Truly a “little gem.” We wanted a quiet space off the town center to return to after long days exploring, and we got it. It’s still walking distance to food and convenience stores, or a short bike to the main strip. It’s not a bad drive to the beach, but if you want to do tulum beach, stay in the hotel district; if you want to explore the city and travel to nearby cities, stay at Little Gem!
Super friendly and accommodating staff; we were treated better here than any hotel I’ve stayed— even the resorts. Jose, especially, always made me feel welcome to ask any crazy questions, and the other gentlemen set up the pool for us, even though it was past hours and it was just us — very kind.
The grounds and rooms are minimalist, but contemporary and beautiful. I love that it’s an eco hotel— they always asked when we wanted the room clean. Coffee, biscuits, bikes, and a return covid test in-house provided.
I will definitely stay at Little Gem again if I’m in Tulum.
