Dinner on the beach with a wonderful mariachi bang

Our time in Tulum at The Beach was absolutely magical! Our room was spectacular! Waking up to views of the ocean every morning made to a great beginning to our day. As beautiful as the property is, it is the service here that sets it apart from any other hotel that I've ever been to. From the front desk to the bar to the restaurants to room service to the spa, the service was world class. The people that work here made every single day or our vacation the best day. I can't wait to go back!

Private beach bed

We spent 6 days here for our 20th anniversary. It was perfect. Exactly what we needed. Relaxing, great food, service was amazing. The spa was excellent. Great location in Tulum. They arranged a private excursion and all our transportation. We got an upper level room which offered great privacy. We will definitely be back. Thank you for the memories to last a lifetime.

Beautiful resort. The first thing I noticed is how extremely clean and well kept the ground is. There are constantly multiple people wiping things down, disinfecting, sweeping, just tidying up. We spent one night in a rooftop room and it was SO relaxing and pleasant! The views are amazing and we loved our room with a coffee pot, huge tub in the bathroom (and on the roof!), and comfortable bed and pillows. The service is the most standout, though. I cannot remember everyone's name, but Javier, Tania, Alejandro, and others were amazing. The communication through WhatsApp is very easy. They even brought up a bag of ice at 11pm for my boyfriends twisted ankle. Very sweet and considerate. I'd also like to note that as someone who speaks a decent bit of Spanish but isn't fluent, the staff is very good with English. If I ever come back to Tulum I would definitely stay here!

Our welcome drinks provided when we arrived - a delicious mezcal and pineapple concoction!

My husband and I enjoyed our first few days as husband and wife at The Beach Tulum and we are already talking about booking again next year. This adorable boutique hotel puts guest experience on the forefront, focusing on even the smallest details to create a wonderful and personalized stay. The entire staff was friendly, polite, and so very helpful. Upon arrival, we were greeted by Uli and Barbara, who had both been in touch via email and WhatsApp in the week and days prior to arrival to ensure we had everything we needed set up to make it an unforgettable stay. They helped us pre-book a sunset couples massage (which was amazing!). After we checked in, Uli gave us a tour of the property, the neighboring restaurants (Ziggy's and Fresco's) and then finally our room. Our room was immaculate and so beautifully decorated. We opted for the Junior Suite (direct beach view and access + plunge pool) and it was perfect! The plunge pool was always very warm and we had our own reserved beach bed (enough room for 2) just steps away from the sliding glass back door of our room. There were beautiful views of the ocean from any point in the room and outside deck. The beach is also very private and monitored by security (who were all super friendly and even helped us spot a couple of osprey sitting atop of the hotel roof on our last day there). There is also full bar service on the beach, with a simple text via Whatsapp, you could have whatever drink you wanted delivered right to you. We were also presented with a complimentary welcome beverage when we first checked in (a pineapple + mezcal drink that was delicious!). Now back to our room. The staff knew it was our honeymoon and had decorated the bed with rose petals and had left us a very sweet card + a bottle of sparkling wine to celebrate. The room had a very powerful, temperature customizable AC unit + fan directly above the bed which kept us nice and cool at night. The bathroom was spacious and had a great soaking tub (enough room for 2) and a rain shower. On top of the amazing room, the hotel boasts 2 of the best restaurants in the area. Seriously - we are big Yelp fans and both Ziggy's and Fresco's rated as the top 2 spots in the area. During your stay, the hotel provides complimentary breakfast at both restaurants. We tried breakfast at both and loved our meals. We also ate at Ziggy's our first night there and the dinner was also amazing! Lastly, the location is ideal. Very close to all of the exciting restaurants, shops, and nightlife spots and even very close to a nearby cenote (about a 5 min walk). The hotel provides free bikes and we biked all across town and also went over to check out the Tulum ruins. Our last 2 days at the hotel, we walked on the beach and looked at all of the other resorts. The Beach Tulum by far has the most serene and private beach, but also the best looking resort presence. It is well-manicured and provided both sun and shade thanks to its beautiful palm trees sprawling the beach. All in all, we were very sad to leave The Beach Tulum this past Saturday. We have now found the perfect slice of heaven in Tulum and can't wait to come back!

My boyfriend and I had an amazing week here a month ago. The staff was so attentive, they mad us feel so special and we loved every minute we spent here. The hotel focuses on all the details even the smallest ones. The interiors were glamorous, and breathtaking. We will be back!!!

