    My husband and I are not all-inclusive people. I'll just say that. We prefer to explore and try local. But, my husband killed it last year at work and earned us a free trip. I travel for work and am a Diamond by nights, so we decided to take the plunge. We've only been to one other all inclusive and vowed never to do one again, BUT, this Hilton changed our minds. I'll start with the cons: 1. We barely used the golf carts. We were lucky to be in Casa 3 so right in the middle and easy to walk to any end, but I would be frustrated if I was in Casa 5/6. They just don't come around that often it feels like, it's quicker to walk than it is to wait, which is disappointing. 2. Getting reservations. All the dinner spots are reservation only and they take them for the week starting on Saturday...so if you get in later that Saturday at 3pm, good luck getting a dinner before 9PM at the best spots. They should really only do reservations a day or two out and only allow you to reserve at each restaurant once because there were families who took reservations every night at the best places. 3. The beach wasn't great TBH. Very rocky and lots of waves. Probably want to stay closer to Playa if you want a better beach. 4. We wanted to stay here to enjoy Tulum....but it was $100 round trip just to get into the city. A huge bummer. We didn't even end up going. Should have just stayed in Playa. The Pros: 1. We thought the food was fantastic. Of course some was better than others - everyone raves on about the steak house but honestly the Mexican chop house was the best meal we had all week. 2. The lobby bar has the best bartenders and makes the best drinks. And these aren't watered down like other resorts. 3. We loved the 24/7 cafe for late night snacks. Great coffee too. 4. The pools were fantastic. The pool outside Cass 3 where we were was pretty quiet and such a great end to every day. 5. As a diamond we got upgraded from nature view to a king suite. Views on both sides. It was fantastic and gorgeous. 6. Clean rooms every day, great service the whole week. They're a newer resort and definitely working out some kinks. Could we have enjoyed the vacation elsewhere? Yes. But our experience here was fantastic - we just had some callouts that I know other people would complain about. We would definitely be back, especially once Tulum opens up some more and it becomes cheaper to go into the city.

    Overall a remarkable resort. After a hour and a half ride from the airport I was welcomed with a drink in hand as I checked in and the view of the ocean from the lobby was outright stunning. The resort is huge so there is a tram system that picks you up from your building to take you to the other parts of the property. With 8 pools and 13 restaurants I was quite appreciative of this service. The restaurants are all different and each one its own specialty. My favorites were the steakhouse and the Japanese restaurants and I was a regular at the coffee/gelato cafe. Service was excellent from every venue. Even though the pool service was slow on a busy Saturday because of how many people were there, my waitress kept apologizing for the wait. She probably could have used a few more staff members to keep up, but it really wasn't a far walk to the pool bar from either pool for me to just get it myself. Just remember you are there to relax and not get stressed over how long it takes to get a drink or a bite to eat at the pool. The room was quite nice with 12 foot ceilings, walk in shower and a private (smoked glass door) toilet. The mini fridge was stocked every day with water, sodas, beers, juices and snacks. The ocean view was spectacular waking up to every morning. I would definitely recommend this resort as a place to get away from everything and I mean everything. It's a good distance from Cancun and about a 15 minute taxi to downtown Tulum. But with all of the amenities available on the property you really don't have to leave for any reason if you don't want to.

    Had an amazing time here celebrating our close friends' wedding. This property is beautiful. There are many restaurants, bar's, pools and longe areas for you to explore and consistently stay entertained. The drinks are solid. Not like many all inclusive resorts we've experienced where you're desiring more. There are many bartenders on this property that make each drink with care to provide quality. The food was great at many of the restaurants and okay at some. We were not disappointed. The service here is top notch. I'll be back. No question about that.

