Libelula Tulum Beachfront Hotel

Libelula Tulum is a true hidden gem. We’re so glad we chose to stay here over any of the other resorts—which often seemed three times the price, far more chaotic, and frankly, lacking that special something. Libelula is the opposite: an authentic, intimate, and safe retreat that feels like a well-kept secret. With its stunning beachfront location, beautifully designed accommodations, deliciously authentic food, and the heartfelt hospitality of Jorge and his incredible team, it stands out as a truly unique destination. We left with cherished memories and a desire to return to this slice of paradise. Jorge — a special shout out to you. You made our stay unforgettable. You welcomed us like family, and that warmth stayed with us long after we left. The way you, Manzur, Miguel, and the rest of the team care for each guest makes all the difference. If you’re looking for stiff, overly formal service, this isn’t the place — and that’s exactly why we loved it. The staff here are real, kind, and genuinely passionate about what they do, with loads of good stories to boot. If you’re considering a place to stay in Tulum that’s authentic, laid-back, has gorgeous beaches, amazing food, and even better people — this is it. You’d be crazy not to enjoy your experience here. Every single detail, from the vibe to the bean bags on the beach, is thoughtful, top-notch, and full of heart.

We had they best stay at Libélula, second time last month. The food and drinks are truly amazing as is the hospitality. Love the fact that is in the middle of nowhere so you can just relax and enjoy!! The beach and sea were clean so we got to go for a swim and chill at the beach! If you’re lucky you can see turtles come and lay their eggs at midnight, completely magical!!

A Hidden Gem That Feels Like Home After six trips to Tulum, we finally found a place we’d return to again and again. La Libélula isn’t just a hotel—it’s a feeling. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel like part of a family. Jorge welcomed us with a smooth check-in and was kind and available throughout our stay. Armandito curated the bar with intention and soul—only local Mexican spirits, honoring the region’s flavors and traditions. Sam - Hands down some of the best craft cocktails, Manzur - always made sure our food was always on point and received the best service. The food was equally memorable. From fresh, local breakfast options (and GF if that’s your thing) to the most flavorful ceviche and aguachile. Don’t forget to try the fish with the yucca puree for dinner. La Libélula is not about cookie-cutter luxury or robotic service. It’s about being seen, feeling at peace, and truly unwinding. The rooms are comfortable and spacious. It’s the kind of place that stays with you—where the people, the energy, and the care make it more than just a vacation. We can’t wait to come back.

Libelula is just paradies! Lovely people, delicious food. Put off you shoes open your soul and enjoy….

This is not a nice hotel. DO NOT BE DECEIVED, there are so many options available in the hotel zone that are much better. We arrived for a late check in, there was no one at the property beaides the security guard. We reserved a beach front terrace and got a bungalow in the back of the property. On top of that the room had no lockto which the hotel rep said not to worry.... how cpuld I sleep im a place without being able to lock my door? Skip the hassle, go somewhere else.

My stay at Libelula was truly wonderful! The hotel is located in the most pristine part of the Tulum beach, the staff is incredibly helpful and friendly, the food is excellent, and the rooms are beautiful. A real gem of a place, highly recommend !
