About this property

Welcome to UMA Tulum Oceanfront

Situated along the beachfront in Tulum’s Hotel Zone, UMA Tulum Oceanfront offers a simple, laid-back stay for travelers seeking direct access to the Caribbean Sea. With a modest rating of 4.1 from 42 reviews, the property sits within a natural reserve area, providing a quiet environment close to notable sites such as the ancient Tulum ruins and nearby cenotes like Gran Cenote and Cenote Calavera.

Accommodations are basic and do not include air conditioning or a pool, reflecting a more rustic, eco-conscious approach. Guest comments highlight complimentary Wi-Fi, parking, and a beach-front location as positives, while pointing out the absence of climate control and timed electricity outage between midnight and morning, requiring some preparation for comfort. The atmosphere is kid-friendly and invites visitors looking for tranquility rather than extensive hotel facilities.

The property includes free breakfast and offers easy beach access, although it lacks a fitness center. Reviewers appreciate the attentive service, with several praising the on-site bar and restaurant for their quality and friendly staff. It is well suited for those prioritizing nature and sightseeing, with a score of 3.7 reflecting its appeal for recreation and exploring Tulum’s beaches and cultural landmarks.

Its location is convenient for travelers arriving via the Aeropuerto Internacional de Tulum Felipe Carrillo Puerto, about 54 minutes away by car, and within a reasonable distance to Cozumel International Airport.

Un lugar más que hermoso, todo muy ecológico, las personas y servicio muy agradables, cuenta con estacionamiento, restaurante, wifi y la opción para rentar bicicletas. Lo malo se encuentra en los cuartos, no cuenta con ventilador o aire acondicionado y la energía eléctrica se corta de 12 de la noche a 10 de la mañana por lo que debes tener cuidado o cargados tus objetos electrónicos. No olvides llevar tu repelente o insecticida.

Todo excelente, se encuentra dentro de la reserva federal, por lo cual la luz es por planta y a las 12 am quitan la energía eléctrica
