La Conchita Tulum

Superb view! We saw turtles nesting on the beach under our room every night we were there and even released baby turtles into the sea Luis was so friendly and helpful - such a great stay! Thank you!

Just be aware that there is no breakfast - not a problem though as plenty if cafes/ shops near by Also, be aware that you can’t really go in the sea because if the seaweed - this didn’t bother us at all

Room was large and facing the ocean, right by the beach. The large balcony on the second floor made it awesome to enjoy the view. There is also a rooftop terrasse on the 3rd floor to enjoy the stars at night of for more privacy enjoying the sun and tanning during the day. Sleeping with the windows open made it so fun to sleep to the sound of the waves crashing on the beach, and having some wind during the night. The vibe of the hotel is as on the pictures. Fun, relax and unpretentious. We loved it. The beach was small and cozy and uncrowded. Nice restaurant options at walking distance. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. There was free parking available for us right in front of the hotel which made it very convenient considering parking space is challenge in Tulum, and quite expensive. Wonderful turtle egg laying experience at night right in front of the hotel. Sea turtles came every night to lay their eggs, and hatchlings from one nest came out to reach the ocean (we were there mid August). We loved our stay and would gladly go back again (despite the sargassum, see below).

Little improvements: - Roof needed a check to fix minor water infiltration during rain. - Fridge is basic and upgrading to a model with a small freezer would have been highly useful. As for all beaches in Tulum, we had to deal with a massive sargassum problem which made swimming in the ocean not really possible. The water was all brown and beaches were loaded with *literally* tons of sargassum. Tulum's beach cleanup staff came almost every morning to pick it up, but more sargassum kept coming to the point that significant quantities were already accumulating on the beach before the staff was even done picking up what was already there. Watch for sargassum season before booking.

A basic room with AC. The staff are friendly, especially Julieta.:)

I would not recommend visiting this beach area during the summer, as the sea conditions make swimming impossible. The hotel is significantly overpriced; you would be much better off staying in the city center for half the cost. Additionally, there was a persistent cleanliness issue, with cockroaches appearing in my room few times during my staying.

Location right on the beach

Supposed to have a private beach but it's just two rows of beds and they are operated by the bar next door. Two days were ruined for us because they let some noisey groups use the beds. Loud music and weed. Shower was weak and no bathroom tissue to go in the toilet.. don't know if this is everywhere in Tulum beach. ....and Tulum beach is full of the Insta crowd taking selfies. Drinks and food at London prices and cabs minimum 20 Euro to go 5 minutes. Avoid the whole area if you can. Shabby Chic was a 90s thing anyway.
