Great hotel. My room was actually at the Lula property next door. It was a great deal for a jungle room across the street. Nice room with great details. I used La Zebra amenities. The food was pretty good but expensive. Comfortable covered lounges on the beach. I would stay again.

La Zebra

Quint boutique Hotel. Uber zen. Friendly staff. Large room. Very comfortable. Great Resturant. TULUM needs to fix the road to this hotel and many more. Narrow, pot holes, and unnecessary speed bumps. Time sitting in traffic can be brutal. Hence the welcome for tranquil Hotel La Zebra.

This place is paradise! We stayed for a week in the Beachfront Plunge Pool room and we couldn't be happier with our choice. La Zebra is truly a luxury boutique hotel with the ideal location, impeccable hospitality and delicious food. The room was beautifully decorated and the housekeeping staff kept it sparkling clean through our stay. The turndown service was a warm touch and we really appreciated the little surprise treats every evening. The room came with a reserved beach bed which was amazing. The beach bar staff were so friendly and prompt with keeping our mezcalita glasses full! We loved the restaurant as well. Special thanks to Felipe, Roger and German who were all so polite, knowledgeable and gave great recommendations. Another great perk is we could walk to the neighboring Lula hotel and get resident rates on their wellness classes (AMAZING studio!) and fantastic spa treatments. We also appreciate La Zebra promoting local artists by displaying their vibrant pieces on the property. We will definitely be visiting again! No complaints!

We had a sea view room with a large balcony. The room was clean, spacious and right on the beach with a wonderful view. Housekeeping was efficient and all staff were friendly and helpful. The restaurant was very good for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Beachside service from the bar/restaurant was wonderful.

My partner and I looked at SO many options before booking La Zebra. We wanted to experience Tulum in a relaxed way. After reading reviews (like this one, I hope!), we landed on La Zebra thanks to its humble, family-friendly, safe, and gorgeous location. A week or two before our stay, the concierge WhatsApped asking if we had any questions, needed transportation, or wanted help booking activities/restaurants. This was incredibly helpful and made us feel so welcome. Arriving at La Zebra is like a dream. The staff immediately welcomes you with complimentary drinks and gives you a quick tour of the grounds. Our room was SPOTLESS, big, and gorgeous for the two of us. The bed was very comfortable, the AC worked like a charm and the shower, well, I'll let you see for yourself. My partner was on the fence about getting the plunge pool LOL we used it every single day, multiple times a day. The staff maintained the water, foot bath, and area around the pool. This is your sign: get the plunge pool. Each room opens to the direction of the ocean, with a few overlooking the ocean. We didn't get a room with a view, but in fact, we liked it better because it offered us the privacy we wanted. All plunge pool rooms are on the ground floor-- it's like walking out into paradise. The staff is incredible, warm, hardworking, and so friendly-- the waiters, cabana crew, front desk, room service, and everyone in between. The food is SO FRESH, local, and made with love. Will return soon <3

Family vacation

We absolutely loved our stay at La Zebra. We were a family of 4 (child ages 16 and 11). We stayed in the ground floor beachfront suite which was LITERALLY right on the beach. It was beautiful, very high quality, excellent service, and really peaceful. It was quiet at night. The location was fantastic - walking distance from all the best restaurants but far enough away from the beach clubs to avoid the noise. There was a small pool upstairs by the bar. We wished there was a public use hot tub since we didn't have one in our suite. The staff were very helpful and helped with transportation and excursions. We felt very safe the entire time.

Very well run resort. The staff are amazing. The rooms are nicely sized. The resort is centrally located in town. The restaurant is very good. They keep everything very neat and orderly and clean, including the rooms. Although the hotel lacks a gym and a really nice big pool the beach is incredible and the lower price makes it all very worthwhile.
