What guests think
At Una Vida, reviewers consistently praise the serene jungle setting, stylish spacious rooms, and especially the warm, attentive staff, while noting trade-offs like a more secluded location and intentionally minimalist in-room amenities.
Many highlight the beautiful pools and gardens, daily housekeeping that keeps rooms very clean, and useful access to sister properties like Bardo and Milam for extra pools, classes, and dining. Common drawbacks include pricey on-site dining, strict or slow check-in with sizable card holds, and sporadic issues such as hard mattresses, weak Wi-Fi, bugs, road or construction noise, and hot-water or plumbing problems. Overall, expect a tranquil boutique stay focused on relaxation rather than resort-style frills.

Wonderful hidden gem. Very well designed for privacy for the rooms. Stayed in second floor suite and it was spacious, beautifully decorated and private. Guido the concierge was exceptional. Very friendly, well spoken and thoughtful, taking care of every last detail perfectly. The bartender from Veracruz in Bardo created a warm, friendly environment that made you want to stay for another drink. I had an amazing Reiki session and also participated in the Temezcal, which is not for the faint of heart. Great stay! Would return and recommend.

Staff were amazing, so attentive and helped to book a few trips which turned out to be highlights of our holiday. The room was spotless and throughly cleaned every day, couldn’t fault it. It was a 20 min walk from centre but we didn’t mind that, as it felt like a quiet oasis away from the noise. Having access to Bardo and Milam pools was an added bonus as both had better pools and food than Una Vida (but Una Vida is half the price!) - would 100% recommend to anyone.

We are so pleased we listened to the reviews for this property and decided to book here last minute. We were so happy with our 4-night stay at Una Vida. The staff are super friendly and helpful, the room was impressive for the price (especially compared to similarly priced but far less attractive hotels in the area), the room amenities and cleanliness were faultless, the location was brilliant as we felt super secluded and safe with easy walking proximity to Tulum's main centre. The photos are accurate as well, which is a massive bonus compared to other places in the area! Something we read in reviews was the added benefit of access to the Bardo and Milam sister hotels. Bardo is next door and essentially offers a second gorgeous eating, swimming and relaxing space whilst staying at Una Vida. We visited Milam too, which was a bit further away but was definitely worth checking out. The food there was really good, and the pool would be excellent on a sunnier day (we visited when it was raining heavily, so didn't bother with swimming in the pool). The staff at all 3 locations are helpful and very friendly, making you feel welcome and cared for in all spaces, even if you're not staying there specifically. All in all, I would say anyone who prefers some quiet, feeling connected to the lush jungle atmosphere and enjoys a touch of affordable bohemian luxury, this place is definitely for you!

We LOVED our stay at Una Vida. What a wonderful hotel to stay in the town of Tulum. Not far from a lot in town. Free rental bikes. Access to the neighbor hotel and their facilities. Free yoga. Restaurant was great. Beautiful pool and decor. Very helpful staff. Can’t say enough!

Con- Stayed on the property for 1 week and never had hot water for showering. It being a tropical warm area it was manageable but not alway the most comfortable. Brought it up to service desk but couldn’t get a good answer or a fix to the issue. Pro- staff was very accommodating for food, drinks and safe travel. Atmosphere was very peaceful and pleasant. Inside the property was absolutely gorgeous and safe.

Beautiful serene oasis with kind, friendly and helpful staff. Guadalupe and Shiomara were just great and assisted us with sites to see in the area, restaurants and currency exchange sites. We liked the Ananda restaurant as well and access to the sister Hotel Bardo and the yoga and Qi Gong classes was much appreciated. Our couples massage and complimentary wine after was just what we needed to finish our stay. Absolutely wonderful place and experience!

For the most part a beautiful place, with an inviting warm pool and beautiful outdoor lighting at night. The ability to use the adjoing Bardo Hotel pool and restaurant was a plus. Our room was spacious and beautifully furnished. Biggest downside was the plumbing. Any toilet flush in our or adjoining units caused a loud, prolonged, and startling gurgling in the sink of our kitchenette. Staff seemed unconcerned. There were unwelcome bugs on the floor of the room. Also, the hotel is not within safe walking distance of central Tulum. It is about 100 meters off of a very busy road, which can be heard throughout the complex. That 100 meters involves a very potholed gravel track. Finally, our arrival was delayed by a day and, despite our notifying the hotel in advance, it charged us the full price for the unoccupied night. They had the right to do that, but a discount or a free breakfast would have been a nice gesture.

