My partner and I fell in love with this little hotel! We stayed four nights in the #4 room. The view was breathtaking, as it is the room closest to the water. It was so romantic to lay in bed and look out the balcony to the ocean. Pure perfection. The room was maintained so well--cleaned to perfection each day... More

The lovely Piedra Escondida hotel offered the perfect combination of beautiful location and excellent service to ensure a relaxing and truly satisfying Riviera Maya vacation experience. A great place to unwind from busy schedules and move to the leisurely pace of the Caribbean. The hotel is located on the northern Tulum beachfront. It has a quieter private beach with deck... More

We spent 4 nights at the Piedra escondida. We had a lovely view of the ocean from our room and the room was big, clean and with a safe. The girl at the reception spoke good english was extremly helpful and gave us great tips. The only two downsides are the quite poor breakfast and the poor WiFi conection.

Only down side was it was a little noisy with traffic from windows being open. Food was good, drinks too! Beach is beautiful, a little rocky but worth the... More

Stayed at Piedra Escondida (PE) in early April 2013. Was chosen based on recommendations in both Lonely Planet and on Tripadvisor. And it didnt disappoint at all. Let me just start by saying that this more of your eco/beach shack style accommodation. In no way is it a large resort style establishment. However, the food and hospitality would rival all... More

Very nice little hotel with only 8 double rooms. Situated directly at a beautiful beach at the outskirts of Tulum you find all you need for a relaxed stay. The beach is covered with fine, white sand and nicely decorated with hammocks and beach chairs. It is circumfenced by some rocks with nice view. On one of these you can... More

The other balcony next to the front door was large with another two wooden chairs and a hammock. The bed was very large and comfortable with a mosquito curtain. There is a sofa and coffee... More

This small boutique hotel really is beautifully located on the beach. The rooms are spacious and well maintained. The service is excellent and the staff is very friendly. This is a perfect place to stay and lie in a hammock watching the waves and enjoying a fantastic mojito. The restaurant has a fantastic view on the beach and sea. A... More

The hammock, the balcony, the beach, the bar, the beautiful and large rooms. Piedra Escondida has it all. The owner was a boisterous and generous Italian man who came here and built this place years ago, I think in the 90s. Ulises makes the meanest, most delicious mojito in Tulum. All the staff were excellent and personable. The breakfasts I... More

Tulum is full of small boutique hotels, so choosing one can be difficult. The beach community is actually larger than one might think and a car or taxi is required to move from one area to another, so choice of location can impact cost. Hotel Piedra Escondida is small, as other similar boutique hotels and shares a somewhat private beach... More
