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.

The hype
Guests are obsessed with the design and the staff's attentiveness, often calling it a 'dream' stay.
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.

Veelgestelde vragen & Verborgen tips

Can I use the beach if I stay on the jungle side?
Yes, jungle side guests have full access to the beach club and pool across the street.
Is there a gym?
No on-site gym, but they offer yoga and wellness classes.
How bad is the seaweed?
It varies daily. April to October is peak season. Staff clean it daily, but on bad days, the water is brown and swimming is impossible.
Is there parking?
Yes, free valet parking is available, which is a huge perk in Tulum.
Do the rooms have AC?
Yes, all rooms have air conditioning, though it can struggle against the midday heat in open-thatched structures.
