3-star hotels in Tulum
A shortlist of 15 three-star hotels in Tulum, from town-centre addresses to the Boca Paila beach road. It is for travellers who want simple comfort, gardens and easy access to the ruins and the sea without moving up a class.
Staying in Tulum
Tulum pairs Maya ruins on the clifftop with a long Caribbean shoreline, and visitors usually divide their days between the archaeological zone, the beach and the town's restaurants and bars. The place is low-rise and spread out, and the two areas that shape a stay here are the town itself and the Boca Paila road running south along the coast.
The hotels on this list cluster in both. Maison Tulum, Boutique Hotel Posada 06 Tulum, Kin Ha Tulum Hotel, Xscape Tulum and Villas Akalan sit in the town, on streets such as Calle Alfa Norte, Calle Andrómeda Oriente, Calle Orion and Calle Kukulcan Sur. A second group is strung along Carretera Tulum Boca Paila, from Km 3.5 to Km 10, and these come with private beach or beach access, pools and massage. Two more lie near the ruins road, and OYO Hotel Palma Real stands furthest out on the Coba highway. Couples and families are well served by the family rooms and gardens; a short break is easy given the 24-hour desks and parking at many.
