We will be staying there starting March 16th.
Nice restaurant/deck on the beach that is idyllic.
Thanks for help, your website is by far the most helpful out there.
They are located near Gitanos & Casa Jaguar which both have a great atmosphere and parties (one on Thursday nights, the other on Friday nights). Sky Villas at Azulik offer great ocean breezes and that combined with your current tolerance for humidity, you should be just fine with the heat. Hello David, me and my bofriend will go in Tulum for 1 week in August.
As for the seaweed it hasnt been bad this year but there has been a little happening over the past month or so.
Viento looks amazing especially the room, but pretty quiet or away from everyone based on pictures (is that true?)
This resort is known for its calm Caribbean waters and green turtle population, making it an oasis for snorkeling.
It looks like its pretty new. Thanks in advance for your help and input! Online reviews are great, with many thumbs up for the excellent beach location. Id love to find a place where we can stay in a little cabana right on the beach.
If you are looking for something different or want to be right in Tulum (which I recommend), there are a few adults-only hotels along the beach zone. It has a very nice beach and you can also use their beach chairs and order from the restaurant and bar throughout the day if youd like a change of beach scenery throughout your trip.
In your opinion what stretch of beach is the best in Tulum? If you are not, it is still a beautiful sanctuary and close to many other hotels and restaurants.
Google just comes up with past New Years festivals in Tulum but nothing is showing for this year.
Yikes!
Its spacious rooms feature outdoor terraces, a balcony, or a hot tub.
What would be your favorite suggestions?
The clothing-optional beach is a beautiful and well-maintained, albeit small.
It also means if youre biking from the beach that you have to go all the way through town and thus makes the ride a little bit longer.
This page is a mine of information thank you so much!
Any thoughts?
This post is our running list of the best Tulum hotels, with options for every budget and style of travel. The beach is even more beautiful than Manuel Antonio the white sand and long stretches of beach make it much better. Trying to figure out what is the right mix of high-end (boutique/amenities) with a fun scene.
Our dates: 30 Mach to 7 April, school break which means that prices are inflated. Thank you so much for your response! We are going to spend 3 days in PDC and 4 days in Tulum. My hubby & i are looking at going to Tulum in February to celebrate our 14th wedding anniversary (we got married in Puerto Vallarta!)
Its at the far south end of the Tulum beach but its still a comfortable ride for most people (say, about 30 minutes). Nicer places will take credit cards (e.g. Thanks for all the info.
Is there a place at the ruins to leave a bike?
Punta Piedra is on a little cove of beach that is great (but youre not taking walks along the beach from here as its not part of the long stretch of beach to the south).
Purified water is standard for life in Tulum so you shouldnt have a problem.
Were looking to go first week of Sept is that thick of hurricane season and worst time ever? Cheers! Hip Hotel is another one with a great beach, low key and good location.
Xel-ha is essentially a huge natural waterpark set in a lagoon and smaller cenotes.
Some great choices in town are Don Diego de la Selva (beautiful gardens, small pool, breakfast included, and an apiary with Mayan bees that dont have stingers), Teetotum (retro-60s vibe, plunge pool, live music, great bar), and Villas Geminis (full apartments, pool, and day trips to their temazcal/yoga retreat in the jungle). Suenos is slightly more upscale and has a pool. Do you have any thoughts on Be Tulum v. Coral?
Are the beaches outside these hotels typically swimmable in late March?
There are fewer bars in this area than there are near La Zebra, so nights are a little bit quieter. Villa Pescadores is nice but the location is not great for restaurants (though it is walking distance from the ruins).
My wife and I are planning a romantic trip to Tulum in early June and Ive narrowed things down to two places.
The place to be in Tulum on Sunday nights when they offer free salsa lessons followed by salsa dancing. Convert some money to make things a little simpler and get the most for your money.
Basically we want to be able to walk directly out on to the beach with a hammock, lazy chairs and not feel like were in a regular hotel, but at same time need aircon good food etc. We are going to Tulum in the first week of march (very excited!!)
That being said, Im worried about safety and transportation from smaller, lesser known places. Regardless of where I stay, if I rent a bike, where could I leave/lock it? We can go more or less rustic, as long as he can get done what he needs and I have something to keep me occupied. 1. Not a huge difference in distance from town (about 5 more minutes on bike to get to Nomade). January is the peak high season in Tulum so prices are higher then than the rest of the year.
