Great option if you are looking to stay in Tulum center. Parking onsite, convenient to many good restaurants, nice pool and lobby to hang out, and rooms modern and clean with great AC. Hard to beat the price and quality here.

Spacious room and very clean. Staff are very friendly and I had great experience here. But it’s kinda far from the main road and hard to catch a cab. The floor is bit thin so you can hear people walking around

This hotel is truly a GEM! The staff was fantastic and welcoming. The attention to detail they paid in the decor, pool, location, and friendliness of the staff was impressive! We stayed for 4 nights and had a wonderful time. Be sure to have breakfast across the road! We will absolutely comeback someday! Thank you!!!

My stay at the Little Gem Hotel in Tulum La Veleta was a welcome surprise after a last-minute change of plans forced us to cancel our Airbnb. From April 5th to 7th, the hotel proved to be an excellent alternative, offering exceptional service and support that truly enhanced our Tulum experience.
What truly stood out was the hotel's commitment to going above and beyond for its guests. The staff was incredibly helpful in arranging transportation, which was a huge relief given our unexpected situation. Their assistance didn't stop there; they also provided excellent recommendations for local excursions, ensuring we didn't miss out on any of Tulum's must-see sights. The recommendations for restaurants were equally valuable, leading us to some truly memorable dining experiences.
In short, the Little Gem Hotel provided a level of support and local expertise that transformed a potentially stressful situation into a seamless and enjoyable vacation. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable stay with outstanding concierge-level service in Tulum.

Beautiful new boutique hotel in Tulum. Super helpful management. Only 9 rooms in total, so very private. Loved the indoor/ outdoor lobby/ courtyard/ pool space. Little cafe opposite was great for breakfast before going to the ruins too.

Great location just 7min walk to town center. The hotel only has 9 rooms so its a great place to truly be able to relax in a pool not full of people. Staff member Dario was extremely helpful, was able to get us a great deal on a cenote tour as well as transportation. Will definitely return to this hotel.

This is truly a gem of a small boutique hotel and this was our second of I’m sure many visits to this property. It’s the design, the pool and most importantly the staff who make this our home away from home in Tulum. We came in November for our anniversary and birthdays and again the trip we returned to Tulum because of this hotel and staff. They recommend the best of the best in Tulum and have a wide variety of knowledge of the area and are food and experience lovers themselves so they know where to send you and can call ahead for any tips of the moment for guests. Stay here, it’s a dream of a hotel and with only 9 rooms, you have their utmost attention!

The staff at the property were amazing! Romina gave me a ride into town one day and Brenda was also really helpful. They are both amazing women. The hotel itself is so darn cute! They have cute rooms with Edison lights and the pool is great. The road is really pot holey so be prepared for that. My taxi driver called them Tulum cenotes when it rains. It is a little far from town but they have restaurants and shops around there. It's a great place to stay I'd you want quiet. I will definitely book it again if I go back to Tulum!

I must say this hotel was a pleasant surprise!! It is definitely a place to go if you just want to unwind, reset and relax. The staff is extremely accommodating. They made sure that our every need was met. They offered services such as calling for a cab, Ordering breakfast, Readily having scooters and bikes available. The room was clean and smelled extremely fresh. All of the amenities are new. They checked in daily to make sure that all of our needs were being meet. All of the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. The setup is like an airbnb, except you have the option for hotel amenities and services. I will absolutely book here again!! The ambiance is very boho, and relaxing at night. It's a beautiful sight!!

The room itself is worth the money.
However, the location is super terrible. You can find an electric wire hanging halfway in front of the door. The location is far away from the main street so it's very expensive to take a cab. The taxi driver cursed every time for the terrible road condition and obviously we were not happy listening to complaints as well.
If you want to save money, consider the potential cost taking cab too. It's gonna be $20 - $50 for each one way trip wherever you go.

Nice quiet stay near Tulum center. The room was very clean and spare. A large comfy bed and complimentary Nespresso espresso pods and cookies and waters. This small hotel is located in a quiet section off the main Avenida. The side roads are rough and bumpy and get filled with large pools of water during rain. It’s also about a 15-20 min taxi ride to the very busy beach strip. Tulum is rather pricey - meals and regular things to buy. It doesn’t have the mega sprawling resorts of Cancun and Ixtapa, thank goodness, but is undergoing what feels like hyper frenzied development.
The hotel is in a quiet area known as La Veleta. The staff that we encountered - Nestor and Enrique - were terrific and very helpful.
