I am IN LOVE with Nueva Vida. Beautiful accomodations, incredible staff and the most lovely breakfast. Magdalena & Levit made my stay so amazing. I will DEFINITELY be back ❤️❤️❤️

Beautiful beach, clean room, small and boutique feel but without the attitude

We had a bungalow on the beach!! The walk from reception to our accommodation was through lush palm trees through to glorious white sand and turquoise blue sea. The staff were amazing, in particular Magdalena who arranged the bouquet for our wedding vow renewal on the beach. It is a short walk from many bars, restaurants and day parties. Our favourite restaurant was Hartwood. Sit at the bar before dinner and watch the barmen make some extraordinary cocktails which are on the pricy side but worth the money.

This is an older wonderful find tucked among the new hotels and NOISY bars on the beach road. After spending 8 days exploring Mexico City this was pretty much what we needed….beach, books, naps and an ocean breeze to keep the temperature comfortable. The staff here were wonderful and did their best to accommodate us by moving us immediately to a quieter, very nice cottage. It was much appreciated and they were correct…things mostly calmed down after the weekend. Breakfast on the beach was a treat. Fresh fruit, homemade jam, a digestif, coffee and good omelettes with eggs from the chickens they raise right at the hotel. We didn’t rent a car and suggest doing so if you plan to explore the Tulum area. The beach here is beautiful with sand like sugar. We had to deal with sargassum but it didn’t keep my husband out of the waves. I enjoyed the very lovely pool and had it to myself. Thank you to Magdalena, Levite and chef for their care!

What a treat! A beautiful room with an awesome balcony and stunning ocean view, great beach access, gorgeous and natural surroundings, super warm and welcoming staff, delicious fresh breakfast, strong coffee, plenty of places to relax. Such a perfect stay!

We loved this place and will probably go back again! The staff were really great. We loved the breakfast that's right there

This is a lovely property in a sea of touristy, less serene beachside properties. The staff here is awesome. So helpful and kind. Breakfast is hearty (eggs from the chickens on the property!) toast, juice, fresh fruit, and coffee. The rooms are nice and have a fridge. All of the rooms face the water. We had room 1 that was right on the beach and next to the pool.

Our six night stay here was a nice one overall, but there are many things you should be aware of before booking. Our “garden” room was surrounded by dense foliage that was beautiful, BUT THERE IS NO AIR CONDITIONING in the “garden” rooms - more like huts with a toilet, shower, and bed - that is all. There isn’t even a ceiling fan. Beware of the mosquitos. The other big issue was the running water (which we obviously never put in our mouth) had an extremely odd smell - not sulfur like untreated well water - but something else entirely that I couldn’t figure out. I realize that these garden rooms do not cost as much (as I was looking for a bargain), but with 85 degree temps, 89% humidity and a dew point hovering everyday around 73 you would be amiss not to think you need a little AC. The staff were always pleasant (don’t show up after 10pm- because you won’t find anyone at the front desk. The pool was small, but well maintained. The outdoor sunning beds were nice. The morning breakfasts were nice with fruit, bread, and eggs from the chickens they have on property:).

Very comfortable accommodations (most with ocean views) in an exceptional location with truly outstanding staff. The included full breakfast was incredible with the freshest, tastiest options. The paths & gardens offered a very relaxed & quiet environment. All the bungalows include a spacious porch with hammocks & views of the turquoise sea. Only downfall which is not at all this hotels fault is the boom boom boom going on from the beach club down the road which only got annoying by around 6pm. Regardless, we did absolutely relax on this vacation & would not hesitate to book a stay here again.

Right on the beach, stunning view from the balcony. The room was very clean and cleaned daily. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Breakfast at Casa Habanero was delicious and a perfect way to start the day. The property grounds were spectacular in every way. Jungle meets the beach. I would recommend this property and if I ever get the chance to go back to tulum I will be staying at Nueva Vida.

Amazing location, incredible staff and wonderful memories

Literally on the beach, in the area of boutique hotels which are usually smaller and higher value in terms of service and customers. The hotel is a little gem hosted in a luxuriant area. The room is huge with a view on the sea with strong wifi and a safe, no AC but you don t need one, the night breeze cools the room pretty well. The stafd is absolutely awesome, the breakfast was also good! Highly recommended

We couldn’t be happier with our stay! I booked this because the bungalow had a balcony with unobstructed views of the beach/ocean… When we arrived they wanted to move us because the property beside them was having an event… Listen,Tulum is known for its EDM music scene and nightlife so I can’t complain. We asked to see both rooms and they were more than willing! We chose the room they had wanted to move us to and it was perfect! Little of an obstructed view but at the same time it really was simply amazing and we decided to book an extra night before we decided on dinner that night! Let’s talk food… Tamarindo/Pasha were great although they didn’t look like much on the walk by. Tamarindo had a slightly better breakfast offering than the new cafe on the beach at the hotel but only slightly. Plenty of Michelin rated restaurants within walking distance and priced similar to/slightly less than “fine” dining in the US. The staff was amazing! They were always available but at the same time they weren’t over your shoulder! My only “dig” on this place is that it could use a little upkeep. It is by no means falling apart or “gross” but some of the thatch roofs had tarps to prevent leaks that really just should be repaired/replaced… Boho chic outdoor furniture on pool deck that should just be thrown out… Given the jungle setting the tarps were almost unnoticeable but I’m that guy! We will… not would, stay here next time we are in Tulum and it was a bargain at their current rates!

Amazing place to stay. Nature preserve on premises is beautiful. Breakfast and restaurant where served was perfect. Stayed in multiple huts/casas. All were well done. Staff was friendly and very accommodating. Overall unique experience!

Muy bonita propiedad 😍 a pasos de la playa, desayuno incluido muy rico sencillo! Buena locación al salir a la izquierda como a 5min caminando hay un puestesito de comida muy rica y económica. Anyways me encantó nueva vida

The hotel is a peaceful, secluded gem with beautiful ocean views. The management and staff of the hotel and restaurant were always helpful and friendly. Special thanks to Nayeli and and Juanita for helping to make our trip such a relaxing and enjoyable experience. We'll be back

The view from the room was beautiful. The room was clean and adequately equipped with all we needed. Breakfast by the ocean was delicious and staff was friendly and helpful. The beach was beautiful and water was warm. It was quaint, more quiet, and sustainable compared to many of the larger resorts nearby. Resident chickens provided eggs for our breakfast!

Staff, ambiance, nature, beautiful place.

The front desk (Eric) and restaurant (Richard) staff were wonderful. Included breakfast was very tasty, served right on the beach. Our room, though not luxury, was very large and comfortable in a rustic way. There was a water outage one evening, but it was fixed within an hour. Staying within view and sound of the ocean was a first for us and we enjoyed it very much. The property was very lush, different from most of the other hotels on the strip.

Room was clean, excellent staff, view of pool and ocean was spectacular.
