Client comments and reviews

“Tulum was the perfect place to end our holiday for a couple of days of indulgence and relaxation. be Tulum is a real gem.” - BW, February 2011

“Be Tulum was the best of the lot really, the rooms were of a really high standard, decked out with hardwood floors and a shower wet room in stone. The restaurant there was really good, quite a small menu but everything on it was lovely. Quite quiet being a long way along the beach so you had to get a taxi to a couple of the local restaurants but reception would sort one out for you no problem. Really good beach, idyllic really, white sand and crystal water.” - DG, November 2010

“This hotel was awesome! It was very special. The food and drink was very pricey but for one week it was ok. We saw turtles laying their eggs on the beach which was pretty special and the staff really do make a massive effort.” - ROH & MG, July 2010
