Be Tulum

Be Tulum hotel has been described by recent travelers as everything from a "bohemian jungle paradise" to a "simplistically beautiful" property. The hotel's suites are decorated with natural materials and wood finishes, though a few guests noted the rooms were a bit dark. Each suite includes its own private plunge pool or Jacuzzi, complimentary Wi-Fi access and a sitting area. The property sits alongside a beach in Tulum, Mexico, so guests have direct access to the ocean, as well as lounge chairs, daybeds and thatched palapa coverings. Be Tulum also houses a spa and offers fee-based yoga and meditation classes. When it's time for a meal, guests can enjoy ceviche and fresh seafood at Maresias; sample tacos or freshly grilled lobster at 4 Fuegos; sit down for a dinner of small plates at Ocumare; or grab some casual drinks at the Beach Bar. As far as service goes, past visitors offered mixed reviews. Some described the hotel's employees as "friendly" and "helpful," while others said they would have appreciated more smiles from some staff members. You'll find the hotel about 6 miles south of Tulum's Mayan ruins by Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve's northern border.
