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.

Irie Tulum

This property is absolutely outstanding—every detail reflects thoughtfulness and quality. The staff went above and beyond, always ready to assist with anything we needed, from restaurant recommendations to local tips. The location is fantastic: most of Tulum’s attractions and restaurants are just a 10-minute drive away, and the area around the hotel is already buzzing with new eateries opening up. A major grocery store is within a short 10-minute ride, and the airport is about 40 minutes by car—very convenient for travelers. Our suite was well worth the upgrade: full kitchen, three bathrooms, and plenty of space. It felt like a home away from home, especially with the added comfort and privacy. Highly recommend this gem for anyone looking for a stylish, well-located, and genuinely welcoming stay in Tulum.

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. This was my third time staying with Habitas, and it’s clear why I keep coming back. The atmosphere is serene, the setting is magical, and the attention to detail is unmatched. If you're looking for a peaceful, authentic escape that truly nourishes the soul, this is the place. I’ll definitely be returning and recommending it to everyone I know.

K'Uyen Boutique Hotel

This place feels like a true escape from the everyday hustle. From the moment you step in, you’re greeted with calm and charm—nestled between the beach and main street, it’s perfectly positioned for exploring without sacrificing peace. The property is thoughtfully designed around trees and an open central courtyard, creating a serene atmosphere that’s hard to beat. My room (the Kasa) was stunning—spacious, stylish, with a huge bed, a luxurious shower, a coffee machine, and everything you’d want for a comfortable stay. The rooftop pool and bar area are perfect for unwinding with a drink while soaking in the sunset views. Breakfast was delicious and filling, and the staff went above and beyond—especially Omar, who made every interaction warm and welcoming. It’s rare to find a hotel that nails both comfort and character, but this one absolutely does. I left feeling refreshed and already planning my return. Highly recommend! 🌿

Mezzanine Tulum, a Small Luxury Hotel

Mezzanine Tulum is one of those rare places that makes you wonder, 'Why didn’t we come here sooner?' The location is pure paradise—crisp white sand, swaying palms, and a sea that shifts through more shades of blue than I’ve ever seen in one horizon. Our room was a true masterpiece: thoughtfully designed, warm and inviting, with an unforgettable view of the ocean. Every morning began with the salty breeze and a sense of freedom that’s hard to describe. The Thai restaurant was a delightful surprise—authentic flavors, bold spices, and impeccable service. Honestly, I could have dined there every night without ever getting bored. And then there’s Orchidea—the heart of the experience. Attentive, genuinely kind, always one step ahead of our needs. When we asked for recommendations on where to go next, she suggested other Colibrì properties—and we trusted her implicitly. We’re so glad we did. Mezzanine isn’t just a hotel; it’s a living memory of beauty, taste, and human connection. This is one place I know I’ll return to—because some moments stay with you forever. 💙🌴

LiveTulum

My husband and I stayed for two nights at this charming property, and we absolutely loved it. The room was spacious and beautifully decorated with a modern yet cozy touch. Located in a peaceful area, the hotel is still very convenient—just a short walk to a great café for breakfast and a bike rental shop if you want to explore the town. The Wi-Fi was strong, the air conditioning worked perfectly, and the hot water in the shower was excellent. It’s clear that attention to detail has been put into every aspect of the stay. Highly recommend for anyone looking for comfort and quiet in Tulum.

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.

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.

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!