They have swings overlooking the ocean and are right on the sand.
Azulik is a unique, adults only hotel but has limited on-site amenities.
Buses: Take the ADO bus from the Cancun Airport to Playa del Carmen.
In- and outbound will be through Cancun.
Love your site!
Is the ocean fun and safe to play in?
Hotel phone: +52 1 984 131 1596
Hemingway and Amansala are right beside each other and are more central than Hip (and much closer to town).
You can also grab a bike from the resort and explore the surrounding areas.
The long pool is very solid, and the friendly staff will bring you poolside service.
Your blog is amazing!
From all-inclusive hotels, family resorts, and all-inclusive adults-only resorts, Tulum has it all. I love to travel, and am usually fairly good at planning travel, but Ive never planned anything international, and there are so many options, I am not sure I can make a decision in a timely manner.
Each one is unique and it is quite an experience to explore those. There are lounge chairs, grass and great lush plants and trees that make it feel like you are in your own private oasis.
Of course, that doesnt mean its a bad hotel (reviewers can be critical for lots of reasons, and everyone has their own standards), but it definitely does mean there are other hotels in Tulum with higher ratings.
We loved the look of Zamas, but some recent reviews mentioned needing to wear water shoes because of coral.
The tents are on a raised platform, have 2 double beds or 1 king bed, and have access to hot showers just back from the tents. Be prepared for anything.
Azulik is a fashion-forward hotel with an avant-garde restaurant and an experimental design concept. Thank you for your excellent work here, Dave. Mezzanine is a hip, nice hotel with AC and very good on site restaurant.
Hi Dave, a friend stayed at Casa Malca and recommended it is it a good hotel with a nice beach and close to restaurants (Arca, Gitano, Casa Jaguar)?
The restaurant at La Zebra is also very good (especially the soups) and has a nice wide berth on the beach which is great for families that want to sit around and eat and drink all day.
Everything is an easy bike ride along the beach road its flat and a shady relaxing ride. We are planning a trip to Tulum for next December. We loved the location and decided to book Be Tulum but a week prior they told us they will be having some loud noises during our stay We want something luxurious, hip, trendy, sophisticated with ac if we decide to forego our Be Tulum stay. Sueos Tulum also offers complimentary breakfast, a yoga studio, fire pit, pool, and restaurant.
It takes about 10 minutes to get from one to the other.
: Staying in town and visiting beaches by taxi, or staying on the beach? Thank you!
Hi Dave,
They also have nightime activities that are lit by torches and fire.
Nomade seems a bit far from town. Hotel website Check prices for Be Tulum, Elegant boutique hotel of contemporary luxury surrounded by lush greenery on the outskirts of the Tulum Pueblo.
Concerned about the environmental impact of your visit to Tulum?
Tulum is walkable in the beach zone and the Pueblo (downtown); most people use bicycles for longer distances in the day time or take taxis at night, since the beach zone doesnt have street lights. Thank you in advance for your thoughts!
If you choose Playa, check out Mahekal (on the beach) and Live Aqua (in downtown) hotels, which are both easily walkable to restaurants, bars, and the Quinta Avenida shops; for Tulum look into Mezzanine in the beach zone or Una Vida in the Pueblo.
TIA!
I am so worry to be disappointing. Its a highly rated hotel in Tulum. It is a nice hotel. Hotels book very early for Tulum it gets more popular every year and you need to book as early as possible. The cabanas and casistas look to be a fun option for us. Generally speaking, the area is gay friendly and welcoming. My travel companion had to cancel and now Im nervously solo.
Disclosure: Travel Lemming is an independent reader-supported blog. Be Tulum also boasts two restaurants, a raw food bar, beach bar, yoga studio, meditation classes, and a spa.
It is also a little cooler as it is protected a bit from the sun by building (only two stories though) and lush vegetation. That would help me to narrow my hotel search.
Thanks!
It isnt quite as expensive as Mezzanine or Coral Tulum.
Which has the best playa and sea?
This resort is the perfect place to spend time with family, friends, or even by yourself and boasts amenities and various activities for everyone to enjoy.
