ELEMENT Apartments

ELEMENT Apartments Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to ELEMENT Apartments on Calle Neptuno, you immediately get the sense that this place gets it right. It’s not trying too hard to be flashy — just clean lines, modern design, and that relaxed Tulum vibe that makes you want to slow down. The four-star property sits in a quiet residential area, which honestly was a relief after dealing with the chaos of the main hotel zone. You know what really caught my attention? The fact that they actually have parking — and it’s free, which is practically unheard of around here.

Location That Actually Works

Here’s the thing about Tulum — location is everything, and ELEMENT nailed it. You’re close enough to the action but far enough away that you’re not dealing with constant noise and crowds. I mean, couples are rating this spot 9.3 out of 10, and after spending time here, I totally get why. The beach is a quick bike ride away (they’ll hook you up with rentals), and you can walk to some really solid local spots that most tourists never find. There’s this little taco place around the corner that locals actually go to — that’s always a good sign.

The Apartment Experience

Each apartment feels more like staying at a friend’s place than a hotel room. The kitchen setup is actually functional — not just some tiny mini-fridge situation. I’m talking full-size appliances, decent counter space, and all the basics you need if you want to grab groceries and make breakfast instead of paying resort prices every morning. The design is clean and contemporary, with these great windows that let in tons of natural light. Air conditioning works perfectly too, which — trust me — you’ll appreciate during Tulum’s humid afternoons.

What Sets It Apart

The staff here really knows their stuff. They’re not just handing you a generic tourist map and calling it a day. When I asked about cenotes, the front desk guy actually drew me a little map showing which ones were worth the trip and which times to go to avoid the tour groups. The property itself has this nice pool area where you can actually relax without fighting for a chair. It’s not huge, but it doesn’t need to be — the whole vibe is more intimate and laid-back.

Why Guests Love It

Look, Tulum can be overwhelming with all the Instagram-perfect hotels that cost a fortune and deliver style over substance. ELEMENT gets the balance right — you’re getting modern comfort and great service without the pretentious attitude or the price tag that makes you wince. The recent guest ratings speak for themselves, especially that 9.1 location score. You’re getting authentic Tulum access with reliable amenities, and honestly, that’s exactly what most people are actually looking for once they get past the social media fantasy of it all.

  Ein schönes Apartment in einer sehr guten Lage. Schön eingerichtet mit Balkon, TV und einer Küche. Der Komplex im TUK Tulum eignet sich vor allen für junge Leute und Paare.