    Stayed with my family Dec 24-29, 2023. I used points for this stay. To get the 5th night free Hilton points promotions I booked a nature view room. As a Diamond member I got upgraded to an Ocean View Room. Given the fact it was Christmas/New Year's no additional upgrades were available. This was my 5th time at an all-inclusive and I would rate this resort as a good to very good. Having 9 pools (2 exclusive for Enclave and 7 for everyone else) was nice. If you didn't want to hear the music or activities at the main pool there were lots of quiet pools spread out through the resort. At 10 am each day we could usually find 2 if not 3 open lounge chairs under an umbrella - rare for a resort. The beach is not large and it's pretty rocky. It's large enough for probably 75 loungers and a volleyball court. The second beach near Casa 2 and 3 has maybe 40-60 chairs and it's extremely rocky as you enter the water. Good was pretty good. Our favorite restaurants were Auma (steak) and La Luce (Italian). Noriku (Japanese) and Maxal (Chop House) were good. The Fiesta by the Sea (outdoor grill) was disappointing and the music made it hard to have a conversation at the table. Check-in was quick and easy. Luggage transfer to the room was pretty easy. Three negatives: 1. Shuttles between buildings were full at peak hours. It's a 10 minute walk from Casa 5 to the main building - not bad but you need to plan for it. 2. Luggage transfer to pick up bags was a no show - not fun to drag them back. 3. Breakfast and lunch buffets were very similar each day. The resort had shows each night and if you've stayed at resorts in Mexico you've probably seen them. If not the Michael Jackson show is a family favorite. The big miss is there is no auditorium - shows are either on the outdoor stage (limited seating) or in the lobby (minimal standing room). Overall Hilton Tulum is a good choice for families, Spector you're seeking a quieter location away from the tourist areas. While not my top choice it's still a very good option to consider. Overall we had a good stay. While I do have a resort that M

    Pros: -Service was great 5/5! -We got an enclave room, which put us in casa 1 so we were close to the lobby, restaurants, bar, and enclave lounge. -Drinks were strong. Our bartender Paulino was great! -Room service came quick when we needed our fridge restocked. -Our room was nice and clean. Our view was partial ocean view. Cons: -The food was not good. Our first night we had reservations at the Mediterranean restaurant, which was one of the better restaurants in my opinion. It was disappointing having a good meal the first night & then the rest were terrible. I hardly ate throughout my 5 nights stay. I was excited to try the Japanese restaurant, as I seen it had good reviews. I was disappointed and the only good thing was the sake which we had to pay for. We ordered room service twice. Breakfast was decent. Lunch was not good. We had the buffet once but it was terrible. -The restaurant/bar between casa 1 and casa 2 closed at 6pm. The pool closed at 8pm, so it sucked not being able to drink there any longer. Overall, I would not go back because of the food. Everything was great besides that.. Our last couple nights we couldn't wait to get back home just to eat a good meal.

    Beautiful Hotel over looking the beach. All the staff were great check in and check out was flawless. This is an all inclusive resort with 24 room service and a few restaurants on site along with bars and coffee shops to chose from. There are drinks from the lobby, the bar, each pool side with bar. I think it was like 4 pools that had cabanas (not included) but chairs and towels available. The rooms were cleaned and fridge in room restocked everyday. I have ONE complaint......all that food available and it sucked. The food presentation was beautiful but the taste was nasty. I'm sorry! I ate hamburgers for four days! I was so hungry when I made it home.

    Stayed here for a weekend. The lobby view is beautiful and the rooms are nice. I had an oceanfront view with a balcony overlooking a pool. 3rd floor Casa 2. The view was nice except for the seaweed in the water. The property is huge but there wasn't much activity like other resorts. It's nice if you're looking for a more relaxed atmosphere instead of a party. I did not enjoy most of the restaurant food. The burgers and boneless chicken were pretty good. Also the ice cream/coffee shop. For breakfast stick to the one inside the main building. Overall I think the room was a bit pricey for the food, beach, and activities offered. We visited a beach off the property and it wasn't much better. Very rocky. Transportation is very expensive as well. Overall, the Tulum area was expensive. I probably wouldn't return.

