Una Vida
The location couldn’t be better—just steps from downtown Tulum, perfect for exploring the area on foot or hopping on a quick ride. Samy at reception was truly exceptional—friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The hotel itself is gorgeous, with a calm, inviting atmosphere and excellent security that gave us peace of mind throughout our stay. The only minor downside was a small charge for makeup left on the towels, but honestly, it’s such a tiny detail and the overall experience far outweighs it. If you’re looking for a stylish, safe, and centrally located spot in Tulum without sacrificing comfort, this place is a top pick. Highly recommend!

This place is absolutely fantastic—just a short walk from the beach, making it incredibly convenient for those who love easy access to the sea. The villa complex is located in Tulum’s most vibrant area, and everything about it screams quality: clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed down to the smallest detail. While the price is on the higher side, it’s completely worth every penny. One thing I’d suggest improving is the nighttime security service—more patrols or surveillance would add extra peace of mind. Overall, this is a top-tier stay and highly recommended. If you're looking for comfort, location, and a touch of luxury in Tulum, this is the spot.

Playa Selva
We stayed for three nights with our two teens (18 and 16), and the whole family absolutely loved it! We booked a Maya Cabaña, which comfortably sleeps four to five people—spacious, stylish, and full of local charm. The direct access to the beach was a game-changer: crystal-clear water, soft white sand, and such a peaceful atmosphere. It’s perfectly located—just a short walk to restaurants, shops, and attractions, yet far enough from the noise and crowds. The vibe is relaxed, authentic, and incredibly welcoming. Whether you're traveling with family or friends, this place delivers an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!
Dreams Tulum Resort & Spa
The resort overall was an excellent experience—beautiful setting, great location, and friendly staff. However, there were a few areas that could use improvement. Several restaurants only opened on a rotating basis, with just two available daily, so we couldn’t try all the dining options. That said, it’s disappointing for a property of this caliber. More concerning was the cleanliness issue near our room—guests from the adjacent unit kept ordering meals, and leftover food was left in the hallway for days. A fork remained on the stairs for four full days with no one picking it up. The poolside snack bar served burgers and light bites for one day but was completely closed for two others while we were at the pool. Instead of service, we found scattered food remnants where birds were feeding, and no staff appeared to clean up. Only late in the afternoon did someone show up to collect the trash—but they didn’t even wipe down the counters or clean the grills. These lapses are hard to overlook for a resort that markets itself as top-tier. Despite these shortcomings, the rest of the stay was fantastic. With tighter operational oversight, this place could easily be flawless.

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.
