This hotel was great for us, we were travelling on a budget so although it is a little way from the town and beach, being between the two and making use of the free bicycles was ideal. The staff were very relaxed and friendly. The wifi tended only to work in the main foyer rather than in the rooms but... More

Tulum has turned into some expensive hippy hangout.... Staying in a hotel is likely to cost more here than in playa del carmen now, but its worth it for the beaches, ruins and easy trips to coba and chichen. El up to is a good choice, but don't expect anything spectacular. The owner is very chilled out but does not... More

My girlfriend and I stayed for 3 nights last february. After that we stayed in a Resort right in the beach, and I can say that El punto is the smarter choice at Tulum. The hotel and the rooms are nice and very comfortable, and you have free bikes to go wherever you want very easily. That includes the beach... More

This hotel was absolutely wonderful.... We stayed 7 days and had a very easy peaceful time. Very nice communal kitchen, breakfast included with room rates. We stayed in a room with extra large king size bed and private bathroom/shower. Met many single travelers who stayed in the dormitories which were clean and roomy. Maid service was excellent. Owner is friendly... More

El Punto is located next to a large road with lots of traffic. Next to the reception, they have placed some kind of compressor that goes on and off all the time making a lot of noise; this is the kind of place you just want to get away from unless you like the sound on engines. The rooms are... More

We had a good time here. If you're staying in town, the location is great -- at the beginning of the bike path to the beach, so you just jump on their free bikes and go without weaving through town traffic. You can walk into town for dinner in 10 minutes and there's a big supermarket across the street. The... More

The hotel is ok but basic, probably a good option for a cheap hostel bed but not for the $215 (after tax) nightly rate paid for a room over New Year. Service was friendly and the room clean, colorful and comfortable. It was great to have bikes to ride to the beach, town and ruins. But... -the booking process was... More

We were unsure whether to choose a hotel by the beach (expensive, away from the best restaurants) or the town (further from the beach). We settled on El Punto - also referred to online as "hotel/hostel dive center" - as it was ideally positioned on the edge of the town and on the road to the beach, providing a satisfactory... More
