Hotel Bardo is truly a gem! The landscape design, lush foliage, and inventive pools create an almost magical atmosphereâtranquil, immersive, and beautifully designed. The rooms are luxurious and chic, blending modern comfort with a serene, nature-inspired aesthetic.
Many reviews mention that the hotel isnât close to the beach, and thatâs trueâitâs about a 15-minute drive to the shoreline and a bit longer to the hotel zone. If your main priority is being on the beach, you may find yourself spending a lot of time in transit and paying for parking and beach club access. However, if youâre looking for a unique, relaxing stay with stunning architecture, incredible pools, and an overall dreamy ambiance, Bardo is absolutely worth it.
The staff is warm and attentive, and the hotel offers great classes and activities to enhance the experience. I plan to return to Tulum and would love to stay at Bardo for 1-2 nights before moving to the beach for the remainder of my trip. Also, note that Bardo has a sister property right next door with another pool and restaurant that guests can useâwe didnât realize this at first! Additionally, their other sister property, Milam, might be an even better fit for some travelers, as it offers reciprocal access to classes and a slightly different vibeâdefinitely worth looking into before booking.
Overall, Hotel Bardo is an outstanding choice for those seeking a peaceful, design-forward retreat in Tulum. Highly recommend!
