The hype
Reviewers universally adore the staff and the 'private villa' feel, often calling it a romantic sanctuary.
Encantada Tulum
$450-900/ nacht
Boek dit als You want a hyper-intimate, barefoot-luxury disconnect on the quiet end of the beach where you can hear the waves from your bed.
Waarom mensen ervan houden
- Only 8 rooms means zero crowds and personalized service
- Direct access to a quieter stretch of beach near the Sian Ka'an biosphere
- Sister-property privileges at Radhoo (pool) and Nü (dining)
Snel Overzicht: It's a stunning, unplugged paradise, but for $600+ a night, the lack of in-room coffee and a pool on-site might sting.
Beoordeeld door @ginagoesto: I stayed at this tiny boutique spot and it was paradise. With just eight rooms, I never had to fight for a beach chair. Waking up to the ocean breeze in that canopy bed was the highlight of my trip. It feels like a secret beach house.

Reality check
The most common gripe is the lack of a coffee maker in the room—you have to wait for the restaurant to open at 8:00 AM for your caffeine fix.
- You hate fighting for beach chairs at mega-resorts
- You prefer falling asleep to ocean sounds rather than DJ sets
- You are okay with 'rustic luxury' (thatched roofs, no TV)
Schoonmaak & Onderhoud
8.8
- Housekeeping: Daily service is thorough; turn-down service often includes a small treat or aromatherapy.
- Bathroom hygiene: Generally spotless, though the open-air design can sometimes invite sand or small insects.
- Maintenance: Rustic chic means some wear and tear on wood and thatch is visible but intentional.
- Linens & towels: High-quality, fresh linens. Beach towels are plush and plentiful.
- Odors & scents: Smells of copal incense and sea salt; no musty complaints found.

“I would love to request one of the Upper Beachfront rooms (like Cielo) for the vaulted ceilings and ocean breeze. If that is not possible, please prioritize a room as far from the road as possible to minimize traffic noise.”
Veelgestelde vragen & Verborgen tips
Alles wat je eigenlijk wilt weten voordat je boekt.
Is there a pool?
Not on-site. You have free access to the pool at Radhoo Tulum, a sister property about a 5-minute walk north.
Is it adults-only?
Technically 12+, but the vibe is very much adult/couples. You won't find a kids' club here.
Is there AC?
Yes, all rooms have air conditioning, which is crucial for Tulum summers.
How is the Wi-Fi?
Serviceable for emails and messaging, but can be spotty. Don't plan on hosting Zoom webinars.
Can I drink the water?
No. The hotel provides filtered water in glass pitchers/bottles. Do not drink from the tap.
Is parking available?
Yes, free private parking is available on-site, a rarity in the hotel zone.
Tips van Insiders
- ✨
Ask for a yoga mat for your terrace; the decks are huge and perfect for a private morning flow.
- ✨
The 'continental' breakfast is high quality—homemade breads and local jams—don't skip it.
- ✨
Walk to 'La Taqueria' at Km 8.2 for a more casual lunch than the hotel restaurant.
5 dingen die je moet weten voordat je gaat
💡The 'Garden View' rooms are significantly darker than the oceanfront ones due to jungle foliage.
💡You can hear the neighbors in the adjacent room if they are loud; the 'rustic' build means soundproofing isn't concrete-bunker level.
💡The shower water is slightly salty (brackish), which is common in Tulum eco-hotels.
💡There are no TVs in the rooms—digital detox is forced, not optional.
💡Room service stops relatively early (around 10 PM), so stock up on late-night snacks.
