talk to the room above mine and kinda just dismissed my issue. nothing changed, the rugby match continued . Also, on my first night, a giant cockroach was climbing down from the curtains, added stressor for sleep. The hotel also experienced frequent power outages.. I ended up leaving the property several days early because of the noise issues and only upon telling them I was checking out did they offer to give me a different room- but after four night of very little sleep and poor sleep at that, I would rather fly all the way home then take a chance on another room. While the staff were very friendly, it did little to alleviate my concerns. The restaurant food was subpar. For the prices they were charging, I would expect chips to be not soggy, cheese pizza to be somewhat edible, and at least some local dishes on the menu. This is a hotel for an American who wants an American experience and will eat swill with no complaint. There is no local flavor to be appreciated. I wouldn’t stay here again.

While the property is phenomenal, the service and hotel policies are unfortunately the opposite. - A US$1,000 deposit is required at check in. This is absolutely ridiculous amount for what this hotel offers. Not even the Four Seasons asks for this much! - Debit cards are not accepted for deposits. Only credit cards. All other hotels accept this without question. It is actual cash at hand! - Food and items at the hotel boutique shop is way overpriced and does not do justice for the quality that is offered. Ie. a pizza was US$44! A straw hat US$300! Insane! These guys think they are in the maldives or something - We felt like staff was trained to forget about what customer service really means and focus more in to how do we profit the most from guests. Ie. No juice refill at breakfast and portions of fruit and yogurt were probably smaller than kids size. Anything extra would incur in an additional charge. The whole time felt like they were monitoring every single drop that guests had. Very disturbing. Zero tact and no clue about customer service. - Every time they would bring a bill, it would be printed with a "suggested" total with 15% tip included. Although this practice is common in other places, particularly the US, this is not appropriate. Gratuity should always be optional and discretionary based on quality of service. Never to be imposed and demanded. We will not stay here again and we'd rather pay more to be at another where they know how to treat a guest.

Loved this hotel! The rooms and hotel were so beautiful!! But the best part had to be the beach access the sandbanks started from our hotel and the view was just magical. I truly can't wait to go back! We drove by all the hotels near by and this was by far the best one, so happy with our decision in staying here!
