At Kai Tulum, travellers praise the serene beachfront bungalows, friendly staff, and scenic location near the ruins, while recurring downsides include national park entry checks and fees, pricier on site offerings, mixed dining speed/selection, and occasional maintenance or cleanliness lapses.
Guests like the stylish, comfy bungalows—many with decks and indoor/outdoor showers—though some report weak Wi-Fi and no in-room phone or TV. The park setting feels peaceful, but transport can be costly and tourist boats or seaweed sometimes impact the beach. Overall, expect a quiet, nature-focused stay in a scenic, controlled-access setting rather than a nightlife hub or extensive amenities.

The staff was amazing. They reached out before our arrival to setup transportation and see if we need anything :) great recommendations while we were there. The location was great. So close to beach, nice room, always finding beach chairs, can go on walks on the beach which is public in Tulum. You can walk to the Tulum ruins. You can rent bikes from the hotel to go on a bike ride. I just wished I could make coffee in the room since I like it hot and earlier than 8am when they bring it to your deck. We had a fabulous time. Small hotel, no extra fees like some big resorts, great service, walkable to other restaurants on the beach. They also cleaned the washed up plants coming from the sea every morning, to my surprise some hotels didn't! but they did it every morning though the beach is public :)

Two things stand out: 1, Romana, the yoga instructor and sound healer, is amazing. I took Yin/Tibetan sound bowls, slow flow, and abs/glutes and each session was amazing. She gives you all of herself, and her physical and spiritual approach is amazing. You do not come across people with her special energetic qualities often. On top of this, the yoga and massage hut is intimate, beautiful and magic. The other thing I loved was the rooms - comfy beds, great little decks, indoor and outdoor showers. I loved the feeling of the rooms. The food is very good too though the music can be a bit counter to the peaceful vibe. - it is nice that this resort and Ikal are right next to each other, to compliment each other.

Beautiful rooms, beautiful property with kind staff, especially Dennis. Gorgeous, but the hotel’s amenities i found were significantly pricier than surrounding hotels, for example a bike rentak here would by $850 mxd conpared to next door where it was $350, their restaurant was gorgeous and loved the food quality, but again significantly higher prices than neighboring spots. I loved my stay here, and loved the convenience- please beware before booking there’s a $450 mxd one time fee to enter the national park and then a daily $120 something fee, which is pretty annoying but part of thr deal for this whole area.

I stayed at Kai Tulum for a brief 4 day stay and overall the stay was good. The hotel is terrible with communication, i had a few questions i had before we travelled to Mexico and their whatsapp account were never replied to my questions, their hotel phone never answered any of my calls, i finally received an email on the morning of my flight which was not very convenient. The road leading to the hotel was closed due to construction and a back winding dirt road had to be used, It was inconvenient. The check-in was simple, the hotel provided free parking for guests. The ocean view was partially blocked by the restaurant but regardless it was a phenomenal view every morning. It actually did an accurate job of representing the room and the beach distance from the room. It was ocean view and a wonderful beach style cabin/room. The bed faced the view and the shower was very nice. The grounds are nice and very tropical feel wherever you are on the hotel grounds. The pool area is small but the hotel only has about 16 rooms. The beach has plenty of seating with a great view. The restaurant was over-priced in my opinion and better meals were had at different locations. The restaurant does have a clean modern look but there was no attempts to have live music or any type of bar area to make it inviting. The beach sand everywhere got a little old because it was very dusty and got everywhere but that isn't the hotels fault. The hotel needed to do a better clean up the sargasso seaweed

The cabins are clean and spacious, and nicely appointed. The chilled out vibe of the cabins contrasts a little with the beach club atmosphere of the restaurant and bar. Food good but not outstanding. Our cabin was at the rear of the property and basically had unusable wi-fi. Beach loungers had good availability and well spaced out, with different options for seeking shade Staff available via whatsapp rather than front desk; worked very well

Bien dans l’ensemble! Très belle plage privée.. mais beaucoup de vagues à notre passage (3 jours en janvier 2025). Concernant l’hôtel, il se trouve dans une zone protégée donc il y a un barrage avec des frais à payer au gouvernement 1 seule fois. Les chambres sont bien, bon design détente de bord de mer, mais pas assez propre selon moi. Certains endroits étaient poussiéreux et mal entretenus.. Toutefois très pratique notre chambre disposait d’ une douche extérieure et une intérieure pour ne rien salir en revenant de la plage (attention pas identique pour l’ensemble des chambres) Pour info: pas de lit bébé, et lit assez haut donc vous devez innover en solution ou prévoir un lit parapluie si bébé tourne la nuit. Sinon mettre un matelas par terre est aussi une option. Attention aux insectes. La piscine est trop petite par contre. Les masseuses sont top et très souriantes merci à elles encore! Le restaurant très bien. Bémol: la vue sur mer des cabanons n’est pas totale, car il y a le cabanon des masseuses et le restaurant devant qui bloquent la vue. Dans l’ensemble bon séjour, le personnel est très sympas, le sable et la plage privée un régal. Toutefois, ce n’est pas un hôtel extraordinaire ou coup de cœur pour nous avec deux bébés (pas de sièges bébé au resto, pas de lit bébé, piscine non adaptée aux enfants…). Nous garderons de bons souvenirs de cet endroit. Merci