We Are a family of six (four kids) planning a trip to Yucatan and Belize (maybe Tikal).
For your budget conscious guests, Ahau actually offers a couple of affordable rooms (around $100 a night), but they book up fast.
So I will add to the hoard.
Posada Punta Piedra will provide the most restaurant options within a short walking distance.
Ana y Jose is in the middle of the pack for distance from Tulum, so yes, its a comfortable bike ride from town. This is the bohemian beach sister hotel to Coco Hacienda. Nomade is a bit farther down the beach road (away from town).
Yes, you will definitely get better value staying in Tulum town rather than at the beach.
Do they exist? Hotel website Check prices for Alaya, Stylish boutique hotel in the brand new Aldea Zama neighborhood, halfway between the Pueblo and the beach.
Both look great. Nomade
I cant vouch for every hotel but most will switch to backup water when the main source is unpleasant. Hey, no pressure in choosing, though.
Bateys is an awesome mojito bar in town that has live music every night of the week but is more laid back.
Hi! Ahau is a very unique hotel with lots of character. Ive red a lot, thank you so much for your kindness! Coco has more restaurants that are within a short walk.
CoCo is a great hotel, you will be very happy with it.
Melissa Curtin. All rooms include king-size beds, 24-hour air conditioning, private terraces, and swim outs or jetted plunge pools; half of the rooms add indoor soaking tubs.
I also was thinking of booking a bike ahead of time but it may be too hot. Each suite includes a king-sized bed and sofa bed, AC, wifi, a huge shower, TV (this is the only hotel in the Tulum beach zone with TVs), and a private plunge pool, rather than a shared pool area for all guests. Any suggestions?
But we do want excellent Mexican food onsite. Playa del Carmen is very walkable, and its easy to catch taxis around for anywhere you cant walk or bus to. We are two friends going to Tulum interested in yoga, nutrition and exercising, eg early morning walks, bicycling.
And, the great news is none of the restaurants in Tulum are very resort-y so no matter where you go, youll have great, fresh, unique options.
I will be traveling with husband, and 27 yr old son and girlfriend to spend 3 days in Tulum in november.
We were thinking of staying at Habitas, but I havent seen one mention of it here. Also, we are planning the famous Tulum beach bar crawl from Trip Advisor, would it be easy to walk into Tulum town from beach as I really fancy some street food rather than restaraunts (we will have enough of those on resort!)
Were VERY looking forward to this coming February, literally just booked the trip. If you only have time to go to one park go to Xel-Ha.
So glad I found your site!
We are looking to keep our budget at $100 a night max for 5 days. It seems we are already very behind the curve on booking a room.
Get the private plunge pool if you can snag it! Great beach, food, nightlife, local vibe, and wonderful nearby sights. They do meet all of your other requests, though.
Feeling hungry? Thank you for taking the time to do what you do. My husband and I are considering Tulum for an anniversary trip.
La Valise is definitely one of the most exclusive hotels in Tulum, The kitchen table is a great workspace for digital nomads, If you want to cook, Coco Village has excellent kitchens. In the same area, but on the beach, Amansala Grande has a nice beach restaurant. Coral Tulum or its sister property Ana y Jose both provide a nice combination of rustic and luxurious and you can further make that distinction based on the type of room that you book at either hotel. The hotel is brand new and they have built beautiful luxury rooms with nice little details, perfect for young, savvy travelers.

Otherwise they may charge you a small fee to use their facilities. The options we have left are Kore Tulum Retreat & Spa Resort or Azulik.
Cabs are really never an issue in the region and the hotel staff at either hotel can help you arrange for that.
Hello Dave,
Mi Amor is the nicer hotel. Theres a hammock outside on your deck with a little table and chair so you can relax quietly. I stayed there last year and paid about $80 per night.
We dont accept payment from hotels. They have incredible parties every weekend with great music, dancing, etc. If you find the ruins and ancient culture of the area interesting, this is the right park. Youll find a spectacular pool and bar on the rooftop, plus a fashionable coffee shop and market in the front.
How do you feel about Dreams?
And if they are still building it might be noisy.
