The prices for food and drinks where extremely high. I am ready to spend money on good food and drinks but in this place it felt just bad to spend so much money on ordinary stuff. Thats the only criticism I have. The rest was perfect.

Perfect location in the natural reserve directly by the beach. Nice and relaxed atmosphere. Live music every night. The common bathrooms and showers were always very clean and desinfected. The staff was always very friendly.

With the deluxe tent, even a chair in the tent or small seating available just outside would be great! Difficult to figure out best way to get to the hotel as instructions weren't always clear. Would be great if hotel offered a shuttle (even for a fee) or something similar. Like other reviews, food in this area is very expensive. We found the food at the glamping restaurant ok. The best thing about the restaurant is its setting compared to others we went to. Other places along the beach served better quality food for around the same price in our opinion. We did enjoy matcha mama though for a healthy breakfast. A couple we liked were: - Casona (slightly cheaper, good portion size) - short 5 min walk within Playa esperanza - Mezzanine (Thai food and also a beach club menu) at the southern end of the beach - about 20 min walk. Great deck and tasty Thai food.

Beautiful spot by the beach and lovely landscaped facilities. Tent was comfortable and very glad to have had air con during the hot days. Shared showers and bathrooms were kept clean. Matcha Mama was a great option for smoothies and smoothie bowls in the morning. Enjoyed the live music that they had at the restaurant most nights. Nice addition to provide a free yoga class if you wanted it. A couple things that might be good to know for future travellers: - we caught a taxi to the entrance of the national park at the main hotel zone (zona hotelera) and it cost us $300 pesos. We then walked into the park, having to pay the national park fee. It was about a 2km walk. The hotel is not the easiest to find. You go through a stone archway on the right called Playa Maya, turn immediately left into a car park and walk all the way to the end. Reception is a small building on your right. -there are lots of options to rent a bike and that could be an alternative option to get into the park depending on luggage. - You do need to pay the national park entry fee every time you re-enter the park. We didn't leave the park as you can access the ruins from the national park and enjoyed a couple of days along the beach so we only paid the entry fee once. - there are lots of food options (see a couple of our preferences below) along the beach, most are on Google maps so within a short walk you can find other options if you were interested. - As others have noted, there is a minimum spend for the big day beds on site (which we were told was USD$50), but there are lots of other seating options that don't require any spend that guests can use for free (bean bags, lounge chairs, seating near the restaurant)

I wouldn't recommend it to people who don't want to go camping or have a shared toilet/shower.

The GlampIkal concept is wonderful. You sleep in contact with nature, hearing only the wind, ocean and birds. The tents are cozy and ours was 1 minute away from the sea front. The bar has live music or djs every evening and serves yummy food. The yoga lessons in front of the sea are a must as well! All cured in the small details. The common showers are clean and well kept.

The restaurant needs an overhaul in terms of inspiration for the service and the menu. I don't think it will change but hey there are lots of options around the hotel to dine. Therefore, deducted two points out of 10. The communal toilets and showers didn't work for a few days but they were quickly resolved in the morning. This is okay because the hotel is located in the restricted area limiting development of a typical resort infrastructure.

I stayed there for 8 days with an intention to be a beach bum 😁 and I was not disappointed at all with the choice. The location allowed me to swim, read and be on the beach. For me the location was great as my tent was the first one facing the beach therefore access to it was amazing. The receptionist, Camila who checked me in was very helpful. The staff responsible for the rooms cleaned it daily and also the security at night guarding access from the beach.

Paired back but substantial, simple but more than adequate. Reassuringly comfortable and wholesome. The atmosphere was perfect, relaxed and welcoming. A real sole cleansing and de stressing space.

We were in the son most of the daytime, so some cover (extended tent cloth or so) would have been nice. Also a little refrigerator would have been nice to keep our drinks and some yoghurt/veggies we normally eat as a snack, fresh.

