What I loved about Sana Tulum - Beachfront Boutique Hotel was its stunning beachfront location and the amazing design that perfectly blended modern and Moroccan styles. The clean, white sandy beach and the breathtaking views of the turquoise Caribbean Sea created a serene atmosphere that was perfect for relaxation. The exceptional service from the staff truly stood out; they were friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. I also appreciated the top-notch amenities, including the lovely infinity rooftop pool and the delicious on-site restaurant that showcased Mediterranean flavors.

Such a beautiful hotel. We came here for our honeymoon. Everything here is so relaxing and a piece of heaven. The food is incredible, as well as the stuff. Everything we needed they helped us. Lucia and the other people serving our food as well. I really recommend the hotel at least one time because it’s truly an experience, especially coming with your loved one.

Everything met and exceeded our expectations. The staff is incredibly professional and nice. The food was INCREDIBLE, fresh ingredients and exquisite preparation. The resort premises are huge, in the middle of a secluded, quiet part of the near-beach jungle. We stayed in an individual lodge with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The rooms are designed and furnished in the traditional Mexican and Yucatan style. The resort is a piece of paradise: quiet, surrounded by trees and vegetation, there's a lagoon nearby ON THE PROPERTY. There's also a cenote right in the resort and it includes an underground cave which can be toured, one of the *many* activities the resort offers (for free). It really feels like the resort was built around the nature and the spirit of the Yucatan peninsula, as opposed to putting these elements around the resort. There are plenty of activities and things to explore just within the resort itself, with many swimming pools, bike tours and hidden gems on the premises (such as a traditional church, quiet gazebos, the cenote, library, a recreation of a Mayan village, etc.). The resort is approx 10 mins drive from Tulum, 8 mins drive from Xel-Ha water park. We'd recommend renting and coming by car for everyone who stays here to enjoy the surroundings as well (including places like Playa Paraiso). The staff was incredibly accommodating: we missed our connection and lost one night of vacation stuck in Atlanta and the resort management offered us an extra night *for free* to make up for this (although they didn't have to). We also met the owner of the resort along with the director and we could feel their passion for nature, for preserving and passing the spirit of the place onto the resort and its guests. Big thanks and kudos to Gonzo (leading cenote and cave tours and various other activities), Alejandro (our favorite restaurant staff), and all other staff who made our stay feel warm and welcome.

Tulum could be an easy place to avoid.

Tulum could be an easy place to avoid. The sea beaches are mostly inaccessible and are not at all worth visiting. There are few Cenotes around that are really good. Rather spend time in Cancun (for sea beach) and multiple Mayan Archeological sites in Yucatán.

Beautfiuyl beaches, but rampant price gouging and the place is a tourist trap. We are at the point where they are asking for 90 pesos for water in a restaurant (that's about 5 dollars) but you don't even get a glass of water with ice and a lime, no all you get is a plastic waterbottle that you could buy for 25 cents in the grocery store. Every dish starts at some 250 pesos, (15 dollars) no matter are simple it is. All prices go by 50 pesos, 250, 300, 350 etc pretty clearly completely disconnected from reality. You get three tiny tacos for that. The beaches are very pretty, the shores are filled with pretty people too - but swimming is almost impossible because the waves are strong and brutal.

There is so much to do in Tulum but you need to decide if you want to stay beachside or in the 'town area' which are 5 kms away from each other. activities include: visits to the many different Cenotes nearby, the Laguna de Kaan Luum , the archaeological ruins and of course the beach. We found Tulum to be more expensive than other places in Mexico but if you prefer somewhere more authentic than Playa Del Carmen this would be a good option. We stayed in the 'town area' where there were plenty of good cafes and restaurants to choose from and a lovely local vibe.

Tulum is growing way too fast, with an obvious scramble for real estate and tourist dollars, and a neglect of basic infrastructure. Beach access is difficult, with paid parking, and taxis are ridiculously expensive ($25 to go 1/4 mile). The residential area (where the affordable accommodations are) is quite a ways from the beach, and pretty dirty. The unpaved roads are so rough as to be nearly impassible - but are the only way to get to some of the condos. I suppose if you stayed at an all-inclusive it might be nice, but that's not for us.

Tulum city was completely disappointing (except for park Jaguar and archeological site) so I’m so glad we stood in “zona hotelera”. We chose a hotel who was in walking zone to “escultura de la luz” and almost all the time we walked through the beach because the road is terrible. We heard all kind of stories and didn’t want to risk so we booked our excursions in advance to Chichen Itzá, Coba, Cenotes, Tulum, Akumal and Xuan Ka’an and couple of times we used the app in drive to get to some further restaurants or to the city. We loved La Eufemia for a relaxed local chiringuito, had a great treat in Ana y Jose hotel and party at Bagatelle. To pay we chose the Revolut card, you can charge it immediately and pay and tip with the mobile phone (although tip we like to leave it in cash if possible). We used exchange office called Capital (in the city center and in zona hot.) The greatest thing was the private tours because we really get to know the people and the reality of Tulum and Mexico. It’s always better if you speak Spanish. They are really grateful. Absolute adventure and xian Kaan community are the platforms we used and we were delighted. We enjoyed Tulum before the hordes come for Xmas but when sargassum was already gone. First half of December, great weather, no crowds, clean beach. I hope I can come back one day soon.

Nobody tells you about the toxic tap water which is contaminated with sea water and definately not fit to drink. Hotels apparently don't seem to care in not providing water treatment and do not supply bottled waterunless paid for. Some really good affordable restaurants in town. It is rather a dirty, rubbish strewn town and is more expensive for everything than say Puerto Vallata and other popular coastal locations. Both the airport and train station are brand new but lacking a lot of facilities. We will be returning to Mexico again but not Tulum, most disapointing.

Beautiful boutique hotel/hostel in the centre of Tulum. Great if you are looking for more laid-back, bohemian, artsy vibes. We took the twin room and it was very cozy and also had working air conditioning and fan. The vibe in the general area is great, very relaxed with an amazing bar and pool. The personnel was very generous and kind and helped us in every way. The breakfast was included in the price but absolutely amazing. The premise also has bicycles you can use for free.

It's a lovely smallish boutique hotel with large, spotlessly clean, modern rooms and public spaces. They serve an excellent breakfast. The wifi is good and the best hotel shower I have had in Mexico. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful - the lady at breakfast (didn't get her name) and Daniel and Kevin on reception. Kevin is an absolute star - very helpful and gave me brilliant advice on bicycle rentals and sports bars.

My sister and I stayed at Irie Tulum in May 2024 and we loved stayed there. The location is developing rapidly with new building being built. It is located between the beachfront and downtown which gave us the opportunity to explore both sides of Tulum. The hotel is a small boutique hotel, very clean and the staff was absolutely so nice and helpful!

We had an amazing stay at Layla. The hotel is an oasis, especially the rooftop, where you can enjoy great drinks at sundown. The heart of Tulums nightlife is just around the corner. The option to go to Sana Beach Club is really cool too - so soy can have best of both worlds. Also, the staff is really friendly and helpful! Thank you!

The hotel had excellent security measures with CCTV cameras and secure entry. Staff at Collection O Faisano Boutique Luxury Hotel, Tulum Beach were attentive and the neighborhood felt safe for walking alone.
