Glamp Ikal Tulum

Fantastic experience!! Loved every bit of it.

An unforgettable, one-of-a-kind stay at GlampIKAL – easily one of the best travel experiences ever.​ From the moment of arrival everything felt spotless and well cared for, from the tents to the common areas, which made the whole place feel both luxurious and close to nature at the same time. The staff were incredibly attentive and genuinely kind, always checking in, offering help, and making sure every little detail was taken care of without ever feeling intrusive.​ Staying near the beach was a highlight: waking up to the sound of the waves, stepping out onto soft sand, and enjoying a truly beautiful, uncrowded shoreline just a few steps from the tent. The whole property has a very unique atmosphere – it feels like a small seaside community where you can disconnect, relax, and still enjoy all the comforts you need.​ The food was excellent throughout the stay, with fresh, flavorful dishes that matched the quality of the setting, and the service in the restaurant was warm and efficient. Every interaction with staff reinforced how welcoming the place is; they were always helpful with requests and local tips, which made the experience even smoother.​ Overall, this was a very special experience that feels different from a typical hotel stay in the best possible way. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a clean, beautiful, and unique beach escape in Tulum – would absolutely return and encourage others to try it for themselves.​

Right on the beach - nothing beats that. Catch the sunrise on the beach before the tourists visiting the national park enters, and stay after sunset...For the price, the room was clean and spacious and the staff friendly and helpful. The shared bathrooms and showers are kept quite clean. Issues: wifi did not reach my room at all (but I can go by the restaurant for wifi or on the beach for 4G signal); the A/C did not work well, which was fine at night for my season (november), but don't plan on staying in during the day. You won't stay in. You'll be swimming in the sea.

The best service, specially Luis he went far and beyond trying to assist in our request, beautiful beach views, yoga and restaurant.

This "Glamp" is in the National Park which is the first of many issues. The park is now militarized and run by the government. You must purchase a bracelet to ride the electric trams in the park approx. $25 US. I couldn't get an answer on how long it was good for.Secondly , if you want to venture out to town or on an excursion you must pay a daily fee of 120 pesos or $6.50 US. to be allowed back in to the resort you paid to stay at. The Military also patrols the beach on ATV's. Taxis are expensive and the quoted price can change when you arrive at your destination. The harassment while shopping near the Ruins and exit of the park is exhausting. Sellers will chase you down. Something odd is happening at Glamp Ikal as they used to be a partner to the more luxurious Ikal Hotel adjoining the property. There were very little staff on site. It was very unclear who was actually in charge daily. There were a few grounds men . After more than 5 trips to the check in area it was hard to find anyone. Upon arrival my friend and I were just taken to our separate tents. No orientation, wifi password or how to operate the AC. Warning: there are no handrails on the platforms of the elevated tents . Some of the steps are extremely steep and the distance between them is very uneven. I sprained my foot and ankle ten minutes upon arriving trying to navigate the tent's steps( pics available) . The tent I was given reeked of mold. There are dehumidifiers but guests can't use them.

Glamp Ikal is the closets you can get to total immersion into the wild. By the sea you will feel the wind ear the noise mesure the storm. No frill no fancy civilised gadgets, just a cabana by the beach. Staff is outstanding. Those guys will go their best with this rustic basic environment with minimalist amenities. Ricardo and Jesus, I will remember you for your kindness and by making the stay perfect (with a bike, this is the way for your freedom).

Al lugar le falta mantenimiento en general

Like most hotels in Tulum, this one embraces a spiritual and nature-centered atmosphere — which is truly beautiful. There’s a great pool, a stunning yoga and meditation center, and the surroundings are incredibly peaceful. The restaurant is on the expensive side, and service was a bit slow at times. Our cabin had A/C issues the first night, and it was uncomfortably hot — we couldn’t sleep. Thankfully, the staff moved us to a different cabin the next day, and everything went smoothly after that. The hotel is located inside a national park, and at first, I was a bit upset because we had to pay an entrance fee I wasn’t aware of. But that was totally on me. Once we explored the area, we realized the fee was actually worth it — we had access to free transportation within the park and got to enjoy beautiful landscapes and plenty of wildlife.

