You walk in and you immediately feel like you set foot in a forest surrounded by a peaceful zen vibe. Trees and vegetation are everywhere, and you are literally on the coast. The beach is a short walk over some rocks, and hardly any people. The buddhist style artwork is absolutely stunning, and canopy beds for relaxation for anyone to enjoy. What made the place truly exceptional for us was the people. Every single one of them Enrique, Mike, Carlos, even Marco the owner, all are super hard working and incredibly kind. They succeeded at making all their guests feel welcomed and comfortable. Casa Maria was a lovely treat. We looked forward to our breakfast right on the beach with coffee, fresh fruit and a choice of various entrees you can pick from the menu. The rotating fruit juices were nothing like I've ever tasted. The pool is a hidden gem tucked away. You feel like you are in a paradise surrounded by trees and the oceanbreeze. I miss waking up to the sound of the singing birds. It was such an incredible experience. I would come back in a heartbeat!

Great budget hotel for the price!…read more The pool is small but quaint, there are 4 lounge chairs and a table as well. They also have snorkel for you to rent for 50 pesos. The front desk is very helpful, good English and will help you book anything you need or provide you recommendations -- they also let me use their phone to call my local tour guide. The location is not in the center of Tulum but is only a 10-15 minute walk, and about a 10-15 minute bike ride down to the ruins. It is right next to the San Francisca Supermarket - which if you ask the ADO bus they will stop right there. Wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. They provide a safe in the room, comfy bed with air conditioning, great water pressure on the shower -- great stay!

The pool area is well shaded (I enjoy my family's exposure to ionizing radiation being as low as reasonably achievable) and the hotel was quiet for my baby's naps. However, the most important thing to mention is the hospitality. Picture a dear friend of yours, and that they know where everything is, how to do everything, answers questions without you even knowing that you needed the answer, and that they speak 9 languages. This person is named Jana, and she made our stay here wonderful. The owners are also kind, magnificent individuals. If I were to win the lottery tomorrow, which would be odd since I don't gamble, I would promptly obtain a permanent residence here and spend the rest of my days enjoying the pool, and absorbing Jana's contagious optimistic perspective.

Another staff member helped carry our bags and assisted us throughout the photoshoot, making everything seamless and stress-free. The team even surprised us with a bottle of champagne after the final set of photos, which was such a thoughtful touch. The property itself is stunning. The chandelier room, velvet room, and Pablo Escobar mansion areas made every part of the experience feel surreal and artistic.

The staff are just amazing, food great, S.p.A. great, so we came back... Fast forward to two years later- we stayed at Kasa K'uyen. Adults only- it was so quiet and intimate. We loved it. The rooftop pool and bar is where you found us lol. We stayed in the suite with the plunge pool because all PH were occupied. The only downside to this is, the PH and suite are attached. You can basically hear everything upstairs. We heard this lady cursing her kids back at home, we thought we were in the same room as her. If we return, a standard room will work perfectly fine. We love the staff, food, drinks and overall people. I would highly recommend this place. It's home away from home.

I don't think we could have picked a better place to spend our honeymoon!…read more I booked with Kasa mainly because of how beautiful the hotel looked in photos, but also because of all the great reviews. We stayed in one of the penthouse suites, and it was an absolute dream. I HIGHLY recommend booking through the hotel's website, as you'll get a lot of free perks that way. Free breakfast, free tequila, welcome cocktails, and a possible room upgrade if you booked one of the standard rooms. Our suite was lovely, but the best part is the private rooftop with your own pool.... It was the perfect place to wind down after a long day! There's also a pool in the center of the hotel, with a swim up bar. Their restaurant, Kocina, was fantastic. We went here almost every morning for breakfast and had a few dinners here as well. They will also bring your food to your room if you prefer, which was a great perk. The staff were incredible and helped us with everything we needed. We booked an excursion and our covid tests through the hotel, and they always kept great communication. The hotel used Whatsapp to text us, which I LOVED.... It was so easy to simply send a text rather than to call or walk down to the front desk. The location is nice, too. It is in a quiet area next to other boutique hotels and was a 30 minute walk to the main part of town. They also offered a free shuttle to take you to the beach. If you're thinking about staying in Tulum, I would definitely check out Kasa. It was amazing and made our time here even better with their hospitality

I found this place on the Michelin Guide and it did NOT disappoint! I would send everyone here if I could. The rooms remind me of a jungle layout except near the beach and they stock the rooms with lots of drinkable water and include everyday room service along with a welcome coffee and pastries. I kid you not they went above and beyond to get me my coffee even though I was booked to the brim with activities in most mornings. I really appreciated their service. It's super easy to contact them so whatever you need is through WhatsApp. I enjoyed my birthday trip here and they made me feel so accommodated I really feel like I stayed at a 5 star resort! Getting the cabana beds out on the beach was easy you just have to say your room number and they'll get you there asap. I just also really enjoyed the wet bar and the pool on hotter days.

