Glamp Ikal Tulum

Dit us gewoon een paradijs! Echt heerlijk geslapen in de goede bedden. Je loopt zo het strand op, prachtige locatie en ook het eten was goed. Heerlijke douches en geweldige sfeer. Echte aanrader, lekker rustig, terwijl de snorkel excursie op letterlijk 50 meter zit.

The place looks amazing. Only there are also a lot of things that could be better. To start with the positive things: + Really nice park setting + Free water in the whole park (there are plenty of watertaps) + Near/at de beach + Clean shared bathrooms + No loud music and no noice during the night + Good lightning in de night to go to bathroom Negative things or things that you should be aware of are: -/- highly overpriced drinks and food (glas of wine 16 usd and beer 7 usd for example) -/- some waiters only busy with getting tips instead of giving good an nice service -/- no breakfast included. Its available for aroud 10 usd -/- no shop at the camping or in the area for buying small food and drinks -/- park entrance not included in de price of the accommodation. More than 20 usd a person and only valit for one day. So when you leave the National park to go to Tulum center for example, you have pay again! -/- be aware that the beach front tents dont have beach view!!! Its better to book garden view. Aldo less noice from the ocean. -/- hotel cant help this, but there is alot of dirt on the beaches and in the water -/- the taxi from Tulum center to the hotel is overpriced and cost 20 usd. If you have time its better to take a small bus (collectivo)

Incredible stay at Casa Nawal for 3 nights. I wish I could have stayed another week. The place was nearly perfect: 1. Well-appointed, super-comfortable room with fan and AC. 2. Excellent cleanliness. They seemed to be cleaning the bathrooms and lodges constantly. The bathrooms, which made me anxious since they were shared, were always spotless. 3. Unforgettable location and setting right on the beach, surrounded by palm trees. It's about 15 minutes' walk from the ruins (although you can see them from the beach in front). 4. Friendly people at the front desk and restaurant. Easy to communicate with them on WhatsApp. 5. Facilities included restaurant, volleyball, bar, lounge chairs, and small pool right on the sand. Great place to watch the sunrise or sit around for sunset. (It faces east so the sun sets on the other side.) 6. Super-quiet in the evenings. Relaxing jungle sounds since it's in a reserve. 7. Lots of wellness activities with its partner hotel Ikal. I didn't participate in any but they looked interesting. The only minus is the WiFi was a bit spotty for my specific unit. Since you can hop on both the Ikal and Nawal networks, it wasn't a big problem but I sometimes had to switch networks if one was flaky. Highly recommended. I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again when I'm back in Tulum.

Excelente hotel, lugar hermoso. Instalaciones en armonía con el entorno, recomendable rentar coche o bicicleta. Buenas playas cerca, clubes de playa. Se encuentra dentro de una reserva y la reserva muy hermosa. Muy cercano a las ruinas de Tulum y la playa muy limpia.

Like most hotels in Tulum, this one embraces a spiritual and nature-centered atmosphere — which is truly beautiful. There’s a great pool, a stunning yoga and meditation center, and the surroundings are incredibly peaceful. The restaurant is on the expensive side, and service was a bit slow at times. Our cabin had A/C issues the first night, and it was uncomfortably hot — we couldn’t sleep. Thankfully, the staff moved us to a different cabin the next day, and everything went smoothly after that. The hotel is located inside a national park, and at first, I was a bit upset because we had to pay an entrance fee I wasn’t aware of. But that was totally on me. Once we explored the area, we realized the fee was actually worth it — we had access to free transportation within the park and got to enjoy beautiful landscapes and plenty of wildlife.

Glamp Ikal is the closets you can get to total immersion into the wild. By the sea you will feel the wind ear the noise mesure the storm. No frill no fancy civilised gadgets, just a cabana by the beach. Staff is outstanding. Those guys will go their best with this rustic basic environment with minimalist amenities. Ricardo and Jesus, I will remember you for your kindness and by making the stay perfect (with a bike, this is the way for your freedom).

