We are long time Tulum visitors - from back when it was Palapas on the beach. We heard that Tulum was trendy and developed that it lost its charm. So we stayed in another part of Mexico but unfortunately (or fortunately as it worked out) there was such a seaweed problem that we were forced a hasty retreat and needed... More

We stayed at S&S Hip Hotel in December 2011 for a friend's wedding. We could not book at La Zebra where the wedding was held, so S&S was another suggestion. We booked a "garden view" room but were given a beachfront view room. The view was incredible! I can't remember which room it was, but it was a second floor... More

This hotel is right by the beautiful Tulum beach. Be prepared for a relaxing stay with not much to do. We stayed for 8 nights which may be a little bit too long since there are not much to do around. No problems though to take a taxi to the city for a dinner, diving, renting bikes nearby to get... More

Hit the road is worthy! If you are looking for a not too busy, on the beach hotel with service and professionalism. Don't look any further! You find it here. The hotel is on the beach with a limited number of rooms offering all services. Clean, customer oriented and delicious food. Room has safe and lobby a ATM. Recommend it... More

We love to go camping in the summer in Canada, and to be honest that is as much wilderness as I need, but I like a few notches above that when I vacation in the Caribbean, and I have to admit, Hip is probably as rustic as I can take it :) You still get that cabana feel, but without... More

If you find simplicity is beauty, you'll like this place. I didn't have to take down bad art or put plastic plants in the closet. I loved the thatched roof, wood slats over the windows, stone shower stall and hammock on the all natural deck. The top floor partial ocean view from our bed in cabana#6 was stunning even though...

Seven nights in Tulum did not seem like long enough. The staff at the Hip Hotel was friendly, attentive and so extremely helpful. The property is very pretty and located on the southern part of the beach strip (which is a bit more quiet). I stayed in a 2nd floor ocean view room (#23) which was perfect. All I could... More

I reserved a superior garden room view and we arrived they put us up in the Best Ocean front view room for 1 week. I had left the safe open and everything was still inside. I had an ipad and all of our passports and cards. Unbelivable. The staff is so trustworthy! The staff was friendly when we arrived and... More

Me and boyfriend spent two nights out of five here. A walk on the beach showed us so many small, beautifully decorated hotels with charm and personality, and after one day, we realized we didn't want to spend any more time in a hotel that the owners don't really seem to care about. The Hip Hotel is owned by Ana... More

We booked on a gamble - purely on gut feel from the internet. But enjoyed our stay and would recommend to any couple looking for a quiet, rustic getaway in a beautiful part of Mexico. Wouldn't recommend to a family/group looking for a beach bar, activity and a vibey hotel! Pros: Beautiful beachfront with plenty of thatch umbrellas, sun loungers... More
