The best available Resorts to stay near Tulum

April 23, 2023 Franklyn Hardiman

Mayan ruins tower over the sea in Tulum. The formerly walled city was one of the last to be built by the Mayans, and its archaeological sites are incredibly well preserved. Take a break from the beach to visit El Castillo, the Temple of the Frescoes, and the Temple of the Descending God. Explore an underground river under a canopy of stalactites in the sacred caverns of LabnaHa Eco Park, or dive into Cenote Dos Ojos to snorkel inside of caves in the middle of a forest.

Went for a wedding and was a great time. The concierge service can be pushy in making you schedule stuff. If you do schedule make sure you make it and dont cancel because if you cancel one, they will cancel the rest.

REYES IS THE BEST!!

Reviewed By NiaLaeliah

¡HOLA! We had an absolutely great time at this beautiful establishment. We got caught in the rain and were greeted at the door with towels to dry off which we were extremely grateful for. Reyes was our server and he was more than amazing! He got us a fruity margarita while we waited for a gorgeous cabana that was on the beach. The food & drinks were delicious. We were celebrating my friends 21st birthday and she was surprised with a pineapple with sprinklers and tequila shots that we ordered! It was so much fun! The atmosphere is outstanding and the beach was beautiful. It was just the right temperature to have a great time. Hector was the manager on duty and he checked in with us to make sure we everything was going well (which is was). I definitely would recommend coming here! I will be back again!!!

La Zebra Colibri Boutique Hotel

Situated directly on the beach in a historic former coconut plantation, the family-run La Zebra offers a vibrant and rustic destination among Tulum hotels, where authentic Mexican culture and cuisine infuse every facet of your stay. Escape to an intimate Tulum Mexico hotel best described as stylish and beach-chic, with thatched roofs and colorful hammocks, coco palms swaying in the breeze, and warm Caribbean waters lapping at the shore just a few sandy steps away.

Pleasant week-long stay

Reviewed By Safari00801628094

Extremely relaxing and comfortable stay. We stayed for a whole week. Amazing room with lux features (double shower “room” was the best), incredible staff, attentive to everything you need as a guest. Staff cleans the room (thoroughly) every day, with turn-down service during dinner. La Zebra is one of the few hotels on the beach strip that does not blaire loud music during the day and into the night. We slept comfortably each night. The last time we were in Tulum in 2017 it was much quieter, but it has become somewhat of a party scene (Cancun-style). This hotel remains chill, and is family, couple, and solo friendly. Fantastic restaurant and on-site bar (Mulberry Project). Having these great options on-site was helpful during the rainy season (starts mid-May). This hotel also rakes up the seaweed daily, which is major since it’s become problem in the last few years - especially since it has a sulfur smell and brown/reddish color, and there is so much of it on the beach strip. There are no unpleasant surprises, and it was even better than what we were expecting. Totally recommend!

Could not recommend more!

Reviewed By kelseyrB8864KL

We stayed here for a girls trip- and while it may seem like Mi Amor is more catered towards couples it could not have been a better spot for a girls trip! We LOVED how beautiful and intimate the property was- it felt like every person working there knew and remembered each guest. Seima COULD NOT have been more wonderful, from recommendations to arranging travel and making sure everything with our stay was perfect. The food was incredible, the drinks were amazing, and to have this tranquil little piece of heaven to come home to after a day at the beach or a night checking out the more lively restaurant and bar scene was perfect! Would HIGHLY recommend everything about staying at Mi Amor!

Excellent room, food and service

Reviewed By Huntfishtexan

We booked a birthday trip to Mezzanine in Tulum and have been very impressed with the service, food and facilities. We arrived tired after traveling and were greeted with a margarita. The room is simple and well done, with a fantastic view. We had a small meal at the restaurant for dinner and our server David was professional, knowledgeable, and made us a table-side desert drink called a Mayan Sacrifice which we really enjoyed. Angelica, the concierge, helped us weeks in advance with airport transportation, a couple of tours we wanted to take, and dinner reservations. Can’t say enough good things about our experience, and we will be back.

Encantada Tulum

Our luxuriously appointed, rustic Tulum cabanas sit on a secluded stretch of white, powder-fine sand where one can enjoy the view from your private deck, steps away from the crystal clear Caribbean waters. Up and down the coastline you will find a natural peacefulness, gentle breezes and the hypnotic sounds of waves crashing against the sand, all in the simple tranquility of Tulum.