    September 2023 - Birthday Trip. First, let me say that this is the most peaceful resort I've visited. It is aesthetically pleasing, and the staff is friendly. Upon arrival, you are given a nice washcloth with a beautiful aroma and a mezcal welcome drink. Delicious. Our room was ready when we arrived, and one of the drivers/hotel porters took us on a cart. He let us know about all the locations on the property and told us to contact the front desk/concierge if we needed anything. Concierge: The concierge suggested reservations at each restaurant. We allowed him to choose our dates and restaurants according to their open days. Room: The room was clean and up to our standards. They are an open concept with a small partition/ closet, bar area, and countertop to separate the two. The restroom has a glazed door, as well as a shower area. I like the concept because you can still use the restroom if someone is in the shower. Housekeeping: We returned to a clean room once we left the room. This was never an issue. We always had clean towels and the proper necessities. Restaurants: The food could have been better, and I could send it back when I was unhappy with a dish. The chef always came out to see how they could improve the dish. The experience made me happy because I've never had this happen before. Breakfast was either in the main building or between buildings 5 and 6. Several customers mentioned they never knew what days there would be breakfast at either restaurant, but times are listed at each restaurant, and we checked with the concierge to be on the safe side. During breakfast, I always went with an omelet and informed the cook how to season my items. It turned out good every time. Lunch: It was a pleasant experience; I enjoyed the food at Sea Salt and the main pool bar the best. Dinner: Each restaurant has its unique taste, and we enjoyed the best food at the steak restaurant and Italian restaurant. The Italian restaurant had a delicious pizza with truffle sauce, and the steak restaurant had a good shrimp dish. Bars: The best drinks are at Sea Salt, the main pool, and the lobby bar. Hands down, the main lobby bar was phenomenal. The bartenders were amazing and catered to our every need. They made sure I enjoyed my birthday!!!! Staff: All of our servers were attentive and catered to all of our needs. I don't have any complaints in this area. The server topped off our drinks and refreshed our beverages without asking at times. Complaints: The power went out a few times in the six days we spent at the resort without an explanation or compensation. Café: Amazing staff and good coffee. I had one drink that was not good, and the barista asked me what could make it better. The staff listened, and the drink was perfect when remade. Recommendation: if you get a chai tea, have the staff make it with the syrup versus the powder (HUGE difference). Activities: We missed most of the activities, but water aerobics is fun; the night concerts were entertaining, and I was encouraged by the performers to dance on stage, and I did (lol) tons of fun. Gym: The gym is kept clean with fresh towels and water bottles. Commute: The time it takes to get from the main building to the last building on the property is an estimated 15-minute walk. There were several complaints regarding the shuttle. The shuttle runs slower in the evening, but if you have someone to walk with, you can get to your building in no time. The travel time from the airport to the hotel runs 60 - 90 minutes. Overall, I would revisit this resort.

    We stayed at Hilton Tulum Riviera Maya for two days during our Cancun trip and enjoyed our visit. The resort is large and spread out for about 1/2 a mile. If you stay in casa 5 or 6 like we did you'll want to make use of their tram which runs every 5 minutes or so getting to and from the main restaurants and lobby is pretty convenient. The food and drinks here are delicious and good quality for an all inclusive and there are other eating options which are quite good if you're not in the mood for one of their restaurants which generally require a reservation. Near the kids club and kids pool area which is close to casa 6 there are eating options such as a pool car and buffet as well as a taco truck which runs during the day and churros and ice cream stand called Churreria which is great for a snack, treat, or drink. This is a great resort if you have children. The kids club is we'll run and organized. The staff care for the kids well and keep them engaged with activities and a fun and safe place for them to play. If you have teens the teen zone is a great place for them to hang out and play games such as pool table, board games, darts, fooze ball, air hockey, and of course video games. All in all we enjoyed our 2 day stay at Hilton Tulum and recommend them highly if you have children. If you are just with a significant other, maybe Conrad next door may better suit your needs. 5 stars!

