We were looking for a small town feel. Our goal was to get away from the glitz and glamour of Cancun (Las Vegas x 10), and to stay in a local town that didn't have a fully developed tourist feel. We found that in Tulum and especially loved Cabanas Tulum because its secluded and everyone staying here was super friendly.... more

The owner Carlos and his nephew helped us when we had problems with our original hotel and then with our car rental company. They were understanding and trusting, I'm so happy that we were here when we had these problems. Me and my 15 year old son spent 4 days here 7/08 we were content. The wind kept us cool... more

We decided to stay here because we wanted to be on the beach but were traveling on a budget with young children so also wanted to avoid thatched cabanas or expensive hotels. The beach location is Cabanas Tulum’s main selling point. It’s just beautiful. The rooms were spacious and adequate, nothing special but fine. You get what you pay for... more

I spent two nights at the Cabanas Tulum in an oceanfront “bungalow” that suited my needs very nicely. The accommodations are, as others have noted, quite basic, but it was clean and the bed was comfortable and there was plenty of hot water during the hours when electricity was on. The curtains might show some signs of wear and tear,... more

We also booked through Juan Ojeda - very simple and quick response. Cabanas Tulum is great value for the location - it's on a stunning stretch of beach and the front rooms are directly on the beach. We had two queen sized beds in our room and plenty of space, with our own porch with two sets of hammock hooks... more

If you're looking for luxury cabañas in Tulum, this is not the place for you! But if you just want a place to crash at night with the beach right outside the door, then Cabañas Tulum is perfect. The rooms are basic but very clean with nice painted flowers on the walls. It looks like they're doing them up as... more

When I booked I was visualizing a long stretch of deserted beach with about 5 little hotels. It is a 4 mile stretch of 30+ little hotels but still amazing and worth a visit. Booked through Yukatantravel.com which was very responsive. The staff were friendly and nice to my kids. We could always get a cold beer or access to... more

I booked online through yucatantravel (Juan Ojeda), who is a booking agent. When we arrived at the cabanas, our room was ready. The view is amazing right away - coconut trees swaying in the wind, white sand, quiet beach, beautiful clear water. The cabana (we had a beachfront one, 2 beds) was basic, but spacious. Relatively clean, private shower, high... more

Great Value. There are $250-300 rooms next door. With Cabanas Tulum you get the basics for a good price. But the beach is flat five stars! Rated by MSNBC in a recent article as one of the top 10 beaches in the world. The indication of what others think is the number of international travelers we ran into that were... more
