This hotel is a true eco-luxury boutique gem that perfectly reflects the unique spirit of Tulum. Intimately sized and beautifully designed, it is nestled between the jungle and the sea, blending seamlessly with nature while offering refined comfort and a deeply calming atmosphere. From the moment of arrival, the hotel’s positive energy and tranquil vibe make you feel completely at ease. The beach is pristine and stunning, ideal for long walks, while the jungle surroundings add a sense of privacy, harmony, and connection with nature. Watching the sunrise over the ocean is an unforgettable experience. The atmosphere is peaceful and serene, ideal for disconnecting and fully relaxing. The rooms were exceptional—spacious, beautifully curated, and supremely comfortable, with natural materials, artisanal details, and high-quality finishes. Everything was immaculate and thoughtfully designed, creating a sense of intimacy, authenticity, and refined boutique luxury. Another wonderful aspect is the friendly, open atmosphere of Tulum South Beach. It’s incredibly easy to meet people here—whether during beach walks, at nearby cafés, or over sunset cocktails—which adds a warm and social dimension to the otherwise tranquil experience. The staff were warm, professional, and genuinely attentive, adding to the sense of personalized boutique hospitality. A special mention goes to the manager, Sonja, who was truly exceptional—kind, attentive, and highly professional, ensuring a seamless and welcoming experience throughout the stay. SANA TULUM is perfect for travelers seeking a boutique eco-luxury experience, combining jungle, beach, sustainability, tranquility, and understated elegance in one of Tulum’s most beautiful settings. Highly recommended—I would gladly return.

It was tucked away in the forest with beautiful treasures on the property- rivers, cenotes, walking path in the woods, bicycles, kayaks! The staff were exceptional, and the whole experience was fabulous. Despite the rains we had a beautiful time. They also had a great wellness activity lined up every day. Absolutely loved it! Point to note is that it is a good drive away from the streets of Tulum.

We enjoyed every day of our stay at Xela. Everything exceeded our expectations: the stunning hotel amenities, the delicious food, and the exceptional service. The entire Concierge team was incredibly attentive, promptly addressing every request. They were quick to resolve any inquiries via WhatsApp. During our stay, we celebrated a birthday, and the team went above and beyond by arranging a surprise setup in our room and even ordering a birthday cake! This hotel is truly on another level, and we can’t wait to return.

Amazing location and amazing staff. However, I feel very disappointed when I see this hotel advertised as a five-star hotel. This is a three-star hotel in a great location with nice staff. That’s it."

The hotel was amazing. Set between the jungle and the beach it has plenty of space for guests to relax, eat and drink and always felt calm and exclusive. From start to finish the staff were friendly, helpful and attentive. The food was good quality and the hotel is a short walk to a number of great restaurants.

They served all meals to the room at no extra cost. Food was tasty. Staff were very helpful and could be contacted immediately on WhatsApp. They gifted us free wine on the first night. Staff were lovely and warm and wished me happy birthday on the day.. though I don't know how they knew! Sun loungers always available. The view from the balcony was superb.

classy. Green and lush despite being on the beach road flanked by some of the loudest hippest clubs and restaurants. Beautiful rooms. Rain showers, morning coffee brought to the verandah, yoga classes and a chic chill vibe

Casa Malca is a wonderful hotel. Loved it. The staff were amazing and went out of their way to be of service. Thank you so much. High quality bedding as you would expect from a decent 5 star Love the location down at the quiet end of the beach The decor and art was dramatic and rich Room massive. The garden rooms are much nicer and quieter, the ground floor rooms have huge terraces with beds. We would def stay here again
