This hotel is absolutely stunning—every detail feels intentional and luxurious. The cleanliness and maintenance are top-notch, and the room itself was unlike anything I've ever experienced: a private pool right in the room! It’s such a unique and refreshing touch. Thomas at the bar knows his craft—he made some incredible cocktails that elevated our evenings. Samsara restaurant delivered exceptional food with thoughtful options and excellent service. The morning coffee was an absolute highlight—rich, aromatic, and perfectly brewed. I loved the long infinity-style pool stretching from front to back of the property, beautifully kept by the pool attendant who regularly cleared debris. On-site wellness amenities like spa treatments, yoga sessions, ice baths, and sound healing sessions made this feel like a true retreat. Every moment felt relaxing and intentional. This place isn’t just a stay—it’s an experience. 10/10, would return in a heartbeat.
My stay at Xperience Tulum was absolutely wonderful. The beds and pillows were incredibly comfortable—so soft I barely wanted to get out of them. The pool area is pure paradise, with crystal-clear water blending perfectly with the turquoise sky and lush surroundings. I had a little accident while riding a bike and ended up tearing my meniscus. The staff went above and beyond to help—I was shocked by how genuinely concerned they were. They even lent me their personal phone so I could contact my family. From front desk to housekeeping, every team member showed kindness and care. It’s rare to find such thoughtful, warm hospitality. This isn’t just a hotel—it feels like a home away from home. I’d return in a heartbeat and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful, authentic experience in Tulum.
The welcome was exceptional, and the staff provided excellent information about the local area. The apartment was in superb condition with incredibly comfortable bedding—sleeping here was a true delight. The pool is right outside the door, and despite being so close to nature, it's remarkably quiet, far from the noisy beach clubs. They also handed us a well-curated list of activities and restaurants at reception, which made planning our days so easy. This place felt like a hidden gem—perfect for travelers seeking tranquility, comfort, and a genuine connection to the region. A truly wonderful discovery that exceeded all expectations.
Staying at Alma de Flores was an absolute delight—warm, intimate, and perfect for couples or families seeking a personal touch. The staff went above and beyond with kindness and genuine hospitality, making us feel right at home. The private pools were a true luxury; I spent hours soaking in the calm, surrounded by lush greenery. As a pet owner, I was especially happy to find the property pet-friendly—no stress, just peace of mind. Rooms were spacious, comfortable, and wonderfully quiet, ideal for a restful night's sleep. The front desk team was incredibly helpful, crafting a custom day itinerary with great recommendations for things to do in Tulum and cool spots to hang out with friends. Nighttime security was reliable and constant, which gave me confidence leaving my car parked on-site. And the breakfast? Simple but outstanding—every bite tasted like it came straight from a dream. If you're looking for a relaxing, authentic getaway with top-notch service and a touch of magic, this place is a must-visit.
This place is absolutely breathtaking—the photos don’t even come close to capturing the calm and serenity I felt the moment I stepped in. The pool area is stunning, with a cozy poolside restaurant and spa just steps away. I did yoga one morning at sunrise in the yoga tower, and it was such a peaceful, rejuvenating experience. Every evening, I’d unwind in the outdoor tub—it was pure bliss. And the best part? There’s a private cenote tucked behind the property, only for guests, offering a truly magical escape. My only wish was that the restaurant stayed open for dinner on nights when I didn’t feel like leaving the property. But honestly, that’s just a tiny detail. This stay was unforgettable—highly recommend for anyone seeking peace, beauty, and a touch of paradise.
The Secrets Tulum Resort and Beach Club has a promising concept, but the reality falls short in several areas. The main pool area feels more like a kiddie splash zone than a functional lounge space—more for kids than adults. Drinks served at the on-site bars don’t match the quality expected from a Secrets property, which is disappointing given the brand’s reputation. The beach club experience is also hindered by long transfers—expect to spend 30 to 60 minutes just getting there and back, which cuts into relaxation time. Overall, it feels more tailored to younger travelers looking for a vibrant, casual vibe rather than a refined, relaxing escape. If you’re okay with the commute and don’t mind a less polished atmosphere, it still offers a unique tropical setting. But if comfort and seamless service are priorities, this might not be the best fit.
