Read moreThis hotel… made our experience absolutely amazing. Definitely didn’t know what to make of it when we arrived (the roads leading to the hotel are pretty rocky and unpaved) but once you open the door - BAM, an oasis.
I’ve stayed in so many different tiers of hotels on vacations, and Little Gem Hotel no lie might be one of the most well rounded hotels I’ve ever been to.
All of the staff, specifically Mr. Roman Ramirez, we’re OUTSTANDING. He single handedly made our trip so much easier than it should’ve been through kindness and assistance. He just wanted us to be happy and he was so kind and personable. What a guy. Without him, the whole trip to Tulum would’ve been completely different (for the worse). Our taxi to the Cancun airport cancelled on us 5 minutes before “pickup” and we had spent all of our pesos, given it was the last day. Within five minutes he ordered us a taxi that specifically took credit cards and we were on our way. My suitcase exploded - he gave me duck tape to shut it. Just… exceptional service.
The location of the hotel forces you to engage with the city of Tulum, and you’ll leave happy that you did. If we had stayed at a beach resort we honestly never would have left the resort or the beach in general. At this hotel we rented an ATV for $80 and would trek through the beautiful town. It was such a fun addition to the trip, and I truly left the city knowing I had seen it all!
Basically, BOOK THIS HOTEL. My summary:
Service: 10/10 Location: 8/10 (the roads.. w/ an ATV 10/10) Rooms: 9/10 Value: 10/10 Would I recommend? 10/10 Will I visit again? 10/10
Thank you for a truly...
