Casa Malca
I’ve been back from Tulum for almost a week now, and yet every time I pause between meetings, my mind drifts back to the unforgettable moments at Casa Malca. This was a spontaneous trip—no long planning, no detailed research. I’d browsed through luxury hotels, those with top-tier service, and highly rated properties, but none really spoke to me. Then I stumbled upon Casa Malca on Xiaohongshu—a few posts, but the photos immediately stood out. It wasn’t flashy or mainstream. Instead, it felt like a quiet museum by the sea: minimalist, artistic, deeply atmospheric. There was something about it that screamed ‘escape’—and I knew instantly, this was the one. I booked three nights on the spot. Driving two hours from Cancún, I arrived tired and still carrying the weight of city life. I walked into the property with my guard up, still in serious mode. But as I made my way toward the lobby, the vibe shifted—calm, mysterious, immersive. And then came Yair, the front desk staff, whose warm, genuine smile (and striking looks!) instantly melted my stress. He greeted me like an old friend. This trip was actually for my birthday—a solo celebration—and the hotel had arranged a room upgrade and thoughtful touches I hadn’t even expected. It felt less like a booking and more like being welcomed into a private sanctuary. The breakfast was unreal: a perfectly cooked egg white omelette bursting with fresh, vibrant vegetables, beautifully presented. Even though I don’t usually eat pastries, the staff brought over a slice of carrot cake—so moist and rich, I ended up loving it. The pool area is stunningly designed, intimate, and full of character. Casa Malca feels tailor-made for weddings or small gatherings—there’s a real sense of privacy and ownership. But what truly made the experience special was Yair. His kindness wasn’t performative—it was real, thoughtful, and full of heart. In an age where hotels are competing on design and amenities, it’s the human touch that lingers. That authentic warmth? That’s the secret ingredient. Casa Malca isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a moment of peace, beauty, and joy. I’ll carry this memory with me long after the sun has set on Tulum.
Hotelito Azul
Staying at Hotelito Azul in Tulum was an absolute highlight of my trip. The location is unbeatable—right on the beach with easy access to the sand and sea. My bungalow was spacious, beautifully designed, and offered a perfect balance of comfort and privacy. The staff were incredibly welcoming and always ready to help, whether it was recommending local spots or just offering a warm smile. There are several restaurants and a small supermarket nearby, so you don’t need to go far for food or essentials. It’s clear this place cares about guest experience—clean, well-maintained, and full of charm. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxed, authentic stay in Tulum.
Hotel Muaré
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. The only minor downside is that getting out for dinner or exploring nearby areas requires a car, and transportation options in Tulum can be quite expensive. That said, once you're inside the property, everything you need is right there—so it's easy to just relax and enjoy the experience. If you're looking for a peaceful, well-run retreat with top-notch service and charm, this place is definitely worth considering.
Casa Zaba
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at CASA ZABA. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful—Myriam went above and beyond to assist us with everything, from recommendations to daily arrangements. The location is peaceful and tucked away, yet just a short walk or quick ride away from amazing restaurants like Nomade and BeTulum. Surrounded by lush greenery, it felt like a private oasis. We truly felt relaxed and pampered throughout our visit. If you're looking for a serene, authentic experience in Tulum with great hospitality and a touch of paradise, this place is a must-try.

Coco Unlimited
We stayed in a beachfront room that comfortably accommodated four of us. The view was absolutely stunning, and the room itself was spacious and well-designed. The beach is excellent—no seaweed to worry about, which made our time by the water much more enjoyable. Having breakfast barefoot on the sand was a highlight; it felt so relaxed and special. The hotel’s beach club was peaceful and quiet—the music was just right, not too loud at all. Everything about this stay exceeded our expectations. We’d definitely come back again.

This place lived up to every expectation—exactly as described. The location is fantastic, with plenty of nearby shops and restaurants within walking distance. Luis, the property manager, was incredibly helpful and welcoming, making our stay seamless from start to finish. Everything was spotless and well-maintained throughout the property. The pool water was pleasantly warm, but the breezy rooftop area provided perfect relief from the heat. The overall atmosphere is serene and beautifully designed, blending modern comfort with a touch of local charm. It’s an absolutely gorgeous spot with outstanding value for money. I’d definitely return and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Tulum.
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.
Amansala Resort
Staying at Amansala Resort in Tulum was an absolute delight. The location is perfect—serene and peaceful, yet just a short stroll from the vibrant beach clubs and lively nightlife if you're in the mood to explore. The resort itself feels like a hidden oasis, with thoughtfully designed rooms that blend seamlessly into the natural surroundings. I loved waking up to the sound of waves and the gentle breeze through the open-air spaces. The food and drinks were exceptional—fresh, flavorful, and full of local inspiration. Whether you're looking for a quiet retreat or a bit of adventure by the sea, this place hits all the right notes. Truly a memorable experience.

The value for money is outstanding—this place offers a premium experience without the premium price. I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting Tulum looking for a peaceful yet convenient stay. Would definitely come back.
Maison Tulum
This hotel is absolutely charming—feels like a peaceful little oasis surrounded by lush greenery.

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. I’d happily stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Tulum.
