Overall Ratings & Reviews Una Vida

We are so pleased we listened to the reviews for this property and decided to book here last minute. We were so happy with our 4-night stay at Una Vida. The staff are super friendly and helpful, the room was impressive for the price (especially compared to similarly priced but far less attractive hotels in the area), the room amenities and cleanliness were faultless, the location was brilliant as we felt super secluded and safe with easy walking proximity to Tulum's main centre. The photos are accurate as well, which is a massive bonus compared to other places in the area! Something we read in reviews was the added benefit of access to the Bardo and Milam sister hotels. Bardo is next door and essentially offers a second gorgeous eating, swimming and relaxing space whilst staying at Una Vida. We visited Milam too, which was a bit further away but was definitely worth checking out. The food there was really good, and the pool would be excellent on a sunnier day (we visited when it was raining heavily, so didn't bother with swimming in the pool). The staff at all 3 locations are helpful and very friendly, making you feel welcome and cared for in all spaces, even if you're not staying there specifically. All in all, I would say anyone who prefers some quiet, feeling connected to the lush jungle atmosphere and enjoys a touch of affordable bohemian luxury, this place is definitely for you!

The property was gorgeous!! You can access the pool at their sister property which is a great feature. I just wish the food was better.

I love this property, the staff is so attentive and they care for every detail. I’ve been there several times and I intend to be back soon :)

Con- Stayed on the property for 1 week and never had hot water for showering. It being a tropical warm area it was manageable but not alway the most comfortable. Brought it up to service desk but couldn’t get a good answer or a fix to the issue. Pro- staff was very accommodating for food, drinks and safe travel. Atmosphere was very peaceful and pleasant. Inside the property was absolutely gorgeous and safe.

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.

Todo estuvo super genial .. los detalles pequeños no se cuentan por que son insiginificantes en comparacion con todo lo demas. Muchas gracias por todo..

Hotel great. Town itself, not so much…

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.

We stayed in a private villa & it was so beautiful!

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.

I love this place, the rooms, the attentive staff and the decoration and - candles- around the property Beautiful

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.

A great hotel with a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. The pool area, overall decor and the room were really impressive!

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.

staff was amazing! Fernando, Guadalupe, Santos and Sweeny were all wonderful! The property is gorgeous and the sister properties were beautiful and convenient to visit. I will definitely return for another stay

Amazing property. Will definitely return back.

Pretty good

I just love everything about this hotel. The service , decoration, location. It’s my third time staying in this hotel and I stayed at 6 other resorts in tulum but this is the best for the buck. Highly recommended