Paradise. I highly recommend the rooftop jacuzzi room. You can fall asleep and wake up to gorgeous views of the ocean with amazing sunrises. Great far star gazing too. We took most of our dinners & breakfast on our patio which was easy to do. You just text the bar on WhatsApp and they bring you what you want. This hotel is perfect for relaxation and privacy. Perfect for couples looking for a romantic get away. Ps. If you want the best authentic Mexican food I highly suggest these places: - Fresco's (brkfest: fresh/healthy), - la Eufemia (lunch: the original Tulum - tacos and hippies), - and Encantada (romantic dinner).

My husband and I have traveled quite a lot, and honestly, this is one of the best, if not THE best hotel we have ever stayed at. The staff is fantastic, super attentive and just nice. The hotel is a beautiful mix between Earthy and high end. The on site restaurants have good food. The views and amenities cannot be beat! The location is right in the middle of the hopping Tulum strip. They even have complimentary bikes to ride around. We really could not find anything bad to say, except maybe we wish there was one more fan in our room, because it did get a little warm at times. Otherwise, it was near perfection!

See all

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.

Pure magic! We stayed for a week in February and it's technically the off-season which meant fewer…read morepeople, a wide-open beach, and perfect weather. Everything felt calm, spacious, and unhurried. We booked the Sea View Ground Floor Suite with Plunge Pool and it was gorgeous. The room had a king bed, two twin pullouts, a small dining table, and a bright, spa-like bathroom with 2 rain showers, dual sinks, and a separate toilet room. The private deck and plunge pool faced the ocean and beach with an unobstructed sunrise view. If we wanted it heated like a hot tub, we'd message the concierge on WhatsApp and they'd turn it on almost instantly. Service was thoughtful and seamless. Check-in was easy, communication was clear, and every night we received pastries and a thermos of tea in different flavors like lemongrass and hibiscus as a surprise treat. On arrival, the adults were welcomed with margaritas and our kids with pineapple juice. Housekeeping was meticulous, right down to straightening our shoes. Beach towels and cover ups were in the room and beachside food and drink service made it easy to spend all day by the ocean. The hotel is small (about 49 rooms) so the beach never felt crowded and there was always space to relax without competing for loungers. We were traveling with family (both of my brothers and their families), and the staff made a real effort to place rooms near each other, which made the experience even more special. Luxurious, relaxed, and genuinely welcoming. NOTES/TIPS: **Book early if you want a specific room type. We booked about four months out and availability was already limited. **They're strict about room occupancy limits. If you have more than 4 in your family, a second room is required. **If you don't want to rent a car or get a taxi, the hotel can arrange round-trip airport transportation for $400 plus tip. **Checkout is at noon. Staff will check the room for any left-behind items and the front desk can hold your luggage if you want to stay and enjoy the property longer.

Very quiet location - except for the one night there was salsa dancing and a band. However as promised they ended by 11 and it was fun to have that entertainment right there. It was our first visit to Tulum so we were also super happy with WHERE this is in relation to shops and restaurants. We really had a great walk either way on the beach to experience other places during the day, and in the evening we were close enough to walk to many places for food or cocktails. Loved the amenities at the hotel- 2 bars, restaurant with delicious food, in room pour-over coffee set up, safe, fridge, safe drinking water. Would recommend La Zebra!

It gives the impression that the entire restaurant is elevated among the trees. Up on the second floor, you'll find the main dining area, plus a bar, a DJ booth, and a space for dancing. If you go higher, there's a level with private little booths for dining, and it truly feels like you're sitting in a tree. I've visited this restaurant twice for dinner, and both times it was aesthetic heaven - the atmosphere was truly fantastic! Unfortunately, I can't say the same for the food quality. Most of the dishes my partner and I tried were just okay. Honestly, there wasn't a single dish I'd call delicious. The menu isn't very big, but it does have a few interesting options. On our last visit, we decided to share several appetizers: Naan Bread, Guacamole, Crab Croquette, Fish and Chips, Tuna Cakes. From all that, we only really liked and enjoyed the fish and chips and the crab croquette. The rest wasn't good - especially the naan bread, which was hard and flavorless. The tuna cakes were very dry and tasteless as well. From my first visit, I also remember the food tasting just okay. I did try the Grilled Octopus, which I liked, but definitely didn't love. To make matters worse, the prices on the menu are quite high. The food quality doesn't match the prices at all. Even the drinks, including soft drinks, are overpriced. For example, when I ordered a mocktail, they brought me a glass that was half-filled with ice; and the drink cost 300 Mexican pesos (U.S. $16). Crazy! Another negative point is the extremely loud music on the main second floor. It's impossible to have a conversation if you sit in the middle of that level. However, if you go to the separate area across the little bridge, the music is a bit quieter, but still louder than it should be for a relaxing dinner. The first time I visited, I got a table on the uppermost level, and the noise level was much better up there. I definitely preferred that upper area. On a positive note, I want to mention the sweet staff - the hostess and waiters were always extremely nice to me. But both times I visited, the waiters didn't check on us much during the meal. Also, if the restaurant is busy, food preparation can be very slow; we waited more than 40 minutes for our order. To sum up: I do recommend visiting this place, but more as a visual and artistic experience, not for the food. Go for the atmosphere, enjoy a drink and a tasty appetizer like the fish and chips or crab croquette, but plan to have your main meal elsewhere if you're looking for truly delicious food.

