My boyfriend and I just got back from Tulum this week. We stayed at Ocho Tulum for 4 nights. I highly recommend staying there. The setting met our high expectations and the accommodations exceeded them! We stayed in a King Suite with Ocean View. The view from our door and front windows was postcard perfect with the beach just steps away. The beach was very clean and well maintained in front of the hotel. The staff was incredibly accommodating. They gave us great suggestions for meals and activities and made every effort to ensure our stay was pleasant. John in particular was so helpful - thank you John! He runs the place and his positive attitude and careful management are apparent from the restaurant to the housekeeping to the front desk. Tucker, who built and designed the property, lives there and was also a great resource for us. He even lent us his kite - thanks Tucker! I am so glad we decided to stay at Ocho. The food in the restaurant was excellent - we could not get enough of the ceviche. I'd like to mention Armin in the restaurant as well - great service! I wish I could remember everyone's names because the entire staff was commendable. I would not change a thing about our stay and would definitely choose to stay at Ocho Tulum again.

My husband and I spent our honeymoon at Ocho Tulum last December. The hotel had just opened at that time so we were amongst the first guests.

If you look for exotic vacations, to disconnect from the stressful world, to relax and fall asleep at night with the sound of the waves it is definitely the perfect place to stay, no phone or TV in the room to bother you, it is sophisticated, clean and tasteful.
The beach is really the best of Tulum, it is quiet, and the sand and the sea are just beautiful.

The food was good, service was attentive and we had a really fantastic stay. We look forward to going back soon!

I think we were their first guests and I cannot speak more highly of the place. The beach is the best I have seen, the rooms comfortable and the staff most willing to please. We booked a little late and given it was Christmas / N.Y. we were supposed to leave after the 4th night of a 10 night holiday as all rooms were reserved. We had no luck finding any other accomodation, so the staff converted the spa into a room so that we could stay with them. That attention to detail / willingness to please is rare.
We also had the pleassure of making some good friends that I hope we'll stay in contact with for a very long time. Go before the secrets out!