My recent stay at in Una in Vida in Tulum left me utterly mesmerized and longing for more time there I can’t resist, sharing my incredible experience at this paradise on earth! from the moment we arrived, we were greeted with the warmest smiles, and impeccable level of service that I’ve never encountered anywhere else. The staff at Una Vida is nothing short of exceptional, making us feel like royalty from the get-go. our villa was flawlessly, decorated setting the stage for a truly magical get away, but what truly stood out, was their dedication to making our stay unforgettable they went above and beyond in every possible way. Our villa was a sanctuary of luxury, posting a private pool, and an outdoor bath and shower that were simply divine. The attention to detail in the design and furnishing of the Villa was astounding. The space was not only elegantly decorated, but remarkably clean and spacious, ensuring our comfort and relaxation throughout our stay in Una Vida went the extra mile by arranging a private chef for us the chef perfect prepared a scrumptious breakfast, right in our villa. Dining poolside with the jungle as our backdrop made every meal feel like a magical experience. Una Vida in Tulum is a hidden gem that exceeded all my expectations. This old enchanting oasis is a testament to luxury and hospitality at its finest. Can’t wait to return for another in chanting. Stay in paradise thank you. Everyone at Una Vida !!

Checkin took way too long. The room was really nice. There were ants the whole time on the counter where the safe is located. The mosquitoes will eat you alive so bring bug spray. The staff is extremely helpful and nice. The bed has no box spring so the bed gets painful the longer the stay.

We had a fantastic stay at Una Vida! The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The atmosphere and decor were beautifully done, creating a warm and inviting ambiance. Our room was spacious and spotless, providing a comfortable retreat after a day of exploring. Additionally, the location was excellent, with plenty of great restaurants within walking distance. The only minor downside was that the bed was a bit stiff for our liking, but overall, it didn’t take away from our wonderful experience. We would definitely stay here again!

I recently spent 5 nights at Una Vida and it was truly a unique and refreshing experience. This is not your typical resort-style stay—it’s a small, boutique hotel intentionally designed for you to disconnect from the outside world. There are no microwaves, refrigerators, phones, or televisions in the rooms, which at first feels unusual, but quickly becomes part of the charm. The focus is on slowing down and being present. WiFi is available via a QR code provided at check-in, which worked well when I needed it. The staff are exceptionally friendly, attentive, and English-speaking, which made communication seamless. They go above and beyond with small but thoughtful touches—helping with luggage to and from your room, arranging transportation, and offering great recommendations on local activities. Daily housekeeping kept the room clean and comfortable, and I really appreciated the peaceful environment throughout the property. It’s the kind of place where you wake up surrounded by nature and can truly unwind without distractions. If you’re looking for a luxury, all-inclusive feel, this may not be the hotel for you. But if your goal is rest, reconnection, and an authentic Tulum experience, Una Vida is perfect. I left feeling refreshed, cared for, and deeply appreciative of the slower pace it encouraged.

Una Vida is a beautiful bohemian themed boutique hotel. Their staff was friendly and helpful with each encounter. The food and drinks at the hotel and the Hotel Bardo were tasty. We stayed in the 3 bedroom villa. It was amazing! My BFF enjoyed the privacy of our own pool. My personal favorite was the outdoor shower. I travel alot and have very high expectations. Una Vida exceeded them all.

We had a fantastic stay at Una Vida! The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The atmosphere and decor were beautifully done, creating a warm and inviting ambiance. Our room was spacious and spotless, providing a comfortable retreat after a day of exploring. Additionally, the location was excellent, with plenty of great restaurants within walking distance. The only minor downside was that the bed was a bit stiff for our liking, but overall, it didn’t take away from our wonderful experience. We would definitely stay here again!

