Very pleasant small hotel set back from the main road so there was not traffic noise, just the usual chickens and dogs. Although we had booked a room with a kitchenette that was not available, but we did have a refrigerator, which worked out fine for us. The room was spacious with a communal and comfortable sitting area on the... More

Spacious clean room, very friendly service and convenient location, close to main road but away from crowds, Breakfast is simple but okay. High season can be a little expensive .. but a safe clean option

Small hotel (only 11 rooms) close to the main road of Tulum, but still in a quiet area. It is a 15 minutes drive to the beach by car, 30 minutes by bike. The rooms are spacious, colourful, have a quiet A/C and a good working shower. The only disadvantage is the breakfast, which is the same every day and... More

Slept great. A/C is strong and quiet. Lots of homey accents. Great Price, no crawling feelings when i woke up. I especially loved the 3rd floor common area. Lots of fun potted plants and views of the pueblo. Be honest. You want to stay in a place with A/C. The beach cabanas are nice, but theres mosquitos and no A/C.... More

My room at the Hotel Residencia La Mariposa was surprisingly spacious especially when considering its very low rate. With a sitting room, kitchenette, sleeping area, balcony, and of course bath room, it felt more like an apartment. The bathroom was relatively small in proportion to the rest of the room, however. More important than its size and cost was its... More

This basic,clean and affordable hotel is one block east fo the "downtown strip". The room I had included a diningtable and chairs and a kitchenette that I didn't use since I only stayed one night and ate my meals downtown. I would definitely stay here again

This is a very nice and clean hostel on the outskirt of Tulum. Dirt cheap. Take a taxi to the beaches, Jose the taxidriver lives next door, and will be happy to take you there. Tulum beach 50 pesos and to Zebra beach, one of the best in Tulum 90 pesos

This was my second visit to La Mariposa, I've stayed several nights there while diving in the area. It is located in a Tulum neighborhood a couple of blocks off the main street (307). There is normal neighborhood noise such as barking dogs, and music but nothing that has ever kept me awake at night. Tulum is authentic compared to... More

We are currently staying at La Mariposa and are very happy with it. Hurricane Rina was bearing down on us but as we are away from the beach in a solid concrete hotel surrounded closely by other buildings we decided to wait it out. The staff were very concerned with our safety and did all the things needed to ensure... More
