Most striking feature:
Can we change that question in: ‘where do you want to go on a lovers trip?’ I’ve to admit that this is the most romantic spot I’ve seen during my trip to Mexico in March. Tulum consists of a strip of hotels – all directly on the beach. The more you drive to the south, the more beautiful the hotels (and the beach looks more unspoiled and the water even more clear). I didn’t stay at Be Tulum (I visited Mexico with two girls and this is more a place to go with your boyfriend), but we had dinner in their lovely restaurant. The service is superb – and the strawberry dessert we tried was delicious. The rooms were pretty, spacious and all included a plunge pool.
(I used the professional photos of Designhotels.com where you can book this hotel, the photo at the bottom is mine)

3 reasons to stay here:
- Because you’ll find one of the most beautiful swimming pools in the world – on the 3rd floor. With excellent views over the city.
- If you like a bit of history. The building dates from 1884 – the color purple is used because it’s the color of the Bishop.
- If you like food: the chef of the restaurant worked for Pujol in Mexico-city.

Most striking feature:
The rooms. They’re wonderful. That’s because of the tadelakt on the walls and floor and the huge drawing on the wall. You have a little terrace for yourself (including a hammock ofcourse). The bathroom is open. And that can be a problem (especially if you’re travelling with a photographer and stylist like I did) because you want some privacy if you really need to go to the toilet. But that’s a common thing in the Riviera Maya. One tiny bit of negativity: the restaurant is awful. You will wait hours for the food to come and then it’s raw or cold. So prepare yourself and go somewhere else.
From 85 euro a night. Check out: www.playaazultulum.com

3 reasons to stay here:
- Because they have pink pool chairs – and that’s something every girl loves.
- Because the whole atmoshphere (from the outside bar to the swimming pool) feels like you’re in a filmset of the 50’s.
- Because every room has it own hammock. We have to say that’s quite common in Mexico, but still… love it!
