10/10 Exceptional! (41 reviews)

My stay at Sana Tulum was magical. The accommodations, food and top tier staff far exceeded my expectations. From the moment Sofía and Joss greeted me via text and at the front desk, I knew the bar was raised. The service provided throughout the week was stellar - shout out to Rigo and Jorge. I could not have chosen a more perfect place to relax.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (333 reviews)

The property was excellent. The rooms were gorgeous and well serviced throughout our stay. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed. The 4 starts is purely for the fact that like everywhere in Tulum & southern Yucatán peninsula the sargassum seaweed was awful and made it impossible to swim in the ocean and smelled gross. No fault of the facility. One lady said it’s the worst she’s seen it in 12 years. But the area was very slow as well which pro- we felt like royalty but definitely was not super ideal. Not really close to anything other than a couple of restaurants. No shopping. The food at the hotel was TOP TIER. amazing. The octopus chips app thing was incredible. Also the most comfortable hotel bed & pillows I’ve ever experienced