    Breakfast buffet has all my favorites

    It's 90 minutes from the Cancun airport but it's a straight drive and very safe plus you only have to make the trip arriving and departing. The resort is big you need to take golf cart shuttles that run every 5 minutes. The view is beautiful and they have a few nice beaches. The resort is laid back and relaxing it's not a party place but the drinks are free so there are some pool parties. The food was 5 Star always fresh and plentiful with lots of seafood. Service was 5 Star everyone was nice and helpful. I'll be back 5 Stars

    This was my first and last time staying at an all-inclusive resort. If you are into subpar food and even worse service, this is your place. Pros: -Next door to the Conrad hotel (next time I'll book there) -20-minute drive to downtown Tulum -Shuttles that take you from your casa to the lobby and/or to the Conrad hotel. These are pretty frequent and convenient Cons: -Food is basic. I ate here once and the food is of hospital cafeteria quality. We ate all of our meals away from the property. -Everything is slow! And I mean everything from room service to concierge and everything in between. You wait at least an hour to get service. No matter what you need, you will wait and wait... -Already showing signs of wear for a relatively newer property And lastly, I recommend that you brush up on your Spanish speaking skills before you arrive or it will be very difficult to communicate with the staff.

    Just got back from a 5 night stay, we really enjoyed the hotel and amenities. This hotel is def a very quiet location, not a lot going on nearby, the property is nested in the jungle on the beach. The beach itself here was rocky, although we did get in, please wear sandals or the rocks will cut your feet up. Overall the pools were great, service at the pools was consistent, the staff was all very nice and attentive. Loved their hibiscus margaritas, their beer selection is extremely limited to only dos equios and tecate. Some bars do have Heineken and bojamin (a Mexican brown ale in a bottle) which was good. The food at the resort was decent. I will say they def have an outstanding cheeseburger, easily the best I've ever had in Mexico from any resort. The breakfast buffet was good, the Mediterranean restaurant was great, Italian restaurant was good, Mexican restaurant was decent and we missed the steak house. We did find some pretty amazing tacos in the dinner buffet one night that were incredible. Compared to other resorts in Mexico I would say the food here was lacking a bit, but I mean it was not bad by any means. I do wish the beach could be less rocky. The room we stayed in was nice, beds were comfy, room was very clean, mini bar was small but was nice, the water pressure was good and the ac worked great. The lobby bar was nice, they had this really good corn appetizer that was awesome. There is a small water park for kids but we did not go to it. Overall I would def stay again if I was going back to Tulum, it's not my favorite resort i have stayed at before, but for the extremely good price itand quiet/serenity vibe you get, it did make for a good experience. I wouldent say it's a 5 star resort, but easily a 4.

    First inclusive hotel I have ever been impressed with. Food, pool, amenities and property are all on point. Staff is amazing. Texting you throughout the day checking on if you need anything. Auma is the steakhouse... order chimichurri sauce with steak. You will be impressed. Norki has amazing soft shell crab. When you check in, go to the link and set your dinner reservations. Spa is next door at Conrad.... Super nice! Only downside (if you want a nightlife) is that it's not a "party" type hotel... it closes entertainment around 10pm. And, can be hard to communicate on drinks with staff if you speak English. I stayed with vodka pineapple... easy. Do NOT order a dirty martini Make sure you take smaller bills... $50 and $100 pesos to tip. No one ever has change for larger bills (even bell staff or front desk). Pool staff on top of drinks. Oh.... Bring sunscreen... it was $42 for a 50 spf copper-tone spray! Yes, you read that right. I'm out of order, so apologize. Writing poolside!

    Review Highlights - Hilton Tulum Riviera Maya

    We got to enjoy a Mexican party on the beach, a big surf and turf meal at Auma, and hibachi at Noriku - which was personally my favorite dinner at the resort.

We were here for 1 week and absolutely loved it. Each building has a concierge that is able to handle bookings or notify you of upcoming activities. My concierge was very helpful and communicated with me through whatsapp. You can also use the hyatt app to find this information. The resort offered many things to do throughout the day. There is also a beautiful beach, and the resort is a short walk to the town of Akumal. Activities were endless (in the morning). There are also some activities that have a limit on participants, so you may need to reserve early such as midnight for paddleboarding, or get to them at least an hour early to have a spot. Unfortunately pools were shutdown by 7. There were multiple restaurant/food options. Drinks were everywhere! There was also drink service at the pools. Room service was included and mini fridge restocked everyday. Tipping was not expected here, but they did accept pesos / US dollars. Overall an amazing experience. If you are looking for a relaxing vacation, this is a great place to start.