I think the property was beautiful, although when we showed up the first thing I noticed was the flower decor around the pool was dead and dead leaves in the foliage gardens- they just had a hurricane and storms so that’s totally fine. The next day there was a florist there changing out the flowers. The road leading up to the hotel is riddle with HUGE pot holes, that sucks. It’s just not nice idk, and we rented a car so we had to be super careful. The room was really cold and nice but the bathroom was essentially outdoors, it wasn’t enclosed so it was super humid and you had the keep the bathroom door closed to keep the humidity out and cold air in the room. The wifi kept constantly dropping out, it’s kind of a big deal because there wasn’t a tv so at night we were streaming movies and at a point just had to go to bed and turn it off. The worst part about the hotel is DIRECTLY next to a construction site. 3 of the 4 days of our stay we were woken up but insane banging from the construction, it was non stop. We just had to hurry and leave for the day in the mornings because I could not take it. And with that, there’s no enjoying the property amenities because of the noise. They provided us with ear plugs… I get it’s beyond their control but had we known I would never have booked Una Vida. I have no clue when the construction will be done but if you’re thinking about it I would not book this hotel anytime soon.

(+) Amazing bohemian design. The room was very spacious with a private terrace and a lovely bath outside with “jungle” views. The hotel is sustainable which is a big plus for me. I saw also a lot of cute bats hanging in the trees of the garden which was a first for me :) (-): very noisy fridge that we had to switch. off at night. Also our room was close to the road so we could hear cars passing every other minute. The hotel provides earplugs but it was not enough.

This hotel is absolutely amazing, the property is stunning, everywhere you turned was nice to look at. Our room had a beauty private plunge pool and the main pool was even better. The staff was very friendly and helpful, the property was clean at all times. I would definitely come back here and I recommend it for anyone that loves a nature type of vibe. 10/10

Our family of three—two adults and one teenager—stayed in the one-bedroom suite, and it was absolutely perfect. From the moment we arrived, it felt like stepping into an oasis of tranquility. The atmosphere was peaceful and calming, setting the tone for a truly relaxing getaway. Every aspect of our stay exceeded expectations—the beautifully designed rooms, the serene pool area, the exceptional dining, and the attentive, friendly staff all contributed to an unforgettable experience. We spent a full week here and loved every moment. Having a car was a great advantage (which I highly recommend for Tulum), as the location was conveniently close to everything we wanted to explore. Without hesitation, we would stay here again and highly recommend it to others seeking a perfect Tulum escape.

The location is convenient. There’s a local food court area close and it was great. I really didn’t feel welcomed during my stay. The check in procedures and policies were overwhelming. The daily security deposit instead of a flat rate is a lot and having to sign your name exactly like your passport definitely threw me off. Beside that nice place.

Checkin took way too long. The room was really nice. There were ants the whole time on the counter where the safe is located. The mosquitoes will eat you alive so bring bug spray. The staff is extremely helpful and nice. The bed has no box spring so the bed gets painful the longer the stay.

Staff were amazing, so attentive and helped to book a few trips which turned out to be highlights of our holiday. The room was spotless and throughly cleaned every day, couldn’t fault it. It was a 20 min walk from centre but we didn’t mind that, as it felt like a quiet oasis away from the noise. Having access to Bardo and Milam pools was an added bonus as both had better pools and food than Una Vida (but Una Vida is half the price!) - would 100% recommend to anyone.

Una Vida is a veeeery cute and cozy place that gives a very special vibe the moment you step foot on property. The atmosphere is very welcoming, spiritual and magical. The design is very thoughtful and beautiful. The property is conveniently located next to the main street to all the amazing restaurants and also close to a road that takes you straight to cenotes, and other amazing must see places. The staff is absolutely incredible. Absolutely everyone I was in contact with was super nice, helpful and was just vibing amazing, pure energy. Guido, the concierge, who is incredibly cute :) was very knowledgeable and helpful with everything I needed assistance with. He was very resourceful and easily approachable. Daniela was also very accommodating and nice. Juan, amazing guy :) so accommodating, helpful, kind, big warm heart :))) Overall, wonderful experience, absolutely must stay boutique if you want to be surrounded by amazing vibes and people!!!