Service was excellent

I was absolutely overwhelmed with this resort. It was more than I could ever have imagined. The whole property was so clean and environmentally friendly. The vibe was so peaceful and I met so many wonderful people, staff and guests. They offer so many activities and special services (i.e. the temezcal ritual, massage, yoga, etc). The food was excellent! The location was absolutely goregous. I am already planning my trip back to Glamp Ikal next year!

Had an amazing time at this unique, very tranquil resort. The food and drinks are double normal prices but we found other options in town. The beach, overall vibe, and daily yoga in the stunning ocean-view shala made it all worth it. The beds were very comfortable and the shared washrooms / showers were good - lots of hot water. I rented a bike from Ikal and rode to Gran Cenote which took about 30 minutes, 20 on a modern path and 10 on road side. Not for beginners. You can walk to ruins from Ikal. Highly recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great time great beach.

Alan was super friendly and explained everything to us, facility is amazing if you want to disconnect for a couple of days, vibes were great! Will definitely come back

The staff were really great. Jorge (the bellhop) was really friendly and helpful. Daniel was my driver and I highly recommend that you travel with him. I DOMT LIKE THAT THIS HOTEL DOESNT HAVE COMPLIMENTARY AIRPORT TRANSFER ESPECIALLY SINCE you got to pay for literally everything else. The food was ok. It was Chevy (not as authentic as I would like) big down side was the shared bathrooms and shower. Another downside was that the air conditioner didn’t completely cool down the tent. But overall I loved the stay and had a great time. Would definitely do it again.

Directions were confusing, roads on the phone did not match same name. You want to go down rt 15 but really no sign saying rt 15 , right at the start of tulum main strip on 307. Go down to were it makes a sharp turn to the rt. At that point there is a rd that one may think its just to the hotel depending on if you there durning day or night. That is the road you take in. Its is almost a 105 degree turn to the left. We were not able to find it first night and had people giving us all sorts of directions. Would try to get there in day light. Kindof disappers at night if you dont know what your looking for and dont know if your on the right road.

The tent i rent is old and not clean.

GlamIKAL is located within a natural forest preserve and has gorgeous white sand beaches. The unit I stayed in was clean and nice and very close to the beach. Housekeeping was very hit or miss and you could hear the neighbors even lightly talking so I would recommend brining headphones and an eye mask. The pros: The meditation/yoga classes they are offer were great. If you are staying at GlampIKAL you receive one 200 peso class for free. The classes range from 200 to 350 pesos. They also offer a wide range of on campus and off campus healing modalities. The best thing I did on my trip was the Healing Sound Therapy at a Private Cenote in the jungle with Diego. Couldn't recommend it enough! The cons: The restaurant at IKAL is by far the worst restaurant I've been to in my life. I waited an hour and 15 minutes for overnight oats that never came after speaking to 6 people which made me miss my meditation class on winter solstice. I stayed for 7 days and on all but one occasion I had major issues at the restaurant. Every person I talked to at GlampIKAL said the same thing and most of the issues were when there were only a few people even eating at the restaurant. The restaurant is also wildly expensive and the food is average at best. The problem is that other than Matcha Mama (which is good but has limited offerings and were frequently out of items) there isn't any other food available at the hotel which made is very difficult when meals would take 1-1.5 hours when you order

The grounds of the hotel smelled rotten, like poorly draining sewage. The glamping tents are completely covered in mold.

The property is on a beautiful location of Tulum Beach, we really enjoyed the Yoga Class and beautiful beach nice and clean, but the property glamping was horrible the tent was dirty and broken they upgraded us to a better tent but the AC was not working and the bed had bedbugs
