Libelula is definitely one of the properties that preserved local Tulum vibe and culture, since many hotels have turned into commercial money machines. Pristine beach and access to the ocean. Great food and beverages! They handled special event with music and meditation on Saturday night and it was truly transcendental! But the highlight was people that manage this place, very warm and kind. I happened to injure my ankle and showed outmost care.

The road access to the hotel is a bit bumpy but a small price to pay considering the Beaty of nature preserve where property is located at.

We’ve travelled a lot and can safely say that this place is a rare find. The location is perfect- by far the best spot on the beach in the whole of Tulum. The sand is pristine. There is nothing to the right of you and looks like there is nothing to the left. But with a medium walk along the beach you can get to the restaurants and clubs. Saying that, you probably won’t want to leave. Armando, Jorge, Sam and Mansour make you feel absolutely at home. Their recommendations are always on point. I could write a whole paragraph about the food and drinks themselves but will just say: yucatan eggs and cochinta tacos. With only 9 properties on site, you feel like you’ve entered your own commune. If you prefer to be a recluse, take a few drinks down to the beach at night and just stare at the night sky. We stayed in the sea view master room and its was perfect. Tastefully decorated, private and (best to last) with a view/sound of the sea. There are lots of little touches that make you feel at home: natural toiletries in the shower, a little bowl of water by the front of your door to wash sand off your feet and soft linen on the bed.

We loved everything about the property. But those booking should take into account that although it’s walking distance to a some of the best restaurants, you will probably want to take a taxi if aiming for the north side of the strip or Tulum Central. This place is best enjoyed as a break from it all. Take a few days off from the hustle and bustle, hunker down and chill in what was genuine paradise.

Our stay at Libelula felt like we were visiting friends. Our room was located at the beach with a nice terrace and a great view. You’re in the middle of the nature at a very private beach since there are obly 9 rooms and no hotels next to Libelula. During the day the beach bar is open with great music. The food was perfect and also the drinks we’re great. We‘re definetely coming back! The hospitality was outstanding. Special thanks to Jorge and Miguel for being such great hosts and lovable guys. We already miss you guys and Libelula!

Stunning beach front with no neighbors. We love the comradely and friendliness of Jorge and the staff and with the other guests; we got to know the staff and fellow travelers which is so good for us! The food is simple but EXCELLENT. The cocktails are special and delicious. The room we had was upstairs with an amazing view, very quiet and caught the breeze, sounds of the sea and the jungle and sunrise.

We would have preferred no music on the beach and if the bicycles were maintained but salt air does funky things to metal!

I loved the beach and that it was on the reserve, I felt very connected to the nature around us. I also liked how it felt like I was being taken care of by family. The food and drinks were delicious. Service was great.

It’s a little far from main areas, and some taxis had to pay a fee to get into the reserve. The water has to be turned off at times during the night, which proved to be a challenge for us when we got sick. Also, if the weather is rainy and windy, it’s not the most ideal place to be.

Wonderful location at the end of Tulum, the start of miles of unspoilt beach providing exceptional walks. Our rooms facing the sea were really nice. The food was good, staff were both friendly and interesting

Our few days were by far the most expensive in Mexico and for the price should have at least included breakfast. It is a tropical idyl but nevertheless the water supply and piping needs a serious upgrade, for us townies being cut off is not much fun!

From the moment I arrived at Libelula I was made to feel like one of the family. This is a small and intimate resort where the staff cannot do enough for you. My room was a "Sky Cabana" which was surrounded by trees with the private beach just a few metres away. The food is amazing, all organic and local, the fish dishes are to die for! My only regret is that I didn't book this place for longer.

Nothing - I loved it all.

We stayed at Libelula for 6 nights and were absolutely delighted that we picked it for our first trip to Tulum. It’s a real gem! 😊 The hotel is uniquely calmly located in the Natural Reserve without any neighboring resorts and the beach was simply gorgeous! We upgraded to the nicely decorated Skyroom and enjoyed waking up to the sunset and the sound of the ocean every morning. The owners and staff were all very friendly and helpful plus the food was probably the best we ever had in Mexico! We did have a rental car for the time of our stay which we would highly recommend because the location is slightly remote for visiting the Ruins / Cenotes etc.

Very good location in Tulum Beach, perfect to disconnect and relax. Comfortable room. Delicious food.

The staff was rather nice and friendly apart from one person (the older guy) who was totally unfriendly during our stay, too bad he was the one attending us most of the time ☹️ Also the common areas could be much more welcoming with more maintenance, there is a bit of neglect which is not acceptable given the price!

Great place if you want to experience the “old Tulum” vibe. There are 9 only rooms located right on the beach, one of best beaches in the world. The room are nice and clean and the bed is comfortable. The staff and the owner are great: helpful and friendly! They will help you with everything from restaurant recommendations and bookings to transfer and special food requests. The food is outstanding, traditional Mexican food, great breakfasts, even better tacos and Ceviche and fair priced. I was staying in the luxury tent, which is an amazing room. They also have more traditional rooms and 2 rooms right on the beach.

I am giving this place a 10 rating, however there are few things you need to know before booking: -It is located at the most southern edge of the Tulum beach strip almost in the jungle, so if you are looking to party every night, this is not your place. You can go to the center of the beach strip by bike in 15 mins or by walking on the beach in 25 mins. -The mosquitoes in Tulum are for real, so load up on B vitamins a week in advance before going. -You are so close to the ocean, that you can hear the waves at night. So if you need completely peace and quiet to sleep, just bring some earplugs.
