Means, The peace of Tulum that claims to be the best Tulum Hotel in Town. So, let’s break down the details to see if it is true and real.

Starting with the smallest apartment offers a single room for 2 guests with several free amenities included, notably a fully-equipped kitchen, and a stunning balcony view of the garden and pool (most valuable room for two!).

Interestingly, the hotel is located close to the main La Veleta street, C. 7 Sur. As we mentioned, this is where you can find all the delicious restaurants and bars to spend an unforgettable nightlife.

Starting price: 100 USD per night | Positive reviews on: Beautiful bedrooms and great prices.

Airbnb is your best friend when it comes to looking for the perfect place to stay the night. If you search the rental listing in La Veleta, you will find stunning condos, studio bedrooms and apartments below 100 USD. 

Moreover, these units have their own kitchen, washers and even a swimming pool included. To save more money on your vacation, we suggest scouting the area during low seasons from May to Aug and hunting for a sale or discounts.

What we mostly love about using Airbnb is how you can check for good reviews and instantly chat with the host for a sudden visit! This is really convenient if you need a quick stay for the night.

La Veleta do have several restaurants, nightbars and other hangout places to visit. But there are few unique spots you can only find in La Veleta, and these are:

Central Park is an inclusive eco-modern rental property (apartment) that has a fully-equipped gym, relaxing spa and the best pad thai restaurant in Tulum!

Although you are not guests of Central Park, you can still visit the gym, spa and restaurant. Where the Los Amigos Gym & SPA is one of few great places in Tulum to go exercising and their spa services are top-notch (highly recommended). While the restaurant is called the Curry by Po Thai, serving original Thai cuisines that taste muy delicioso!

The most homey and comfy co-working space in Tulum and perfect for digital nomads. Not only do they offer super high-speed internet (upto 200 megabit), but you can also enjoy a free sip of coffee to boost your energy. 

With attentive staff around the cafe, they can serve you European cuisine from the restaurant which is good enough to fill your bellies. But, the highlight of Digital Jungle is just the working atmosphere. It sets the perfect mood that brings you back into focus that is really helpful for work.

Our only reason against staying in La veleta is the bumpy roads and constructions in some areas.

It is a safety hazard if you are driving a scooter at night and aren’t careful with the road. Many accidents happen during this hour, but they can still be avoided if you are extra careful, especially at night!

Moreover, since La Veleta is still developing, you can be the unlucky person to be blessed by the annoying construction noises during the day. But do not worry, the noises are honestly bearable if you stay in your room, and sometimes you can hardly even notice it. 

With almost a year living here, we think the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. This is still the ideal place for anyone who wants to experience luxury accommodation (hotels, apartments, villas) for a few weeks up to months.

It is also a great alternative to the mainstream hotels at the Hotel Zone by the beach, which can cost way more!
