Los Lirios Hotel Cabanas is a mid-range boutique hotel directly on the beach in the heart of Tulum. Many of the 64 air-conditioned rooms here have balconies with direct or partial ocean views, and those that don't still look out on the pleasant grounds, with plenty of tropical greenery. Amenities include a tiny pool with room for just a few guests plus an on-site restaurant serving breakfast and dinner buffets (but no lunch). Unfortunately, there's no Wi-Fi. While this is a good choice for families and couples alike, couples willing to pay a little more for something more intimate should consider the Kore Resort, which has a larger pool along with two gourmet restaurants.

Dreams Tulum Resort & Spa is a four-pearl, all-inclusive property located on a quiet stretch of white sand, just a 15-minute drive north of Tulum. This 432-room resort feels estate-like, thanks to its colonial style and upscale landscaping. Rooms and suites have marble floors, furnished outdoor spaces, free daily refreshed minibars, and flat-screen TVs with satellite channels, but also visible wear and tear and tricky air-conditioning settings. This resort draws families with kids, couples, and groups of friends with its array of features, including two pools, a kids' club with active programming, and a jungle-set holistic spa. Five bars (one swim-up) ensure guests won't go thirsty, though food from the small buffet and six restaurants is largely average. For an all-inclusive in Tulum proper (though without a big beach), consider Kore Tulum Retreat and Spa Resort.

The upper-middle-range Nomade Tulum is a beachfront boutique with a spiritual focus in Tulum's hotel zone. This area of Tulum is widely known for its health and wellness side, and the Nomade takes it to the next level by offering a holistic wellness program.

Two restaurants serve local and seasonal menus with raw and vegan options, while two bars pour coffee and booze until late. Freebies include unreliable Wi-Fi, bikes, and valet parking.
