This wonderful spot and we had a fantastic time. The cabins are clean, beds and sheets are soft and the beach is spectacular. The food and service is excellent. It’s different than your typical vacation spot. By the time we left the staff and other guests felt like friends and family. And there are cats!!

Libelua is a great property in every way. Small, low-key atmosphere removed from the hectic hotel zone. Pristine tropical beach setting with an amazing staff that make you feel like a special guest and a welcome friend. Top-notch food and drinks as well. Our four-night stay was perfect.

Amazing!

I rarely ever leave reviews but I felt like I had to because this place was so special. You’re super close to everything but you feel like you’re in own secret slice of paradise. The beach is flawless, the food is amazing, the staff really cares about you and it feels like you’re sleeping directly on the beach if you get the ocean front room. I couldn’t recommend it more. Give it a try!

Our stay at Libelula was not only more than what we were expecting, it was exactly what we needed. A total disconnect and an absolutely spectacular escape. The location is incredible, and the site is amazing. But more than this, the team and the vibe are something of a cross between incredible night out at a sophisticated boutique hotel and a glamping hideaway in a nature reserve. The service, the tempo, the food, the comfort are all spot on. We will definitely be coming back! Noam

Libelula Tulum Beachfront Hotel truly exceeded my expectations. We stayed for 10 glorious days. The rooms were tasteful and comfortable, with breathtaking ocean views nestled in the privacy and tranquil part of a nature reserve. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure every need was met. The beach was stunning, perfect for relaxation and sunset gazing. The food and drinks were delicious. I highly recommend this gem for a tranquil and unforgettable Tulum experience. A special thanks to Armandito who made us feel like family. You are a special type of human. Keep on doing what you do. Also thanks to Miguel, Mansour, Sam, George and Karla for making our stay memorable.

Libelula embodies chic yet unpretentious barefoot luxury. From the perfect bed to velvet sand, through lush gardens, to hammocks in palms, glorious beanbag beach loungers, and warm turquoise water, from groovy music, evening conversation at the intimate thatch bar, to complete solitude, Libelula has it all. Thank you George, Armando, and the rest of the staff-cheers to the cooks for extra amazing grilled shrimp quesadillas, huevos with pumpkin seed salsa, the best tortillas ever! We had a blissful time!! Until next time! Alice and Steve Philadelphia PA, USA

Amazing experience especially when you are looking for a chill relaxing vibe vacation. Close to nature, away from the busy side of Tulum. You get a private beach within seconds and not too crowded. It's literally so peaceful. Staff is so great. The rooms are kept cleaned everyday. No issues and there is also AC and a fan inside. Food is super delicious with great portions. The person who works at the bar is very knowledgeable when it comes to drinks! 10/10 would recommend and would come back again! The greatest experience and Im glad we did not do the basic all inclusive. You won't regret coming to this place.

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.

This is the place to stay if you are looking to disconnect and recharge. It is located in the Sian Ka An Reserve and about 1-2 miles away from the upscale restaurants and nightlife. There are bikes on site that we used when we ventured out. Armando went above and beyond to make this a great stay. From making restaurant recommendations and dishes to try to providing transportation, he really treated us like VIP’s!

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.

Paradise!! I stayed four nights and they were some of the most relaxing I have had in years. The location is close to the hotel zone but tucked away on a beautiful private waterfront property. Other than the sounds of waves on the beach and the birds in the morning, it is quiet and so peaceful. The grounds around the rooms are thoughtfully laid out with an intimate but open design. The rooms are elegant with a luxurious but authentic feel. The food is possibly the best in all Tulum. The Tuna Tostada is my favorite. Fresh with incredible flavor profiles, there's nothing I had that I didn't love and I'm pretty picky. The staff and management are incredibly kind and helpful. All in all, it was just what I needed. I will definitely return soon and have begun recommending this place to my friends!

2/10 Poor

Libelula on Expedia is listed as a hotel when in reality is a glorified camping. The star rating of this place should one not four as listed as well. No AC in the room even with the door open it’s impossible to sleep (humidity is pretty high in November), uncomfortable humid pillows and old washed off towels, cigarettes and marijuana smell, generator provided electricity but not enough to use a blow dryer or charge phones. Someone made a decision to do a movie night until 11pm, the sound was so loud it felt like the speakers literally were inside the room. We stayed one night only of the initial four booked, moved to a real hotel for the rest of our stay. If you like to stay in a place suitable for nomads and hippies and don’t care to overpay, these shacks will meet your expectations. On the other hand, If you want real Hotel (four or five stars), Be Tulum, La Valise, Casa Malca, The Nest to name a few is the way to go.