Had an amazing time at this unique, very tranquil resort. The food and drinks are double normal prices but we found other options in town. The beach, overall vibe, and daily yoga in the stunning ocean-view shala made it all worth it. The beds were very comfortable and the shared washrooms / showers were good - lots of hot water. I rented a bike from Ikal and rode to Gran Cenote which took about 30 minutes, 20 on a modern path and 10 on road side. Not for beginners. You can walk to ruins from Ikal. Highly recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Alan was super friendly and explained everything to us, facility is amazing if you want to disconnect for a couple of days, vibes were great! Will definitely come back

I was absolutely overwhelmed with this resort. It was more than I could ever have imagined. The whole property was so clean and environmentally friendly. The vibe was so peaceful and I met so many wonderful people, staff and guests. They offer so many activities and special services (i.e. the temezcal ritual, massage, yoga, etc). The food was excellent! The location was absolutely goregous. I am already planning my trip back to Glamp Ikal next year!

More than what I expected!! Great cozy tents right by the beach. The whole property is nested in the national park and very close to nature. The beach is few steps away. Also, their wellness activities were amazing. Definitely staying here again

This "Glamp" is in the National Park which is the first of many issues. The park is now militarized and run by the government. You must purchase a bracelet to ride the electric trams in the park approx. $25 US. I couldn't get an answer on how long it was good for.Secondly , if you want to venture out to town or on an excursion you must pay a daily fee of 120 pesos or $6.50 US. to be allowed back in to the resort you paid to stay at. The Military also patrols the beach on ATV's. Taxis are expensive and the quoted price can change when you arrive at your destination. The harassment while shopping near the Ruins and exit of the park is exhausting. Sellers will chase you down. Something odd is happening at Glamp Ikal as they used to be a partner to the more luxurious Ikal Hotel adjoining the property. There were very little staff on site. It was very unclear who was actually in charge daily. There were a few grounds men . After more than 5 trips to the check in area it was hard to find anyone. Upon arrival my friend and I were just taken to our separate tents. No orientation, wifi password or how to operate the AC. Warning: there are no handrails on the platforms of the elevated tents . Some of the steps are extremely steep and the distance between them is very uneven. I sprained my foot and ankle ten minutes upon arriving trying to navigate the tent's steps( pics available) . The tent I was given reeked of mold. There are dehumidifiers but guests can't use them.

The tent i rent is old and not clean.

I want to publicly thank Camilla, Maru, and Lucy for their outstanding work and customer service. The staff here is absolutely wonderful and they really made my trip so much better. This place is very eco friendly, beautiful, unique, and the location and property are breathtaking. My room was excellent. The bed was VERY comfortable, my room was gorgeous, really awesome, and I have absolutely zero complaints. The location is spectacular. The bathrooms were very clean as was the whole property. There are a lot of hard workers there! Everything was so nice and clean and I’m a nature lover and the grounds of the property really impressed me. I felt safe, secure, well cared for, and so happy. The staff was very friendly, attentive, and absolutely pleasant. Again, a special thanks to Camilla, Maru, and Lucy. It was such a unique and beautiful visit and I highly recommend it. The only somewhat negative thing I have to say (which is not the fault of the property) is the roads leading to the property are pitch black at night. So I wouldn’t recommend arriving after dark unless you have a light source (which I didn’t have…my fault) But the property itself is nicely lit. I was so sad to leave Great vibe, great atmosphere, great service, great place. I absolutely loved it

An unforgettable, one-of-a-kind stay at GlampIKAL – easily one of the best travel experiences ever.​ From the moment of arrival everything felt spotless and well cared for, from the tents to the common areas, which made the whole place feel both luxurious and close to nature at the same time. The staff were incredibly attentive and genuinely kind, always checking in, offering help, and making sure every little detail was taken care of without ever feeling intrusive.​ Staying near the beach was a highlight: waking up to the sound of the waves, stepping out onto soft sand, and enjoying a truly beautiful, uncrowded shoreline just a few steps from the tent. The whole property has a very unique atmosphere – it feels like a small seaside community where you can disconnect, relax, and still enjoy all the comforts you need.​ The food was excellent throughout the stay, with fresh, flavorful dishes that matched the quality of the setting, and the service in the restaurant was warm and efficient. Every interaction with staff reinforced how welcoming the place is; they were always helpful with requests and local tips, which made the experience even smoother.​ Overall, this was a very special experience that feels different from a typical hotel stay in the best possible way. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a clean, beautiful, and unique beach escape in Tulum – would absolutely return and encourage others to try it for themselves.​

Limpia

My experience at Camp Ikal was superb, it is a hidden oasis with Tulum. I stayed in an oceanfront tent for a total of 8 nights & as someone who not used to glamping, it was superb. The tent is spacious with an AC unit & necessities. There are shared bathrooms & showers which were always clean & tidy-this was my biggest apprehension going in to it. It is a beautiful property & the best part was the attention from the team on-property & their hospitality. Any requests or concerns were taken care of immediately. Be prepared to not wear shoes or embrace your beachy goddess hair-totally worth not having a hair dryer. Cannot wait to return!

