Resumen rápido: A visually spectacular Instagram trap that actually delivers on comfort and service, provided you don't mind taking a taxi to the beach.
Reseñado por @racheldacosta_: I found this hidden gem in Tulum Pueblo and fell in love with the Moroccan vibes. The glass-walled rooftop pool is even cooler in person, and the sunset views with a cocktail were the highlight of my trip. It’s the perfect adults-only escape if you love design.

- You value aesthetics and design over direct beach access
- You want to explore the authentic food scene in Tulum Pueblo
