When I arrived at Zulum, I felt like I had stepped into a picture postcard. The thatched cabanas are nestled between lush green palms and are situated arround a (seated) swimming pool, a great spot for reading or chilling out in the afternoon sun.

The Cabanas sit upon a perfect stretch of Tulum Beach. The golden sands and crystal waters reach out in both directions as far as the eye can see. When your lounging about in the sun, you have the choice of stretching out on any of Zulum's large double beach beds, round ying-yang cushions or reclining sun loungers that are dotted along the beach, the choice is yours!

In the evening you can relax on the deck overlooking the beach, a perfect place for star gazing on a clear night, or alternatively you can rock yourself into a tequila stupor on the swinging seats by the bar! The seats however, are not the only things that swing from the ceiling.The beds in all the rooms hang from the rafters and with the sound of the waves lapping against the shore, rock you gently to sleep at night- lulling you into a dreamy slumber- paradise!

But by far the best thing about Zulum is the welcoming and firendly atmosphere that is created by the staff. Sergio the chef can whip you up a delicious dinner of your choice and there's no doubt, whatever you fancy, he will cook it to perfection,

The owner and management were also fantastic and did everything to make our stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. I'd recommend Zulum to anyone who can appreciate magic when they see it.... a little slice of heaven on earth!

Undoutbedly the most charming cabanas in Tulum : a very zen environment, beautifully decorated rooms, beautiful beach front, charming swimming pool, nice restaurant area. We chose the area mainly for the decorum.
We had a few disappointments which was probably due to the very recent opening of this hotel and sowehow inexperienced staff. First, we had to ask for a fan for the room at night (absolutely necessary for a good night sleep), which should be a basic requirement for a hotel of this standing. Second, the breakfast was quite disappointing and clearly not up to the room's price (biscots every morning instead of real bread). And third, the staff seemed still inexperienced in basic hospitality rules (saying hello, being more careful of you...). Still, things got better day after day but we did have to constantly ask for improvements in order to get them.
