Holistica was wonderful. It is not near to walk downtown or the beach area. If you plan to stay there and not venture out it is a great experience. If you want to spend more time in Tulum, you will need to rent a scooter or car.

We had a great 7-day stay at Holistika for our Valentine’s trip. Check-in was smooth, but we recommend accepting help with bags as the rocky pathways are uneven. Our room was beautiful but lacked storage.

The pools were private and relaxing, though seating was limited. The property is open to the public for dining and classes, creating a nice mix of tourists and locals. Yoga classes were more advanced than expected, and the shalas lacked bolsters and had an unpleasant smell. However, the sound bath in the domo was incredible.

Our couples massage was amazing, and the pottery class with Patty was a highlight—our shipped pieces arrived intact except for one break. Tierra had decent vegan options but often ran out of items, while Y-om Y-om’s vegan gelato and snacks were excellent.

A downside was finding fire ants in our packed clothes on the last day. Despite this, we had a memorable stay!

Unchecked Hostility Toward Guests

It was a beautiful hotel, but I was not pleased with the staff. One of the wellness workers, Valentina, bumped into my group members multiple times. We are all black women, and I don't want to say it was racism, but I added our race for potential context. I went up to the wellness department and asked that she say \"pardon\" the next time she sees someone in my group instead of carelessly bumping them. She did not take my complaint seriously, laughed a little, and gave me a flippant apology. I let the manager know what happened, and asked what the procedure would be. She said she would ask Valentina what happened, but I noticed the manager didn't bother to take a report from members in my party who had this experience.

Holistika was a beautiful experience. I loved the yoga classes, beautiful large rooms, hammocks, ceremonies and activities. The pillows in the rooms were a bit too high which strained my neck. And the restaurant staff should definitely be better trained for more efficient service.

I always stay here, and it never disappoints. Although construction in La Valeta is constant, it seems much quieter on the premises. It is always well-kept and has excellent activities; I can't recommend it enough. The only minor negative is the $4 charge per coffee pod in the room. At $150 a night, it is a little egregious, but you can walk to the restaurant and get it cheaper.

Luxury on a budget

This hotel/hostel was fantastic… I stayed in the Beehive and was very happy with the accommodations, yoga class, restaurant, pools, art walk, natural surroundings and overall comfort. I rented a bike and rode to beach which allowed me to bypass traffic. I wish I had done more research on transportation from airport… The bus would have worked out fine

Exceeds Expectations for an Unforgettable Trip!

I'm still pinching myself after returning from the most incredible birthday celebration with my best friend at Hotel Holistika in Tulum, Mexico. This stunning property exceeded our lofty expectations in every way, making our 40th birthday milestone an unforgettable experience.

The gastronomic journey at Hotel Holistika was nothing short of phenomenal. The chef's creations were not only visually stunning but bursting with flavor and creativity.
Exceptional Service:

The service at Hotel Holistika was truly exceptional and the property itself was so welcoming and serene. We also loved being able to feel like we were on a yoga retreat, without the strict schedule. Being able to choose classes each day at our own leisure was perfect. The sound healing class was a true highlight!

I highly recommend this property and can't wait to return!

The minute you walk in you see how serene and beautiful the place is! You really do feel like you're out on the jungle somewhere. Front desk was so friendly and attentive. They always helped me get a taxi. They have plenty to do on site so you could spend all your time there. Their on site vegan/veg restaurant Tierra is delicious but SLOW. Waited a while to get a menu then I had to ask 4 times to get my check and box. They still forgot my box so I had to get up and ask AGAIN. The discouraged me from going again. They also have a boutique, a vegan snack shop, a cute smoothie bar with swings. I also took a Yoga class inside their dome and the place itself was gorgeous!! The yoga class was also healing and made cry tears of joy. I stayed in their beehive doors and it was great! Clean and quiet. Plenty of showers and toilets, I never had to wait. They give you 2 lockers and have a gallon of filtered water to fill up your water bottles. I was also able to walk about 15 mins to a nearby collectivo stop that took me to El Centro. 5 mins walking there's a few eateries and an Oxxo convenience store

It's a gorgeous place with excellent staff and great food. The front desk was kind, courteous, and helpful - shout out to Aida, Lena, and Sofia! Isabel's yoga class was outstanding. I'll come back.

