I also created a table of reviews on my personal experience i hope it will help you to make the perfect choice for your trip.
1. Dreams Tulum Resort and Spa
I recommend this Tulum all-exclusive resort for families with kids and teenagers. The Dreams Tulum Resort and Spa is a wonderful option before describing its massive features I tell you one thing this place is worth your every peso.
Firstly, it is located on the Riviera Maya and just one hour from Cancun airport. Secondly, it has a lot of dining options with seven bars, On to the Food Dreams Tulum offers you eight hilarious dining options. I recommend El PATIO RESTAURANT for its authentic Mexican food and THE WORLD CAFE which gives you a buffet and hey how can I forget to write about COCO CAFE? It’s my comfy corner for my work vacation time. Coffee from Coco and its bakery items aughhh what reminds me…..Okay, Okay, Now it’s time to review its family rooms.
So, it offers a nice king-size bed, 2 double beds, 2 bathrooms and a private balcony or a terrace. Let me tell you more about its facilities i am too excited about it. It offers a 42-inch smart TV in every family room, plush robes, slippers, a hair dryer, a coffee maker, a mini bar, and a room table isn’t it amazing?
Now the fun time, Dreams Tulum offers you a range of entertainment options. There are two outdoor pools both having different designs that cater to different preferences. One pool is surrounded by comfortable loungers and the other is known as an activity hub. Now It gonna be interesting for teenagers because Pool Number Two offers daily aqua aerobics sessions and a weekly pool party. Last but not least, it has a water park and a kids’ club area that has a lot of engaging activities for kids. To make your choice easier I created a table with my review criteria and ratings check it below:

2. La Zebra Hotel Tulum
I put La Zebra on number two because my family’s experience with this boutique hotel is too good. It is one of the best beachfront Tulum hotels for families. I recommend this hotel only because it prefers to cater to kids. I am not a big fan of its architecture because it’s too basic but It has an amazing beachfront that you all looking for.
And the most interesting thing about this hotel is it offers you food and drinks on the beach site. Also, many activities for children like swings on the beach site and a specific play area for kids too. You can imagine how relaxing it is to lay on sunbeds and see your child playing on the beach’s white sand.
Okay So, Now we are talking about the room review of Le Zebra Hotel. There are six categories of rooms some are with plush pools and some are without. We had an ocean-view room which was slightly different from ocean front room. In the front room, you can get a pure ocean view without any abstraction.
If you are with your family then I recommend getting an ocean-view room because Le Zebra provides an amazing service in it too. we get a mini pool exactly in front of our room and the furniture is too comfortable to sit on. We also had a sofa for my younger brother and a foldable mattress for my younger sister and it’s too relaxed. We had tons of closet space, a full coffee-making service except milk, some wine glasses and a fully stocked mini-bar. The bathrooms are nicely done with necessities.

2. Kanan Hotel Tulum
Okay so, before starting its review let me clear a thing this hotel has a full romantic jungly vibe with a luxury touch and I am in love with it. I am not putting it on number one just because it’s too rushy or a busy place and I know some people do not feel comfortable around many people, so I will not do self-obsessed ratings just because I loved it too much.
Let’s start with its room services it offers you a wooden bathtub exactly beside your kingsize bed. You have a very comfortable sitting area with a decent space on the balcony. You have a pool if you book a room on the ground floor otherwise you only get a good bohemian vibe. In the specs, we consider its spa area and a mini theatre for movies. You may also get a fantastic dinner table on the rooftop you will be blown out by the view from there. Move towards my criteria of review:

The king-size bed in the room was adorable and the alarm clock beside it looked cute.
Overall it’s an amazing experience with its quality food. It has a lot of options for food inside the resort. If you are a sushi lover then Noriku is a recommendation from my heart. Now just look once at my ratings before going to Booking.com.

2. Be Tulum Beach & Spa Resort
If you are a solo traveller looking for some adventurous accommodation and your budget is also handsome then this place is for you. I recommend this resort to solo travellers ( Boys/ Girls) because it has direct access to the Caribbean Sea. So, you can get easily a chance to go swimming with dolphins and snorkelling.
One more reason for adding this resort to the list of best hotels and resorts for solo travellers is it provides two pools in the resort and one of them is along the barside. So for the bar vibe, you don’t need to go outside. Imagine you have a shot of tequila in your hand and you are sitting at the edge of a pool dipping half your legs in the water. Bea, You get the vibe of Tulum Quintana Roo Mexico in Be Tulum Beach & Spa Resort.
As a solo traveller, the most important thing at any place for me is my safety and my food yeah sorry guys I am foody and this place has both things. They have excellent food and a secure environment their staff service is incredible and they have budget-friendly room options for solo travellers. What more do you want to listen to?

3. Hotel Tiki Tiki Tulum/ Holistika
Hotel Tiki Tiki Tulum Mexico and its sister property Holistika Tulum are on my budget-friendly options list b/c you get two for the price of one and b/c of its great design. Tiki Tiki and Holistika are two different properties but by booking in one you will access the facilities of both. Tiki Tiki is serving breakfast and lunch only. For dinner, you will go to Holistika. And trust me you’ll be said wow to the food.
The pool and lobby area are my favourite places. But the room’s design from the outside is too basic and from inside, it’s too simple. In-room facilities, you have no TV, a partially stuck mini fridge, or an espresso maker. But solo and budget-tight guys never get more best options from this.
