Olivia Oceanfront Tulum

Zona Hotelera

10/10 Excellent

Olivia Oceanfront was the perfect place for our bachelorette trip in Tulum! The rooms were beautiful, clean, and spacious, which made our stay even more comfortable and memorable. We also loved how easy and convenient the digital check-in process was. The property has amazing amenities, including beautiful rooftop areas, a jacuzzi, a beach club, restaurants, and a gym. Everything we needed for a fun and relaxing girls’ getaway was right there! We had such an unforgettable time celebrating...

Hotel Ma'xanab

Zona Hotelera

10/10 Excellent

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. Hermelindo who was our server for...

priscilla

A pool surrounded by palm trees and a beach view.

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...

Mi Amor by La Zebra, an SLH Hotel

Zona Hotelera

10/10 Excellent

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...

Hotel Milam, Michelin Key winner

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. The interior design of the hotel is a masterpiece, with touches of elegance and style in every corner. For me, this hotel stands out for its ability to anticipate guests' needs and offer...

Mvngata Beach Hotel

Playa del Carmen

10/10 Excellent

This hotel is beautiful! Beds are comfortable and the rooms, views, and roof top pool are extraordinary. I loved the feel of the property and it provides a very personalized experience. I traveled alone from Seattle and even though I was alone (my bf broke up with me three days before this trip we were supposed to be on together), but I had the whole team at Mvngata (pronounced moon-gata) to help me heal from a devastating breakup. They loved on me and made me feel safe and full of joy. This...

La Zebra Tulum - a Small Luxury Hotel

Zona Hotelera

10/10 Excellent

Excellent location-quiet late at night/early morning so we slept well. Walking distance to tons of shops, restaurants, bars & beach clubs. Loved being right on the beach! Property was clean and very well maintained. Staff was friendly and attentive. Beds were super comfortable and great air conditioning. Good and drinks were all fresh and delicious. The hotel had so much character. Highly recommend!

Regina

Valentin Imperial Rivera Maya All Inclusive - Adults Only

Playa del Carmen

10/10 Excellent

This property is fantastic if your desire is to go to a laid back property and have a relaxing but fun time. It is not packed with party hungry 18 year olds. We noticed the guests were mostly couples and friend trips made up of ladies or couples. While they say tips are not expected, they really are. For the price of flights and the say along with the amazing food options on property, throw your server or housekeeping staff a few USD. Be careful when it comes to converting dollars to pesos - pay...

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...

Layla Tulum - Adults Only

Tulum City Center

10/10 Excellent

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...

Trenae

El Dorado Maroma, All & More Inclusive - Adults Only

Maroma

10/10 Excellent

This is a great, little resort. The beach is, in my opinion, is one of the best in the area. It is white and powdery. The staff rakes it each morning so there are no rocks or debris. There could be more beach chairs, but the staff work very hard to assure that you get a chair. My room was perfectly located within walking distance to the beach. I had a room directly above Rick’s bar and the adjoining pool, but never felt it was too loud. The staff are all very hard working and welcoming. The...
