Jorge, Armando and the entire team were so hospitable and supportive. The hotel was incredible.
Pros:

The team at Libélula was very supportive, helpful, and friendly. They felt more like hosts than hotel staff. The hotel property was incredible, with great design, craftsmanship, and amazing views of the sea.

Cons:

Nothing

Decepção total
Pros:

A praia é a viber das pessoas da praia e os meninos que servem na praia

Cons:

A comida é muito cara , o chuveiro não é aquelas coisas a água não esquenta , e na hora de pagar, a conta não é transparente , não voltaria de novo, não vale o que é cobrado e como , até camareira cobra , não quis ouvir os comentários e acabei caindo , vou ouvir mais os comentários no booking antes de escolher a acomodação

Favorite Place to Stay in Tulum
Pros:

Libelula was absolutely everything I had hoped for. The remote location is the absolute best. When you want to go out and connect with Tulum you can do so any time, but when inside Libelula you are in a cocoon of total relaxation.The beach front is lovely. We lay on the comfortable beds and enjoyed the ocean. The staff weren’t just great, they were cool people that you will miss when you leave. The cocktails Armando made were hands down the best in Tulum - he is an artisinal mixologist. George who runs the day to day operations was fantastic as well and created a welcoming and lovely experience right from the beginning. The dinners and breakfasts we had were excellent. Now onto the room. We had a room on the second floor overlooking to ocean and it was absolutely perfect. The bedding, the shower pressure and warmth - perfect. The constant breeze and the sound of the ocean all night were just magical. We split our stay with another hotel on the north side to have that experience, and the minute we arrived I missed Libelula and wanted to come back. While we love hanging out where we are ( enjoying the closeness to La veleta) the two hotels both on the beach don’t compare by a long shot. There is just something about the energy of Libelula that feels like home. .

Overpriced austerity
Pros:

Food was exceptional, very good!
Friendly, helpful staff.

Cons:

No aircon
No cold drinking water
Loud music so can’t enjoy the sound of the sea
Fundamentally this is not a hotel this is more eco-jungle lodge. This is not a comfortable place to relax and unwind. It’s a very specific kind of dynamic but I left even more in need of a holiday than when I arrived.

Get away from it all
Pros:

This is a lovely spot, removed from all the big resorts in Tulum. The buildings blend nicely into the landscape. The rooms are small but very comfortable and attractive. The beach is beauitful, service is excellent and food is delicious. Be sure to enjoy dinner there!

Laid back beach retreat
Pros:

Great little beach front hotel within the bioreserve! The room was spacious and very nice with a view of the ocean and a private deck. Bed and pillows were very comfortable, and all the staff was super nice and always helpful. The place is very laid back and away from the nightlife in Tulum, which we really enjoyed. That said, there is a small bar at the beach (open during the day) and one in the courtyard (open in the evening) as well as and a friendly mix of guests and some local folks during the days and evenings, with everything closing down by 10 pm. The restaurant was very good and they were able to accomodate vegetarians (and vegans) without a problem.

Cons:

No complaints, but worth noting that like many small hotels away from the main tourist area, the electricity and water pump run on a generator, so on a couple of occassions there were glitches without water, but these were quickly resolved.

It was like being home in paradise.
Pros:

We stayed in Tulum for several days and couldn't have been happier. It didn't feel like a hotel at all — it felt like coming home to family. We had such wonderful days there. The food was excellent and the staff were simply amazing. We felt completely comfortable and well taken care of; every wish was anticipated before we even had to ask.
The accommodation is small, quiet, and incredibly cozy. You can truly feel how much love and care has been put into every detail.
It was an experience in itself. We also really appreciated the strong focus on sustainability and caring for the environment, which was very important to us.
In the evenings, everyone would gather together in a warm, relaxed atmosphere. We met amazing people and had great conversations.
We will definitely be coming back. Thank you for such a beautiful time!