I recently spent 5 nights at Una Vida and it was truly a unique and refreshing experience. This is not your typical resort-style stay—it’s a small, boutique hotel intentionally designed for you to disconnect from the outside world. There are no microwaves, refrigerators, phones, or televisions in the rooms, which at first feels unusual, but quickly becomes part of the charm. The focus is on slowing down and being present. WiFi is available via a QR code provided at check-in, which worked well when I needed it. The staff are exceptionally friendly, attentive, and English-speaking, which made communication seamless. They go above and beyond with small but thoughtful touches—helping with luggage to and from your room, arranging transportation, and offering great recommendations on local activities. Daily housekeeping kept the room clean and comfortable, and I really appreciated the peaceful environment throughout the property. It’s the kind of place where you wake up surrounded by nature and can truly unwind without distractions. If you’re looking for a luxury, all-inclusive feel, this may not be the hotel for you. But if your goal is rest, reconnection, and an authentic Tulum experience, Una Vida is perfect. I left feeling refreshed, cared for, and deeply appreciative of the slower pace it encouraged.

Beautiful serene oasis with kind, friendly and helpful staff. Guadalupe and Shiomara were just great and assisted us with sites to see in the area, restaurants and currency exchange sites. We liked the Ananda restaurant as well and access to the sister Hotel Bardo and the yoga and Qi Gong classes was much appreciated. Our couples massage and complimentary wine after was just what we needed to finish our stay. Absolutely wonderful place and experience!

I had a great stay here! My concierge Daniela and Guido did everything they can to make sure my stay is enjoyable. They helped me with renting car, booking airport shuttle and ordering food from restaurant. I really appreciate their wonderful services. And I also enjoyed the amenities especially the pool on the Bardo side. Wish I could spend more time here.

Location
Set in a quiet, secluded area with 15–20 minute walks to parts of town, which many enjoy for the oasis feel. Others found the edge-of-town location less convenient or noisy near the road, with pricey taxis to the beach and some streets feeling unsafe to walk.

For the most part a beautiful place, with an inviting warm pool and beautiful outdoor lighting at night. The ability to use the adjoing Bardo Hotel pool and restaurant was a plus. Our room was spacious and beautifully furnished. Biggest downside was the plumbing. Any toilet flush in our or adjoining units caused a loud, prolonged, and startling gurgling in the sink of our kitchenette. Staff seemed unconcerned. There were unwelcome bugs on the floor of the room. Also, the hotel is not within safe walking distance of central Tulum. It is about 100 meters off of a very busy road, which can be heard throughout the complex. That 100 meters involves a very potholed gravel track. Finally, our arrival was delayed by a day and, despite our notifying the hotel in advance, it charged us the full price for the unoccupied night. They had the right to do that, but a discount or a free breakfast would have been a nice gesture.

We are so pleased we listened to the reviews for this property and decided to book here last minute. We were so happy with our 4-night stay at Una Vida. The staff are super friendly and helpful, the room was impressive for the price (especially compared to similarly priced but far less attractive hotels in the area), the room amenities and cleanliness were faultless, the location was brilliant as we felt super secluded and safe with easy walking proximity to Tulum's main centre. The photos are accurate as well, which is a massive bonus compared to other places in the area! Something we read in reviews was the added benefit of access to the Bardo and Milam sister hotels. Bardo is next door and essentially offers a second gorgeous eating, swimming and relaxing space whilst staying at Una Vida. We visited Milam too, which was a bit further away but was definitely worth checking out. The food there was really good, and the pool would be excellent on a sunnier day (we visited when it was raining heavily, so didn't bother with swimming in the pool). The staff at all 3 locations are helpful and very friendly, making you feel welcome and cared for in all spaces, even if you're not staying there specifically. All in all, I would say anyone who prefers some quiet, feeling connected to the lush jungle atmosphere and enjoys a touch of affordable bohemian luxury, this place is definitely for you!

Very chill vibes here at this secluded, small boutique hotel. It's connected to an adjacent property (Bardo) if you're looking to change up the scenes bit. Close to a few decent spots for nightlife, but not much within walking distance - would recommend a bike, moped or cab. Concierge was top notch; Harry and Leo will get you what you need.

