Cabañas Tulum
This long-time favorite manages to combine Tulum’s old-fashioned rustic feel with modern conveniences like A/C (from 7pm to 7am) and 24-hour electricity. Beachfront bungalows and rooms in a two-story building with only partial views are similarly designed in a sparse fashion with white walls, light wood furnishings, and large bathrooms. The best part is the front porch with hammocks swaying in sea breezes. Rooms on the second floor get the most cooling air, a delight on sweltering days. Ceiling fans and screened windows do help beat the heat in all rooms, though. Rates are high, but not outrageous when compared with the competition, and you can get significant breaks by booking early or for several nights. The beach is one Tulum’s finest, with a broad stretch of white sand and the ever-popular Ziggy's Beach Club and restaurant. A small pool and shady sundeck provide a break from the sand. The owners have opened a more luxurious adults-only boutique hotel called The Beach Tulum (www.thebeach-tulum.com) beside the cabañas.
