Loved our stay at Piedra Escondida. It is a small boutique style hotel and very quiet and relaxing during our stay. The room was always cleaned to a high standard as were the communal areas. Breakfast was very good and the staff were extremely helpful. The hotel is right on the beach with wonderful views. It is also close to local bars and restaurants.

The staff were incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay. A special thank you to Nayyali and Martin, who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and taken care of. The service was truly amazing.

The food was delicious with great variety, and every meal was a pleasure. From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. We had such a relaxing and enjoyable time and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend!

Like everything in Tulum this place is pretty pricey. The staff are great, the rooms are nothing fancy and the drinks are very expensive -- $20+ CAD for a Margarita is just weird. Location is terrific right by the ocean but be sure to focus meal budget in town where the meals are far more reasonable than along this strip. Best to have access to a car as there isn't much to do here besides enjoy the beautiful views and take in the beach air.

If opening up your door and being right on the beach is your thing, than you’ll love this place. The room was spotless and our one meal at the restaurant was superb. The sole drawback was the constant winds. The ocean was just too choppy to ever enjoy a swim.

I loved this place. I stayed here before going to a retreat and it was exactly what I needed. I stayed in the superior double room. I had a view of the ocean & steps from the ocean. There is a small private beach but because of the seaweed wasn’t swimmable. There’s access to a public beach a short walk away and I swam there . The food was amazing , the breakfast was included and there were many options for breakfast. If you’re looking for quiet this place is it. I went to sleep with the sound of the ocean which was very relaxing. The Staff was always friendly and helpful, Nayeli was lovely and always very helpful. Will definitely return!

The entire staff was fantastic. Genuinely friendly & helpful. Location & service can’t by beat - on the beach, lovely setting & view, not crowded or loud, comfortable, yummy adjoining restaurant plus dining & shopping walkable. Only drawback was no pool & the beach had a lot of seaweed, but one staff worked tirelessly to remove it & a common problem for all of the Yucatán. Without being asked, they made my daughter’s 16th birthday extra special! Would return in a heartbeat.

The hotel, food, view and the location were perfect. The restaurant was unique and delicious. Ask the chef to make you a seafood dinner of his choice and you will not be disappointed. We loved the simple comfort/luxury of the room and the spectacular view/access to salt water. Having great food, drinks, a private beach on property plus a parking lot for a rental car was great and allowed us to visit ruins, town, etc. We rented bikes and biked all over the hotel zone. Also we were able to shop in some cute shops near by. Close to trendy Kintoh and safe places to run/bike in the mornings if you want. We would stay there again! Perfect getaway.

We have travelled a lot but this has been one of the best hotels we have ever stayed at.

The accommodation is rustic and charming but not cheap quality at all. Little touches are thought through like foot baths at each the little apartment.

The beach is private and so pretty. Sadly a lot of plastic waste litters the beach but that isn’t the hotels fault. It washes in from the sea.

The real highlight is their menu. Breakfast lunch and dinner! Every meal is extraordinary. The chef is amazing! We went out for dinner one night and never did it again. Had every meal at Piedra Escondida because it was so good.

The included breakfasts are enormous and delicious. Food is absolutely stunning.

Martin was so helpful as well helping us arrange economical taxis for some longer day trips to Coba and early morning taxis for us to meet our group tour to chichen itza.

I would stay at Piedra Escondida again in a heartbeat.

We had a thoroughly enjoyable time. Muchos Gracias.

EXCELLENT place to relax

EXCELLENT! Cute 8 room hotel right on the beach - almost private! Great food at the hotel restaurant. Staff was super friendly and front desk was extremely helpful answering questions via email before arrival. The hotel is on the quiet side of hotel zone - very peaceful but not much to see or do on that side. If you like quiet peaceful stress free...this is the spot.

Simple but nice

No frills, simple hotel that feels authentically Mexican. Friendly and helpful staff, beautiful little private beach. Great location. Only complaint is that when we were there, there was very loud club music playing at night until 2am. We were traveling with our son so putting him to bed at 8pm was challenging.

Amazing boutique hotel in perfect spot

Beautiful boutique hotel in an immaculate location. Private beach cove, enough loungers for every guest, so you can relax and never have to wake up early and claim a spot. Breakfast on the beach was delicious. Service great. It’s a simple spot with no frills, but that’s part of why it’s great. It’s away from the hordes of influencers, it’s quiet, it feels organic and connected to nature.

I recently stayed at Hotel Piedra Escondida in Tulum, and I can’t say enough good things about this charming, small hotel. With only 10 rooms, it offers an intimate, tropical vibe that feels like a hidden paradise. The property is incredibly well-maintained, spotlessly clean, and the service is absolutely top-notch.

Martin, the manager, truly went above and beyond to accommodate all our special requests, making our stay even more memorable. This was my third time visiting Tulum, but my first experience staying in this quieter part of the hotel zone, near the ruins and the public beach. It’s such a peaceful area, far removed from the hustle and bustle of the south side.

The only minor downside is that the beach here isn’t as stunning as some others in Tulum, but that’s not a big issue since you can always visit one of the many beach clubs nearby. For the price, the excellent service, and the overall experience, this hotel is absolutely worth it.

