Family vacation

We absolutely loved our stay at La Zebra. We were a family of 4 (child ages 16 and 11). We stayed in the ground floor beachfront suite which was LITERALLY right on the beach. It was beautiful, very high quality, excellent service, and really peaceful. It was quiet at night. The location was fantastic - walking distance from all the best restaurants but far enough away from the beach clubs to avoid the noise. There was a small pool upstairs by the bar. We wished there was a public use hot tub since we didn't have one in our suite. The staff were very helpful and helped with transportation and excursions. We felt very safe the entire time.

Very well run resort. The staff are amazing. The rooms are nicely sized. The resort is centrally located in town. The restaurant is very good. They keep everything very neat and orderly and clean, including the rooms. Although the hotel lacks a gym and a really nice big pool the beach is incredible and the lower price makes it all very worthwhile.

The property was a beautiful property located strategically close enough to beach clubs with loud music and far enough to have a relaxing time if required. Still walking distance from all the nice clubs and restaurants. Do yourself a favor and make sure you take a room with all view of The ocean. Sunrise is just stunning in Tulum.

Lovely property on the beach

We spent just two nights at La Zebra to bridge our extended stay in the area and it was lovely! Juan Carlos, at the front desk, took great care of us from minute one. He was attentive and kind, and a great rep for this property. We also interacted a bit with Esteban at the front who was great as well. Jose and his crew made quick work of our (very heavy) suitcases, and got us situated in the parking lot. And lastly, Roger took care of us at the beach! The property is very charming, perfectly located on the quieter side of Tulum Beach, and a wonderful intimate setting to kick off our month-long trip.

Stayed before. Not again.

Excellent restaurant and hotel service for this aging place. Bedspread was ratty. Sinks cracked. Five new layers of paint can't cover things up. Worst part is that they've turned their beach and beach bar into a "beach club" with people bringing their own boom boxes, parties, etc. That's great up the strand at the nonhotel beach clubs but not at a hotel with expensive rooms. Don’t get me wrong-we like clubs like Ziggy's but not at our hotel.

My husband and I enjoyed our time spent at this hotel in Tulum. The beach club was a highlight with comfortable lounging beds, attentive staff, and delicious drinks. The property is well-maintained and the restaurant, common areas, and hotel room are beautifully decorated with wood furniture and colorful linens. We were greatly appreciative that all the employees of this hotel were hospitable and kind.

Absolutely wonderful staff, old, decrepit hotel

Incredible staff, absolutely lovely people. Very tired rooms and property, water and fridge leaking in the room se we woke up to a wet floor. During our stay, Atlantic Typhoon Nadine moved in so we asked if we could get a voucher for the two days left in our stay and leave the area since it was unclear if it would turn into a hurricane. The admin department was completely uninterested in our request and were told there was no chance of any courtesy concession due to the storm. It became a matter of public safety se we checked out early and left for Cancun to avoid any risk of being stranded in the low lying areas . Again, I stress wonderful staff but bad property conditions and even worse management staff.

The staff was outstanding. Went above and beyond. Check out was at noon which is a nice change. We loved the patio and little pool THAT CAN BE HEATED! That’s a big thing, most small hotel pools are almost too cold to use. Our room was very large, the shower and bathroom as well. The restaurant is one of our favorites. We eat there everytime we go to Tulum. The beach beds are shaded by mini palapas, all had tables and pillows. Comfortable! They are roped off so you aren’t inundated by beach sellers. I didn’t think I was going to care for the rope “fence” but found I didn’t mind it. They have free dedicated guarded parking. Very interesting art. Little wood playground for kids. Slept like a baby. This hotel is right on the beach and every room seems to have easy access.
