LiveTulum

I love LiveTulum. The front reception folks are always helpful with recommendations for restaurants and other things. The rooms are spotless, and some have a swimming pool attached; however, you pay more for those. The area is the best! Great food everywhere you go. Prices fluctuate depending on the time of year. I think you'll love it!

Tulum Trip Recap – Quick, Quirky, and Totally Worth It||||We flew into the new Tulum airport and wow—what a beautiful and smooth experience! It was fast, organized, and honestly a dream compared to Cancun airport. Reality check, though: there’s no cheap way into Tulum Centro from the airport. It’s about a 40-minute drive, and you're looking at $100–$150 USD for a taxi or private transfer. There’s an ADO bus option for around $30 per person, but we opted for convenience this time.||||Now, onto the hotel: we stayed at Live Tulum, which I couldn’t find a ton of info on beforehand, but at just $67 CAD per night for a Royal Swim Out room, we took a chance—and I’m glad we did! We weren’t in town for beach time, just two nights in Tulum Centro to explore and unwind.||||The location was perfect—super walkable. We hit up Super Akí for the essentials: limes, vodka, and Soda (priorities!). Then it was back to the room and straight into the pool. The temperature was perfect and it felt super private, though we still got to chat with a few fellow guests.||||The room itself was surprisingly big! A full kitchen, living space, and a comfy bedroom area. It had a cute, artsy vibe and felt homey. That said, it could’ve used a little extra cleaning love. Nothing nasty—just small things like some dust and a few dead bugs in the light fixtures. Same with the pool—totally usable, but maybe not getting daily spa treatment. All in all, for the price and location, Live Tulum was a great little find. A few quirks here and there, but it definitely added some charm to the trip.

This is a really lovely small hotel, only minutes from downtown Tulum’s main strip & a huge Chedraui supermarket which came in handy. The rooms are very aesthetically pleasing, & we found it super cosy too. The staff are friendly & willing to answer any questions. The hotel itself could use some maintenance, especially around the pool area which was pretty dirty & covered in moss on the poolside. Furthermore, the curtains in our room were covered in mould, so they definitely need replacing. There is a bath, but no tap to fill the bath with, only a shower which takes forever & isn’t very hot. It would be nice to have more than 3 tea bags provided, especially when there are 2 people staying in the room. Other than this, we would definitely stay again.

I loved this place! Would I stay again? Definitely, yes! Price for the week was great. Ezekiel is super nice and friendly. Location is good. However, I read in a previous comment they have bike rentals in the property, but they do not. They do have bike rentals in the corner on both sides tho.

We loved the layout of the rooms. We had a full kitchen with lots of cabinets a counter and a breakfast nook for 4. Also included was an up-to-date bathroom with room, a large living room with a comfy large couch and a TV on wall with remotes. Then a beautiful bedroom with lots of storage and drawers. Right off the bedroom were sliders to a swimming pool! Bedroom to swimming pool was amazing! The pool water was warm but not bathwater warm. Really chill place and quiet.

This hotel feels like an antique, something you'd see in a movie from the early 60's, the fixturing could use some updating, and the hot water was somehow blending into the cold water while the traps were unused, but otherwise the place was a gem. The staff was great, very friendly and helpful without the feel of fleecing. There was a full kitchen, and dining area, plenty of space, and the AC was amazing, i didn't turn itself off at night while you were motionless sleeping, so nights were very restful and peaceful. The purpose of a hotel is to sleep after all, and that was great. The only real improvements that I'd recommend is to add more parking spaces, and get a softer mattress (though some may prefer the harder ones anyway). The pool area is nice, but the new construction next door dominates and spoils the view, too bad. Still worthwhile though, for the great sleep.

One of the best hotels I have ever stayed. I was travelling with my 9 year old daughter and felt safe all the time. It’s in a very quiet neighbourhood. We found our ground floor apartment super clean, Mary was a brilliant maid. Also all the staff from reception were friendly and nice. It’s not far from the bus station, there’s a big supermarket close as well. Beds are comfortable! The ground floor apartment has a direct access to the swimming pool: amazing! Well done LiveTulum team 👏🏼 Book it! You’ll enjoy ☺️

Beautiful hotel, friendly staff. Very clean, good wifi and AC, charming decor. There is construction next door but it didn't bother us too much as they weren't using any heavy machinery. Pool is nice and not too busy, hotel is close to a lot of bars and restaurants. Would come here again!
