Casa Altamar

The rooms were clean and very comfortable, and the staff was amazing. They went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking to relax. The beach is just a minute away, and the property features a pier with hammocks, a swimming pool, and boards for exploring the water.

We had a great stay at this boutique hotel with 11 rooms. What we liked: 1) Staff was outstanding: friendly and with great advice about the region. We had booked two rooms for our family and one of our rooms was upgraded to a full ocean front view. This was so amazing and appreciated. Thank you Arturo! 2) location: this hotel is North of Tulum center (a 10 minute drive up the highway towards Cancun). You will drive down a small dirt road off the highway and need to pass a gated checkpoint. Past the checkpoint, there are residences, villas, and a 2 small hotels as far as we could tell. It is very quiet compared to the Tulum Beach or Tulum Center. If you are looking for EDM beach parties, this is not the place. 3) setting: this hotel is right on the beach with a constant breeze so you are not uncomfortable. Beautiful views, beautiful big night skies, turquoise waters, quiet, kayak and paddle boards to get out to the reef. I recommend bringing water shoes as the shore is a bit rocky. The water was very warm when we were there in late March/early April (~27C/81F). There were zero mosquitos or flying insects when we were there. We snorkeled every day in front of the hotel. It was a lot of fun and we saw a lot of different kind of bright colored fishes and even got to swim with a stingray, which was such a cool experience. 4) food: we ate at the restaurant for breakfast twice and 3 times for dinner. They have a small menu and while the food is quite good, the sauces are a bit redundant between dishes so after eating there for dinner 3 nights in a row, we wanted another option on day 4.

This was by far the best hotel of our whole trip. The atmosphere is amazing, the view is beautiful, the people are incredibly nice and helpful without being too formal. They treated our baby as if it was their own child. It was simply amazing.

Great food. Friendly staff.

Casa Altamar is located at a secluded beach near Tulum. Very friendly staff. Beautiful room with spectacular views.

I was missing some vibes. I was hoping to eat a more refined 'a la carte' food at a reasonable price.

This hotel is in a stunning and peaceful location, away from the hustle of Tulum. The staff are helpful and the welcome drink was a lovely touch. The food in the restaurant was excellent.

Rooms, though comfortable, were a little sparse. An extra chair would have been nice - there was only one in a double. Also a fridge or coffee facilities in the room or lounge. This hotel is quite isolated, which though part of its charm, meant reliance on the kitchen being open.

<The hotel is fantastically located on the front row of the beach. Lovely place to be to rest and relax.

There was a party in the hotel next door. The first night was short. But they stopped the sound around midnight so that was acceptable !

This property is a few miles outside of Tulum away from the hustle and bustle and major touristy areas. It’s peaceful with a beautiful sandy beach that’s never crowded. Lounge chairs and umbrellas are provided by the hotel at no extra charge and the beach is meticulously raked every morning. There are corals and some rocks at the water’s edge but the dock gives you easy access to the turquoise waters for swimming and snorkeling. Paddle boards and kayaks are also available for free. The staff are exceptional. You arrive as strangers and part as friends. The restaurant serves delicious meals and the service is attentive and personable. There’s also a security post down the street so we always felt safe. A car is recommended. Casa Altamar is a very special special little hotel with a big heart.

Loved every part of our trip from our stay, to the friendly staff, to the food, to culture. The hotel was located in a quiet secluded bay. The ocean temperature felt like a warm bath. A must stay!

Food prices were similar to our NYC standards but the quality is excellent.
