The hype
Guests are obsessed with the 'Instagrammable' design and food quality but frustrated by the confusing circular layout and the 'commute' to the beach.
Secrets Tulum Resort & Beach Club
$350-650/ Nacht
Buchen Sie dieses Hotel, wenn You want the 'Tulum vibe' (cenotes, jungle, boho-chic design) with the safety net of a luxury all-inclusive, and don't mind taking a shuttle to the beach.
Warum Gäste es lieben
- Stunning 'cenote-style' architecture that feels like a private jungle oasis
- Access to the exclusive Zamna Beach Club (a legit vibe, not just a few chairs)
- High-quality dining that actually feels like a restaurant, not a cafeteria
Kurzfassung: It's a gorgeous jungle fortress that forces you to commute to the ocean—know that before you book.
Bewertet von @ienvy_travel: I stayed in the Deluxe Suite and honestly, the privacy features blew me away. The 'Secret Box' for room service meant I didn't have to see anyone if I didn't want to. Plus, the outdoor tub on the balcony was the perfect spot to unwind. Highly recommend for couples.
Was Gäste, die hier übernachtet haben, sagten
Reality check
The 'swim-out' pools are often too cold to use in the winter months and lack the privacy you'd expect from the photos.
- You prefer pool hopping and jungle vibes over 24/7 ocean views
- You want to explore Aldea Zama's local cafes and bars (walkable safety)
- You love the 'Tuluminati' aesthetic but hate the lack of AC/water pressure in actual Tulum eco-hotels
Sauberkeit & Instandhaltung
8.8
- Housekeeping: Generally excellent and thorough. Daily restocking of minibars is consistent.
- Bathroom hygiene: Sparkling. Modern grout and fixtures mean no 'old hotel' grime.
- Maintenance: New property (2023/24), so everything works, though some 'settling' cracks or leaks were reported early on.
- Linens & towels: Fresh, high-thread-count, and plentiful.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells like signature aromatherapy; rooms can be musty if AC is off due to humidity.

Zimmer-Genie

Zimmerwunsch-Genie – kopieren & einfügen
“I am requesting a Corner Junior Suite on an upper floor if possible, or a swim-out unit at the end of a building to avoid the 'fishbowl' effect of the shared walkways. Quiet location away from the rooftop DJ is a priority.”
FAQ & Geheimtipps
Alles, was Sie vor der Buchung wirklich wissen möchten.
Is it actually on the beach?
No. The main resort is in the jungle (Aldea Zama). The beach club is a 15-30 minute shuttle ride away.
How often does the shuttle run?
Typically every 30 minutes from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Verify the last return time daily—missing it means a $40+ taxi.
Are the swim-out pools heated?
Hit or miss. Many guests report them being freezing cold, especially in winter months or shaded courtyards.
Can I walk to town?
You can walk to Aldea Zama's shops and cafes (very safe/cute). Downtown Tulum (Pueblo) is a short taxi ride; the Hotel Zone is a longer trek.
Is the food actually good?
Yes. Surprisingly high marks for an all-inclusive. The seafood at Bluewater Grill and the tacos at the beach club are standouts.
Is it a party resort?
It has moments (rooftop foam parties), but it's generally more 'chill couple' vibes than 'spring break rager'.
Insider-Tipps
- ✨
The 'Coco Café' is 24 hours—perfect for late-night snacks when everything else is closed.
- ✨
Book the 'Teppanyaki' table at Jasmine immediately upon arrival; it fills up fast.
- ✨
Use the 'Secret Box' for room service if you want zero human interaction (they drop food in a pass-through cubby).
5 Dinge, die Sie wissen sollten, bevor Sie losfahren
💡The layout is a maze of circles—you will get lost finding your room for the first 2 days.
💡The 'cenote' pools are beautiful but often shaded and cold; the rooftop pools get the real sun.
💡You can create your own 'nightclub' in the ballrooms after hours if you have a group (ask the concierge).
💡The bathroom lighting is 'moody' (dim)—bad for makeup, great for vibes.
💡The beach club has a separate 'Preferred Club' area that is significantly nicer than the general seating.
