Really good Culinary Experience

“I had the pleasure of dining at La Zebra's restaurant several times during our stay, and was absolutely delighted by the food. Each dish I tried was expertly prepared, and the bold flavors, especially during the Taco Thursdays event, were a highlight of my trip. The all-you-can-eat tacos were some of the best I've ever had, showcasing various regional flavors of Mexico. The atmosphere was also enchanting, making it perfect for romantic dinners!” view full review

Fine Beachfront Rooms

“Our beachfront room was a dream! We had our own plunge pool right outside our door, providing an intimate setting to relax while looking out at the ocean. The spacious room was beautifully decorated and maintained, with luxurious amenities, made us feel right at home. Waking up to the sound of waves and being able to enjoy the sunrise from our room made our stay lovely.” view full review

My kids had a blast in the sand and were able to enjoy delicious, kid-friendly menu options that catered to their tastes, great to fully relax as parents.” view full review

This added a personalized touch to our beach experience that I truly appreciated.” view full review

Our stay at La Zebra was simply wonderful. We loved the spacious and clean beachfront room with a private pool, perfect for relaxing evenings watching the sunset. The location is ideal, being close to great restaurants and local street food while still being peaceful enough to enjoy the sound of the waves. The dining experiences, especially the Chef's Table and cooking classes, were outstanding. However, while the beach service was friendly, it was a bit slow at times.

This hotel offers a unique experience in Tulum with its authentic atmosphere, making it a top choice for families. The location is unbeatable, just a short walk to shops and essential spots. However, the service can be quite slow and the communal pool isn't great for swimming. Despite these issues, the hotel's charm and character really shine through, and I would still choose to stay here for its family-friendly vibe.

I had a fantastic experience at La Zebra. The location is perfect, with easy access to the best restaurants in Tulum and right by the beach. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, although I did notice some noise from construction during my stay. The food was outstanding, and the staff were genuinely welcoming. However, the hip atmosphere might not be everyone's cup of tea, and families with kids were present, which was a bit of a drawback for me.
