Villa Kiin

I shoild tell you that Isla Mujerees is a terrible hole so that you won't go but the Isla and Villa Kiin is about as close to paradise as I will ever get. The beach and lagoon at your front door is amazing. While it's not the coral reef but there ALL kinds of wonderful fish that wil keep you interested and surprised and the lagoon is safe for any one who can get into the water. Kid friendly, warm water is a dream. Across the road there is restort and bare which has live music with some of the finest musicians you ever will see. The Villa is 2 blocks from the native market and loncherias where you can buy the best of Mexican food and fresh fish meals at a price that will amaze you. Not only is the Villa wonderful (fall to sleep by the sounds of the surf) but the island provides snorkeling and diving every where. The restaurants particularly Pita Amore and the Fisherman's Co-op near the ferry docks provide the highest quality food at ridiculously low prices.

We found this hotel just after leaving a different hotel that wasn't working for us. The rates were excellent, the place humble, friendly staff and a beautiful location right on the reef. We enjoyed relaxing in the hammock garden and snorkeling right in front of the hotel's beach. We also appreciated the free snorkel gear which we used each day. They have a common kitchen and reading room. This is located a few blocks away from the downtown action. There is a yoga studio nearby with daily classes. Some of the bungalow rooms are dark while rooms on the second floor had more windows and open light. The mattress was a little old but the room was clean and the price was right. This is not a four star hotel - no pool, no bar, no restaurant. It is a perfect getaway and just what we were looking for.

not really my cup of tea, clean but very basic and very frugal breakfast.. we actually went to the hotel next to it to have a proper one!

We loved Hotel Maison! Unique, artsy structure with fantastic lush garden was an oasis in middle of town. Wonderful breakfasts with fresh baked goods. Many restaurants and artesania shops within walking distance. Beautiful Tulum public beach, Tulum archeological park and cenotes all easily reached by taxi or colectivo. Best part was getting to know Sliman, the owner, a most gracious and kind host.

The private beach is an amazing little cove perfect for snorkeling and watching sunsets. The staff is very friendly and helpful! Be advised that a continental breakfast is toast, cafe, and juice ;-).

It is a really paradise for people who would like to relax in quiet and lovely place .Also you can see the real life of Mexican people.

It is very basic. The secret word is Location.. We liked it, just slept there and enjoyed the beaches all day long. The only bad thing is they don't offer their own Beach Loungers/Umbrellas, although it is a BeachFront hotel. So you still have to go look for someone to rent Lounders and spots from!

The hotel was lovely, right on a small lagoon- the views were beautiful! The bed was surprisingly comfortable (usually beds in Mexico are very, sometimes uncomfortably firm) so this was a pleasant surprise. Super easy walk to town for dinner and shopping. Downsides were lack of Internet in the rooms (I fell on the stairs going to the lobby to check email), having to pay $50USD to break the safe lock when the key was lost, and the fact the "continental breakfast" entitled you to a voucher at a beach bar a couple of blocks away- and was literally some toast and limited fruit. I'm someone who tends to travel inexpensively so was not put off by the "downsides" (except the charge for breaking the safe lock)

The location is great, right on the beach - the room is only so-so - the bed was not very comfy, the room was small, nowhere to put our suitcases. Maybe the other rooms are better. I would agree with other posters about the gates being closed up at night. There were people partying loudly on the other side of the gate at the road on Saturday night from at least 3 a.m. to 5 a.m. and there was no one around to talk to about it. We didn't use the beach chairs outside the hotel but would not have been happy to pay a fee. We never found the continental breakfast - didn't ask about it or see it - there are too many amazing restaurants downtown.
