Elementus Tulum Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Elementus Tulum, you immediately get that “this is different” feeling — and I mean that in the best way possible. This four-star boutique property sits right on Calle 8, which honestly puts you in one of the sweetest spots in Tulum. The design hits that perfect balance between contemporary comfort and the earthy, bohemian vibe that makes Tulum so magnetic. You know what really struck me? How they’ve managed to feel upscale without being pretentious — something a lot of places here struggle with.

Location That Actually Matters

Here’s the thing about location in Tulum — it’s everything, and Elementus nailed it. You’re close enough to the beach zone that a quick bike ride gets you to those Instagram-worthy cenotes and beach clubs, but far enough from the chaos that you can actually sleep at night. The pueblo (town center) is right there when you want authentic tacos or need to grab supplies, and I’ve found that couples really appreciate this balance. There’s something romantic about being able to walk to dinner without dealing with the tourist madness that hits other parts of town.

The Room Experience

The room design feels thoughtfully curated — not like someone just threw together a bunch of “tropical” decor and called it a day. Natural materials, clean lines, and those little touches that make you want to linger a bit longer in the morning. The beds are actually comfortable (you’d be surprised how many boutique hotels miss this basic requirement), and the bathrooms have that spa-like quality without being over the top. Air conditioning works properly too, which — trust me — you’ll appreciate during Tulum’s steamier months.

Dining and Social Spaces

The on-site restaurant serves up a solid mix of Mexican flavors with international touches, and honestly, the breakfast alone makes staying here worthwhile. I mean, you could venture out for every meal, but sometimes you just want to ease into your day without making decisions. The common areas have this relaxed energy where you might strike up a conversation with other travelers, but you’re never feeling crowded or like you can’t find a quiet corner when you need one.

Why Guests Love It

What really sets Elementus apart is how it captures Tulum’s essence without the usual compromises. You get that bohemian beach town experience, but with reliable wifi, consistent hot water, and service that actually cares about your comfort. Recent guests consistently rave about the location — and after spending time here, I get it. It’s positioned perfectly for couples who want romance and adventure in equal measure, whether that’s exploring ancient ruins in the morning or sipping mezcal as the sun sets. The 8.2 rating reflects what you’ll discover: a place that delivers on its promises without the inflated prices of some beachfront properties.

To book a hotel in Tulum during full-moon drum circles, visitors plan ahead to balance beachfront rituals with jungle bike rides at dawn.

Reviews of Elementus Tulum

  • Peter from United States (9/10)

    The property was very nice and clean. Apartment was spacious and comfortable. Suited our family of five perfectly.

  • Amber from United States (8/10)

    The size and price were excellent. We booked two of the two bedroom apartments for our party of 11.

  • Maëlys from France (7/10)

    The pool is good specially when it's hot weather.
    Big beds.

  • Fozia from Canada (8/10)

    Overall, it was a nice stay. Kids could play outside in the pool, which is shallow enough to be safe for children. Location and safety wise, it's an excellent place. The apartment was clean and spacious but infested with cockroaches. I hope the management can have it sprayed soon. If we go to tulum again, it would be our first choice.

  • Sale-liis from Estonia (9/10)

    The pool area was nice

  • Sztakos44 from Hungary (8/10)

    The apartement looked nice, big spaces inside, the pool was also beautiful. The city center is close by car.

  • Corinne from United Kingdom (9/10)

    Out of three places that told us there was a pool this was the only one with one. There had been bad weather before we arrived so internet was patchy. They moved us to the apartment with the router to improve it. Very friendly staff as well

  • Derek from United States (7/10)

  • Didier from United States (8/10)
