Independent hotels in Tulum, Quintana Roo

"We stayed in the Lirio Room. Though the room is surrrounded by palm trees, the beach is less than a 5 minute walk. All paths are sand, and lit up at night. The beach was quiet, not busy, and we did not have trouble locating a tent and beds to use on the beach. There are many vendors but they are not pushy. This is located in the southern hotel zone of Tulum. The most inexpensive restaurants were about $15 American for 1 dish, most average about $25 American per dish. Many vegan options. There is shopping within 5 minutes walk. The shopping is mostly clothing and accessories stores, these stores are "higher end" boutiques with unique bohemian style clothing. Tattoo shops, and dance clubs are close by too. The hotel bathrooms ask that you do not flush toilet paper, or toilets clog. "

"We had an amazing experience, people were cordial and attentive. Edgar who served us at the seaside grill was extremely friendly and attentive to all the details that made us feel at home. He is someone who has class and cares about the people that visit the resort "

"Amazing experience "

"Very nice hotel but the street it is on is in very bad shape. From pot holes to sketchy looking people, it made us feel very uneasy walking around. Overall we had a great experience at the hotel but it did feel over priced. Not sure we would go back. "

"loved the property, rooms need a better lighting, maybe more candles. Animals are around the hotel. Staff was super friendly. would definitely come back"

"What a great experience. Naala is exactly what it advertises itself as - a 3.5 star hotel with some blemishes but an eagerness to succeed. When we go back to Tulum we will stay at Naala again! The hotel is tucked back off the road. The outdoor lobby is quite welcoming but does show some wear but the front desk service was professional. The courtyard was so relaxing - while you can hear the music from the rooftop, the hammocks and waterfalls make it a perfect place to chill before or after your day. We splurged on the "family apartment" as it was not that much more than a single room and gave us a huge amount of space. The patios and balconies are a little light on furniture, so glad for the courtyard. Room was clean, beds were wickedly comfortable and showers were strong. We felt safe. There are some good restaurants within 100 yards and downtown is only a 20-minute walk but the best meals we had on our trip were at the Naala rooftop restaurant. Highly recommend. Reasonably priced as well. Salmon was perfect. Breakfast farmers omelet (I got well done) was fantastic. Smoothie was nice - they use ice and agave nectar (order accordingly). Order a drink from the restaurant and bring it to the rooftop pool - plenty of seating. The best part of the roof is the unobstructed view (think sunrise and sunset). You can see the Tulum heritage site and the ocean from the roof. As the hotel does not supply extra water, we were very happy to find an Oxxo and a 7-eleven only steps away"

"The property is clean and quiet place to relax. "

"Fabulous stay. "
