Fodor's Expert Review El Pez

Carretera Tulum–Boca Paila, Km 5.5, Tulum, Quintana Roo, 77780, Mexico Fodor's Choice

Editor's Note: This property is currently undergoing renovations.

Perched on the shores of Turtle Cove, this chic boutique hotel has elevated rooms with private balconies that catch the ocean breeze. The decor is predominately white with hints of turquoise, giving the place a clean, contemporary look. Fresh flowers and candles add a touch of class, and small details like the welcome coco mojito, beach bags, Molton Brown toiletries, and thermos of morning coffee (discreetly left at your door) are what make this charming property stand out from the rest. Choose a seafront room in the main building, or opt for one of six luxury cabanas, which can sleep up to four guests; El Pez also has a pair of beachfront homes for rent.
