Niik Tulum

Beautiful hotel, love the aesthetic. Whoever designed this did a really great job. The rooms look onto a lot of plants and trees and a lovely pool which gets afternoon sun. The drinks at the bar were good, as was the pizza/pasta we had at the restaurant in the evening (well priced). Other reviews have mentioned the location - we stayed three nights and had no issue with noise. It's in the safer, quieter hotel area, but a quick walk to a variety of restaurants, a convenience store, mezcal bar and froyo (+ ice cream) place nearby. There's parking in the shade on the side of the hotel. Staff were super friendly and let us store our bags for most of the day before we left (thank you!). Liked the little touches like the water bottle in the room each day, the way the rooms smelled super fresh and the little turtle soaps. :)

Kiin Tulum is tucked away in a tranquil neighborhood just outside the busy center—a perfect spot if you enjoy some peace but still want to be near civilization. The location is actually a highlight, with plenty of nice restaurants nearby to distract you from the "mystery" breakfast hours. The receptionist’s work ethic was truly avant-garde. Breakfast hours? A fun guessing game! Breakfast location? Choose your own adventure! And for added excitement, they photographed all our passports on a personal phone—no fancy apps here, just good old-fashioned innovation. The rooms were quite spacious and Instagram-ready, with a big shower, fridge, microwave, and even a TV! The catch? No signal whatsoever. It’s like a modern art installation symbolizing disconnection. The only thing remotely watchable was YouTube Shorts, assuming you enjoy being served 15-second clips of random chaos. Sadly, housekeeping seemed to be on a spiritual retreat. We got "vintage" dirty linen on the bed (but hey, at least there was linen!), and towels? Just one—because sharing is caring. The shower was a piece of modern art, stunning to behold but strictly decorative, as warm water was apparently a luxury from a parallel universe. Air-drying post-shower? A brisk reminder of life's little challenges. The true heroes of this establishment were the breakfast staff—absolute legends. These gentlemen deserve medals, promotions, or at least a standing ovation. Their warmth and friendliness made breakfast the high point of our stay. Final scorecard: Hotel: 6/10 (for the interactive mystery experience and digital detox) Restaurant: 8/10 (for keeping our spirits alive) Location: 8/10 (close to great restaurants and far enough from the chaos)

The pizza place that never has any pizza. Over several months we have stopped here 6+ plus times hoping to get a pizza. But they never have any lol. The oven is never on, etc etc. Sounds honestly just pretty lazy to me.