I Loved the cottages! They were very comfortable! We had everything we needed, and the extra items for the beach were appreciated (after-Sun lotion and bug spray)! We rented an electric bike to take to a Cenote, and back to Tulum for shopping and lunch … that was so much fun! The only thing was the beach restaurant was very expensive … BUT … the food was great! It truly was a good stay.

Kai is stunning! This is a this is a great hotel, if you would like a peaceful place to rest and reflect, swim and enjoy the Playa Paraiso. This is not the right hotel if you want to go to different bars and restaurants every night. You can take a cab into town, but it is not that close and not worth it in my opinion. We enjoyed our stay at Kai so much, especially the beautiful room. Their bungalows are as beautiful as the pictures show. The restaurant is slightly overpriced as far as food, but their two for one margaritas can’t be beat. The massage therapist at Kai is excellent, and will give you a great price if you can pay in pesos. Having pesos would have been the only improvement on my stay as I found it a little tricky at times to use a card. Kai is next-door to IKAL Hotel and IKAL’s restaurant is so good and very affordable. Our room was quiet and safe, and we felt so well cared for. They have filtered water in every room so you don’t have to worry about finding bottled water, which can be a big stress at times in Mexico. I would come back here in instant! What a beautiful place.

I love how this location is very private. It has its private entrance to the jaguar park area. You also have access to golf carts that take you around the area where you can visit the light house, the Mayan ruins and other beaches like Santa Fe. We had the ocean front villa #1. Right in front the beach and near their restaurant Bokoba. Staff was extremely friendly. The waiter Jose went above and beyond for us. He brought us breakfast to our patio a few times. Was very attentive to our needs whether we were in our room. The pool or the beach.

El hotel está muy bonito y limpio. Muy cerca de las Ruinas de tulum. Los precios de la comida y bebidas está un poco elevados comparados con otros destinos turísticos pero igual que todo Tulúm. El único pero en mi opinión es la playa. Tenía algo de sargazo y unas lanchas estacionadas en la playa que dañaban la hermosa vista al mar que tiene el hotel. Se los recomiendo. Volvería a hospedarme ahí. Lo que más disfrutamos fue andar en bicicleta en toda la zona arqueológica. Nota: El hotel está en retirado de la zona hotelera donde están los restaurantes y beach clubs famosos. Esperen gastar $600 pesos de ida a los restaurantes y $700/$800 para regresar a tu hotel.

Very nice, clean boutique hotel. It felt very quiet—almost like we were the only guests staying there, which made for a peaceful, if somewhat slow, atmosphere. The staff was friendly and easily accessible throughout our stay. A couple of small surprises: they didn’t have a regular cappuccino or Corona beer available. That said, the food was excellent—definitely a step above the neighboring hotels. Overall, a pleasant stay with great service and quality dining. Would recommend it for my family and friends.

My stay here was perfection!! We had basically our own bungalow on the beach with our own patio area. The staff left coffee at our door daily and were very accommodating. Security was tight upon entering so we felt very safe. Can’t beat the price for a 10 second walk to the ocean. We’d definitely come back!

The resort is quiet, clean and a great place to relax. We really loved the hotel but it fell short in service and amenities. PROS: -Very clean -Quiet and relaxing atmosphere -Tasty food and drinks -Decorated room for wifes birthday CONS: -At check in the front desk walked us to our suite, when we got there, someones empty drink cups were left on our patio set, to my surprise staff member just left them there, nobody collected them until the next day. -Very poor wifi. -First 24 hours our hot water did not work -Front desk is supposed to be open until 11pm but good luck finding someone to help you after 9pm. -Restaurant closes at 10:00pm but stops serving at 9:30pm even though the hotel claims they serve until 10:00pm. -No phone or tv in the room -Since there is no phone to call the front desk, they ask you to use whatsapp to communicate with the hotel, sometimes we did not receive a response for as long as 10 hours. -Restaurant service slow -Hotel offers complimentary coffee delivered to room in morning at requested time. Consistently delivered at wrong time by over 40 mins. -One night we were heading out to dinner and discovered their maintenance person who was varnishing the fence in the parking lot had dripped varnish all over our rental vehicle. When I brought it to his attention, no apology was offered, he just handed me wet rag to clean it. I am lucky I got there while it was wet. -Our patio daybed is covered in palm tree debris every morning, nobody cleans it.

