Fantastic service like this is one of the best features of luxury. All of the hotel staff from the front desk to restaurant to spa were incredibly friendly and helpful. It was warm and friendly, they provided us with lots of detail about the hotel and surrounding area, provided us with a delicious welcome drink (we chose margaritas, of course!), and a tour of the property and our room. The welcome at check-in was one of the best I have experienced anywhere. It is small and intimate with 29 beautiful rooms designed in a boho chic style. La Zebra's design blends into its environment so it isn't jarring or obtrusive like other resort areas. While few survivors made it to shore, the ones who did watched a zebra swim ashore and run into the jungle. La Zebra got its name from a ship from Africa carrying seeds, spices, and animals, which was shipwrecked off the coast of Quintana Roo. This stunning hotel is nestled between the Tulum jungle and the turquoise sea. We stayed at the beautiful boutique hotel, La Zebra Tulum, which is also part of the exclusive Small Luxury Hotels Group. Minimal makeup (it's so humid that it will melt right off some waterproof mascara and a lip tint is perfect) It is fine to shower in it though.įlowing, boho-style dresses (especially in light fabrics like linen) ![]() Also remember to not drink the water or brush your teeth with it use the purified water / bottled water at your hotel. Also nearby are beautiful Mayan ruins from the 13th century which overlook the sea at the Tulum National Park. Tulum is very humid (nearly or at 100% humidity!) with lots of mosquitoes around so remember to bring bug repellent. The 'main' town of Tulum is a few minutes drive away. ![]() The shopping is also great but very very expensive. The food is excellent with many of the restaurants using local ingredients, so it's hard to go wrong with wherever you pick to eat. There is a mix of local people and expats from Europe and Scandinavia living and working in Tulum, who were incredibly friendly and helpful. The hotels are small and tucked away, blending into their surroundings without interfering with the natural environment. Along the Tulum Beach Road, you'll find beautiful independent shops selling artisan goods like home furnishings, art, clothing, and jewelry, along with many yoga studios, juice bars, and fabulous restaurants. It's stylish, laidback, and home to a very creative design community it's easy to see why it has become such a hot destination. Situated between a lush jungle and sparkling turquoise sea, it is the perfect place to relax without mega resorts, nightclubs, or pubs. Tulum is best described as boho beach chic. Below are some of my tips and recommendations for Tulum! We tried to make the best of our trip by venturing out when the rain would temporarily let up to explore Tulum, as well as enjoy our beautiful hotel, La Zebra. Needless to say, it was disappointing but sometimes that happens with travel! When traveling, expect the unexpected and go with the flow, trying not to stress too much. and then a tropical storm swept in that basically confined us to our hotel for nearly the entire trip, getting progressively worse each day. I was so looking forward to relaxing on the white sands, soaking in the warm sunshine, and swimming int turquoise water. I recently traveled to Tulum, Mexico, which was the first time I had been in years. ![]()