Absolutely loved Encantada

Reviewed By 797davinac

From the moment we arrived Jose Luis grabbed our bags and told us to relax—-we were on vacation! He was always very helpful and caring with taxis or any questions we had! Ana from the restaurant was always so friendly and helpful, we just loved our conversations with her and she went above and beyond in her service! The food was delicious! Breakfast exceeded my expectations—variety, taste, presentation all superb! The front desk responded quickly to any needs or questions and offered suggestions—They even made sure to send us off with towels for our day trip when I completely spaced to grab some! They also had breakfast packed and to go for us as well! The weather/seaweed didn’t cooperate during our stay and we visited the sister pool as a result. We really enjoyed their pool and service there also! The rooms are kept really clean and the bed was so comfortable! It really was a quiet and peaceful retreat. We will definitely cherish the memories we made during our stay at Encantada Tulum and hope to return in the future! Thank you all for a wonderful, relaxing and beautiful vacation!

Watch out your valuables

Reviewed By U6223OEinfo

Watch out your valuables. My daughter left her airpods on the bed and when we returned from dinner they were gone. We searched them everywhere and then contacted the reception. She called the room girl and we all went back to the room and there they were again. The room maid put them back. Not really a great experience. Otherwise the hotel is nice. The drinks and food are expensive a rip off as Tulum is, sorry.

It has an area of 2 acres surrounded by over 200 palm trees and a beautiful bay with white sand beaches and crystalline water.

Very Cool

Reviewed By Petersonthemove

Stayed in #2 and enjoyed open windows and ocean breeze day and night. Rooms are super cool with stone walls and thatched roof. Safe and low key vibe with good food, but not cheap for Mexico … mind you you are on the ocean with super service and cleanliness. The private cove beach allows for nice shallow swimming if your OK with some seaweeds which are unavoidable right now on most of the Mexican east coast. No regrets and would recommend it for primarily couples even though there were some families there.

Hilton Tulum Riviera Maya All-Inclusive Resort

Nestled in a secluded bay, our all-inclusive resort in Tulum overlooks white sands and blue waters. Spend the day at our luxury spa, nine pools, 13 restaurants and bars, private beach, or family zone. We're less than 30 minutes from underwater caves, amusement parks, and Tulum city center, and we're less than two hours from Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve.

The Perfect Choice!!

Reviewed By Deams D

First, I want to thank the entire Hilton Tulum Riviera Maya team for being such great hosts! My family had a fantastic experience, the hotel staff were very welcoming, resort is beautiful, and the overall service was first-class! We came here to celebrate our 20th anniversary, and we did not regret making the decision to come to this resort to honor each other. The GM Felix Schlokat and his ENTIRE staff are truly exceptional, and we felt welcomed from the time we checked in/out. Stepping through the lobby, we were immediately struck by the beautiful and friendly reception area. Light, airy and very spacious...very welcoming atmosphere. We were greeted with welcome drinks and the front desk staff were very professional, friendly and extremely helpful and provided us with a general overview of the resort; we were even informed about the seaweed problem (which is being experienced in multiple resorts in Mexico), and even welcomed by Felix. The poolside bars and Azulinda (inside bar) servers were very personal and would always greet us by our last names, and even memorized our drink choices, which made things easier. There were times when the poolside bar did not have the drink of our choice, and servers would go to another part of the hotel to bring back the drink requested (we insisted we could go, but they wanted to ensure we were well taken care of). We had a 1-bedroom oceanfront, and it was spacious with nice décor, things were cleaned daily, our view from the room was stunning, and our housekeeper ensured we had all our essentials daily. Regarding the food, we ate at Vela Sur, La Luce, Maxal, Noriku, Auma and Cocomar. The quality of food at each restaurant was phenomenal, waiters/waitresses were attentive to our needs, and everything we tried was delicious. There were nightly events catered to adults and kids, and the entertainment crew throughout the resort always made sure we were enjoying ourselves. There were times when the crew would sit down with us personally and play games (Uno, Blackjack, Jenga, etc) with our family, and they always wanted to ensure our daughters were having a good time. SHOUT OUT to William, Jhonathan, Giuxci, Ailyn and Daniela! Our girls loved the Glow party, and we enjoyed Casino night, especially since the house lost the majority of the time. ? The property is clean, safe and offers much to do to keep everyone entertained and relaxed. This is a very large property, however, there are transport vehicles to assist guest to/from their rooms. Wi-Fi is great throughout the hotel; décor is amazing and the flowers throughout the property are gorgeous. Overall, our experience at Hilton Tulum Riviera Maya was amazing. All the employees at this property are the best and true professionals!! We're Hilton Lifetime Diamond members, and have experienced incredible customer service at other resorts, but this property has set the bar even higher. They are all representing the Hilton brand by providing exceptional service with integrity!! We can't wait to revisit once the other side of the resort is finalized.