The grounds of the hotel smelled rotten, like poorly draining sewage. The glamping tents are completely covered in mold.

The property is on a beautiful location of Tulum Beach, we really enjoyed the Yoga Class and beautiful beach nice and clean, but the property glamping was horrible the tent was dirty and broken they upgraded us to a better tent but the AC was not working and the bed had bedbugs

Right on the beach - nothing beats that. Catch the sunrise on the beach before the tourists visiting the national park enters, and stay after sunset...For the price, the room was clean and spacious and the staff friendly and helpful. The shared bathrooms and showers are kept quite clean. Issues: wifi did not reach my room at all (but I can go by the restaurant for wifi or on the beach for 4G signal); the A/C did not work well, which was fine at night for my season (november), but don't plan on staying in during the day. You won't stay in. You'll be swimming in the sea.

Dit us gewoon een paradijs! Echt heerlijk geslapen in de goede bedden. Je loopt zo het strand op, prachtige locatie en ook het eten was goed. Heerlijke douches en geweldige sfeer. Echte aanrader, lekker rustig, terwijl de snorkel excursie op letterlijk 50 meter zit.

The tent i rent is old and not clean.

GlamIKAL is located within a natural forest preserve and has gorgeous white sand beaches. The unit I stayed in was clean and nice and very close to the beach. Housekeeping was very hit or miss and you could hear the neighbors even lightly talking so I would recommend brining headphones and an eye mask. The pros: The meditation/yoga classes they are offer were great. If you are staying at GlampIKAL you receive one 200 peso class for free. The classes range from 200 to 350 pesos. They also offer a wide range of on campus and off campus healing modalities. The best thing I did on my trip was the Healing Sound Therapy at a Private Cenote in the jungle with Diego. Couldn't recommend it enough! The cons: The restaurant at IKAL is by far the worst restaurant I've been to in my life. I waited an hour and 15 minutes for overnight oats that never came after speaking to 6 people which made me miss my meditation class on winter solstice. I stayed for 7 days and on all but one occasion I had major issues at the restaurant. Every person I talked to at GlampIKAL said the same thing and most of the issues were when there were only a few people even eating at the restaurant. The restaurant is also wildly expensive and the food is average at best. The problem is that other than Matcha Mama (which is good but has limited offerings and were frequently out of items) there isn't any other food available at the hotel which made is very difficult when meals would take 1-1.5 hours when you order

Like most hotels in Tulum, this one embraces a spiritual and nature-centered atmosphere — which is truly beautiful. There’s a great pool, a stunning yoga and meditation center, and the surroundings are incredibly peaceful. The restaurant is on the expensive side, and service was a bit slow at times.

The staff were really great. Jorge (the bellhop) was really friendly and helpful. Daniel was my driver and I highly recommend that you travel with him. I DOMT LIKE THAT THIS HOTEL DOESNT HAVE COMPLIMENTARY AIRPORT TRANSFER ESPECIALLY SINCE you got to pay for literally everything else. The food was ok. It was Chevy (not as authentic as I would like) big down side was the shared bathrooms and shower. Another downside was that the air conditioner didn’t completely cool down the tent. But overall I loved the stay and had a great time. Would definitely do it again.

The tent I was given reeked of mold. There are dehumidifiers but guests can't use them.

Overall a beautiful property by the beach and a pleasant experience which turned horrible on the day of check out when I was threatened by their security guard for using one of their carts to help carry my luggage to the reception. You need carts as there are no paved paths from the reception to your cottage or tent. I was told by the receptionist that someone from the staff would come with a cart and help with my luggage, but no one came so instead I myself got a cart and pushed it to the reception as I didn't want get late for my bus. It was hard to understand why an employee of the hotel, especially a security guard would be aggressive towards a guest for using something as simple as a cart. The food portions are small for the price you pay at the restaurant, i would consider trying some of the other options nearby. The AC wasn't much help during the peak of day.

First, they gave us terrible directions to get there and there is no visible sign at the property. We were lost for 2 hours and tried calling a few times and when we stopped somewhere with wifi and nobody answered. The power went out a couple of times the second night we were in leaving us in a hot tent with no AC or lights. I requested a reserved bed area by the beach. One was not reserved for us as they said. When I went to check out, there were several charges for tips on my bill. About $1000 pesos worth. These were added on my food bills by underlining a gratuity amount when you sign. I didn't underline any amount so I guess someone there did. The property was clean and beautiful, but the customer service was lacking a lot.