We were given the information about the property and all the amenities as well as given a tour and then shown to our room, typically when you first arrive, they perform a greeting cleanse to, clear energy, set your vibe and give you a little taste of the beautiful Mayan cultural traditions. Unfortunately, when we were shown over to the location where they perform the energy cleanse no one was there so they said we'd have to come back the next day which never ended up happening. Finally, moments before we were checking out we asked if it was possible just to see what the experience was like before we left. That part was actually really good, especially after our experience staying here for six days, which will make sense by the end of this review. When we checked in, it was already dark out but the design and lighting as well as the bio inspired architecture which fuses art in nature was pretty cool to see. They only give you one key for your room for some odd reason, it was a little inconvenient because it meant that me and my wife had to be together at all moments and couldn't explore or do services separately without the hassle of having to meet up to share the key, or the other option is to go walk all the way to the front desk, which, although the walk is beautiful, the design of the floor is made out of a bunch of branches for the walkway and is very difficult to navigate, especially at night so walking turned out to be more of a hassle, but that's just me being nit-picky. The other option is you can reach out to your concierge and then they can send someone which means you're waiting sometimes 5 to 10 minutes, again very small minor inconveniences but nonetheless adds up when staying there for six days. It definitely has an effect on the overall appeal and serenity that one would expect from a place like this. The room itself had two very small shelf like closets definitely not enough hangers or space to accommodate both of our very limited wardrobe that we brought. I had to put 2 to 3 shirts on one hanger and hang the pants inside and that's literally all I brought other than T-shirts and socks and underwear and one pair of nice shoes I literally packed very minimal and still didn't have enough space... again very small inconvenience but nonetheless 20 different small inconveniences all fused together to make one kind of annoying overall experience. Now I can say that I have mixed feelings about the minimal electricity and necessity to use tea candles for our lighting, but I respect the sustainability aspect of it and it did make very nice environment and mood. The only downside is they tell you that you don't blow the candles out and you can leave them on overnight and we had one explode right next to our heads and over all of our bathroom essentials. The shower is right in the middle there's no protection for water so it gets all over the floor, I nearly slipped a few times because of it. Probably sounds nit picky, but these are things I believe make it or break it for places like this. We experienced some type of mishap daily. We ordered hot water and they brought a dirty used coffee pot. They left the dirty brush in the toilet area. Didn't pick it up until the following day. Asked us if we could place it outside the door. Took forever to bring blankets. They got maybe 8/10 requests wrong and charged us for some and denied that, so wasn't able to get a refund. wasn't much, but principally speaking it's horrible feeling in the midst of many things going wrong. Atmosphere - 90% (small weird sewage smell almost everywhere except the room) Vibe - 80% Cost - 75% should be more enjoyable for the price imo... i dont mind paying extra for experience when its on point Food - 60% (first meal, room-service, was incredible {and cost matched that} every other meal on property lacked in all ways except the sushi which we enjoyed as a snack before going to dinner off site. Really over priced in general but the experience and design makes it palatable. Service - 2 stars overall (except for our concierge who had to deal with her associates lack of professionalism and incredible number of mistakes made each day). Location/architecture,view - 100 (If it wasn't for the sound of the ocean slapping the rocks below our balcony and the sound of the waves soothing us at night, waking up to the most amazing view from bed facing the ocean and the sunrise and also the sunsets each night with a great breeze and insane temperatures than this trip would probably have been all bad. My suggestion. Book 1-2 nights for the location and view then find a better spot elsewhere.