Secrets is an adults-only resort, so you wouldn't see any kids running around. We were there for a week, and it was a really nice and relaxing time. It was a really nice adult vacation where all you do is eat and drink. Also, the resort offers activities you can join, but some require advance sign-up, which you can do through the app or your building's concierge. There were a good number of restaurants that you could go to. And there was a good number of bars as well. The staff was really nice and frendly always greeting you and making sure that you are okay. One downside is that if you want to lie at the beach, you will need to get there early to get a chair. A majority of the time, we were at the quiet pool, where people would just be doing their own thing, such as reading a book, on their phone, or just taking a nap. Some people would go into the pool from time to time. But definitely more relaxing.

    My husband and I just got back from our wonderful honeymoon spent at Sian Ka'an. While it was his…read moresecond or third time spending time at the Bahia Principe resorts in Cancun, it was my first. Overall, we had a wonderful 7 night stay. Buffets: The daily buffets were offered 3 times a day and had themed sections, like Full English Breakfast, Mexican, Pizza, Dessert, etc. All of the selections I made were very yummy. I particularly enjoyed the variety of breakfast poached eggs as well as the green juice. They try to label each item with the name of the food and any allergens, which was confusing at times. One white rice would state that it had wheat, but the other white rice was not labeled with the wheat. I asked a manager and he helped me to understand, but pointed out another food item that had no wheat allergen sign and said that that is made with gluten. All in all, if you have an allergy, be very careful with your selections. They do have a dedicated gluten-free bakery case and toaster. If you're vegetarian/vegan, you might not find enough protein here. Restaurants: We made dinner reservations for each night and loved the variety of restaurants. I would recommend checking out the menus before you go and making reservations early, as we met people who didn't and were stuck with 9:45pm reservations or none at all because they didn't book ahead. Grounds/Rooms: The adults only Sian Ka'an campus is lovely, surrounded by lush trees and beautiful birds. The pools are the big ticket item here, and lots of people lay out each day relaxing. We had the penthouse suite with the jacuzzi. The room was more or less basic, with just the essentials. The bed was large and comfortable. I enjoyed how they re-filled you mini bar each day. We would've used the jacuzzi more if you didn't have to refill and drain it each time you wanted to use it. Upon arrival, we celebrated our honeymoon by putting a ribbon on our door and rose petals on our bed, which was sweet. Service: The service here was excellent. Every single employee was kind and friendly, always saying hello. They love when you put effort into speaking Spanish, so feel free to practice. They all work very hard, and it shows. The drinks are veryyyy weak, including the shots, which is probably company policy and for the better since we're sipping them all day long anyway. The golf cart service to and from the various hotels was good overall. Occasionally there was a delay or we had to wait a while for a ride, but overall it's a fine system and makes it feel like a little adventure going to and from each resort. Overall, Sian Ka'an was a great value for what you receive. We booked with their Black Friday sale last year, so maybe check that out if you're looking for a better deal. We would definitely come back!

    Stayed here for my first visit to Mexico! Where to begin…read more.. One ; it's far from the main city's about 45-1hr away from the main tourist towns. A taxi will cost 50-75$ depending on your driver ; rates seem to changed even when coming & going to same location.So having a rental at this location of the hotel might be better idea however please be aware this hotel is down a bumpy long dirt road! Two( Check in) went pretty while expect for the paper signing about 20 papers than I was told to make sure all my signatures matches my passport as they may have to call me back out if the owner does not agree with them ( Wierd) .Also got a free welcome drink of choice which was nice !!! Third( room) ; just as described; I booked the deluxe room which had a private shared pool with 2 others. WIFI went in and out. Pretty bad if you need to do work or school work as I did being I took a summer class.( I didn't allow housekeeping to come while there and I didn't use the safe just to keep everything safe as I read other reviews on Travelocity. Shower Water did get warm after I realized the correct way to turn it ( my fault) ! Fourth( hotel restaurant) it said free breakfast which from reviews I read was free a few months ago it's no longer free the only thing that was is a choice of ( coffee, orange or fruit) you pick 1.. disappointing since that was one of my reason of booking the hotel ! Also breakfast was not too pricey but dinner and drink are like if we're in the us ! No difference in price. I also ordered a certain breakfast plate which they did not make correctly it was missing two items .. Fifth( pool/beach) ; I use the top balcony pool once it was nice with an amazing view. Beach was rocky and had a lot of seaweed I did not even go on the beach even tho it had a lounge chairs . Best part; the view ; staff was very nice & friendly ! It's very secluded & private if that's what your looking for. Covid testing was 120 each usd Covid testing cheaper elsewhere noticed after being taxi too a bar and it's many other places just a heads up but at least they provided it . A doctor will be called to hotel and sent to your room ; get results in a few hours !