The best service, specially Luis he went far and beyond trying to assist in our request, beautiful beach views, yoga and restaurant.

Incredible stay at Casa Nawal for 3 nights. I wish I could have stayed another week. The place was nearly perfect: 1. Well-appointed, super-comfortable room with fan and AC. 2. Excellent cleanliness. They seemed to be cleaning the bathrooms and lodges constantly. The bathrooms, which made me anxious since they were shared, were always spotless. 3.

Great place to watch the sunrise or sit around for sunset. (It faces east so the sun sets on the other side.) 6. Super-quiet in the evenings. Relaxing jungle sounds since it's in a reserve. 7. Lots of wellness activities with its partner hotel Ikal. I didn't participate in any but they looked interesting. The only minus is the WiFi was a bit spotty for my specific unit. Since you can hop on both the Ikal and Nawal networks, it wasn't a big problem but I sometimes had to switch networks if one was flaky. Highly recommended. I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again when I'm back in Tulum.

Directions were confusing, roads on the phone did not match same name. You want to go down rt 15 but really no sign saying rt 15 , right at the start of tulum main strip on 307. Go down to were it makes a sharp turn to the rt. At that point there is a rd that one may think its just to the hotel depending on if you there durning day or night. That is the road you take in. Its is almost a 105 degree turn to the left. We were not able to find it first night and had people giving us all sorts of directions. Would try to get there in day light. Kindof disappers at night if you dont know what your looking for and dont know if your on the right road.

I was absolutely overwhelmed with this resort. It was more than I could ever have imagined. The whole property was so clean and environmentally friendly. The vibe was so peaceful and I met so many wonderful people, staff and guests. They offer so many activities and special services (i.e. the temezcal ritual, massage, yoga, etc). The food was excellent! The location was absolutely goregous. I am already planning my trip back to Glamp Ikal next year!

Buena experiencia, buen trato por parte del personal y buena atención. Solo añadiría que no hay un señalamiento claro para llegar, tuvimos que llamar antes para que nos avisaran por donde estaba la entrada

Right on the beach - nothing beats that. Catch the sunrise on the beach before the tourists visiting the national park enters, and stay after sunset...For the price, the room was clean and spacious and the staff friendly and helpful. The shared bathrooms and showers are kept quite clean. Issues: wifi did not reach my room at all (but I can go by the restaurant for wifi or on the beach for 4G signal); the A/C did not work well, which was fine at night for my season (november), but don't plan on staying in during the day. You won't stay in. You'll be swimming in the sea.

Todo excelente descansamos muuy bien por la noche, las instalaciones de 10 no hace falta nada el restaurante increíble y delicioso las vistas de lo mejor no se puede pedir nada más

Overall a beautiful property by the beach and a pleasant experience which turned horrible on the day of check out when I was threatened by their security guard for using one of their carts to help carry my luggage to the reception. You need carts as there are no paved paths from the reception to your cottage or tent. I was told by the receptionist that someone from the staff would come with a cart and help with my luggage, but no one came so instead I myself got a cart and pushed it to the reception as I didn't want get late for my bus. It was hard to understand why an employee of the hotel, especially a security guard would be aggressive towards a guest for using something as simple as a cart. The food portions are small for the price you pay at the restaurant, i would consider trying some of the other options nearby. The AC wasn't much help during the peak of day.

The place looks amazing. Only there are also a lot of things that could be better. To start with the positive things: + Really nice park setting + Free water in the whole park (there are plenty of watertaps) + Near/at de beach + Clean shared bathrooms + No loud music and no noice during the night + Good lightning in de night to go to bathroom Negative things or things that you should be aware of are: -/- highly overpriced drinks and food (glas of wine 16 usd and beer 7 usd for example) -/- some waiters only busy with getting tips instead of giving good an nice service -/- no breakfast included. Its available for aroud 10 usd -/- no shop at the camping or in the area for buying small food and drinks -/- park entrance not included in de price of the accommodation. More than 20 usd a person and only valit for one day. So when you leave the National park to go to Tulum center for example, you have pay again! -/- be aware that the beach front tents dont have beach view!!! Its better to book garden view. Aldo less noice from the ocean. -/- hotel cant help this, but there is alot of dirt on the beaches and in the water -/- the taxi from Tulum center to the hotel is overpriced and cost 20 usd. If you have time its better to take a small bus (collectivo)

Casa Nawal was absolute paradise! My friend and I rented a tent and a cabana and they were equally as comfortable. The cleaning service was on point each day and the staff were all really friendly and accommodating. Having a restaurant on site was extremely convenient and the food and drinks were excellent. I will definitely be back!

