Great little resort with. 9 rooms and its gorgeous own private beach sandwiched between two rock outcrops. We stayed in the cheapest room above the main building with no balcony but it was a large 4 person room with good shower. Noise was no problem but it does get hot in the room but we opened the Windows to let... More

I have traveled to over 30 countries and in all 50 of the USA states and I would have to say this is among the best managed hotels in my experience. I found the staff perfectly laid back and capable without being solicitous. This, combined with the fantastic location and solid on-site restaurant made for an incredible week vacation. Keep... More

So, the two major caveats to this review: 1) do not stay in the building that faces the main road if you are sensitive to noise (there is alot of road noise) or want a getaway experience where you can only hear the ocean waves and 2) relatedly, do not stay on evenings when there is live music in the...

My partner and I fell in love with this little hotel! We stayed four nights in the #4 room. The view was breathtaking, as it is the room closest to the water. It was so romantic to lay in bed and look out the balcony to the ocean. Pure perfection. The room was maintained so well--cleaned to perfection each day... More

The lovely Piedra Escondida hotel offered the perfect combination of beautiful location and excellent service to ensure a relaxing and truly satisfying Riviera Maya vacation experience. A great place to unwind from busy schedules and move to the leisurely pace of the Caribbean. The hotel is located on the northern Tulum beachfront. It has a quieter private beach with deck... More

We spent 4 nights at the Piedra escondida. We had a lovely view of the ocean from our room and the room was big, clean and with a safe. The girl at the reception spoke good english was extremly helpful and gave us great tips. The only two downsides are the quite poor breakfast and the poor WiFi conection.

Stayed at Piedra Escondida (PE) in early April 2013. Was chosen based on recommendations in both Lonely Planet and on Tripadvisor. And it didnt disappoint at all. Let me just start by saying that this more of your eco/beach shack style accommodation. In no way is it a large resort style establishment. However, the food and hospitality would rival all... More

Very nice little hotel with only 8 double rooms. Situated directly at a beautiful beach at the outskirts of Tulum you find all you need for a relaxed stay. The beach is covered with fine, white sand and nicely decorated with hammocks and beach chairs. It is circumfenced by some rocks with nice view. On one of these you can... More
