Sweet location on one of our top 5 beaches we've ever experienced. Swim with a view of a Mayan Temple, sweet. The rustic cabanas are nestled in an extensive dune field. The facilities are in a poor state of repair and offer no tangible amenities. EG, don't even expect towels although sheets are provided. When I inquired about getting towels,... more

If you just come to laze on the beach and do not care about the comfort of your accommodation, this is the place for you. In my opinion, this hotel has got the best beach location in the whole of Tulum. The beach is beautiful, wide and clean here, and absolutely gorgeous. The hotel itself is a bit worn around... more

I had been given many great reports about Tulum. I spent the first night in Tulum town, which was a mistake. It was a waste of time. I should have headed straight for the beach. There is no point at all at staying in town. If you go to Tulum, only stay in a Cabana - otherwise you miss out... more

I stayed at Zazilkin with my boyfriend for 4 nights in June and it was one of the best parts of our trip. If you're not looking for the 'all inclusive' resort vibe, and wanting something more basic and off the beaten track then this is the perfect place. It was quiet when we were there. Maybe 2 other couples... more

We had originally booked into a hostel in Tulum town and planned to move to Zazilkin the next day, but after we went and looked at Zazilkin we checked out of the first place and into here. It's right on the beach and the views of the turquoise blue Caribbean are just gorgeous. The huts are pretty basic but really... more

We took a taxi from Tulum to Zazilkin and met two girls that we met on the bus walking out (not a good sign) there were cabanas left, however when we asked the price, were quoted 50 pesos more than the girls that had turned away, who were quoted 100 pesos over the Lonely planet price. The guy on reception... more

We showed up in Tulum without any place booked. First deception, all the prices are in US dollars...not in pesos... and all is waaaay more expensive that the rest of our trip in Yucatan. So once we accepted the fact that the price of the hotel or cabana in Tulum will be easy 3 times more than our hotel in... more

After a month traveling across Mexico and staying mainly in hostel we came to Tulum to end our trip on the beach for a week of relaxation. After a nights sleep we started scouting for anything else as Zazil Kin gives that feeling of sleeze. The woman who owns it is a slum lord. She keeps a security guard around... more

This place is great for young people, especially as a stop during a backpacking trip. Positives: right on the beach, very 'primal' feel that makes you feel close to nature (something you would not get in a hotel), your own cabana with mosquito net beds, coconut trees everywhere (you can ask the staff to break the coconuts for you!), mellow... more

I travelled throughot Mexico and found the most pleasant, friendly people everywhere. EXCEPT Zazil Kin! The first thing that you meet there is an aggressive, smirking, ignorant [--] of a receptionist! Also, the place is largely overpriced. Only thing I can say is: never again and hope you won't do the same mistake as I did. more
