The Brand-New Hilton Tulum Riviera Maya All-Inclusive Resort
Hey everyone, how’s it going? So we just got back from our trip to Tulum, Mexico. We stayed at the brand-new Hilton Tulum Riviera Maya All-Inclusive Resort. It opened around the beginning of April from what the staff told us. The resort is a little over an hour from the Cancun International Airport. Getting a taxi is not hard, as you will have multiple people try to get you to take their taxi on your way out of the airport. If you feel more comfortable, I would recommend arranging for the resort to have someone pick you up from the airport. It will be a little more expensive, but not by a lot. We paid a taxi 3,000 MXN (which at the time was about $153 US) to take us from the airport to the resort. The resort quoted us about $200 for a roundtrip, to pick us up at the airport and then drop us back off after our stay. We opted for the taxi only because we did not want to wait an hour for them to get to the airport from the resort. We arrived a little early before our room was ready, but we were given our wrist bands which allowed us to access to the pools, restaurants, bars/drinks, etc. We passed the time pretty quickly with Mojitos, Rose and fresh salads and guacamole. We were upgraded to an “Ocean View” room from the “Jungle View” room. It had a living room and small dining area, with a separate bathroom. The bedroom and master bathroom were separate. It had a huge soaking tub in the middle of the bathroom and then there was two stalls, one for the shower and other for the toilet.
There are plenty of options and restaurants when it comes to food. For breakfast and lunch there was a buffet style restaurant that had a little bit of everything. Breakfast options were things like: an omelet station, fresh fruit, yogurts, breads and pastries, cheeses and cured meats, French toast and packages station, and then they had multiple steam tables with a variety of dishes. Sarah’s favorites were the adult acceptable version of nachos for breakfast: Chilaquiles. Lunch options were: self serve chips and guacamole and pico de gallo, cured meats, cheeses, a meat carving station, different seafood salads, a poke station, pasta bar, multiple steams tables with different dishes, and dessert. Did I mention that it is all you can eat?! Oh, and don’t forget about the drinks. You can order whatever you want and they’ll bring it to you. While we were there, we ate at the Mexican restaurant called “Maxal”, a Japanese restaurant called “Noriku”, and a Steakhouse called “ Auma”. In all, there are 13 restaurants at the resort.

When you’re done swimming in the two main pools (by the lobby, there’s also multiple pools by each section of the resort) or in the ocean, they also have a fitness center and spa. You can also talk with the staff about some of their cultural activities, which include: Mayan calendar reading, Astrology practice, Garden building, Tribal nights (drums circles and sound healing), Family ecstatic dance nights, Breath practices, Family ecstatic dance nights, and local art learning club. You can also explore Tulum National Park and see the Mayan ruins of Tulum. No matter how long your stay is, you’ll have plenty of things to do and see. Kick back, relax, and enjoy your time in Tulum. We’ll be adding pictures and content to our Mexico page soon.
