Three Affordable Luxury Boutique Hotels In Tulum Jungle
Tulum, Mexico is constantly a hot spot for tourism. While you can certainly ball out in Tulum, it’s also a great place for an affordable luxury vacation. In 2024, the new Tulum Airport opened up making accessing the area that much easier. Visitors can now skip the 2-hour drive from the Cancun Airport and hit the tacos and ceravzas sooner. And Tulum is a special space, which requires a special place to stay. And a boutique hotel fits that bill. Boutique hotels typically are hotels with under 50-100 rooms and serious attention to design and hospitality. Here are three affordable luxury hotels located in the Tulum Jungle.