Beautiful hotel and nice to have access to another hotel too with a pool table to play in the evenings. It was nice and quiet and private. Staff were mostly helpful but we did ask for their help with securing bikes and the first woman said there are none left so we’ll have to go elsewhere and then a second woman helped us get some - however they firstly wanted an extortionate amount of money (can’t remember exactly how much now) so we said no we’ll get them in town and then she came back offering them for less. Quite odd because usually in hotels they’re trying to help you not get scammed. Anyway the bikes got delivered and they were falling apart so definitely not worth the money. Also put a £320 holding charge on my card which seems a lot for only 4 nights and it took until I was back home for it to come back on my card which was annoying. Location was not the best - it was easy enough to walk to town but walking down some of the streets to get there didn’t feel very safe.

This hotel has great service with the jungle feel. Food and drinks were pricey but decent. As beautiful as the atmosphere is the location is close to a highway which was noisy and kills the vibe to an extent. Security is a bit of a concern as the room locks are merely that of a bathroom door. We enjoyed that it is a smaller hotel and it felt like a home away from home with a quick walking distance to downtown.

The property was beautiful and serene. Direct contrast to the hotel zone of Tulúm. However if you want to visit the beach area for the restaurants and night life, taxis are $40 USD one way so know that in advance. Most of our money was spent on taxis traveling back and forth. However if you plan to travel off the resort minimally this location is perfect. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Our bed was extremely hard the first night. We reported it to the concierge and the next day they added a pillow top quilt which greatly improved the comfort. My one negative about the resort was they charged me for a towel secondary to a minor blood stain which I thought was unreasonable. After voicing my concern they charged me $10 instead of $20 which I was annoyed by. Nonetheless beautiful property that I would return to for a serene getaway.

Excellent property which is slightly let down by its location on the edge of Tulum. There is very little in the way of amenities near to the hotel. However, if you accept that this means you will use the hotel’s restaurant/dining, it is extremely expensive - on a par with London prices. No Expedia VIP incentives were offered.

The rooms are large for a long stay with kitchen equipment and living room and outdoor space. The pool and room service is an additional advantage and the hotel staff are excellent at their work. I have no doubt I’ll be back again soon. Thanks Una Vida for a pleasant and enjoyable holiday. Your concierge service was amazing too!

Una Vida is a beautiful bohemian themed boutique hotel. Their staff was friendly and helpful with each encounter. The food and drinks at the hotel and the Hotel Bardo were tasty. We stayed in the 3 bedroom villa. It was amazing! My BFF enjoyed the privacy of our own pool. My personal favorite was the outdoor shower. I travel alot and have very high expectations. Una Vida exceeded them all.

This is one of the most relaxing, beautiful, peaceful trips I’ve ever been on. This property is so gorgeous - the smells, the sounds, the food - everything was so amazing. I cannot wait to come back!! Everyone there was so helpful and kind, they are able to get a taxi quickly for you and more. Tulum changed me, and I have Una Vida to thank for that. Tip: do the sound therapy session!!! It just completed my stay and really did some good for my soul. I can’t say enough wonderful things about this place and my experience here.

Checkin took way too long. The room was really nice. There were ants the whole time on the counter where the safe is located. The mosquitoes will eat you alive so bring bug spray. The safe is extremely helpful and nice. The food is really good BUT very expensive. The bed has no box spring so the bed gets painful the longer the stay.

Excellent property which is slightly let down by its location on the edge of Tulum. There is very little in the way of amenities near to the hotel. However, if you accept that this means you will use the hotel’s restaurant/dining, it is extremely expensive - on a par with London prices. No Expedia VIP incentives were offered.

Staff were amazing, pool was great, the room was really cute. AC and the ceiling fan combo were great after spending time outdoor in the sun. We did have issue with AC dripping water but when I told the concierge Enrique, he took care of it right away and we had no issue afterwards. However the breakfast was too salty we skipped the other day even when it was included in our bill. (I would only recommend the pancakes!) The water pressure was really bad it was just dripping. It was little annoying but with the service we’ve gotten from the staff, this is tolerable.

The perfect spot for a relaxing getaway! The entire staff was super friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed having access to Bardo’s amenities. 10/10 for everything.

There are bugs in the room. The pool water is dirty, and there is a lack of consideration for guests; it seems the hotel is only focused on making money. It is not worth the price. I recommend not going.
