An oasis in Tulum

Casa Don Diego is a wonderful place to stay in now-overgrown Tulum. It is easy walking distance from the main strip and lots of restaurants and shops. Yet it is far enough away to be quiet and tranquil. The pool and grounds are lovely. The breakfast each morning is fresh and delicious. Stay at this well-run, comfortable hotel.

Tulum everything

Nice and very relaxing. Hospitable and informative host. Walking distance to the pueblo/downtown area. Quiet and nice nature around the complex. Enjoyed the pool and dining area. Outdoor kitchen had everything needed. Room was comfortable with large garden patio. Biked to both the beach and nearby cenotes. Safe and secure. Close to the ADO bus station. Will stay again and highly recommend.

This property is very unique. It’s like a little oasis. The owners are beekeepers and have some of their Melipona hives on site and offer experiences. They also have a small hidden chicken and duck yard which my teen loved. The food is made by a coffee company called Brew Tulum and the owners are an absolute joy to be around. The coffee was phenomenal and they also offer experiences. The food was fresh, and very unique served on beautiful pottery and in jarritos. We enjoyed the pool and the plantings and even took home a small jar of their Melipona ‘medicinal’ honey.

Fabulous homey stay

We loved Casa Don Diego. We were welcomed promptly and given a tour of the family run facility. The room was clean and comfortable. The hotel is at the end of the strip on a residential street so quiet. Breakfast in the morning was homemade bread, eggs, the owners honey and coffee at a modest cost for what you get. Close to the street vendors plaza for food in the evening. Pool was clean and refreshing. If you want an affordable quiet place for family or a couple, I highly recommend Casa Don Diego!

Rooms are very basic but also very clean. Staff was great throughout our stay and very helpful when needed. Food is good and the free breakfast did its job. Pool area is small but it never got crowded. The hotel is only a short 5min walk from the center. Can highly recommend this hotel!

Loved this hotel

Monica made us feel so welcome. Check-in was a breeze. The room was small but perfectly comfortable. The sink was outside the bathroom, which made it easier to use than it if had been inside the bathroom. Our shower was circular, tiled, and had a skylight at the top. The patio was so lovely, surrounded by bamboo. In the morning the birds were all singing. We felt like we were in the jungle.

An in-town oasis!!

A lush and relaxing setting with great cocktails and a lovely breakfast with homemade jams and eggs farmed right at the hotel. A fascinating bee education facility maintained just like the Mayans did centuries ago! A pool that is open all night long and very attentive and friendly staff and owner. You must try Don Diego, we can't wait to go back!!

Location excellent easy walking distance to town centre yet quiet side road location. Large room , felt some furnishings would benefit with an update. Pillows uncomfortable very hard.

Great hotel, fantastic restaurant food!

Tulum is a bit weird as the town's main strip is on a busy dual carriageway (the main road to Cancun) and the beach is a 3 mile drive or taxi ride away. However, the Hotel is tucked 100 metres back in a quiet side road and you forget the main road is there. This place is beautiful. Lovely rooms set in tropical gardens with a decent size pool and their own bee hives tucked away at the back. lovely to walk out onto your patio and sit in the hammock strung there. Only slight criticism was the lack of a fridge in the room although there is a communal fridge outside one of the rooms. Highlight of our 2 night stay was dinner in their restaurant (so good we ate there both nights, which we rarely do anywhere!). Great quality, great flavours, great service and great value. Highly recommended particularly if you have your own transport although there were lots of bikes to hire if you're feeling energetic enough to cycle to the beach and Tulum ruins which are not to be missed. Loved it!

Clean, comfortable, private hotel in town

Excellent quick-serving staff, clean rooms, nice public areas with lots of trees and privacy. Pool & dining area was nice. Free breakfast was excellent. Cheap rates, room spartan but well taken care of, hotel located in town (not by the beach) means its convenient to many restaurants & bars, but requires taxi ride (or long bike ride) to get to exquisite beach areas. Overall very solid experience for the price.
