Waarom mensen ervan houden
- The Master Suites with king beds that roll out onto the balcony
- Split design offers two vibes: direct oceanfront or secluded jungle cenote
- NÜ Tulum restaurant is one of the best dining spots in the zone
Snel Overzicht: It’s undeniably magical and photogenic, but the humidity is relentless and the price tag is aggressive even for Tulum.
Beoordeeld door @homtimiste: I was blown away by the sheer scale of this place. The Platinum upgrade is a must—sipping cocktails on that private sunset terrace was the highlight of my trip. It’s the perfect mix of chill pool days and vibrant nightlife right at the resort.

Reality check
For $1,000+ a night, small annoyances like damp towels, AC noise, or lack of privacy in ground-floor rooms sting more than usual.
- You prioritize aesthetics and Instagram-worthy design above all else
- You want a boutique feel (only 22 rooms) rather than a mega-resort
- You are okay with 'barefoot luxury' (sand everywhere, thatched roofs, open-air bathrooms)
Schoonmaak & Onderhoud
8.8
- Housekeeping: Twice daily service (morning clean + turndown). Generally excellent, though sand is a constant battle.
- Bathroom hygiene: High standard, but open-air designs mean humidity can cause musty smells or damp towels.
- Maintenance: Good, but the rustic materials (wood, thatch) show wear quickly in the salt air. Occasional AC drips reported.
- Linens & towels: High quality, but often feel slightly damp due to the climate.
- Odors & scents: Copal incense is burned frequently, masking most other smells.