Everyone at the restaurant was terrific as well. The restaurant menu seemed innovative but needed to be more wholesome and diverse. I got stomach cramps after eating one night, but I am unsure if that was because of the cheese or the dessert. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the food; it was healthier and tastier. I wish they had some authentic Mexican food options.

Yikes.

Got food poisoning from their restaurant, as I ate nowhere else in the 3 days I was there.

Twice I was sent to the wrong shala for yoga and ended up missing the first 15 minutes of both classes.

They should stop asking people to pay cash and make us feel guilty about using our card. You’re a business, act like one and accept card payments without belittling the guest.

Staff has an attitude problem. I’ve read it before in reviews and now I understand completely. Horrible customer service.

A server gave me someone’s left over salsa. I told her to give me a new one and she just topped it off in the same old dirty ramiken. I am a POC and there were very few there and I felt disrespected often like a second class citizen compared to the white people.

A white lady budded in line and they saw and still continued to help her and make me wait. Then offers me the most silly apology.

So disappointing for an”spiritual” place.

Two classes I took were awful, and one instructor tried to get $10000 USD from me for private sessions and kept trying to get the money from me immediately that day! Such a scam!! He must’ve thought I was an idiot and was playing on the fact that I had an ill father.

These people should be embarrassed. Nothing spiritual here. All just pomp and circumstance.

The staff went above and beyond to help me while I was without a phone, allowing me to make reservations on their front desk computer as needed, print docs, etc. It's nice that people from other hotels and airbnbs come to take classes or eat at the restaurant so there are always people around to talk with if you're looking for that. I'll definitely be back.

This was part 2 of a holiday to Mexico. What a comparison.
The hotel itself was an oasis. But the service I received didn’t match this.
When using the restaurant it felt more like they were doing me a favour and I should feel appreciated for them deciding to serve me.
We also had the unfortunate event of having our bike stolen. ( I knew there would be a charge)
What I wasn’t expecting was the reception to be so Unhelpful.

Property was beautiful. Private rooms were large and simple but the beds were very stiff and I had to chase down basic amenities from the staff (ex. no towels in my room). I had no wifi/cell phone signal in my original room. The staff were able to move me, but to a room with the previous guests food in the mini-fridge and items in the garbage. When I checked out, I was asked to pay for my towels as they had very small smudges of makeup on them — this is the first time I’ve ever heard of anything like this. I would understand if they were stained or heavily soiled, but this would have came out easily in the wash? I hardly even use makeup.

Overall I would come back for yoga and for the restaurant which was wonderful, but I would not stay again.

Always a wonderful time at Holistika

This was my second time staying at Holistika in the dorm and I had a great experience. The staff was friendly at the reception, the room was clean, had a large locker and towels included. The pool and grounds were nice and I felt safe. They had great communication throughout my stay through WhatsApp. There is a restaurant and yoga classes on site. The reception was always amazing and very helpful. My only complaint was that there was one young lady (it seemed like she may have been a manager) at the wellness desk that was rude to myself and others.

This place is amazing! Tucked inside the forest, Holistika offers a quiet retreat with yoga classes, wellness workshops, and other amazing amenities. My husband and I traveled here for my birthday and spent almost every day at the resort. It's located close enough that you don't have to spend too much on taxis to travel to other places, but far enough away that you're not surrounded by a ton of crowds. Everything was super clean and the front desk assistants, Miriam and Jesus, were so friendly and helpful during our stay. I honestly think this is one of the best places that you can stay in Tulum. The restaurant is also great and offers vegan-friendly meals. You have everything that you need at this place.

