My stay at Papaya Playa Project was absolutely unforgettable. From the moment I arrived, the vibe was unlike anything else—a perfect blend of nature, art, and contemporary design that instantly set the tone. The room was immaculate, with authentic decor that captured the hotel’s bohemian yet sophisticated essence. The event hosted by Jan Blomqvist was the cherry on top—vibrant music, creative installations, and an atmosphere charged with energy and freshness. Lighting, layout, and overall ambiance created a truly magical experience. The private pool overlooking the ocean, plus the thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces and common areas, made it easy to unwind and disconnect from everyday life. Staff were attentive without being overbearing, ensuring everything flowed smoothly. This place isn’t just a hotel—it’s a destination for those seeking both relaxation and unforgettable moments. If you're looking for a unique escape where luxury, nature, and art come together, this is it. Highly recommend.

The staff went above and beyond with their warm hospitality—so friendly and genuinely helpful! They gave us great recommendations for local restaurants and the best spots to hit the beach. It felt like having a personal travel guide right there at the hotel. The location is perfect for exploring Tulum, and everything we needed was just a short walk away. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting.

This place completely exceeded my expectations! From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive—so friendly and helpful. Located right in the heart of the party zone, it's super convenient for exploring the area and getting around. The pricing was great for what you get, especially considering the location. Food and drinks were top-notch—really delicious and well-prepared. Whether you're traveling with family or looking to party hard, this villa has it all. The vibe is relaxed yet energetic, and everything felt clean and well-maintained. I’d absolutely stay here again and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Tulum.

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.

While it’s a bit off the beaten path, the location feels secluded and private, making it ideal for those wanting to disconnect. The vibe is effortlessly cool, and every detail feels intentional. If you're looking for a unique, memorable experience, this place delivers on all fronts.

We absolutely loved our stay at this gem of a hotel! The rooms were spotless, cozy, and beautifully designed—perfect for unwinding. The hosts were incredibly warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The property itself is stunning, with a serene, secluded vibe yet just a short drive from downtown Tulum. Waking up to the sound of roosters and jungle birds was such a unique and peaceful experience. And don’t miss the fresh coffee available daily on the upper level—it’s the perfect way to start the day. It’s clear that attention to detail and guest comfort are top priorities here. If you’re looking for a tranquil, authentic getaway in Tulum, this is definitely the place to be.

We stayed just one night at Mamasan Treehouses & Cabins in Tulum, Mexico, and it was an unforgettable experience. The staff member Bruno went above and beyond by offering us a complimentary upgrade to the highest room—such a thoughtful surprise! The view from our room was absolutely breathtaking, with lush jungle canopy stretching as far as the eye could see. We woke up to birdsong and fresh air, feeling completely connected to nature. The service was warm, attentive, and genuinely personal. Every detail—from the cozy space to the peaceful atmosphere—made our stay incredibly pleasant. It’s not just a place to sleep; it’s a true retreat. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a serene, authentic getaway in Tulum.

Staying at Moots Tulum was an absolutely fantastic experience overall. The hotel location is perfect—close to the beach and surrounded by beautiful scenery, making it ideal for relaxation and exploration. Everything about the property was excellent: clean rooms, great staff, and a lovely atmosphere. The only minor note is that the gym could use a bit more attention in terms of maintenance, but it’s not a dealbreaker at all. That said, transportation in Tulum is a real challenge—taxis are outrageously expensive. Just one-way from the airport to the hotel cost $1,700, and round-trip would be even more. Moving around town is similarly pricey. We ended up using Uber, which was much more affordable. Renting a car for 5 days and 4 nights came to $4,600, which is steep, but still better than relying on taxis. If you're planning to explore the area, I’d definitely recommend booking a rental car or using ride-sharing apps in advance. Despite the transport headaches, the hotel itself is outstanding—highly recommend for anyone visiting Tulum.

Staying at Mistiq Luxury Condo was an absolute highlight of our trip to Tulum. We especially want to thank Oscar for going above and beyond—he was incredibly helpful, always available to assist with planning excursions, and shared some fantastic local tips that really enhanced our experience. From hidden beach spots to authentic local eateries, his recommendations were spot-on. The location is perfect—close to everything we wanted to see and do, and the convenience of public transit made getting around a breeze. This place offers incredible value for the quality and service. We can’t recommend it enough and are already planning our return visit!

I absolutely loved my stay at Roc Luxe Tulum! The property is stunning, with a beautifully designed pool that offers breathtaking views of the ocean—especially during sunset, it’s pure magic. The staff at the front desk and the bartender were incredibly welcoming and attentive, making the entire experience feel personal and special. Every detail, from the ambiance to the service, was top-notch. It’s clear this place is built for relaxation and luxury. I can’t recommend it highly enough—10/10 in every way, and I’ll definitely be back.

Staying at Xamira Tulum was an absolute delight. Located just a 5-minute walk from the main street, it's perfectly positioned—close enough to explore local shops and restaurants, yet tucked away in a peaceful, quiet neighborhood. The front desk staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful, and the internet connection was fast and reliable. What stood out most was the friendly vibe from both the staff and neighbors—everyone seemed genuinely kind and warm. It felt like home from the moment we arrived. I’d highly recommend this condo to anyone visiting Tulum—it’s a gem!

Our stay at Atman Residences Tulum was absolutely delightful from start to finish. The staff were incredibly warm and helpful, always ready to assist with any questions or requests—truly made us feel welcome. One small suggestion: a more thorough inspection of the villas upon check-in would be great, as there were minor cleaning details that could’ve been improved. That said, any little issue we noticed was addressed immediately, showing how committed they are to guest satisfaction. The location is perfect, the vibe is relaxed yet luxurious, and the overall experience was outstanding. Definitely a place I’d return to without hesitation.
