Secrets Tulum Resort and Beach Club

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.

Playa las Palmas

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.

Rubi Tulum

We absolutely loved our stay at this property! The design is stunning—every corner feels like a work of art, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The panoramic views from the room were breathtaking, especially at sunrise when the ocean stretched endlessly before us. One minor concern: ongoing construction nearby has created dusty, unpaved access roads, which made getting around a bit tricky. Also, noise from workers partying late into the night was disruptive to our sleep—something worth addressing in the near future. That said, these were small issues compared to the overall excellence of the experience. From the ambiance to the service, everything was top-notch. If you're looking for a peaceful yet beautifully designed retreat with an unbeatable sea view, this is definitely worth considering.

Diamante K - Inside Tulum National Park

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.

Unho Tulum

This place is absolutely fantastic—perfect for travelers looking for comfort and value. The room was spotless, well-maintained, and incredibly cozy. The staff went above and beyond with their warm hospitality, making the stay feel personal and welcoming. While it's a bit tricky to find (the location isn't very visible from the main road), once you arrive, you'll instantly understand why it's worth the effort. The setting is serene and beautiful, surrounded by natural charm that makes you feel like you're in a hidden oasis. Despite the slight difficulty locating it, I’d rate this place 10 out of 10 without hesitation. A true gem in Tulum—highly recommended for anyone seeking a peaceful, authentic experience.

Suite Amor Tulum -Onsite Cenote, Temazcal & Spa

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.

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.

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!

Azura Boutique Hotel

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.