To top it all off, the food is delicious, and the included breakfast was a wonderful way to start each day. I highly recommend Hotel Piedra Escondida for anyone looking for a tranquil, high-quality stay in Tulum. I’ll definitely be back!

Everything about the hotel was amazing. It feels like an oasis in a busy area.
The rooms had everything we needed and the staff went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. The beds were comfortable and the water pressure was great.
The complementary breakfast, coffee and daily juice was very good. You choose from multiple different dishes and the portions are definitely filling. I really enjoyed sitting on the deck and eating every morning right on the ocean.
The chairs and umbrellas are reserved for hotel guests only so there always somewhere to sit.
10/10 recommend this hotel. If we are ever back in the area we will definitely be staying there again.

Romantic authentic hotel

The hotel is located directly by the beach. The style is cosy, comfortable and Tulum- authentic. Direct and private access to the beach, sunshades and beach chairs provided. Excellent breakfast and food in general, fair prices.
The place would benefit from a deep cleaning, except the restaurant which was always impeccable.
I would recommend this place for those who seek a romantic location by the beach, far from the modern fancy style that so many of the new hotels offer- and which is reflected in their pricing.

I had the most amazing stay at this beautiful bed and bath by the ocean! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning views and serene atmosphere. The room was immaculate, with tasteful décor that blended perfectly with the coastal surroundings. I slept like a dream, lulled by the sound of the waves crashing nearby. The bathroom was a true oasis, with luxurious amenities that made me feel pampered. The location couldn’t have been better—just steps away from the beach, making it easy to enjoy long walks along the shore or watch the sunset from the comfort of my room. This place truly offers the perfect escape, and I can’t wait to return! Highly recommend!

A little slice of heaven on the beach! Beautiful spot of a quiet beach where turtles come to nest every year! Very well run, super clean and right on a beautiful beach! We loved our stay here and we'll be back! Easy to get to by car and a couple places nearby to walk to for dinner. Little shops on the street. What Tulum used to be before the mega resorts took over!

Great posada!

What a wonderful and quaint hotel! The private beach was fabulous and you never have to wake up early to get a spot under a palapa since there are only 9 rooms! We saw a turtle lay its eggs on the beach as well. It was a very special place! The hotel feels like Tulum back in the days before the mega resorts and the free breakfast was delicious.

Piedra Escondida is a delightful, relaxed, cute hotel nestled on a picturesque cove in Tulum. My second floor room was very comfortable with a lovely balcony perfect for staring out at the sea and listening to the sounds of the waves and birds. All the staff are extremely friendly, helpful, and attentive. The meals at the hotel's restaurant, Molcajete, were fabulous, and I enjoyed a wonderful grilled octopus and a tangy, fresh ceviche with a basket of tortilla chips on the beach one day. The breakfasts were all amazing too. The outdoor dining patio is gorgeous. Highly recommended.

Pictures don’t do this place justice

The photos uploaded by the hotel do NOT do this place justice!!! This is a hidden gem to say the least. Ideal location if you want to stay in the boujee part of Tulum with all the high-end restaurants / beach clubs. These rooms, which there are only 8 of them, are on a private beach. If you are on the bottom floor, you literally walk out of your room into the sand. Just a few yards away is the Caribbean sea. Staff is very friendly and very helpful. Rooms are nice and cozy. A delicious breakfast is included every morning with your stay. Parking is free. It’s very quiet here. No one bothers you. They have plenty of private huts to lay under and plenty of beach chairs. No additional cost for that. I can say enough about this place.

We really enjoyed our 3 nights here. Amazing view, really cool property, fantastic restaurant, and really friendly staff. They take good care of the place. There are 2 things that could be improved on - the a/c in our room blew right on me in bed and the water pressure was a little low. These are really minor things completely out weighed by the positives.

This is such a beautiful boutique hotel. The staff were amazing and so helpful. We stayed in the room above the restaurant and our A/C was having issues the first few days, but eventually it worked great. The best part is the private beach.

The restaurant is very expensive on site but there are lots of other options (Matteo's has awesome tacos and Mena next door is very good too).

If you book the Chichen Itza tour don't worry about paying extra for hotel pickup, as the road is too narrow for bus pick up. Just get the Super Aki pick up (you can easily get a taxi).

If I ever go back to Tulum I will definitely stay here again!

From the moment we got there to the very last moment of check out, my mom, friend, and I had the most great experience. Our room was not only super spacious and well-maintained, but it was also very clean and up-to-date. The daily cleaning service was exceptional. Every morning we were greeted with friendly smiles from the staff, and I highly recommend eating breakfast there because the food was so delicious. We had breakfast, lunch and dinner there and when I say that this place is hands-down probably the best place that we’ve eaten since being here in Tulum! The flavors and the consistency of the presentation throughout the whole week a free breakfast was honestly just so rewarding and a nice touch to staying here. The customer service was exceptional 10/10 from Nayeli, Daniel, Martin, and plenty of the other staff. Much thanks to the cooks because the food like we said before was the best we’ve had in all of Tulum. I highly recommend staying here because not only is it super authentic and unique. They have the best and most attentive staff, delicious and variety of food, and the location I promise you is like no other. This is well worth your buck and I highly recommend staying here anytime you visit. I just want to say personally thank you so much for such a beautiful and welcoming stay!My mom and I made so many memories here and we can’t get over the view from our room! I’m definitely coming back to visit soon!

