Una Vida

We had a lovely time at Una vida. We had reserved the one bedroom suite via Expedia in which photographs had shown a bathtub however our suite did not have a bathtub. We inquired with the staff and the following day we were switched to another one bedroom suite which did have both the shower and a bath as we had been looking forward to. Other than this, the room was excellent, very clean. The staff were very attentive and kind. The best part is the yoga type classes available at Bardo at no extra cost. We visited late December and thus seemed less busy at this time so the complex was quiet. The pools are lovely particularly the accessible Bardo pool. We had a wonderful stay and would recommend Una vida if your looking for a relaxing stay in walking distance of downtown Tulum.

Just away from centro, but an easy walk.

We had a lovely 5 night stay at Una Vida! The staff was were exceptional and took great care of us. Thank you!

Magnifique ! Très bel établissement, le jardin et la piscine magnifiques. Le personnel était charmant et très professionnel. le quartier de La Veleta offre de bels options pour diner dans des restaurants joliment décorés à 15 minutes à pied. Bus à proximité pour les Ruines et les plages :). Excellent rapport qualité/prix. Vous pouvez réserver cet hôtel les yeux fermés, c'est une vrai pépite ! Encore Merci !

Magnifique !

Great place, highly recommend

The location is convenient. There’s a local food court area close and it was great. I really didn’t feel welcomed during my stay. The check in procedures and policies were overwhelming. The daily security deposit instead of a flat rate is a lot and having to sign your name exactly like your passport definitely threw me off. Beside that nice place.

Such a cute place! We booked a private villa For a bachelorette weekend and had a wonderful time.

Excelente para relajarse y descansar

I recently spent 5 nights at Una Vida and it was truly a unique and refreshing experience. This is not your typical resort-style stay—it’s a small, boutique hotel intentionally designed for you to disconnect from the outside world. There are no microwaves, refrigerators, phones, or televisions in the rooms, which at first feels unusual, but quickly becomes part of the charm. The focus is on slowing down and being present. WiFi is available via a QR code provided at check-in, which worked well when I needed it. The staff are exceptionally friendly, attentive, and English-speaking, which made communication seamless. They go above and beyond with small but thoughtful touches—helping with luggage to and from your room, arranging transportation, and offering great recommendations on local activities. Daily housekeeping kept the room clean and comfortable, and I really appreciated the peaceful environment throughout the property. It’s the kind of place where you wake up surrounded by nature and can truly unwind without distractions. If you’re looking for a luxury, all-inclusive feel, this may not be the hotel for you. But if your goal is rest, reconnection, and an authentic Tulum experience, Una Vida is perfect. I left feeling refreshed, cared for, and deeply appreciative of the slower pace it encouraged.

Beautiful…. I will be returning Great staff… attentive

The pool

Beautiful pool and rooms. Excellent customer service.

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…
