Hotels near Cenote Escondido

"Hotel Bardo is truly a gem! The landscape design, lush foliage, and inventive pools create an almost magical atmosphere—tranquil, immersive, and beautifully designed. The rooms are luxurious and chic, blending modern comfort with a serene, nature-inspired aesthetic. Many reviews mention that the hotel isn’t close to the beach, and that’s true—it’s about a 15-minute drive to the shoreline and a bit longer to the hotel zone. If your main priority is being on the beach, you may find yourself spending a lot of time in transit and paying for parking and beach club access. However, if you’re looking for a unique, relaxing stay with stunning architecture, incredible pools, and an overall dreamy ambiance, Bardo is absolutely worth it. The staff is warm and attentive, and the hotel offers great classes and activities to enhance the experience. I plan to return to Tulum and would love to stay at Bardo for 1-2 nights before moving to the beach for the remainder of my trip. Also, note that Bardo has a sister property right next door with another pool and restaurant that guests can use—we didn’t realize this at first! Additionally, their other sister property, Milam, might be an even better fit for some travelers, as it offers reciprocal access to classes and a slightly different vibe—definitely worth looking into before booking. Overall, Hotel Bardo is an outstanding choice for those seeking a peaceful, design-forward retreat in Tulum. Highly recommend!"

"The property was beautiful. Staff were attentive and quick to help. Enjoyed playing volleyball at the beach, Johnny was amazing! Tulum beach is one of the best we’ve seen. We will definitely come back!"

"Beautiful location"

"first and foremost, Max is absolutely the best! he’s helpful, responsive and kind. this is my 3rd time staying at Copal and Max has made each stay welcoming. Esmeralda at the front desk is also a pleasure. Claudio is amazing and helpful as well. Claudio is always so welcoming and kind no matter what. Claudio and Max are turtle the heart of this hotel and the reason I will continue to stay here. Unfortunately Johnny is not so pleasant and I would probably avoid him if necessary. There was a plumbing issue with my room and he was not very accommodating. He emphasized there would be a cost difference to change my room due to issues of the hotel, I found that very odd and compelling seeing that it wasn’t on my behalf. There also was no budging with this to be clear. It was quite upsetting seeing that I was in a room with a private pool and had to downgrade and was still being met with his nonchalant demeanor. "

"Great people"

"We had a wonderful stay! The rooms are spacious, we booked a 2-bedroom suite on the roof with a large balcony – perfect for relaxing in private. Despite arriving late at 3 AM, the process was seamless. We received clear instructions via WhatsApp on how to access our key and find our suite. The cleaning staff were incredibly sweet and helpful, adding a personal touch to our experience. This is truly a great place to unwind and enjoy some privacy. Highly recommend!"
