"Perfect Gateway with Incredible Service Nestled in the idyllic setting of Tulum Beach, our stay at this hotel was nothing short of a tropical paradise. The hotel's prime beachside location offered us easy access to the azure waters and was conveniently situated right next to some of the best restaurants in the area. The staff ALWAYS went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for families and relaxation-seekers alike. The cleanliness of the property was impeccable, and the culinary delights, particularly the mouthwatering tacos, were a delish experience to remember. Overall, this hotel is a haven of tranquility and hospitality in the heart of Tulum."

"From the moment I arrived at Lula by Le Zebra, I knew I was stepping into something extraordinary. The property itself feels like a modern magical treehouse, it's earthy, intentional, and deeply connected to the land. The grounds are lush and built around the trees rather than cutting them down, with thoughtful touches everywhere: foot rinses at every entrance, outdoor shower by the beach, and a rooftop above the spa and shala where the sunrises feel sacred. My oceanside room was spacious and cool with full air conditioning, a comfortable bed, luxurious pillows, and a daybed for lounging. The hammock chair on the balcony became one of my favorite spots to just sway and listen to the sea. Turndown service with tea and cookies each night was the perfect little ritual of comfort. The Staff & Service: The service at Lula is impeccable, warm, and heartfelt. Every interaction was infused with kindness. Housekeeping was consistent and always thoughtful, Rosa and Theresa especially stood out. One morning I realized I'd left behind my bathing suit cover-up and the team had already found it for me before I even asked. The staff truly care about your stay and go above and beyond in ways both big and small. The Food Was A Culinary Journey at La Zebra!!! Because I was there during low season, La Zebra's kitchen prepared meals for both properties, Lula and La Zebra. What an absolute blessing! The food was, without exaggeration, some of the best I've had in my life. Chef Raziel, with the brilliant team (Gabriel, Juan Pablo, and Daniel) alongside the attentive servers (Christian, Adolfo, Manuel, Leo, Damian), created meals that felt like love stories on a plate. Every dish was intentional and allowed the ingredients to shine. Over the course of the retreat, I enjoyed a journey through cuisines: Whole grilled fish that felt like a feast from the sea itself, Fresh ceviche served in coconuts, both vibrant and tender, Sashimi that melted on the tongue, Grilled chicken cooked to juicy perfection, Crisp cucumber salads, colorful fruits, velvety hummus, and more. Each meal arrived with 2-3 appetizers, 2 mains, and a dessert. The abundance was stunning and the freshness unmatched. They even used copal smoke and fans during meals to ease the mosquitoes, such a thoughtful detail. Truly, this team and their food were a highlight of the entire retreat. The Retreat & Wellness Experience: I came to Lula for a women's wellness retreat curated by Chara, with movement offerings guided by Ricardo, Chara and others. Together they held a beautiful container that balanced structure with spaciousness. Each ceremony, from the cenote to cacao to temazcal to the floating at Sian Ka'an revealed new layers of healing and wonder. Chara's gift is her devotion to women's wellness and soul nourishment. She carefully created experiences that helped us push our edges while also allowing room to rest, to choose, to simply be. Ricardo's gentle masculine presence grounded our group, especially in the movement classes, adding balance and steadiness. I felt both supported and free throughout my stay. Final Reflection: Lula by Le Zebra is not just a hotel. It is an oasis. A place where luxury and intention meet. A space where you feel both cared for and at ease. If you are considering a stay here, do it. Lula is magical. I will absolutely be back. Insider tip: Bring mosquito repellent. Also, there are certain times of year where the seaweed is horrible and this time was one of them."

"We chose to stay at La Zebra for our group trip as the concierge has been excellent and responsive from the start. It was a challenge in the beginning to look for hotels that would be responsive or accommodating, but La Zebra was the perfect choice for us. Beach front, excellent location, walking distance to amazing restaurants, the best service, and nice spacious comfortable rooms. The lovely concierge team helped us with all of our bookings from tours, to restaurants, to transfers - anything we needed! Our trip was seamless all thanks to the hotel."