An unforgettable, one-of-a-kind stay at GlampIKAL – easily one of the best travel experiences ever.​ From the moment of arrival everything felt spotless and well cared for, from the tents to the common areas, which made the whole place feel both luxurious and close to nature at the same time. The staff were incredibly attentive and genuinely kind, always checking in, offering help, and making sure every little detail was taken care of without ever feeling intrusive.​ Staying near the beach was a highlight: waking up to the sound of the waves, stepping out onto soft sand, and enjoying a truly beautiful, uncrowded shoreline just a few steps from the tent. The whole property has a very unique atmosphere – it feels like a small seaside community where you can disconnect, relax, and still enjoy all the comforts you need.​ The food was excellent throughout the stay, with fresh, flavorful dishes that matched the quality of the setting, and the service in the restaurant was warm and efficient. Every interaction with staff reinforced how welcoming the place is; they were always helpful with requests and local tips, which made the experience even smoother.​ Overall, this was a very special experience that feels different from a typical hotel stay in the best possible way. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a clean, beautiful, and unique beach escape in Tulum – would absolutely return and encourage others to try it for themselves.​

GlamIKAL is located within a natural forest preserve and has gorgeous white sand beaches. The unit I stayed in was clean and nice and very close to the beach. Housekeeping was very hit or miss and you could hear the neighbors even lightly talking so I would recommend brining headphones and an eye mask. The pros: The meditation/yoga classes they are offer were great. If you are staying at GlampIKAL you receive one 200 peso class for free. The classes range from 200 to 350 pesos. They also offer a wide range of on campus and off campus healing modalities. The best thing I did on my trip was the Healing Sound Therapy at a Private Cenote in the jungle with Diego. Couldn't recommend it enough! The cons: The restaurant at IKAL is by far the worst restaurant I've been to in my life. I waited an hour and 15 minutes for overnight oats that never came after speaking to 6 people which made me miss my meditation class on winter solstice. I stayed for 7 days and on all but one occasion I had major issues at the restaurant. Every person I talked to at GlampIKAL said the same thing and most of the issues were when there were only a few people even eating at the restaurant. The restaurant is also wildly expensive and the food is average at best. The problem is that other than Matcha Mama (which is good but has limited offerings and were frequently out of items) there isn't any other food available at the hotel which made is very difficult when meals would take 1-1.5 hours when you order

Like most hotels in Tulum, this one embraces a spiritual and nature-centered atmosphere — which is truly beautiful. There’s a great pool, a stunning yoga and meditation center, and the surroundings are incredibly peaceful. The restaurant is on the expensive side, and service was a bit slow at times. Our cabin had A/C issues the first night, and it was uncomfortably hot — we couldn’t sleep. Thankfully, the staff moved us to a different cabin the next day, and everything went smoothly after that. The hotel is located inside a national park, and at first, I was a bit upset because we had to pay an entrance fee I wasn’t aware of. But that was totally on me. Once we explored the area, we realized the fee was actually worth it — we had access to free transportation within the park and got to enjoy beautiful landscapes and plenty of wildlife.

Had an amazing time at this unique, very tranquil resort. The food and drinks are double normal prices but we found other options in town. The beach, overall vibe, and daily yoga in the stunning ocean-view shala made it all worth it. The beds were very comfortable and the shared washrooms / showers were good - lots of hot water. I rented a bike from Ikal and rode to Gran Cenote which took about 30 minutes, 20 on a modern path and 10 on road side. Not for beginners. You can walk to ruins from Ikal. Highly recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ambiance parfaite, charmant et calme. J'ajouterais une mini-cuisine collective pour ajouter à l'ambiance et à la rencontre des occupants. Le restaurant est excellent, mais cher.

I was absolutely overwhelmed with this resort. It was more than I could ever have imagined. The whole property was so clean and environmentally friendly. The vibe was so peaceful and I met so many wonderful people, staff and guests. They offer so many activities and special services (i.e. the temezcal ritual, massage, yoga, etc). The food was excellent! The location was absolutely goregous. I am already planning my trip back to Glamp Ikal next year!