We liked our tent a lot and the waterbassin to clean sandy feet before walking up to the tent was very nice. Bed was very good. We liked that it was quiet at 9:15-9:30 and no music heard anymore.

The only thing I would say would be that the food was quite expensive; I am a vegetarian, and even ordering simple items (quesadillas, for example) off the menu was still shocking. Each meal (with a couple of drinks) was over $100 USD for the two of us. There are not many options in the beach area for affordable eating, but you can't beat the location. The wifi was spotty but served its purpose when needed.

My partner and I had a wonderful and relaxing time at Ikal. The location can't be beat, and the community vibe was welcoming, comfortable, and very intentional. Anna was so helpful and fun to talk to - She offered us several suggestions on things to do, directions, and transportation and was genuinely so kind. Ikal was the perfect getaway with the best views and vibes. The space is beautiful and designed with care. We loved the live music and the gorgeous art pop up (Thank you Alejandro and @wild.child.tulum for the incredible overalls!) Tulum was far more expensive than we realized, but the location and people of Ikal makes it all worth it. We are so grateful for our time there and definitely will be back.

The price of the food is very expensive but equivalent to Tulum’s prices. However, it’s was very delicious, plates are beautiful and super healthy

Dreamyyyyy!!!! Its a magical place! The installations are very natural and beautiful! The beach is spectacular

Extremely expensive restaurant: The glamping has only one option for food and this is its restaurant, luckily we had free breakfast everyday. The downside of being so segregated from the city is that this is your only option to eat unless you rent a bike, scooter, or taxi to go somewhere else. 3 shrimp tacos were more than 20 Euros, for example, and renting the before mentioned items is not less than 10 USD. Restaurant staff: Tips were pretty much obligated, even if they said it was optional. Some would mention it was optional and others would just give you the option to add it. We had at least breakfast and dinner there 6 days of the 8 we stayed, and even if breakfast was said to be free they would try to charge you at least 7 USD on tips. After being pushed to pay a considerable tip in our first breakfast we started refusing and just giving tip in our dinners. This then turned into some waiters ignoring us in the mornings. Even worse, to our surprise they charged the tips to our room and at the check out we had a bill for all the tips we said no to...

1. The property is beautiful, well located and it is not breaking the nice scenery with a big concrete all inclusive building like Cancun. 2. The food in the restaurant: Was very good. Thanks to Booking we had free breakfast every day and we couldn't believe how good and substantious it was. 3. They have many activities per day, like Yoga or ice baths, even cacao culture. They also have tours to diverse touristic locations like Cenotes, Ruins or National Parks. 4. The girls that gave us service as staff: Lucia, Ana, Natyeri, and Camila were super nice and sweet with us, always up for giving a great service and recommendations.

I liked everything.

The property is right on the beach. You wake up and the sea is only a couple steps away. At the night you fall asleep to the roar of the sea. The restaurant played live soft music every day. They also have a yoga classes each day. I did Sadhana at 6:30 am and watched the sun go up. They also have activities for the kids and is a family friendly hotel.

Toilets a little too far away from beach side tents, making it tricky in the night. No reasonably priced bottles of water on sale. Food and drinks were expensive

Blissful relaxed vibe and didn't want to leave Next to beautiful beach and Caribbean Sea Whole site looks amazing and bohemian Delicious food Peace and quiet Cool yoga class Friendly restaurant staff Short walk to the ancient ruins

Amazing location next to the most beautiful beach in Tulum. As guests we wew allowed to use beds on the beach. The stuff was very thoughtful and the tent was quite big. If you don't mind sand and mosqitoes I highly recommend glamping!

The tent got so hot - there was a fan unit but it didnt do much. Bed wasnt very comfortable either.

Location was on the beach - incredible! The staff were so lovely and friendly. We did an inclusive yoga class which was fun. Good pool and lounging facilities. The food we purchased was wonderful - very tasty guac! The shared toilet/shower facilities were a lot better than i was expecting .