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.
I absolutely love the food here—every dish is delicious, and I can't get enough of the hibiscus margarita! The staff are incredibly friendly and always going the extra mile to make your stay enjoyable. I come back every chance I get, and I’d highly recommend trying the menu items—they’re all fantastic. What really stands out is the dedicated kids’ area; it’s a huge plus if you're traveling with family. My kids had a blast, and I could relax knowing they were safe and entertained. The location is perfect—close to the beach and just a short ride into Tulum town. This place offers an unbeatable mix of great food, warm hospitality, and family-friendly amenities. Definitely a top pick for anyone looking for a memorable getaway.
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!
Staying at Azura Boutique Hotel was an absolute delight, especially the two-bedroom apartment which felt like a spacious home away from home. From the moment we walked in, the air-conditioned living area welcomed us with generous space—two sofas and a large dining table for six fit perfectly into this open, airy room. The TV worked flawlessly, and I appreciated being able to plug in my USB device. Free Wi-Fi was strong and reliable throughout our stay. Both bedrooms were comfortably air-conditioned, with plush beds and pillows that made for excellent sleep. Each room came with its own en-suite bathroom featuring powerful showers and 24-hour hot water—no cold surprises here. There’s also a well-stocked vanity with extra toiletries, a chest of drawers, and a built-in wall unit with ample storage for clothes and luggage. Even better, there’s an additional drawer space for anything else you might bring along. Plus, fresh towels, clean bedding, and a safe were provided—storage wasn’t an issue at all. The kitchen is fully equipped if you want to cook or self-cater: gas stove, fridge, microwave, plates, cutlery, cups, and a coffee machine with complimentary pods and tea bags delivered daily. Though a kettle would’ve been nice, everything else was top-notch. What really stood out was the daily cleaning—towels, linens, soaps, shampoos, toilet paper, lotions, and kitchen surfaces were all refreshed every day. My son and his girlfriend stayed in the smaller one-bedroom unit (no kitchen), but it was still very spacious and well-appointed with AC, Wi-Fi, TV, mini-fridge, coffee machine, and even a fold-out sofa bed when needed. The hotel’s location is unbeatable—just 200 meters from Tulum’s main street, with a local Oxxo store right across the road. The rooftop features two charming little plunge pools and is the only designated smoking area—perfect for relaxing with a drink while enjoying the view. Staff spoke limited English but were always friendly and eager to help, whether arranging taxis or planning excursions. Yes, the price is on the higher side—around £170–200 per night for the two-bedroom, and £140–150 for the single bedroom—but honestly, it was worth every penny. This place feels special, thoughtfully designed, and incredibly well-maintained. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for comfort, privacy, and a touch of luxury in Tulum.
This compact yet perfectly curated hotel delivers big on charm and convenience. I booked through a platform—its pricing was unbeatable compared to the Marriott website, making it a no-brainer. The all-inclusive rate covered everything: meals, drinks, and even late-night snacks, so I could enjoy every moment without worrying about extra costs. Located just steps from downtown Tulum, I was able to walk to major supermarkets in minutes—perfect for grabbing essentials or souvenirs. The vibe is fresh, modern, and full of personality, with staff who go above and beyond. It’s rare to find such a well-rounded experience at this price point. Definitely a standout choice if you’re looking for comfort, value, and easy access to local life.
Thank you, Alfredo, for your exceptional service! The property is absolutely stunning—beautifully designed with a serene atmosphere that truly captures the essence of Tulum. The food is incredible, with delicious dishes that cater to vegans, making it a great choice for travelers with diverse dietary preferences. Our server was incredibly kind and attentive throughout our visit. Whether you're traveling with friends or family, this place is highly recommended. It’s not just a hotel—it’s a memorable experience from start to finish. I’ll definitely be returning.
