Top hotels in Tulum City Center
Prana Boutique Hotel
Great room. Great ambience. Great breakfast and staff. The only negative was that the air conditioning takes for ever to cool down the room. And during the day it never reaches the set point.

Hotel Bardo
One of the nicest hotels I’ve ever stayed in and I’ve traveled a lot. I highly recommend. The staff was great and the ambiance and decor is top notch too.

Holiday Inn Tulum by IHG
We stayed at the Holiday Inn Tulum for 2 nights as a group of 9, travelling as a family, and honestly it was a bit of a mixed bag. We had booked 3 rooms and specifically asked to be close together. Instead we were spread across 3 completely different levels, which made things really inconvenient ...