There are no concierge reliably onsite. You are given a WhatsApp number to text and sometimes they can be very slow to respond. First issue I ran into was the concierge's lack of punctuality and poor communication regarding bike rentals. She promised a bike at 8am but 15 mins before the agreed upon time texted me that she could not follow through. I agreed to wait until 10 but was delayed a second time until 11. The second delay was not even communicated to me without my prompting. See chat screenshots. The main issue was my balcony was flooded by careless guests upstairs who left their outdoor tub running (see pic). I was splashed and had to change. My phone also got wet and I could not charge it for the rest of the night until it dried. I could have had other valuables such as electronics out that could have been irreparably damaged and I could not use either loungers, which were soaking wet for the rest of the day/night. The water ran for 10 mins before hotel staff could stop it. No one came to clean my balcony. However, most disappointing was the concierge's refusal to take accountability for the incident (again, see screenshots). I would have been happy with a complementary margarita but instead was completely dismissed. I asked to speak to a manager on site and was told there were none. I asked for an email address or phone number and was given only the reservation email address. I detailed my experience in an email and waited 2 weeks before righting this review. No one replied. It is my experience that guests' conduct at the hotel is within the control and part of the hotel's responsibility and that top tier hospitality establishments, which I had assumed Azulik to be, value customer satisfaction and have accountability. I was sadly wrong.

Having stayed at wonderful Hyatt properties, I expected more from this place but it under-delivered in every way. I've never been so disappointed in my vacationing experience. Barely anyone can communicate; the English across the staff at the resort was terrible. The food was AWFUL. Truly never been so disgusted by food in my travels. It is edible, but terrible quality and just doesn't taste good at all. The drinks aren't any good either. The setting is nice as far as the beach and jungle. The beach is rocky so not great for playing in the water but the palm trees and rocks lining the coast are pretty. But the overall experience leaves SO MUCH to be desired. If you want a cheap experience in Mexico I guess this is the place. But if you're looking for good food and drinks or top tier service, you must go elsewhere. We tried Seaside Grill (gross), Himitsu (worst hibachi we've tasted), Bordeaux (really bad), World Cafe (some decent offerings in the buffet but overall poor quality), Portofino (not good), and El Patio (best option but it's Mexican food so it should be great and it was so subpar). The drinks from the bars are so lackluster. Even the ice cream at the resort is terrible!! We had it in town and it was awesome. We went into town to have a really nice meal at ARCA and wow, Mexico does have fantastic food and drinks, they just cannot possibly be found at this resort. Taxis anywhere from the resort are highway robbery. We paid through the nose to taxi to this restaurant and explore a different part of town but it was worth it to have a meal outside of the resort. They didn't clean our room for three days because some obscure button was pressed that we didn't know about. We tried to get them to clean it but seriously no one knows English... when we finally flagged down a housekeeper after calling the front desk for days to clean our room, she showed the button was pressed (never told about this, no clue it existed) and just laughed at us and left the room. We booked excursions through the resort through Amstar and each one had its downside. One tour was supposed to include a restaurant lunch but didn't without a word about it. One, we were picked up first before picking up three more hotels in the opposite direction of our tour destination only to pass by our hotel after we'd been in the van for an hour and a half, just getting started on the road towards our actual tour. Photographers roam the resort to take photos of you. They offer "free photo shoots." They give you a QR code to access your photos. Can't even buy them online. You have to go into their photo shop to buy them before you leave so they can upsell you. No telling how expensive they are. Would like just one or two but won't get them now that we left because we can't purchase them online. Honestly, our experience here gave us a bad view of vacationing in Mexico. Would never recommend it. The review wouldn't be so harsh if they didn't call themselves a 5-star AAA four diamond resort. Never heard such a bold faced lie.

Raccoon ran rampant around that place. Our room which was a swim up room had so many bugs in it…read more When we want to seaside grill there were roaches on the table one on the butter knife and one next to the plate on the other side of the table. We ended up switching hotels. Please don't stay here. They need a massive overhaul of the whole place. My cousins room was around the corner from my room in the wooded area. I didn't feel safe walking back there. I thought she was playing with me when she said she was in the woods. I was scared it may have been raccoons in the woods but there was definite something outside their room. I quickly moved them to my room until we could get another room for the night. On our way to the other room we encountered several raccoons and cats eating out of the uncovered trash cans. We hadn't ate the whole day ended up at the French restaurant which was decent but we were all reluctant to eat after the roaches in the other restaurant. The other room was better but they charged us extra for that room for the one night. We quickly checked out the next day. Breakfast was lacking breakfast food it was more of cold cuts and danishes. Too much money spent for mediocrity.
