The on-site restaurant truly stood out; every meal was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared with authentic regional ingredients.

My stay at Our Habitas Tulum was absolutely incredible—truly one of the most memorable experiences I've had.

A huge thank you to Hannibal at the front desk for his thoughtful hospitality, and to Andres for the breathtaking breathwork and sound journey session—I felt completely rejuvenated afterward.

Staying at Biwa Tulum was a delightful experience overall. The staff were warm and welcoming, the atmosphere was peaceful, and the rooms were clean and well-maintained—really nice for a relaxing getaway.

I’ve always worked my way up from 3-star stays to luxury hotels over the years, and this past weekend trip was no exception—especially since I was being mindful of post-Christmas spending. That’s why I decided to take a chance on Kore Tulum Retreat despite all the negative reviews online. Honestly, those one-star ratings feel completely unfair. The rooms were spacious, spotlessly clean, and incredibly comfortable. The location offered stunning sea views and a peaceful vibe—perfect for unwinding. I only had breakfast since I love exploring local spots, so I can’t speak much to the overall food quality. But the staff were excellent: as soon as I sat down, my coffee was poured. Once they noticed I tipped, I never had to wait in line for my omelets—haha! The real highlight was Victor, the front desk concierge. He looked like he stepped out of a Mexican soap opera and was consistently kind, helpful, and attentive. When I checked out with a late flight, he remembered I loved biking and let me keep my access bracelet until my shuttle arrived. That small gesture made a big difference. Yes, English-speaking staff were limited—something I experienced throughout Tulum—but it wasn’t unique to this property. If judged by strict AAA standards, this place might earn a 3–3.5 star rating, but most booking platforms would likely give it a solid 4. It’s not a Hyatt, but it delivers great value for what you get. Don’t let the one-star reviews scare you off—this is a genuinely nice stay if you’re looking for a calm, adults-only retreat with good service and a lovely ocean outlook.

Absolutely fantastic stay! The hotel is beautifully located within Tulum National Park, offering a peaceful and authentic experience. Every detail was well thought out, from the cozy rooms to the warm staff. The only minor downside is the mandatory park entry fee charged each time you exit and re-enter between 9 AM and 5 PM—something to be aware of if you plan on coming and going frequently. But overall, this is such a unique and serene getaway, and the location alone makes it worth every penny. Highly recommend for nature lovers and those seeking a tranquil escape.
