Hidden gem!
We decided we wanted to stay one more night in Tulum so we booked Secret Garden and were not disappointed! It's peaceful, unique and very charming. The owner/manager is really kind and helpful and you can tell he takes a lot of pride in the hotel with many thoughtful touches - my favourite was the fairy lights on the swing in front of each room! While it is a very tasteful and lovely hotel, just bear in mind that it's not luxury - so expect a few mosquitos, small bathroom and a curtain to the bathroom rather than a door (attention new couples!). Also, for those driving there is parking on the street. Overall we were super happy with the hotel, and the price point can't be beat. I will definitely be staying on a return trip to Tulum!

PROS: For those looking for a boutique eco-lodge in downtown Tulum this is perfect. It's very close to the ADO bus station and restaurants but on one of the side streets so very peaceful at night. It has simple basic amenities like toiletries, towels, cups, dishes but no frills or extras. The staff are very nice and speak English well. They only have a few rooms so you will get plenty of attention. CONS: It should be noted though that some of the rooms have no A/C so if you are sensitive to heat this may not be for you. There are fans. The room I stayed in had no door to the bathroom, only a small curtain so there is not much privacy. The room has a thatch roof so you may hear animals or birds scurrying at night which took a little getting used to!

The bungalows are a nice large space for two people. They are sparsely furnished, but we spent most of our time away from the hotel exploring ruins and Cenotes. They do not have TVs or air conditioning so if you are lounge-in-the-room kind of traveler you may want a different place. Extremely friendly staff with great local food recommendations. Possibly the biggest deal breaker is that the bathroom door is only a curtain. If that is something you can overlook then I highly recommend this place as a lovely place to come home to after days of adventuring out.

Great little place with a beautiful garden area. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Night time security made it feel safe. It’s just a block from a great coffee shop and a local taco joint. My only complaint is that the pillows were very thick and very hard. I actually slept without a pillow most nights. But I would stay here during our next trip to Tulum.

What a dream!! This place is so magical, you’ll feel like you’re walking into an oasis. We loved hanging out in the garden every night. The rooms have all of the necessities, but you’ll really stay here for the garden :) also, we got great recommendations from Jerry! He was so kind and recommended the best things!! (Ask him where to go!) this is a great little spot in a good location of town!

Lovely Place to Stay in Town
If you're going to Tulum and staying in town, I would strongly recommend looking into this charming, tucked-away, centrally-located inn. The room was peaceful and clean, the owners and staff were helpful giving directions and information, and the garden is truly majestic.

Horrible experience !!
Arrived 1 am in the morning after a long flight from Europe. The first thing that jumped out of the bed was a cacroach when I lifted the towel. Went straight to the doorman and checked out. Horrible experience.

Rustic charm, friendly staff, central location
Secret Garden is just 2 blocks from the main road, so it is centrally located especially if you are on foot. The staff are friendly and helpful, even providing a brief orientation of the area, what to see and do and recommendations on where to eat and calling me by my name. The room itself is rustic, but clean. It can be a little noisy in the first room (traffic and music from neighbors), but perhaps not so bad farther into the property. The mattress was firmer than I prefer and had a little bit of a dip. No A/C but opening the window shutters just so and running the 3 fans made the heat and humidity bearable. There is a guard on duty at night. The central courtyard is a great place to sit and read and enjoy the sounds of the birds.

A Pleasant Stay
Secret Garden is well-run business with lovely staff, but don’t expect much more than a private room in a quality youth hostel. The garden is lush and the Secret Garden is at the end of a no through road. It’s relatively quiet and there was free parking outside the front gate for our hire car, but the properties immediately surrounding the establishment make it not somewhere you will want to hang around in. A walk to the main strip of restaurants and bars will take around 15 minutes, but there is a bunch of others along the way. Overall we had a pleasant stay, but next time we will stay at the beach or closer to main action in Tulum.

Tranquility in the heart of local Tulum
After you stay here, you will never decide to stay in a larger hotel again. Everything about this place is magical. The staff are exceptional in attending to your needs, the overgrown vines wrapped around trees are home to pretty local birds, and if you lay down on their hammock and close your eyes you will lose yourself in pure bliss. If you want a peaceful stay in a beautiful local hotel, this is it!!