Two things stand out: 1, Romana, the yoga instructor and sound healer, is amazing. I took Yin/Tibetan sound bowls, slow flow, and abs/glutes and each session was amazing. She gives you all of herself, and her physical and spiritual approach is amazing. You do not come across people with her special energetic qualities often. On top of this, the yoga and massage hut is intimate, beautiful and magic. The other thing I loved was the rooms - comfy beds, great little decks, indoor and outdoor showers. I loved the feeling of the rooms. The food is very good too though the music can be a bit counter to the peaceful vibe. - it is nice that this resort and Ikal are right next to each other, to compliment each other.

Stayed at the Kai Tulum for 4 nights/3 days. The hotel property is really gorgeous: the bungalows are all set behind the hotel restaurant and beachfront. The rooms/bungalows are really lovely:very calming colors (some may find dull or boring) though perhaps some may find the spacing between bungalows a bit close. The bungalow I had was very comfortable: spacious deck with outdoor shower, very comfortable bed, nice very clean bathroom and shower area. The whole area was very relaxing and chill: we managed to visit hotels in the main hotel zone towards the south and the vibe at the Kai was so much more chill and relaxed. The hotel staff was very helpful and kind, though there were some minor service hiccups that were unfortunate (issues with the included breakfast, timing of the morning coffee/tea sevice) but nothing major. Overall a lovely stay, I would definitely stay again!

The cabins are clean and spacious, and nicely appointed. The chilled out vibe of the cabins contrasts a little with the beach club atmosphere of the restaurant and bar. Food good but not outstanding. Our cabin was at the rear of the property and basically had unusable wi-fi. Beach loungers had good availability and well spaced out, with different options for seeking shade Staff available via whatsapp rather than front desk; worked very well

I had a solo beach birthday trip at Kai and it was such a wonderful experience. The beach bungalow is beautiful and I booked the beach front option which was amazing. The service was great and I really enjoyed my meals at the nearby beach restaurant. Highly recommended!

The communication regarding the entrance to the property was bad. I was not informed until I messaged the hotel. Every time we needed to enter the hotel, there was security which bothered us to buy tickets. The hotel couldn't arrange anything for us when we complained. Other than that, the stay was nice and peaceful. The restaurant at the hotel had very few options. The hotel is located far away from all local restaurants, so it was inconvenient given how the exit and entrance was. There was also some construction work happening which was noisy

My stay here was perfection!! We had basically our own bungalow on the beach with our own patio area. The staff left coffee at our door daily and were very accommodating. Security was tight upon entering so we felt very safe. Can’t beat the price for a 10 second walk to the ocean. We’d definitely come back!

My wife and I had a wonderful time at Kai Tulum! I'd like to give a big shout out to Andy at the restaurant for being so friendly, attentive, and just all around helpful. Besides excellent service in the restaurant, Andy gave us good advice for local activities. As for the rest of the stay, our room was so comfortable and so close to the shore! The hotel was beautiful whether seen from the shore, the garden, or the cabin. I loved the beach club and would return in a heartbeat! I couldn't believe it when I went swimming and looked up the shore to see the ruins. What an amazing view! The restaurant was excellent and always delicious. Abram and Jeff were also great at the restaurant.

I would not recommend this hotel. We had 3 nights here and paid a good amount for it. The room was very nice and clean but that was just about it. - On our first night we ordered room service and the waiter was "begging" for tips (although it said in the information folder that the amount of tips (and even giving tips) were optional). He said that if we did not give him tips his Manager would ask him to pay-out that minimum amount from his own pocket. Not sure whether this is true - but it was just an uncomfortable position to be in. Especially taking into account that we were paying almost 300 USD per night. - When we checked out the hotel receptionist said everything was fine and we asked if he could order a taxi. When the taxi arrived we asked for the price (we were going 8 min. down the road) and the driver stated an extremely high price. We asked the hotel to find another taxi but you could clearly sense that he was supporting the driver - and said this was the price (although we had been taking taxis for far less the previous days). - When we then insisted to wait for another taxi, the hotel receptionist started claiming that we had used from the minibar (although we already checked out where he said everything was fine). Since we had not touched the minibar, I told him this and after a longer discussion he gave up. - The restaurant was not nice and in general the staff seemed a bit like they did not bother to help.

Scenic, quiet setting on a beautiful beach inside Tulum National Park and walkable to the ruins. Expect controlled access with checkpoints and fees, pricier transport, occasional road closures, and tourist boats that can affect swimming or views.

Staying within the national park was neat, but you could not bring even a water bottle to the resort. Federal police check your car and trunk every time you travel from town to the resort. The property is beautiful and well kept but the tourist boats are everywhere on the beach in front of the hotel.

