I had a solo beach birthday trip at Kai and it was such a wonderful experience. The beach bungalow is beautiful and I booked the beach front option which was amazing. The service was great and I really enjoyed my meals at the nearby beach restaurant. Highly recommended!

Beautiful rooms, beautiful property with kind staff, especially Dennis. Gorgeous, but the hotel’s amenities i found were significantly pricier than surrounding hotels, for example a bike rentak here would by $850 mxd conpared to next door where it was $350, their restaurant was gorgeous and loved the food quality, but again significantly higher prices than neighboring spots. I loved my stay here, and loved the convenience- please beware before booking there’s a $450 mxd one time fee to enter the national park and then a daily $120 something fee, which is pretty annoying but part of thr deal for this whole area.

I love how this location is very private. It has its private entrance to the jaguar park area. You also have access to golf carts that take you around the area where you can visit the light house, the Mayan ruins and other beaches like Santa Fe. We had the ocean front villa #1. Right in front the beach and near their restaurant Bokoba. Staff was extremely friendly. The waiter Jose went above and beyond for us. He brought us breakfast to our patio a few times. Was very attentive to our needs whether we were in our room. The pool or the beach.

Very nice, clean boutique hotel. It felt very quiet—almost like we were the only guests staying there, which made for a peaceful, if somewhat slow, atmosphere. The staff was friendly and easily accessible throughout our stay. A couple of small surprises: they didn’t have a regular cappuccino or Corona beer available. That said, the food was excellent—definitely a step above the neighboring hotels. Overall, a pleasant stay with great service and quality dining. Would recommend it for my family and friends.

I Loved the cottages! They were very comfortable! We had everything we needed, and the extra items for the beach were appreciated (after-Sun lotion and bug spray)! We rented an electric bike to take to a Cenote, and back to Tulum for shopping and lunch … that was so much fun! The only thing was the beach restaurant was very expensive … BUT … the food was great! It truly was a good stay.

We love Kai Tulum. The staff is always amazing and super friendly. The suites are so perfect- it’s like your own little oceanside cottage. Location inside the National Park is ideal for safety. Only negative this trip was the amount of seaweed but that is outside the control of any hotel. We can’t wait to return in the future.

Two things stand out: 1, Romana, the yoga instructor and sound healer, is amazing. I took Yin/Tibetan sound bowls, slow flow, and abs/glutes and each session was amazing. She gives you all of herself, and her physical and spiritual approach is amazing. You do not come across people with her special energetic qualities often. On top of this, the yoga and massage hut is intimate, beautiful and magic. The other thing I loved was the rooms - comfy beds, great little decks, indoor and outdoor showers. I loved the feeling of the rooms. The food is very good too though the music can be a bit counter to the peaceful vibe. - it is nice that this resort and Ikal are right next to each other, to compliment each other.

Staying within the national park was neat, but you could not bring even a water bottle to the resort. Federal police check your car and trunk every time you travel from town to the resort. The property is beautiful and well kept but the tourist boats are everywhere on the beach in front of the hotel.

Great peaceful spot in Tulum

We loved Kai. It was a perfect option for my husband and I. I loved the privacy of the individual rooms. And it was a great spot right by the beach. It felt safe, comfortable, beautiful and peaceful/quiet. We ate in the restaurant one night of our stay and the food was good. We would definitely return to stay there again if we are back in Tulum.