Where do I start? Holistika is an oasis in paradise. Healing energy and tranquility will come to you if you stay here. Positioned on the outside of Tulum, in the jungle, I felt rejuvenated from the seclusion and botanical vibrancy. The workshops and classes they host were amazing - the facilities and teachers are nothing I've seen in the US. I cannot wait to come back <3

Mixed reviews

I have a mixed review for Holistika.

Pros: the yoga, sound healing, and mindfulness classes are amazing. The teachers are world-class, and the studio spaces are beautiful.

I stayed in the beehive, and it was easy to make friends with the other women bc they were cool, interesting, and friendly.

Cons: the service here, both from the hotel staff and on-site restaurant, is poor. It’s clear that none of the employees have been trained in hospitality. They were unable to answer basic questions like “can I extend my stay?” When I asked for directions, they’d gesture vaguely and not give a real answer. When I asked if they could tell the gardener to not turn on his leaf blower outside my window at 7am, they smiled and nodded, but didn’t actually fix the problem.

We used to have curtains in the beehive to provide privacy for each bed, but then one day they took them all down. When I asked when we could get them back, the staff looked baffled. After 2 days of no curtains we started rigging sheets and towels, which finally gave us some privacy but made the room resemble a refugee camp.

All in all, the staff needs much better training to provide clearer communication and friendlier service.

Relax in Tulum

Still one of the best places to stay, if you don't come to Tulum to party. It is quiet, very relaxing in the middle of the jungle, private, the yoga driven crowd from all over the world is interesting to mingle with, the pools are perfect for long swims, the restaurant has consolidated itself, the vegetarian food is healthy, yummy and not expensive and the service is one of the best in Tulum. Internet connection has been improving over time but still the main weakness.

Amazing resort. It’s situated in the middle of the jungle. The amenities are impecable and the 2 pools the best I have ever seen. The king room we got was spacious, the bed extremely comfortable and there was this fresh feeling to it. The vegetarian restaurant inside the hotel also serves amazing food. Now, personally, the reason why I probably wouldn’t stay again, even though I fell in love with the facilities, it’s the New Age theme the resort has. It’s not subtle and unless you share the same beliefs, it might make you feel uncomfortable. The Art Walk murals have very esoteric meaning and the place even has a Temezcal (sweat house). Overall, fantastic nature resort except for the spiritual theme that inundates it, unless you are into it!

Very relaxing atmosphere, immersed in nature at 5 minutes drive from Tulum Pueblo. Paradise for yoga and meditation lovers is also a good base for business trips. If you like peace and silence is a great place. Slow internet like every where in Tulum and slow service but it fits to the mood of the place. If you are not a nature lover and bugs really bothers you, is not your place.

We had the most relaxing view of and access to the pool, which was well maintained and fancy-looking. Everything was relatively affordable, but all looked very fancy and classy. I loved the holistic \"wellness\" theme of the hotel, which includes a complimentary yoga class (incredible) and spa treatments (have to pay for it but my massage was absolutely perfect). There's also a delicious vegetarian/vegan restaurant on hotel grounds (best avocado toast and smoothie bowl I've ever had). And a cute little shop with unique locally made products! And beautiful stray cats that hang around! Honestly I've nothing to complain about. I highly recommend this accomodation and would stay again in a heartbeat.

Peaceful soul nourishing retreat in the jungle.

This place is next level. The buildings are amazing eco-buildings. Every single thing here is beautiful and feels intentional and peaceful.
I just keep extending my stay here. It is on the very outside of town so you feel like you are fully in peaceful jungle. Frogs and birds singing, plants, lovely paths, a pool that is shaded and one that is in the sun. I Seriously never want to leave this place. I was stressed when I arrived but that dropped away the moment I walked through this property. I did not expect to want to take so many yoga and meditation classes because yoga isn't really my thing....but now it is. Can't say enough about how much I love this place. They don't show you around so do find both pools, the kitchen if you need it, the art walk, and the treehouse to get the full experience. I haven't done the Temescal ceremony yet but I hear really good things about it.
