I recently had the pleasure of staying at Kai Tulum and let me tell you, it was an absolute dream! From the moment we arrived, we knew we were in for something special. First off, let me highly recommend splurging for the oceanview room - it's worth every penny! Waking up to the sound of the waves crashing against the shore and the breathtaking view of the turquoise waters was simply magical.

Now, let's talk about the food. Oh my goodness, it was out of this world! Every meal we had at the resort's restaurant was a culinary delight. From fresh seafood to mouthwatering local specialties, every bite was a taste sensation.

One thing that really stood out to us was how impeccably clean and well-maintained the resort was, especially compared to neighboring beachfront properties. It's clear that the staff take great pride in their work, and it definitely shows.

Speaking of the staff, I can't say enough good things about them. Not only were they incredibly helpful and attentive, but they were also genuinely friendly and welcoming. It really enhanced our overall experience knowing that we were in good hands.

Now, I do want to mention something that caught us off guard. On our second day, we encountered individuals claiming to be federal agents in polo shirts and asking for a fee of 60 pesos per person in order to return to our resort. While it's possible that this was a legitimate charge for entry to the national park, we couldn't help but feel like it might have been a scam. Especially considering there were others who were seemingly granted passage. They also did not allow plastic and we were forced to throw away our bottles before proceeding. Just something to be aware of and perhaps clarify with the staff upon arrival.

Now, let's talk about the accommodations. Our room was like something out of a luxury travel magazine - a private hut with all the amenities you could ask for, including air conditioning and an outdoor shower (which was a lifesaver for rinsing off sand). Plus, having hammocks right outside our door was the perfect touch.

And let's not forget about the welcome drink - a refreshing treat after our journey to the resort. Whether you prefer something alcoholic or a fresh juice, it's a lovely gesture that sets the tone for your stay.

Of course, no tropical getaway would be complete without a dip in the pool, and Kai Tulum's pool was a true oasis. After a day of exploring or lounging on the beach, it was the perfect spot to cool off and relax.

Now, I will say that the sargassum on the beach was a bit of a nuisance, especially as the tide got higher. However, the resort staff did their best to keep the beach clean, and we always managed to find a way to enjoy the water without too much trouble.

Overall, our stay at Kai Tulum was nothing short of perfection. From the stunning oceanview room to the delectable food to the impeccable service, it's easily the best resort experience we've ever had. We can't wait to return!
