Best All-Inclusive Resorts in Tulum

Sitting just 4 miles northeast of Tulum's Mayan ruins, Dreams Tulum Resort & Spa makes a great home base for sightseers. And thanks to its Unlimited-Luxury privileges, travelers can enjoy limitless meals, beverages at seven different bars and lounges, and daily activities. Golfers can start their day by hitting the links at the Riviera Maya Golf Club, a Robert Trent Jones II-designed course, while budding adventurists (ages 3 to 12) can enjoy the great outdoors with the resort's Explorer's Club. Meanwhile, R&R-seekers can head to the Dreams Spa by Pevonia before sprawling along white sands. Once you're ready to step out of the sun, you can escape to your guest room, appointed with a fully stocked minibar, a cable TV, an iPod docking station, complimentary Wi-Fi access and a private balcony or terrace. Travelers are impressed by this Dreams' digs, but even more so by its excellent customer service. Previous visitors say that everyone – from the concierge to the bell hops – works hard to ensure guests feel welcome. The eight on-site restaurants also win over patrons with their globally inspired offerings, from traditional Mexican fare to Asian, French and Italian cuisine.

Wellness and relaxation are the focus of Kore Tulum Retreat and Spa Resort, an all-inclusive property located on the beach in Tulum, Mexico, about 41 miles south of Playa del Carmen. Guests can immerse themselves in a plethora of wellness activities, including capoeira or yoga by the beach, or treat themselves to a massage or moisturizing facial at the full-service spa. The hotel has 94 adults-only suites appointed with flat-screen TVs, minibars, Jacuzzis and garden or ocean views. Recent travelers praised the beautifully manicured grounds and relaxing atmosphere and said the front desk staff was attentive and helpful with requests. When not lounging by the pool or spa, guests can ride bikes to explore nearby Mayan ruins or explore downtown Tulum, which sits about 3 miles north. And when you work up an appetite, head to one of the resort's two restaurants. Being an adults-only resort, Kore Tulum Retreat and Spa Resort is geared towards couples looking to unwind and relax in an oceanfront environment that promotes health and wellness.
