It was less than a 10 minute cab ride to the main drag and it was MUCH quieter. The Mezzanine Hotel is off the major strip of hotels in Tulum which I actually loved about it. Upon check in to any of these hotels, you are given a “passport” encouraging you to visit each property with a free drink ticket included! During our stay we hit all of them except for El Pez. The Mezzanine Hotel is part of the Colbri Boutique Hotels chain including Le Zebra, El Pez and Mi Amor in Tulum. Most, if not all, don’t have more than 20 rooms. As I mentioned, all of the hotels are boutique. You won’t find a Marriott, Hilton or Best Western in this part of Mexico. The Mezzanine Hotel is part of the only real hotel “chain” in Tulum. There was even a yoga mat in our closet and flyers to book private yoga instruction. Almost every hotel, including the Mezzanine Hotel, offers some sort of yoga option. Tulum was once a destination for the yoga obsessed and while it’s no longer a run down, yogi town, it does still have yoga at its roots. But after spending 4 days and 3 nights at Tulum’s Mezzanine Hotel, I can tell you Tulum is as great as it looks. I almost didn’t cross Tulum off my bucket list because I was so convinced that it wasn’t going to be as great as the photos I’d seen on Instagram or the stories I had heard. While Cancun is full of high rise, all-inclusive hotels with tourists from middle America, Tulum is made up of tiny, boutique hotels full of chic 20-somethings. If you’ve visited Cancun, you probably don’t have the best impression of this area. Tulum is a small beach town 90 minutes south of Cancun. Or at least you’re not on Instagram! Because while your uncle or your boss or your college age nephew are in Cancun, Mexico, YOU should be in Tulum. If you haven’t heard of Tulum, I’m going to assume you live under a rock.
