Libelula embodies chic yet unpretentious barefoot luxury. From the perfect bed to velvet sand, through lush gardens, to hammocks in palms, glorious beanbag beach loungers, and warm turquoise water, from groovy music, evening conversation at the intimate thatch bar, to complete solitude, Libelula has it all. Thank you George, Armando, and the rest of the staff-cheers to the cooks for extra amazing grilled shrimp quesadillas, huevos with pumpkin seed salsa, the best tortillas ever! We had a blissful time!! Until next time! Alice and Steve Philadelphia PA, USA

Amazing experience especially when you are looking for a chill relaxing vibe vacation. Close to nature, away from the busy side of Tulum. You get a private beach within seconds and not too crowded. It's literally so peaceful. Staff is so great. The rooms are kept cleaned everyday. No issues and there is also AC and a fan inside. Food is super delicious with great portions. The person who works at the bar is very knowledgeable when it comes to drinks! 10/10 would recommend and would come back again! The greatest experience and Im glad we did not do the basic all inclusive. You won't regret coming to this place.

Libelua is a great property in every way. Small, low-key atmosphere removed from the hectic hotel zone. Pristine tropical beach setting with an amazing staff that make you feel like a special guest and a welcome friend. Top-notch food and drinks as well. Our four-night stay was perfect.

Our stay at Libelula was not only more than what we were expecting, it was exactly what we needed. A total disconnect and an absolutely spectacular escape. The location is incredible, and the site is amazing. But more than this, the team and the vibe are something of a cross between incredible night out at a sophisticated boutique hotel and a glamping hideaway in a nature reserve. The service, the tempo, the food, the comfort are all spot on. We will definitely be coming back! Noam

Libelula on Expedia is listed as a hotel when in reality is a glorified camping. The star rating of this place should one not four as listed as well. No AC in the room even with the door open it’s impossible to sleep (humidity is pretty high in November), uncomfortable humid pillows and old washed off towels, cigarettes and marijuana smell, generator provided electricity but not enough to use a blow dryer or charge phones. Someone made a decision to do a movie night until 11pm, the sound was so loud it felt like the speakers literally were inside the room. We stayed one night only of the initial four booked, moved to a real hotel for the rest of our stay. If you like to stay in a place suitable for nomads and hippies and don’t care to overpay, these shacks will meet your expectations. On the other hand, If you want real Hotel (four or five stars), Be Tulum, La Valise, Casa Malca, The Nest to name a few is the way to go.

Amazing!
I rarely ever leave reviews but I felt like I had to because this place was so special. You’re super close to everything but you feel like you’re in own secret slice of paradise. The beach is flawless, the food is amazing, the staff really cares about you and it feels like you’re sleeping directly on the beach if you get the ocean front room. I couldn’t recommend it more. Give it a try!

Magical place! An experience for sure. This is what a beach getaway should be. Incomparable views, beautiful private beach for miles, this is where you go relax, enjoy the ocean in their beach beds and cabannas, while you eat the most amazing, delicious , cooked in the moment food, and drink delicious cocktails! The staff is small, super friendly and personalized ( thank you to the host, owner, and bartender) they truly make you feel like youre hanging out with friends! The rooms are minimalistic yet cozy, gorgeous design, and the views are like no other, even the jungle views are beatiful and steps away from the ocean, we had the beach front room ( Highly recommend) you sleep with the beautiful breeze and sounds of the waves 3 steps away! As far as housekeeping our room was kept super clean at all times, and the property is very well kept, we witnessed them cleaning every night! Safety is great, its locked up and in a very safe, secluded spot inside a natural reserve! I would feel completely safe traveling here alone. It is on the pricier side if you are a drinker, but the food is honestly AMAZING!!! This place is truly a little piece of paradise! Book it, you will thank yourself you did. Cannot wait to come back with more time!
