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.

Amazing place, almost heaven on earth. Very good kitchen, cocktails and mood. Wonderful staff, always here to help or give good advices. No inconvenience related to night beach clubs (they are far) or the electrical generators (not close to the rooms). What a relaxing place. The boat tour in the reserve is a thing to do. If you want to stay more than 2/3 days, you should have a car to move around.

What was missing to give it a score of 11/10? We found it a pity that the seaweed wasn't removed right in front of the private beach (although we understand that this is the case during the high season). Also, perhaps the Wi-Fi connection on the beach could be improved (unless it's intentional in order to force guests to disconnect!). A few new bikes could also be added to the fleet. And although the food is of exceptional quality, the price is high (although the geographical distance must also be taken into account). The wine menu (100% Mexican) would also benefit from being expanded. But all this in no way takes away from the fact that we had an incredible stay! Thank you to all the team!

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.

There is no hotel here, just 9 guest rooms arranged on a lovely, private beach-front property inside the Kian Sa'an Biosphere Reserve! You wake up hearing the sea. You go to sleep hearing the sea. The most difficult decision you'll make every day is what to have for your next meal. The food was wonderful!

Distance (driving times) to some sites we wanted to visit was longer than we expected. Not a problem. We had more beach time.

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.
