Little Gem exceeded my expectations. The staff were so helpful. They arranged our airport transfers, booked tours for us, had mopeds or atvs to rent at reasonable prices, and bikes free to use. Rooms were clean, coffee maker in room, even beach towels. Close to many restaurants and the best coffee and cafe right across the street. Don’t hesitate to book your stay here!

We stayed 7 nights at Little Gem Hotel in Tulum (Early April), located in the La Veleta neighbourhood. This was our very first vacation in Mexico, so we don’t have much to compare it to—but our experience was fantastic. We chose this hotel based on its price, location, and the most recent reviews, and it definitely lived up to expectations. The staff were incredibly helpful, the rooms and pool were consistently clean, and the location was perfect—especially if you enjoy great food, whether authentic or fusion. Nestor and Mayumy went above and beyond to help us discover the area. They recommended excellent restaurants and guided us to beautiful beaches, cenotes, and lagoons. The hotel also offers free bike rentals, and affordable scooter rentals can be easily arranged through the front desk, which made getting around very convenient. We would absolutely love to come back in the near future.

I can't speak highly enough of my experience! From the moment I arrived, the staff was nothing short of spectacular. Their warm welcome and genuine friendliness made me feel right at home. What truly stood out was their extensive knowledge of the area. They offered fantastic recommendations for restaurants, local sights, and activities, which greatly enriched my stay. Every suggestion was spot on, enhancing my experience and allowing me to discover hidden gems I wouldn't have found on my own. The hotel's amenities were top-notch, and my room was both comfortable and impeccably clean. I truly felt pampered throughout my stay. I highly recommend [Hotel Name] to anyone looking for a memorable getaway. The exceptional service and the dedication of the staff make this hotel a true standout! I can’t wait to return!

Friendly staff, lovely clean room with a balcony overlooking the pool. Hot shower, fridge, coffee and milk frappe with complementary biscuits every day, beach/pool towels. Fresh water available in the lobby with percolated coffee. Kitchen available to use with a microwave, toaster and kettle. We bought our own breakfast but there was a cafe just across the road. Location very good for walking to lots of restaurants. Free cycles available but as we had a car no need to use. We drove to Jaguar park to access the Tulum ruins and used the electric cars to get around. We also went to the Niken beach club (300 pesos pp minimum spend) and a tour to the Biosphere nearby. Great stay, the road to the hotel has got large holes but this is only for about 100 yards so not really a problem if you drive slow.

​We spent 10 days at the Little Gem in Tulum, and it truly lived up to its name! It was a fantastic experience from start to finish, and we would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a boutique feel in Mexico. ​What we loved: ​Aesthetic & Cleanliness: The hotel is visually stunning with a great design. Our room was consistently spotless throughout our entire stay. ​Exceptional Staff: The team was incredibly friendly. Whenever we had a question, they provided helpful answers immediately. ​Great Amenities: Having free bicycles available was a huge plus, and the on-site scooter rental made exploring so much easier. ​Location: It has excellent connections to the various trendy neighborhoods and "scene" areas of Tulum. ​A small note for improvement: ​The only minor downside was the pool area. During our stay, it wasn’t quite as clean as the rest of the hotel, and the water seemed a bit murky/unclear. ​Overall Verdict: Despite the pool, we had a very wonderful stay. The atmosphere, the service, and the convenience of the location made our trip special. We would definitely come back!

Little Gen Hotel is truly a little gem. The property is quiet, aesthetic, and has a private & romantic vibe. It is a little paradise amidst the busy streets that surround it. The property has a gate/door and is surrounded by a wall that underscores its safety. Above all, though, the staff was outstanding. All of the attendants were extremely kind, gave us great recommendations for things to do nearby, and were very accommodating to our requests. We visited for our honeymoon, and once they found that out they decorated our room which was also a very kind and personal touch. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel.

The rooms very clean and we never felt unsafe at this place. The staff was always willing to help and offer suggestions and advice for places to go and things to see.

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!
