This secluded guest house is located outside the village of Tulum, only a short cab ride of the beach. The property is surrounded by tropical gardens.

Casa Don Diego features air-conditioning and private bathrooms in every guest room. All rooms feature a balcony or terrace. Absolutely beautiful place, a lush oasis which is so colourful and well-kept. The room was spacious and very comfortable and the breakfast was well worth the extra cost. The owners are also really lovely and helpful! We actually extended our stay by one night and would definitely stay here again

Located on the coast of Xcalacoco Beach 10 minutes outside of Playa del Carmen, this luxury resort and spa situated in the tropical rainforest features a restaurant.

The villas at Viceroy Riviera Maya are furnished with a private kidney-shaped pool and flat-screen TVs with DVD players. Free Wi-Fi is provided and room service is available. While planning a winter escape, I focused more on the type of resort rather than location or beach. I wanted to feel pampered, zen and with nature. I had stayed at Viceroy hotels in the US before and always had a good experience, so I was happy to find this one with only 40 or so rooms and the type of setting I was seeking. The care the staff took was unparalleled to any other experience we’ve had. They looked after us, brought us treats, knew our preferences and were always so accommodating. The massage was the best we ever experienced. The vibe of the common areas is low key; no loud music or obnoxious behavior, the food was excellent. The suites are so different from your average resort, the bed was huge and comfortable, each room has an outdoor shower and plunge pool. The rain head showers were a delight with excellent pressure. I can’t say enough about this wonderful place (obviously). If you’re seeking an out-of-the-ordinary adult experience to relax and be pampered, this is the place.

Attractively situated in the centre of Tulum, XscapeTulum features air-conditioned rooms, an outdoor swimming pool, free WiFi and a garden. This 4-star hotel offers a shared lounge and room service. The accommodation provides airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. The room was super clean and everything was fresh. Great water pressure and just steps from the pool. The grounds were immaculate with beautiful tropical plants and setting. The front desk clerk, Jesus, was super helpful and was a native Spanish speaker and also spoke perfect English. Just looking for a roof over my head and was pleasantly surprised by the surroundings. I will be staying there on any subsequent stays.

This distinctly stylish hotel is located just 50 metres from the sandy beach in the heart of Playa del Carmen with shopping, dining and nightlife available nearby.

Kinbe Hotel features a relaxing lush garden setting. Feel at home in the impressive lobby and comfortable guestrooms. Enjoy the sparkling waters of the nearby ocean or take a swim in the hotel's pool boasting a striking waterfall. The hotel was excellent value for a small, older property. Our room was overlooking the courtyard and pool so it was quiet at night and we slept well in a comfortable bed with a nice comforter. There was construction going on in the next door property during the day, but nothing to do with Kinbe. The pool doesn't get much sun, so it was a cool dip but it was clean and very refreshing once we were in! Marie, on the front desk, was very helpful about getting around, and accomodating. We were allowed to leave our bags at the desk both before check in, and after check out to accommodate our schedule and make the most of our time there. You can walk straight down the street to the beach and there's a great restaurant/bar there. We found that piece of beach a bit rocky, but if you walk over one street it opens onto a better part of the beach. Very well located and a great place to stay if you are looking for beach, restaurants or night life nearby.
