My husband and I are excited to stay at Huaya Camp that was on the list!
I recently stayed at Teetotum Hotel and had such a great stay! The hotel is close to many restaurants and shops which was nice. I especially loved the hotel’s unique decor.
Thank you for compiling this list of hotels. This has made planning my trip so easy.
Ahau Tulum looks beautiful! I am definitely going to try to convince my husband to let us stay at one of these luxury hotels the next time we are in Tulum.
Love this list of hotels. I started getting overwhelmed with all the different places to stay, but this list really narrowed it down. Thank you for this!
The Hotel Zone has really become pricey. I love that you included places in Tulum Pueblo. Some good options here, thanks.
Thanks for the great information. We’re planning our trip this month! So excited to travel again.
Glamping?! That looks fabulous! Will have to try that next time we visit Tulum.
Tulum is one of the best places in central america. We will be back later this year to visit again and will use this great information. Thanks you.
