"Awesome staff and location for a more localized experience walking distance to the center of town. Plenty of restaurants within the vicinity. Excursions and bikes available for purchase/rent. Bar and restaurant located here with pool. Bartenders were great - all 3 that I met - Jorge, Brian and another I can’t remember his name."

"We picked this property for a weeks stay at short notice and we couldn't have been more happy about it.
From arriving when our suitcase was taken care of, until the sad day we had to leave, our experience was exceptional.
The staff was always friendly and attentive, the buffet was plentiful and tasty. The restaurants were great as well and the interior and exterior design well thought through.
Overall, we can only recommend this

"We had a wonderful experience at Kai Tulum! Everything was great, and we really enjoyed our stay. The beach and sea were clean, beautiful, and warm — perfect for relaxing and enjoying the Caribbean. Another big advantage was the nearby Maya archaeological museum, which made the experience even more special for us. The location was excellent, and everything met our expectations. We would definitely recommend Kai Tulum to anyone visiting the area!"

"We had a wonderful time. The staff was excellent. and definitely a place to return to. The beach was good and only hampered by the seaweed, not the fault of the resort The resort was pleasantly tucked inside a gated community, and so there was no noise from street traffic. There were very nice shops at the very short walk to Dolphin Island Marina. We also went on excursions to the Mayan ruins and the Cenotes, each were full days with lots of travel time."

Me gustó mucho este hotel. Las habitaciones son amplias y las camas muy cómodas. La piscina es divina y el entorno está lleno de vegetación, lo que hace que se sienta muy tranquilo y agradable. El personal fue increíble, siempre amables y dispuestos a ayudar. La comida es deliciosa. Además, está muy bien ubicado, cerca de una avenida que lleva directo a la playa. ¡Sin duda volvería!

Truly a “little gem.” We wanted a quiet space off the town center to return to after long days exploring, and we got it. It’s still walking distance to food and convenience stores, or a short bike to the main strip. It’s not a bad drive to the beach, but if you want to do tulum beach, stay in the hotel district; if you want to explore the city and travel to nearby cities, stay at Little Gem!
Super friendly and accommodating staff; we were treated better here than any hotel I’ve stayed— even...

Wow!!! If you are looking to relax in nature this is the place. The hosts and staff were amazing making sure our every need was met including getting a Drs appointment for my son. They would also prepare us meals on request. At night you can enjoy the fire by the cenote with the glowing lights inside the caves. During the day the birds are very entertaining we even spotted a toucan. Honestly we can’t say enough about this heaven on earth. We will definitely be returning next year.

My husband and I stayed here on our honeymoon. I thought we were going to feel regretful for not staying at a beach resort, but I'm so glad we stayed here instead. We woke up every morning and hopped on the rental bikes and rode into town (and if you're ambitious like us- the ruins, the beaches, and the cenotes- all were a bit of a hike but worth it). Once back at Tiki Tiki, we'd immediately drop our stuff, jump in the pool, and grab a carefully crafted cocktail from the bar. The whole staff...

reception was there during check-in, very nice and helpful. everything was fast and convenience. the place itself is very safe and quite. if driving, there's a gate check-in - need to let them know it's an hotel stay for them to let pass. would stay here again next time in tulum. Parking available onsite which is nice

Was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. Quiet, serene, definitely a vibe worth experiencing. The staff is overly friendly and helpful. If I only had to have one complaint is that while not healthy, the TV doesn't really work because of the poor Wi-Fi. Mostly just for feedback purposes but most people don't want a TV on this type of vacation.

Including temezcal, sound healing, yoga etc. Staff is super friendly and always willing to help. There is laundry service available and they will always be happy to call you a cab. There is a WhatsApp number you can always reach them at and ask any questions you might have. Maria the massage therapist is amazing. Will definitely be back. Thank you

The property is great. The room was beautiful. Bed was a bit soft for my liking so I didn’t get a good sleep. But everything else was perfect.
I do have mixed feelings about the fact that it is located inside the Tulum National Park, which is a government protected area. For one, it is kind of confusing to get there because google maps still shows the entrance on the north side (near the Mayan Ruins) but access is actually on the south side (where Parque del Jaguar is located).

This hotel has wonderful access to the beach and beach club. Sunrise is perfect and breakfast at the restaurant is included. The hotel staff, specifically Diana and Abril, were so helpful and arranged a snorkeling excursion for us. We liked that the beach club closes early (6pm) so that the area is quiet at night and not a loud party spot. Truly a paradise!

I've never been to the Yucatan let alone Tulum...and I'd never booked my own vacation out of the country before.
