Una Vida is a beautiful bohemian themed boutique hotel. Their staff was friendly and helpful with each encounter. The food and drinks at the hotel and the Hotel Bardo were tasty. We stayed in the 3 bedroom villa. It was amazing! My BFF enjoyed the privacy of our own pool. My personal favorite was the outdoor shower. I travel alot and have very high expectations. Una Vida exceeded them all.

Beautiful serene oasis with kind, friendly and helpful staff. Guadalupe and Shiomara were just great and assisted us with sites to see in the area, restaurants and currency exchange sites. We liked the Ananda restaurant as well and access to the sister Hotel Bardo and the yoga and Qi Gong classes was much appreciated. Our couples massage and complimentary wine after was just what we needed to finish our stay. Absolutely wonderful place and experience!

We had a fantastic stay at Una Vida! The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The atmosphere and decor were beautifully done, creating a warm and inviting ambiance. Our room was spacious and spotless, providing a comfortable retreat after a day of exploring. Additionally, the location was excellent, with plenty of great restaurants within walking distance. The only minor downside was that the bed was a bit stiff for our liking, but overall, it didn’t take away from our wonderful experience. We would definitely stay here again!

Our family of three—two adults and one teenager—stayed in the one-bedroom suite, and it was absolutely perfect. From the moment we arrived, it felt like stepping into an oasis of tranquility. The atmosphere was peaceful and calming, setting the tone for a truly relaxing getaway. Every aspect of our stay exceeded expectations—the beautifully designed rooms, the serene pool area, the exceptional dining, and the attentive, friendly staff all contributed to an unforgettable experience. We spent a full week here and loved every moment. Having a car was a great advantage (which I highly recommend for Tulum), as the location was conveniently close to everything we wanted to explore. Without hesitation, we would stay here again and highly recommend it to others seeking a perfect Tulum escape.

Rumble in the Jungle

This hotel has great service with the jungle feel. Food and drinks were pricey but decent. As beautiful as the atmosphere is the location is close to a highway which was noisy and kills the vibe to an extent. Security is a bit of a concern as the room locks are merely that of a bathroom door. We enjoyed that it is a smaller hotel and it felt like a home away from home with a quick walking distance to downtown.

Beautiful hotel and nice to have access to another hotel too with a pool table to play in the evenings. It was nice and quiet and private. Staff were mostly helpful but we did ask for their help with securing bikes and the first woman said there are none left so we’ll have to go elsewhere and then a second woman helped us get some - however they firstly wanted an extortionate amount of money (can’t remember exactly how much now) so we said no we’ll get them in town and then she came back offering them for less. Quite odd because usually in hotels they’re trying to help you not get scammed. Anyway the bikes got delivered and they were falling apart so definitely not worth the money. Also put a £320 holding charge on my card which seems a lot for only 4 nights and it took until I was back home for it to come back on my card which was annoying. Location was not the best - it was easy enough to walk to town but walking down some of the streets to get there didn’t feel very safe.

Good but not great

For the most part a beautiful place, with an inviting warm pool and beautiful outdoor lighting at night. The ability to use the adjoing Bardo Hotel pool and restaurant was a plus. Our room was spacious and beautifully furnished. Biggest downside was the plumbing. Any toilet flush in our or adjoining units caused a loud, prolonged, and startling gurgling in the sink of our kitchenette. Staff seemed unconcerned. There were unwelcome bugs on the floor of the room. Also, the hotel is not within safe walking distance of central Tulum. It is about 100 meters off of a very busy road, which can be heard throughout the complex. That 100 meters involves a very potholed gravel track. Finally, our arrival was delayed by a day and, despite our notifying the hotel in advance, it charged us the full price for the unoccupied night. They had the right to do that, but a discount or a free breakfast would have been a nice gesture.

I think the property was beautiful, although when we showed up the first thing I noticed was the flower decor around the pool was dead and dead leaves in the foliage gardens- they just had a hurricane and storms so that’s totally fine. The next day there was a florist there changing out the flowers. The road leading up to the hotel is riddle with HUGE pot holes, that sucks. It’s just not nice idk, and we rented a car so we had to be super careful. The room was really cold and nice but the bathroom was essentially outdoors, it wasn’t enclosed so it was super humid and you had the keep the bathroom door closed to keep the humidity out and cold air in the room. The wifi kept constantly dropping out, it’s kind of a big deal because there wasn’t a tv so at night we were streaming movies and at a point just had to go to bed and turn it off. The worst part about the hotel is DIRECTLY next to a construction site. 3 of the 4 days of our stay we were woken up but insane banging from the construction, it was non stop. We just had to hurry and leave for the day in the mornings because I could not take it. And with that, there’s no enjoying the property amenities because of the noise. They provided us with ear plugs… I get it’s beyond their control but had we known I would never have booked Una Vida. I have no clue when the construction will be done but if you’re thinking about it I would not book this hotel anytime soon.

Amazing!!

It was an amazing and relaxing at stay for a week! The cleanliness of the hotel was amazing, and they are always out making pathways and pools clear of leaves. The hotel has a private jungle feeling! We stayed in the room that had its own private pool- the only thing missing was a fridge within the room, as we didn’t want to buy some drinks and have them warm. The trees made it feel so private but it was never being in the sun and it remained quite cold! The staff were so so friendly and always so helpful. The drinks and food were AMAZING at the hotel (a little on the expensive side, which made us not really drink much about the pool). There is a sister hotel which you can walk to and also use the pool there! Hotels.com site said that our booking had breakfast which is didn’t… I had to spend 1.5hrs to try and get some money back. So be wary of this.
