I have nothing but wonderful things to say about our stay at the Coco Hacienda Tulum! The price is more than reasonable, the location is perfect for walking into town, the service is great, and the rooms are clean and comfortable.
My travel companion and I arrived midday on a Monday. The hotel set us up with airport transport, which is necessary as Tulum is 1.5 hours away. We were able to check in immediately and enjoy the pool right outside our garden room. The room had a large canopy bed, dressers, a tv with streaming options, and a large bathroom. For the price, we were pleasantly surprised! Our room was cleaned daily and the AC and Heat worked wonderfully.
The included breakfast was simple but generous: fresh fruit, yogurt, and pastries with your choice of juice or coffee. It was a great way to start the day when we went off to adventure in Tulum!
The staff was extremely helpful and set us up with cabs whenever we needed them, and were great at giving us suggestions for things to do, see, and eat around town. Tulum town is walkable from the hotel and we never once felt unsafe, even during the two dark and rainy nights we experienced.
We had one full beach day and we spent it at the sister resort, Coco Beach Club Tulum. This was EXTREMELY useful because we didn't realize most of the beachfront in Tulum is private, and the public beaches are very busy. If you eat at the restaurant they waive the beach fee and you can stay all day. It was gorgeous!
The one area of improvement would be the hotel restaurant. We ate here once and it was one of the less delicious meals of the trip. However, ALL food in town is incredible, so even though it wasn't the best it still wasn't bad. The drinks are tasty but you can find cheaper in the area, and the restaurant and bar close very early.
Overall, we loved our experience here and will definitely be back!
Please note: I'm a budget traveler on my first trip to Tulum, so I wasn't expecting a five star hotel. I wanted a warm place to rest my head between adventures that wouldn't break the bank and Coco Hacienda more than delivered! read more
