Mixed reviews and feelings on this hotel... in general the apartments are clean, a good size, cleaners are friendly... we didn’t use the pool even though it looked nice it didn’t get any sun as it’s shadowed by two hotels, maybe a different time of year you can lay out in the sun, I’m not sure?||This isn’t the hotel fault BUT literally 2 ft away directly next to Live Tulum is huge construction work going on, it’s the loudest concrete drilling I’ve ever heard and the floor was shaking, they’ve only just started the foundations so this work is right at the beginning stages of what looks like a new hotel being built next door. It wouldn’t have been too much of a problem if my GF wasn’t working remotely for 4 hrs every morning... it starts at 9am on the dot so if you’re up and out of the hotel for the day it’s probably nothing to worry about.||We were miss sold on the free breakfast and not refunded that we booked through booking .com. The hotel said booking .com shouldn’t have advertised the free breakfast but that was one of the reason we chose this place over another hotel, we wasn’t reimbursed any money but was given a free bottle of Prosecco for the troubles which was nice... so just a heads up because of Covid there is No breakfast or free bike rentals at advertised.||I think we were just unlucky and on another visit I’m sure the hotel would have been a way better experience, it’s wasn’t all bad.||The location is at the better end of down town and you can walk to everywhere downtown... the Mayan Ruins near the beach took us 40 minutes to walk to and a taxi to the Hotel Zone will cost between $200pesos - $400peso each way depending how are down the zone you go. ||7/10 is a...
Read moreTulum Trip Recap – Quick, Quirky, and Totally Worth It||||We flew into the new Tulum airport and wow—what a beautiful and smooth experience! It was fast, organized, and honestly a dream compared to Cancun airport. Reality check, though: there’s no cheap way into Tulum Centro from the airport. It’s about a 40-minute drive, and you're looking at $100–$150 USD for a taxi or private transfer. There’s an ADO bus option for around $30 per person, but we opted for convenience this time.||||Now, onto the hotel: we stayed at Live Tulum, which I couldn’t find a ton of info on beforehand, but at just $67 CAD per night for a Royal Swim Out room, we took a chance—and I’m glad we did! We weren’t in town for beach time, just two nights in Tulum Centro to explore and unwind.||||The location was perfect—super walkable. We hit up Super Akí for the essentials: limes, vodka, and Soda (priorities!). Then it was back to the room and straight into the pool. The temperature was perfect and it felt super private, though we still got to chat with a few fellow guests.||||The room itself was surprisingly big! A full kitchen, living space, and a comfy bedroom area. It had a cute, artsy vibe and felt homey. That said, it could’ve used a little extra cleaning love. Nothing nasty—just small things like some dust and a few dead bugs in the light fixtures. Same with the pool—totally usable, but maybe not getting daily spa treatment. All in all, for the price and location, Live Tulum was a great little find. A few quirks here and there, but it definitely added some charm...
Read moreThis hotel is amazing! We were there for 7 days and we kept wishing for more time we truly felt at home. The staff was so attentive and we got fresh sheets and towels as well as a clean room every single day! One day my husband wasn’t feeling good and the staff was genuinely asking about his well being throughout the day. Truly an amazing hotel and staff a few things for the savvy traveler the hotel is literally 3 min away from the center of Tulum so if you like to explore and eat out this is a great place for you although the breakfast they serve at livetulum everymorning is awesome! The ruins and playa pescadores are about 12 min bike ride from the hotel or a 200 peso taxi ride round trip. You can rent a bike in the hotel you just have to leave a deposit that you will be returned before you leave. We did experience some street noise from the road next to the hotel but it wasn’t anything extreme or bothersome.The cleaning staff will be in your room for about 30 min or so try to plan to be out of your room or in the pool while they make your place look and smell amazing everyday! You can also refuse the service if you don’t want to. Bring cash to the breakfast kitchen to tip the staff that kindly will serve you as well as the cleaning staff everyday or at the end of your stay. Seriously get off the resorts and come to LiveTulum you will not regret your stay! We are already...