TIP !! Bring bug spray or some bug repellant. we got eaten up. by the end of the trip i prob had over 50 bug bites all over. very very rough!

We needed a quick escape and decided to come to Tulum for a few days…read more We saw a few YouTube videos on Nomade and thought it looked beautiful so decided to stay here. First, let me just say that taxis and parking in tulum are insane. Despite this being a high end resort there is no shuttle for guests and no parking. So you're beholden to leveraging their bikes which you can rent for free between 12-5 daily or the ridiculous taxis waiting outside the entrance. If you do choose to rent a car, parking is street only and this seems ridiculous for a resort. I will note on their website they say they have parking but when we reached out directly to the hotel to inquire about parking (because we were considering renting a car) they explicitly told us it was street parking only. Ok, since we are on the negatives I'll continue by noting that check in isn't until 4pm daily so an early arrival means you can hang out in the public areas but just be aware of that when you dress for an early arrival. The other negatives, our beach access suite (the second most expensive room/suite available) did have its own pool and outdoor seating area but this area only got early morning sun. This made the area not very enjoyable to use for the majority of the day because it was fully enclosed/shaded and the "lounge area" was a couch so not ideal for lounging. Additionally, we saw a few crawly uninvited guests in our room. Ants in our toilet room and then a rather large cockroach on our sink/vanity area. With the indoor/outdoor nature vibe of this resort these guests I'm sure are a common nuisance but definitely not what you'd expect for $1000/night. The area of the resort is very intricate and maze like and while this weaving of the jungle/beach is a vibe it for sure it is not accessible to anyone with mobility issues. One of the main dining areas also offered primarily low/backless seating so again, not the best for comfort or accessibility. We also had power outages our last night - this definitely made the room pretty humid and difficult to sleep in (but the storm was great to listen to and watch). For a place like this and a per night rate as high as they charge, they should have dependable generators. Also, not necessarily a negative but important to note, there are no TVs in any of the rooms, so bring a few great books and indulge in the activities and conversations with your fellow guests. The resort does have great beach accessibility with plenty of loungers for guests. But the area also had a LOT of people walking around during the day selling various items. This definitely made it feel less like a private beach and more just like a public one which was again, disappointing. The last negative I will give for this place is we did meet up with friends who live in Tulum and who came over to join us for a lounge-y day and despite again, having one of the most expensive per night suites they did try to charge us for their "day passes". Thankfully, they said they'd make an exception which honestly, shouldn't even be a discussion given the room cost and the fact that we ordered food and drink throughout the day and had it charged to the room. So now for some highlights - as the YouTube and instareel highlights will showcase the resort itself is very "vibey". The suite we stayed in was nicely appointed and did have lots of big spacious windows providing great sea views and sounds. The bed was very comfy and big - plus the room came with a separate large seating lounge area. The pool and water feature was beautiful but again because it was shaded for the majority of the day the water remained pretty crisp. Another positive is there are daily activities you can sign up for and experience - including various yoga, sound bathing, and a really cool bonfire and stargazing. The main eating area also had live DJs and music on the nights we stayed and that was great to have available. The food was really tasty albeit very tourist priced. We enjoyed snacks on the beach (the tuna tartar and guacamole were both super fresh and delicious) and dinner at Mercado the first night (taboule salad and a great Mediterranean take on a taco). Both of these dishes were tasty and big enough to share. Our booking did include a daily breakfast but ordering more than one coffee resulted in a charge and that seems pretty petty when the cost per night is over $1000usd. It's also important to note that if you have an early check out, and pay for the breakfast, your option on your departure date is a sad boxed "lunch". This again, is wildly unacceptable for the cost. Guests leaving early should be able to place a breakfast order to go the night before their departure and not just be given a sad, tasteless boxed option. All in all, it was a great getaway for us because we were able to switch off but we'd not recommend this as a place that's worth its nightly rate. If we come back to Tulum we will for sure look for different accommodations.

We ate breakfast basically every morning at the hotel and we enjoyed everything from the pancakes, granola, oat, avocado toast, teas, and coffees. For lunch and dinner we ate at Mezzanine, casa Maria, and also went outside of the national park down by the hotel zone. The massage was great, we booked ahead of time for the couples massage and really liked it. Overall, we had an amazing experience at Mi Amor, we felt safe and enjoyed our time there.
