Travel 7 years ago My Guide to Tulum

I know that I was super late to the party, but I finally made it to Tulum last week and I’ll tell you something: the party is still going strong!
Between the very walkable/bike-able streets, absolutely amazing restaurants and adorable hotels lined up on the beach, I was in complete awe. I cannot believe it took me this long to get here! I know a lot of you might be planning a trip to Tulum soon, so I thought I’d share where I went along with a few recommendations. Please feel free to leave your suggestions for other readers in the comments below.
My Top Tulum Recommendations
- Encantada: I researched a TON of hotels in this area and when we saw that TripAdvisor named this hotel #1, it made the number one slot on our list as well. I was a bit hesitant about the thought of staying in an open air hut. While the rooms do have A/C {in the evening hours only}, you kind of have to sleep with the windows open to catch a breeze. I honestly was head over heels in love with this hotel the minute we stepped foot into it. The rooms are picture perfect and the staff is incredibly friendly. There’s no fuss, no over the top guests and only 8 rooms to share the beach with. I was in heaven. On our first night we wandered across the street to the hotel restaurant, Nu, and shared some of the best pork tacos I’ve ever consumed.
- Arca: I am still standing by my statement that this was one of best dinners I’ve ever had in my life. Overall this place is one of my favorite restaurants in the world. I was completely shocked at how much I loved eating here. Hands down, you need to go! You’ll need a reservation.
- Hartwood: Very good, but more of a scene. I mean, after eating at Arca my expectations were super high up there. We didn’t have a reservation but go to tip to go right at 5:15pm, stand in line for a few moments, to get into that first crowd of seating.
- Posada Margarita: This restaurant was highly recommended by my dear friend and it exceeded my expectations. It’s a very romantic spot but also good for groups and has amazing views! Grant ordered the bolognese and I got the spaghetti. His was better.
- Casa Malca: We rode our bikes down to this hotel that was once Pablo Escobars home and had an amazing lunch! We really didn’t have a bad meal in Tulum. Make sure to get the pizza!
- Nomade: This place is super hip and you’ll need a reservation. The food is light and tasty. You’ll be sitting right on the beach and the crowd is very “hip.” In all honestly, compared to all of the other meals we had, this was falls last on my list but you should definitely swing by this ultra cool hotel for at least a drink or two.
