I came to calm cabins tulum in August 2012 and after I came back in April 2013 because in Dora's place I feel like at home. She makes you feel really comfortable and the garden is beautifull and a place to have some relaxing time. The hostal is not a luxury place but it has all you need to spend... More

The hostel feels like a community and a home.. I spent a couple of days there, spending a lot of time with other guests and the incredibly warm dueña Dora.. Calm Cabins is in an excellent location, from which you can easily reach the beach in Tulum, other beaches up or down the coast, cenotes, etc. Breakfast is provided, free... More

We stayed at Palapas Tulum for 7 nights. We were very pleased with the accommodations and the hosts were extremely helpful and friendly. The included breakfast was a nice additional feature, and the property was peaceful and well-maintained. We found the location to be convenient, and right around the corner is a bike rental (the best way to get around... More

My family and I stayed at Pierre's place, which was far from the center of this small town (a 15 minute walk). After reading all the reviews, I was so excited to meet Pierre and taste his wonderful breakfasts. What a disappointment. First, we were directed to the hostel part, which honestly looked like rooms surrounding a junk pile. That... More

As the title suggests Palapas Tulum is the place to stay if you want some time to decompress and recharge. I, like many others who have left a review, stayed longer than planned because, well, the place just felt very good on my being. In fact I found the garden so therapeutic I spent much of my time lazing in... More

We stayed as two couples with Dora and Pierre and it was the nicest place we stayed on our trip. This was because it felt really homely and Dora and Pierre were so welcoming and kind. The breakfasts were simple but really tasty and the garden is beautiful. I think this place is perfect for a couple who want something... More

I stayed for ten days in August of 2012. I had a room with a private bathroom at the location off the main avenue, in a residential neighbourhood. The room was quiet, the yard very pretty, and the location excellent! I loved the neighbourhood and that it was away from the main tourist drag. The neighbours were charming people as... More

For the value it was one of the best places I've ever stayed at. Dora and Pierre were very nice and gave us great advice about what to do in and around Tulum. They also have lots of cute cats that play around and provide good entertainment during breakfast.
