ποΈ Things to consider before bookingΒ your hotel
Before spending considerable money on a trip to Tulum, consider the following.
Peak season, high season, and the low season
Prices will invariably be highest from November through the end of January. This is when Tulum is in its peak tourist season, and property owners charge in line with demand.
Consider booking outside of peak and even high season if youβd like a better deal.
Nearest conveniences
Finding out you have booked a hotel at the far end of Tulum Beach once you have arrived isnβt exactly ideal.
Sure, you can still get around, but you would rather have a car or be close enough to other conveniences to limit your time on the roads.
ποΈ How do we decide the best?
Knowing the Riviera Maya well is key to making sound recommendations. Here are all the qualities we look for when choosing the best for this list.
Price
The best, in some cases, is not always the most expensive! We look for value for money, and a beautiful hotel stay doesnβt need to cost a fortune.
This list includes a wide variety of booking prices; even the expensive ones are reasonable. Rest assured, all of these options are great choices.
Location
Having relaxed surroundings factors into these recommendations. Many of the properties are fairly secluded for those seeking to dance into the dawn.
Additionally, there should be a good selection of extra activities on offer on the property or nearby. Think wellness for rest & relaxation, beach clubs, quality restaurants, and top-shelf parties.
Amenities
Do the properties go above and beyond to cater to all guests? We look at whether there are things like barriers around roof terraces and wheelchair access.
Are the pathways around the gardens well-kept and clear? In addition, there should be air conditioning and, of course, a fantastic swimming pool.