We flew to Cancun, and the plane was so empty. Wifey and I each got a roll of seats to ourselves. Anyways, back to the topic on hand. There is a restaurant named Nikkei Mashua located at their hotel prooerty. It is fabulous!! Seriously, we had our best meal of our 4 night trip at this restaurant. Lobby looks terrific. Staff we came across were all helpful and kind. Even got our Covid test done here. We actually stayed at one of their sister properties next door. There was a complimentray shuttle that took us from one property to the other. Very convenient. The sister property was nice, but from the looks of it the Grand Bahía Príncipe Coba may be actually nicer. Will have to spend some nights here in the future to find out. In the meantime, I highly recommend patronizing their Nikkei Mashua Restaurant. Awesome place with delicious food!!

When I asked them about it they got snippy and rude. Told me it was my fault that I waited to the last minute .. 11 days ago I booked the transfer. I asked 9 time to confirm , I finally chanced them down and they told me that it was too late 3 They messed up and failed to confirm or send me the link to pay the 153 for the round trip transfer.

Came for my honeymoon, was told at…read morecheck in they would do something special in our room for our honeymoon- that never happened. The service at the buffet was anything but great, felt like an inconvenience every time we wanted a refill. Can't even take food back to the room, and they'll chase you down if you leave with their glasses - only can walk around with an 8oz plastic cup. Same cup all their watered down, sugary cocktails are served in. Never been more disappointed on a vacation and the fact that this is our honeymoon stings even more. I understand the good google reviews, as they come to your table and wait for you to give them a review... make sure to be watching you the entire time before you leave, so yeah who will leave an honest review that way? Not to mention found a cockroach in our room too. The mini fridge they say they will stock daily, they must stock with whatever they have left, because only certain items have been restocked. Super overpriced for the service and quality. And getting a taxi? Outrageous prices through the resort. Don't stay here unless you like disappointment at a high cost! Oh yeah, the alacarte dining is impossible to get reservations for, so enjoy the buffet! Or not. Since they don't restock items there either. Waited and talked to over 4 members of staff over 30 minutes just for some shrimp cocktail- a cold dish... Room service? That's included but it will come to you cold. Oh yeah, my husband also got food poisoning while here. WOULD NEVER STAY AGAIN. I would however, recommend this to my worst enemy. If you want to have a sour stomach, overpriced rooms, and horrible food, come and stay here. But for us, never again. Also, came back to a clean room but now our toilet does not flush? That's super lovely considering my husband has food poisoning the resort gave him. I'm in for a lot of fun.

What I didn't like was that you can only go to one restaurant for every three days you're at the resort so really we were only supposed to go to two restaurants because of our days but we were able to finesse six different reservations. I will say the restaurants are the best thing to go to they should really find a way to open those up more and I think they have more people happy about the food. The top two restaurants with the Indian restaurant and the Brazilian meat restaurant everything was delicious staff was on point everything great 10 out of 10. We took a ride to the other resort coba, that was a one out of 10. Staff was not helpful, Buffet was crowded and super noisy, more kids over there I think it's more of a kids resort on that side. Security weren't helpful and just played on their phone I wouldn't suggest Coba at all. Chalum had a lot of great activities for people to do bicycle riding snorkeling and a second etc. we went bike riding and we had a great time that to see the whole resort get some information get to see the casino and the buyers market definitely was a great experience I can't wait to check out to Tulum, again
