Fodor's Expert Review Be Tulum

Carretera Tulum-Boca Paila, Km 10.5, Tulum, Quintana Roo, 77780, Mexico

Designed by owner-architect Sebastian Sas, this chic beachfront hotel is like stepping onto a beautifully executed canvas—each room is a pure work of art, with exteriors made from the wood of reclaimed train tracks, Brazilian wood floors, cowhide rugs, wicker couches, and peaceful outdoor terraces and balconies on nearly every room. Rooms 16 and 20 have rooftop pools, shady lounge areas, and sweeping views of the ocean and Sian Ka'an Reserve. Meandering through the property is a plank pathway that leads to two pools and a two-story beachfront restaurant with nightly live music. Void of TVs, this peaceful hideaway is all about relaxation. Private yoga lessons and massages at the (expensive) spa can be arranged upon request.

  • free use of bikes and Wi-Fi
  • every room has its own unique (though cohesive) design