This is the perfect place to stay in Tulum. All of the staff is friendly and welcoming, and Chef Martin’s kitchen makes absolutely phenomenal food and drinks at the restaurant.

This location is phenomenal too. Fantastic quaint, clean, and private beach next to various shops and restaurants. Far enough from all the action to where you feel like you’re getting an escape, but close enough to be a 5 minute cab ride as well.

I would recommend this to anyone. This place and the staff truly made our stay very special.

This is an amazing hotel! Is small, no many rooms. The fact that is in front of the beach makes it even better. You can see the sunrise and I love how they protect the nest of the turtles! The service is amazing. All employees were very nice and they give us lots of information and tips to enjoy our trip. Ask them for everything!
Rooms need to be upgrade a bit.
The hotel is located in a good area with restaurants, shops, and bars. You have lots of options.
Unfortunately, we came during seaweed season and weren’t able to swim. However, the environment at the beach is very nice and you can enjoy with a good margarita!
Food is also good, and the restaurant of the hotel gives you good options.

Thank you very much to the staff! You make our trip magical!

We loved our stay at this hotel for three nights. Our room had an incredible ocean view and we could hear the waves in bed, which was special. It’s set on the beach so you walk across the sand to get to your room each evening and breakfast each morning. The room was big and very clean, and the hotel itself felt very relaxing and charming. The hotel team were all so friendly and helpful. Breakfast each morning was delicious with lots of choice, and the happy hour cocktails were great too! There are restaurants within walking distance from the hotel and it’s easy to get taxis too, although these aren’t cheap. We rented bikes from across the road to visit a cenote and the ruins. We preferred staying in this quiet part of Tulum rather than the party zone.

Upon checking in, we were greeted by the friendliest staff and welcomed to this beautiful slice of paradise on the beach. Wake up and have a coffee on the porch overlooking the sea, or take in the calm sounds of the waves at night before going to sleep. There are a few places to eat and drink within walking distance and everything else is a quick taxi ride away, with plenty of taxis driving by to pick up (or the front desk will happily call one for you). We ate dinner at the restaurant the night we checked in and the food was really good. Only gave 4 stars for cleanliness because it’s on the beach, so you will inevitably track some sand into your room. The staff was great about cleaning, though, and maintaining the property overall. They were doing some hammering in the early morning in the room below ours, but they stopped immediately when we went down and asked them to quiet down. Other 4 star rating was for eco-friendliness, since there’s no method for recycling, but that may just be a Mexico limitation. This place is well worth the price. We would definitely come back and stay here!

Beautiful beach getaway with just 9 rooms. Friendly and helpful staff. Delicious breakfast. The rooms are simple but spotlessly clean, with aircon if you want it (and no TV, but that’s good thing!). There are several cafes and beach clubs within a few minutes walk, plus a small convenience store and craft and clothing stores. You can just escape from the world here for a few days, hang out on the beach and relax. Then it’s a short drive to Tulum ruins or the local cenotes. It was the perfect choice for our beach stay on our Yucatan roadtrip. Thanks,

The front desk staff was friendly, but the wait staff not friendly at all. Our first day we bought 2 beers and the waiter said we could charge to the room. That night, at 10pm they knocked on our door and made us pay right then. They cannot control the location, but because it is in a cove the seaweed is really bad and you cannot swim in the water. We walked to the stretch of beach after the cove and that is a way better spot. The breakfast was good and fish tacos at lunch. Dinner seafood dish, not so great.

extremely dissatisfied,. do not recommend it

Pros:
- the hotel is located on a semi-private beach that is beautifully set up and I would say that is the only thing that stands out about this place.

Cons:
Room:
- there were bugs on our bed
- there was a blood stain on the bed sheet and towels were all stained yellow
- the beds made a lot of noises. As soon as you moved on one bed, it was so loud that would easily wake up the other person on the other bed.
- the lamp inside the room was not working and the room was very dark
- the front door was broken and would not open/close properly
- no complimentary tea/coffee inside the room
- internet/wifi kept disconnecting
- lots of nighttime noise in the room due to the restaurant's loud music
- there was a major undeclared construction on the building next door and the disturbing loud noise was on and off throughout the day

Facility and safety:
- the beach is not private. In fact many non-hotel guests come through the side door, and just use the facility (beach, chairs, etc) and take pictures and leave which makes the place unsafe in my opinion for hotel guests. The facility has no control over who enters/exists which means if as a hotel guest you leave your shoes outside of your door to dry, they may very well get stolen and hotel would have no idea about it.

Location:
- inconveniently very far from downtown. It costs roughly 300-450 pesos one-way from downtown/highway to the hotel.

Breakfast
- the complementary breakfast is very bare basic (not even including eggs).