Which one would you recommend? The houses have their own kitchens, the bungalows have access to a shared kitchen. It seems like Ahau, Ana y Jose, El Zebra, Azulik and Mezzaine might be close to that range (probably a bit over $400 to $450/night).
This new 5-star bohemian beach boutique is one of Claras personal favorite Tulum hotels. Very helpful as I am planning a mid- March trip to Tulum. 2.
Yes, its crazy that its so late, but we thought worth a try. Its a cool atmosphere with a fun scene tucked into the jungle unlike anything most of us have experienced.
The 4 hotels you mention are all great.
When we travel I often have a problem with Mosquito & other insect bites and have noticed a lot of the hotel rooms have Mosquito nets round the beds. Located on the southern end of Tulums hotel zonein a quiet beach stretch within walkingdistanceof several fantastic restaurants.
The beach zone is not hooked up to the towns electricity grid, so most hotels on the beach rely on generators and have limited or no air conditioning.
Booking online is easy for most excursions, but if it seems daunting to plan it all, any hotel concierge can arrange the excursions for you.
The ruins are actually better on an overcast day (though rain makes them hard to enjoy). I know they have rooms but have read some negative comments.
Hotel phone: +52 984 807 1433 Go late afternoon to get the smallest crowds.
We are going March 20 March 26.
If you want a secure, private, luxurious, and peaceful escape from the crowds, Tankah is the best area to stay in Tulum. The hotel itself, restaurant (MINA) and pool are all fantastic. Thank you in advance. Other option is go next door to Ahau or at higher end Alaya and just leave the hotel to find music and a night scene. Any suggestions?
Ive read that most of the places on the beach use filtered water but I really wanted to check out tacos, etc in town. Air conditioning room, great beach, nice rooms are important. Wi-fi available throughout hotel
Let me know if you know anything about TATA!
Thanks, Pablo. November often has good weather.
Rains are usually short lived and the sun pops out again in a few hours. Their beach club is the best in Tulum.
Help!
Zamas is great but its true, the beach isnt ideal.
Later in the night on the beach zone in Tulum where Ana y Jose is located, it can take a little longer to get a taxi so have a little patience when you are getting ready to leave the wedding.
Walking (especially at night as there are no sidewalks along the beach road) is a little more of a hassle.
Looks like you recommend Mezzanine as a high-end option but as far as I can tell these are not free-standing rooms and villas. Is my friend right? Hotel website Check prices for Ahau, Family-friendly, wellness-centered hotel with a gorgeous pool, free daily yoga, and a well-kept beach about a 10-minute walk from Sian Kaan biosphere. The hotel does a good job of cleaning it when theres seaweed around. Taxis are cheap and pretty easy to find along both the beach and town.
The places listed below are small to medium-sized boutique-style hotels with lots of character.
The hotel itself runs off self-generated solar and wind power, and a rain catch system. Clara and I stayed here recently and, while we did have some trouble checking in when we arrived late at night, ultimately we got it sorted and enjoyed our stay.
Its located in the Aldea Zama, between the Tulum city center and the beachfront zone. The rooms at Alma are also very well designed and romantic. Coco Tulum definitely has a more authentic feel but it is not a true luxury hotel.
What are some of the best restaurants close to here? Any insights into whether thats an accurate assessment at Zamas? For anything on the beach you would want to book (far) ahead. Nmade is one of the best all-inclusive resorts in Tulum and is just a one-minute walk away from the beach.
Hi, thanks for the amazing website! For a great beach but with cabanas without air conditioning, Ahau Tulum and Papaya Playa Project are great options. We are looking for a luxurious hotel with great service & amenities, a beautiful beach good for swimming, a great location close to all the restaurants, AC, and a pool. Thank you in advance. 1.
Which one do you think is better:
This Tulum hotel is just so photogenic!
Just heaven!
Thank you!!
It is a little removed from the town but the location so close to Casa Cenote might be worth it if you plan on doing any snorkeling. Prices, reviews & availability for Dune Boutique Hotel , Hotel Website | Hotel Phone: +52 (984) 147 6571 | $$$ | Check Prices for Alea on Booking.
Trying to plan a last minute trip this February in Tulum.
Alaya is more serene and quiet but Ahua has a good blend.

We are a family of 4 looking to stay at Hip Hotel. 2.
