La Selva Apartments Tulum

La Selva Apartments Tulum Overview

First Impressions

Walking into La Selva Apartments Tulum, you immediately get that “this is different” feeling — and I mean that in the best way. This four-star property sits right on Avenida 5, which honestly couldn’t be more perfect if you’re looking to be in the thick of things in Tulum. The whole place has this relaxed jungle-meets-modern vibe that somehow doesn’t feel forced or overly designed. You know what I love? They’ve managed to create something that feels authentically Tulum without trying too hard.

Location & Getting Around

Being on Avenida 5 means you’re literally steps from everything that matters in Tulum’s city center. I’m talking about walking to restaurants, shops, and those little local spots that make Tulum special — no need for constant taxi rides or rental cars (though they do have free private parking on site if you’re driving). The beach is about a 10-minute bike ride away, and honestly, that’s part of the charm. You get the convenience of town life but can easily escape to those Instagram-worthy cenotes and beach clubs when the mood strikes.

The Apartment Experience

These aren’t your typical hotel rooms — each apartment actually gives you space to breathe and settle in properly. The layouts are thoughtful, with enough room to spread out your stuff without feeling cramped. What really impressed me was how they’ve balanced that vacation rental independence with hotel-level service. You get your own space to unwind after long days exploring, but you’re not completely on your own if you need anything. The design leans into natural materials and earthy tones that complement Tulum’s whole aesthetic without being cliché about it.

Daily Rhythms

Mornings here start right with their continental breakfast — nothing fancy, but it hits the spot and gets you fueled for the day ahead. I actually appreciated that it wasn’t some elaborate buffet situation; sometimes simple works better when you’re eager to get out and explore. The fact that couples rate this place so highly makes total sense when you experience it. There’s something about the layout and atmosphere that creates these perfect little pockets of privacy, whether you’re having coffee in the morning or winding down after a day at the cenotes.

Why Guests Love It

With an 8.8 rating, this place clearly gets something right, and I think it comes down to balance. You’re getting that apartment-style freedom with hotel conveniences, prime location without the chaos, and authentic Tulum vibes without the pretension. It’s particularly great for couples who want to experience Tulum’s energy but also need a peaceful retreat to come back to. The whole setup just works — you can walk to dinner, explore the local scene, then retreat to your own space when you need to recharge.

Apartments in Tulum suit long stays with private plunge pools, outdoor kitchens, and leafy courtyards filled with hammocks.

Reviews of La Selva Apartments Tulum

• Angela from United States (9/10)

  Breakfast was good, although it would have been nice to be able to order anything at the restaurant instead of the limited menu. The pool was the highlight for sure, especially loved the super shallow end that our 1 year old played in continuously. Very quiet and secluded, we felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. The hosts were especially kind and responsive and provided water and came very quickly any time we had concerns or questions.

• Erin from United States (8/10)

  We liked the courtyard and the location. Having A/C in each room was also very nice. The rooms, closets and bathrooms were a good size. The kitchen was well equiped. The hosts replied to messages very quickly. The location is quiet (off the beaten path!). Groceries and coffee shops nearby.

• Patrik from Belgium (9/10)

  Spacious appartment for reasonable price. Although nobody physically is there to welcome you everything worked really smooth. We were well informed how to get key and a lot of information was shared about our stay and options to eat or to do. Even more then in our other stays in hotels during our trip in Mexico.

• Mariana from Belgium (9/10)

  Well equipped, comfortable, spacious 2 bedroom-2 bathroom apartment. Lovely quiet pool area. Easy checkin and checkout. All the information was well communicated. Quiet location, a little out of town, which is fine if, like us, you have a car.
  We had an included breakfast option at a café a few blocks away.
