Mamasan Treehouses & Cabins
$115-250/ night
Book this if You want the Instagrammable 'jungle treehouse' aesthetic without the $1,000/night price tag and plan to be out partying until 3am anyway.
Why People Love It
- Stunning geodesic domes and wooden treehouse architecture
- Bathtubs with jungle views in select upper-level rooms
- Central location in the Hotel Zone near popular restaurants and clubs
Quick Take: A visually cool jungle crash pad that is unfortunately located next to one of Tulum's loudest nightclubs.
Reviewed by @simplyjaade: I decided to treat myself to the Bamboo Suite and it was the definition of a luxury treehouse. The balcony was so peaceful for my morning coffee, and climbing up to the loft bed made me feel like I was in a fairytale. Just be ready for those steep stairs!

FAQ & Hidden tips
Everything you actually want to know before you book.
Is there a pool?
No. There is no pool on the property.
Is it on the beach?
No, it is on the jungle side of the road. You must walk across the street and find a public access point or pay for a beach club.
Is breakfast included?
Usually no. A continental or vegetarian breakfast is available for an extra charge (approx. $10-15 USD).
Is there AC?
Yes, rooms have air conditioning, which is a huge plus for a treehouse hotel in this area.
Is it adults only?
Yes, guests must be 18+.
How bad is the noise really?
Bad. If you are a light sleeper, this is a dealbreaker. The bass vibrates the rooms until the club closes.
Insider Tips
- ✨
Walk to 'Matcha Mama' nearby for a better breakfast bowl than the hotel offers.
- ✨
Use the 'Amansala' beach club nearby; it's often more accessible for non-guests than others.
- ✨
The rooftop terrace is a great spot for sunset yoga, even if there's no pool.
5 things to know before you go
💡The 'treehouses' are beautiful but the glass walls mean zero privacy in some units—people walking by can see right in.
💡The water pressure in the showers is surprisingly good for an eco-hotel.
💡You might encounter scorpions or large spiders in your room; you are literally in the jungle.
💡The 'private' bathtubs in some domes are visible from other parts of the property.
💡The WiFi is decent for messaging but don't count on it for Zoom calls.
