Tulum has changed. Once a small-scale bohemian escape, the Caribbean destination has since morphed and grown into something different — and potentially better for some travelers. A case in point is Hilton Tulum Riviera Maya, a hotel delivering accessible all-inclusive beachfront grandeur to visitors of the Riviera Maya. Since opening in 2022, the property has established itself as a standout in the Riviera Maya market. Set on a secluded white sand bay, the hotel delivers 13 restaurants, world-class spa treatments, and cultural programming — in other words, everything that makes Tulum worthy of a visit.

Ahead is a full overview of the Hilton Tulum Riviera Maya

Natural, Secluded Setting & Rooms

Close your eyes, picture Tulum, and there’s a good chance it looks a lot like the Hilton Tulum Riviera Maya’s location. The hotel is nestled in a secluded bay between a white sand beach with blue Caribbean water and a lush jungle.

When booking, you’ll have the choice to choose between views of the jungle or the ocean (oceanview rooms are pricier, of course). The hotel’s 735 rooms and suites are spread out across several two-story, villa-style buildings, giving each area a laid-back, intimate feel.

Hilton Tulum Riviera Maya also offers a premium “Enclave” room category that includes private check-in and check-out, rooms in preferred locations, and a concierge. Enclave guests also get access to a private pool and lounge, exclusive dining options, and priority access to wellness activities and fitness classes.

Dining

When you’re staying in an all-inclusive resort, food options can make or break the trip. Luckily, food options are plentiful — and high-quality — at Hilton Tulum Riviera Maya. The sprawling resort includes 13 restaurant and bar options, offering everything from a steakhouse to Mexican and Asian restaurants. Most of these offer an outdoor or indoor-outdoor experience, ensuring maximum enjoyment of the resort’s fresh, salty air and sunshine.

Amenities & Activities

Hilton Tulum Riviera Maya has all the on-site amenities you’d expect from a resort, like fitness facilities (including yoga and meditation), games, and multiple pools, but it’s the access to other local amenities that really make the hotel stand out.

Guests have access to certain amenities at Conrad Tulum Riviera Maya, a four-star resort located next door on the beach. The Conrad Spa — an award-winning Forbes 4-star rated spa — features premium spa treatments, including both classic massages and a hydrotherapy pool, as well as locally inspired rituals and ceremonies. In short, it’s a holistic experience — one that can be added to their Hilton all-inclusive stay. There are also cultural experiences, like a Mexican embroidery workshop for guests looking to learn more about the region’s culture in a fun, productive way.

For wine enthusiasts, the resort’s sommelier can take guests on a tour of the nearby wine region alongside delicious hors d’oeuvres. Golf lovers can partake in a PGA Championship Golf Experience at the nearby PGA Riviera Maya, a beautifully designed course through the jungle that’s great for both beginners and seasoned players.

There are also plenty of nearby cultural attractions, including Chichen Itza (one of the seven wonders of the world) and Gran Cenote, a stunning limestone cenote & cavern.
