"We had a fantastic stay at La Valise Tulum. It’s a truly special boutique property with only about 22 rooms, and we stayed on the jungle side which felt even more intimate with around 10–11 rooms. The entire experience felt very personalized. The staff was incredible — everyone knew us by name and went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. Every request was handled thoughtfully. For example, when we needed a last-minute late check-out, they easily adjusted our transportation. When we spontaneously wanted to do a tour, they arranged an amazing Mayan ruins and cenote experience through Living Dreams, which turned out to be fantastic. The setting is beautiful and peaceful. The pool is great, and our favorite spot was the dining area overlooking the sea and beach club — the views and calm atmosphere are unforgettable. What makes La Valise truly special is the warm, attentive service and intimate atmosphere. We would absolutely come back and highly recommend it."

"We stayed at La Valise Tulum in March 2026 for a friends wedding. La Valise was incredible from all different aspects. Prior to arrival they reached out to help us with airport transportation and welcoming us. The arrival was met with such elegance and grace, showing us the entire properly individually. The rooms were great as was the entire property both the ocean and the jungle side. We also used the spa services which were super relaxing and right next to the hotel. Nu Tulum for dinner, highly recommend it and the food at La Valise was incredible as was the service across the board."

"The stay was truly delightful, very comfortable and clean room and the service was outstanding. The location was perfect and so many good options for lounging by the ocean or pool. And easy walk to many restaurants Daily breakfast overlooking the ocean was the perfect way to start the day."

"This was truly a lovely boutique resort. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and especially the attentive staff. Anything we requested was delivered! They were especially helpful, recommending local restaurants, and arranging reservations. The breakfast was included, and it was delicious. We stayed in the room with the bed that rolled outside onto the deck. The view was amazing although we never did roll the bed out. The wonderful view was worth a, however, as we spent many mornings watching the surf and sipping coffee. Most people seem to spend their day on the beach, but we enjoyed the quiet pool on the jungle side."

"Stayed at La Valise for a week with my wife. Four days in the master suite and 3 in the beachfront upper suite next to it. We are both late 30s and foodies. La Valise had a ton going for it. The location is fabulous. 10 or 15 minute walk to most of the very best restaurants in Tulum, which are really fabulous across the board. The property is right on the beach with plenty of chairs for the guests. Great slice of beach and sandwiched between many other nice properties if you want to walk down the beach. This area is something they call 'South Tulum', and seems both safer and calmer than the stuff further down the beach road. Less pounding EDM, more tranquility. South Tulum had its own security folks, a few nice shops, and a nice custom golf cart that will take you around and pick you up. Regarding the hotel itself, the food there is really good, especially the breakfast. Good cocktails, good tacos. The service is really at the very peak of what we've seen anywhere globally. The staff at La Valise is so unbelievably kind, helpful, and thoughtful - really makes a huge difference in the vibe of the whole trip. The rooms were good. The master suite is really big and beautiful. Amazing views. Being able to wake up in the morning and look out over the beach and the waves is just awesome. Ambiance at night is great nice candles and uplighting through the property. A few minor points about the experience I'd note, but not a significant detractor for us. One is that the beach in Tulum is very windy, especially at night. As the sun sets, it can be a bit blustery to eat right on the water (I think this is true anywhere in Tulum). There are a few tables by the pool across the road, but it doesn't feel like there is much of a dinner scene at the restaurant there. The air is a little stale on that side and it gets buggy in the evening. They serve until 10, and the food is good, but there are also so many options that it's not much of an issue. Another is that the bar staff that we encountered did not speak great English. They are all really nice, but I think they primarily just make drinks to be served around the resort and are not well set up to serve English speaking customers at the bar. Lastly, and again this is a Tulum-wide and seasonal thing, but in early March the sea weed was awful. The resort had a few people that would work all day to try to clean it off the beach, but they couldn't really put a dent in it. Swimming or walking on the beach the whole time was a bit more unpleasant than I would have liked. We spent most of our time by the pool, though, which was lovely. All said, amongst the very best and most relaxing trips my wife and I have ever been on, and I would largely credit La Valise and their hospitality for making that happen."