If you prefer privacy, try to snag a room in the Zen Zone, where youll find a yoga deck and a temazcal (a traditional Mayan sauna).
Were not looking for the most luxurious place, but also dont want anything too rustic. Although it can be tough peeling yourself out of bed early, if you are staying on the beach wake up early enough to watch the sunrise over the ocean at least one morning. Thank you!
Also, do you have a favourite hotel in town and on the beach (a beach hotel whose cost wont break the bank)? Curious about the following questions:
I would like to be able to walk to nearby hotels for dinner also.
in town and after reading your reviews wish wed booked something on the beach! Our trailer at home doesnt fold and would be really challenging to bring along.
It is a great event and attended by lots of visitors but (obviously) lots of local residents (mostly ex-pats) too. Rooms have air-conditioning Be Tulum is so meticulously well maintained, they continually rake the sand along the walk along the rooms to/from the beach. Its the area for live music at Mateos and Puro Carazon (though it never gets crazy, so no need to worry there).
The best place to snorkel however is in the cenotes and they are all over the region.
While the affected hotels are dealing with it, life in Tulum is back to normal for everyone else.
Do you have any recommendations? The Ocean room is really extraordinary with the private rooftop patio and pool but you cant go wrong with the Arena or Jungle rooms too.
Each bed/room is its own private cement tube. Being used to the humidity is half the battle with the heat in Tulum so you should be just fine. The concierge is notorious for up-selling timeshares before being as helpful as you would like them to be (the biggest downfall to this hotel).
My husband and I will be celebrating our anniversary.
I want something on the luxurious side but not too over the top, and something that still has an authentic (not corporate/business/chain) feel. If you rent bikes then its an easy ride from Rosa to more choices but bikes arent a great option at night.
I am planning on traveling to Azulik in Tulum Dec 03-07 and just realized there are thundestorms the 5-7th. A friend of mine has a nice rental its the closest building to the beach so it might be perfect or you.
Discover the best ones with this step-by-step guide.
Both are very nice hotels but not quite luxury.
(AC, beautiful pool, etc.) Im trying to start early planning for a February trip to Tulum. That is when I came across Nomad Tulum and there are no reviews about the hotel.
Zamas is a good spot for a group dinner.
How do you feel about the Coral and Ayala? Hotel phone: +52 984 157 9645
The hotels youve recommended are amazing but want to go cheaper with hostels?
Im looking for a luxury wellness hotel and wanted you opinion on Sanara or if you have other suggestions. Hotel website Check prices for Coco Tulum, Adults-only hotel with a river pool, jacuzzi, full-service spa, and 2 restaurants, including the well-loved Ziggys Restaurant and Beach Club.
The location by reception isnt a bother and while you may hear some road noise, there isnt much traffic activity on the beach zone at night. All three of those are on the beach and, under $300 depending on the dates. To minimize your ecological impact, stay at one of Sueos Tulums 13 beachfront suites.
They have a long stretch of very well maintained beach and a great beach club (bar, restaurant, bar service to the beach chairs, etc) so your guests will be able to enjoy some of the nicest stretch of beach Tulum has to offer, right outside their doorstep.
Tulum is very safe, however, as with everywhere you may travel, you have to be smart and use your common sense. When considering a venue in Tulum, most of the beach ceremonies are done right in the middle of the beach with beach go-ers walking by as your ceremony proceeds. We dont really need a pool, because we live in the desert and cant wait to swim in the ocean?
Were here at Suenos now, and we LOVE it!
Again, stay tuned as it gets closer to the actual date but you definitely dont have to worry about finding parties in Tulum on New Years Eve. These are our finalists based on what may be available or what we have reserved on a refundable basis: Be Tulum cleans their beach so seaweed shouldnt be an issue there.
I came across your blog while researching hotels in Tulum and I love it My boyfriend and I are looking for a hotel by the beach that is almost like the more budget version of Be Tulum.
Nothing can make or break a beach vacation like a great hotel.
If you had to rank them based on location, best best and best overall how would you do this?
My mom is usually more of the luxury travel type, but is happy just to have a nice beach, a clean (and air-conditioned) room and nice people working at the hotel.
Good for a dip but dont be expecting the pool at a Hilton. Most of town will be low key in September.