"I want to start off by saying that this hotel was a lovely place to stay during our 5 night stay in Tulum. We did a lot of research prior to booking and landed on this hotel due to its location, price, and amenities. We loved our plunge pool, they were very accommodating with switching our room to a better view after our first night, and we loved the morning and night time coffee/tea service. It was quite charming. However, we had ONE BIG ISSUE. BE CAUTIOUS staying here as young girls traveling alone. We sought out recommendations from the hotel in regards to an inexpensive and fun way to explore the downtown area as well as the beach and cenotes. The Hotel reccomended to us a moped rental service which charged three times the amount of other local vendors. We only found this out after we had returned the scooters. We rented the scooters for 24 hours and were told they were safe to take on the gravel roads and around town by the hotel staff. This was definitely not the case!! The roads are extremely slippery, and one of us fell while driving on one of these treacherous roads and severely injured herself. We called the rental company immediately and informed them. Upon returning the scooters, both fully operational minus one scratch on the front from the fall, the hotel told us they would assist us should there be any issues with damages. Juan Carlos who works at the front desk was assisting with these supposed negotiations. He clearly didn’t have our best interests at heart as hotel guests when he tried to get us to pay an obscene amount for the crack on the scooter. He’s clearly close with the boss of the company and it felt like he was taking advantage of us. We informed him that we had every intention of paying for the damage and would reach out to the company directly. At this point, he threatened to give the boss of the company our cell phone number which we refused, threatened to put the damages on our hotel bill without our consent, and even tried to end the conversation by saying he would send the boss of the company to OUR HOTEL ROOM TO COLLECT THE PAYMENT. As young girls staying in Mexico this is not okay by any means. We retreated to our room and were genuinely scared. We called the hotel front desk again, and spoke with another employee (I believe Carlos) who was extremely helpful and helped us negotiate with the company and assured us we were safe and no one would hurt us. Overall, prior to this happening we were having a great stay. The majority of the hotel staff is friendly and caring. It was definitely frustrating feeling like the hotel staff didn’t have our best interests at heart at a time when we really required their help. It’s a very frustrating feeling being in a foreign country and the people you are paying to take care of you don’t. I probably won’t be staying here again."

"La Zebra is truly our favorite hotel anywhere, every stay somehow tops the last! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel so cared for. A special thank you to Juan Carlos, who went above and beyond throughout our visit, making sure we had fresh tea in our room each night, decorating for our celebrations, and recommending (and even reserving) some of the best restaurants in Tulum, like Casa Banana. The hotel itself is perfection. We loved relaxing on the beds by the beach, where our son could safely play in the sand and nap in the shade. The guacamole and ceviche were easily some of our favorite meals of the trip. Our room’s private plunge pool was such a treat. it made it easy to enjoy some quiet time together while our son napped peacefully inside (monitored from our baby monitor). Our son also loved the playground on the beach, and the thoughtful staff made his stay even more special by surprising him with a free shirt and a piñata to remember our time there, such a sweet and personal gesture that meant so much to us as a family. Another reason we love La Zebra is how walkable everything is. There are amazing restaurants, shops, and sister properties just steps away, including Lula, where we joined a complimentary yoga class that was such a lovely bonus. We always talk about our time at La Zebra and how special it felt. Every visit gets better and better, and we truly cannot wait to return. This place will forever hold a special place in our hearts."

"Love this Hotel. I booked five rooms for 10 girls to celebrate my birthday. The hotel was perfectly located on the beach. Beds were comfortable . It is in a great walkable area. Highly recommend."

"Magnifique hôtel boutique sur la plage. Très calme. Restaurant bar fantastique. Chambres superbes avec bacons sur mer ou jardin près mer. Plage privée magnifique. Rien."

"We loved our stay at La Zebra! The rooms are chic and comfortable, the food is great (and probably the best coffee bar in Tulum right in the hotel!). The staff is absolutely incredible, so attentive and helpful, while not too intrusive when trying to relax on the beach. Special thanks to Francisco for the amazing first impression during check in, helping us get settled, and to Isaias who helped arrange a last minute scuba and snorkel tour in a nearby cenote. We were met with such kindness from the entire staff. I cannot recommend this place more and would love to come back soon! Our first night the A/C was not working well, but the next day Carlos quickly resolved the issue. The pool upstairs was pretty disappointing (not sure if it was even open) and the pool bar didn't appear to be staffed at all. Finally, during our stay the seaweed was pretty bad, which made it difficult to enjoy the beach. Although this is not within the control of the hotel, they did their best in removing as much of it as they could. Just mentioning it here for future customers to be aware of seaweed season in this part of Mexico."

"We spent 5 nights at La Zebra Tulum and loved every minute. The yoga classes were fantastic, food was delicious (loved the fresh ceviche!), and the beach was pristine. It's a bit pricey but totally worth it for the experience. Only downside was spotty WiFi, but that forced us to disconnect which was nice."

"Absolutely loved La Zebra Tulum! The vibe is relaxed and bohemian. Perfect if you're looking to unwind and disconnect. The wellness activities (yoga, meditation) were amazing. Food options were great with lots of fresh, local ingredients."
