My wife and I had a wonderful three night retreat here. We were looking for somewhere quiet, where we could sit by the ocean and read and chill. This was perfect. The service was great and everything on the menu was delicious. We walked to the Mezzanine for Thai food one night, which was great! One day we took a taxi ($550 MX) to the strip and had tacos at La Zebra (also great). Love the new Tulum International Airport. We had a direct flight from Dallas. The transportation from the airport to...

This hotel was beyond my expectations. The staff is so welcoming and friendly. The food is delicious and the presentation is stunning. Patricio in front desk was able to answer any questions and make reservations for us. He is amazing along with Paulina in front desk. I felt right at home. The guys in the restaurant and beach club area left me with no words. Carlos, Roberto, and Jose Manuel in the beach club gave the best service. So personable and friendly.

Milam is synonymous with luxury and sophistication. From the moment you enter the lobby, you are immersed in a well-balanced atmosphere of elegance and nature. The attention to detail is exceptional throughout the hotel. The rooms and suites are spacious, beautifully decorated and feature first-class amenities.

My husband and I stayed here on our honeymoon. I thought we were going to feel regretful for not staying at a beach resort, but I'm so glad we stayed here instead. We woke up every morning and hopped on the rental bikes and rode into town (and if you're ambitious like us- the ruins, the beaches, and the cenotes- all were a bit of a hike but worth it). Once back at Tiki Tiki, we'd immediately drop our stuff, jump in the pool, and grab a carefully crafted cocktail from the bar. The whole staff...

Jashita Hotel

Tulum

10/10 Excellent

We just returned from a week at Jashita and couldn't recommend the hotel more. It's truly a special place perched at the end of Solomon Bay, just a short jaunt away from the great restaurants, hotels, and nightlife of the Tulum puebla and beach. But most importantly, with all that Jashita has to offer, why leave? The service across the board is some of the best I've received anywhere being a frequent traveler for both work and pleasure. We had many great meals at the restaurant and enjoyed...

My husband and I chose Layla Tulum for our 1st year marriage anniversary. We’ve done all inclusive a number of times, each time we vacation actually and wanted this trip to be more intimate. Layla Tulum exceeded our expectations! It’s such a small charming hotel, with breath taking decor. I let the staff know it was our anniversary prior to coming and we ended up on the 1st floor, beautiful room and they even set up rose petals for us! The food was amazing, the staff great, and couldn’t have...

This is one of the most relaxing, beautiful, peaceful trips I’ve ever been on. This property is so gorgeous - the smells, the sounds, the food - everything was so amazing. I cannot wait to come back!! Everyone there was so helpful and kind, they are able to get a taxi quickly for you and more. Tulum changed me, and I have Una Vida to thank for that. Tip: do the sound therapy session!!! It just completed my stay and really did some good for my soul. I can’t say enough wonderful things about this...

Playa Esperanza Hotel Tulum

Zona Hotelera

10/10 Excellent

Playa Esperanza is the perfect place to unwind, it’s super ideal for a couples getaway or honeymoon. All the staff is super nice and helpful. The only downside for me, it’s that not all of their rooms have AC, they’re an eco friendly hotel and there is no fridge, iron or hair dryer, and they shut the power for a couple of hours as they are running on generators. But I love that they care about the environment!

The property is gorgeous, will a beautiful cenote, multiple swimming pools, a large lagoon, and jungle walking trails. Being on the property makes you feel more connected to nature and withdrawn from the world. There are several activities provided for free, and Gonzalo (the Activities Manager) is super knowledgeable and an outstanding guide! The food is excellent, though a little bit on the more expensive side. Would definitely recommend! Just be warned, they are still working on setting up...

What a fabulous hotel. Everything was perfect and they even upgraded our rooms at no extra charge. The staff is wonderful. They are helpful and cheerful. The beach is pristine. They invested in a seaweed wall this year to keep the beach clear of seaweed year around. The breakfast was wonderful, lunch and dinner delicious. Great snorkeling close by; easy to get to with the complementary kayaks. Security was spot on and the whole atmophere was calm, pristine and safe. Highly recommend this hotel!!