El hotel está muy bonito y limpio. Muy cerca de las Ruinas de tulum. Los precios de la comida y bebidas está un poco elevados comparados con otros destinos turísticos pero igual que todo Tulúm. El único pero en mi opinión es la playa. Tenía algo de sargazo y unas lanchas estacionadas en la playa que dañaban la hermosa vista al mar que tiene el hotel. Se los recomiendo. Volvería a hospedarme ahí. Lo que más disfrutamos fue andar en bicicleta en toda la zona arqueológica. Nota: El hotel está en retirado de la zona hotelera donde están los restaurantes y beach clubs famosos. Esperen gastar $600 pesos de ida a los restaurantes y $700/$800 para regresar a tu hotel.

I stayed at Kai Tulum for a brief 4 day stay and overall the stay was good. The hotel is terrible with communication, i had a few questions i had before we travelled to Mexico and their whatsapp account were never replied to my questions, their hotel phone never answered any of my calls, i finally received an email on the morning of my flight which was not very convenient. The road leading to the hotel was closed due to construction and a back winding dirt road had to be used, It was inconvenient. The check-in was simple, the hotel provided free parking for guests. The ocean view was partially blocked by the restaurant but regardless it was a phenomenal view every morning. It actually did an accurate job of representing the room and the beach distance from the room. It was ocean view and a wonderful beach style cabin/room. The bed faced the view and the shower was very nice. The grounds are nice and very tropical feel wherever you are on the hotel grounds. The pool area is small but the hotel only has about 16 rooms. The beach has plenty of seating with a great view. The restaurant was over-priced in my opinion and better meals were had at different locations. The restaurant does have a clean modern look but there was no attempts to have live music or any type of bar area to make it inviting. The beach sand everywhere got a little old because it was very dusty and got everywhere but that isn't the hotels fault. The hotel needed to do a better clean up the sargasso seaweed

We love Kai Tulum. The staff is always amazing and super friendly. The suites are so perfect- it’s like your own little oceanside cottage. Location inside the National Park is ideal for safety. Only negative this trip was the amount of seaweed but that is outside the control of any hotel. We can’t wait to return in the future.

Very nice, clean boutique hotel. It felt very quiet—almost like we were the only guests staying there, which made for a peaceful, if somewhat slow, atmosphere. The staff was friendly and easily accessible throughout our stay. A couple of small surprises: they didn’t have a regular cappuccino or Corona beer available. That said, the food was excellent—definitely a step above the neighboring hotels. Overall, a pleasant stay with great service and quality dining. Would recommend it for my family and friends.

Beautiful rooms, beautiful property with kind staff, especially Dennis. Gorgeous, but the hotel’s amenities i found were significantly pricier than surrounding hotels, for example a bike rentak here would by $850 mxd conpared to next door where it was $350, their restaurant was gorgeous and loved the food quality, but again significantly higher prices than neighboring spots. I loved my stay here, and loved the convenience- please beware before booking there’s a $450 mxd one time fee to enter the national park and then a daily $120 something fee, which is pretty annoying but part of thr deal for this whole area.

Beach loungers had good availability and well spaced out, with different options for seeking shade Staff available via whatsapp rather than front desk; worked very well

Kai Tulum was absolutely gorgeous. The staff was super friendly and helpful. My room was perfect for my daughter and I. I liked that we had bathrobes but would have been better if they were softer and more plush. We only had dinner there one night as there weren't that many options. The plate of pasta that we had was delicious but small. I highly recommend Kai Tulum!

I Loved the cottages! They were very comfortable! We had everything we needed, and the extra items for the beach were appreciated (after-Sun lotion and bug spray)! We rented an electric bike to take to a Cenote, and back to Tulum for shopping and lunch … that was so much fun! The only thing was the beach restaurant was very expensive … BUT … the food was great! It truly was a good stay.

Kai is stunning! This is a this is a great hotel, if you would like a peaceful place to rest and reflect, swim and enjoy the Playa Paraiso. This is not the right hotel if you want to go to different bars and restaurants every night. You can take a cab into town, but it is not that close and not worth it in my opinion. We enjoyed our stay at Kai so much, especially the beautiful room. Their bungalows are as beautiful as the pictures show. The restaurant is slightly overpriced as far as food, but their two for one margaritas can’t be beat. The massage therapist at Kai is excellent, and will give you a great price if you can pay in pesos. Having pesos would have been the only improvement on my stay as I found it a little tricky at times to use a card. Kai is next-door to IKAL Hotel and IKAL’s restaurant is so good and very affordable. Our room was quiet and safe, and we felt so well cared for. They have filtered water in every room so you don’t have to worry about finding bottled water, which can be a big stress at times in Mexico. I would come back here in instant! What a beautiful place.
