Glamp Ikal Tulum

Absolutely nothing

Wrong advertisment! This is not glamp ikal! The facilities are close to nothing. The shared bathrooms are nasty and unclean. We decided to not stay and left immediately after the tour. The manager said they'd be happy to let us cancel for no fee but we got 0 refund and got ghosted after we left.

Il servizio pessimo, i costi fuori dal comune per ciò che viene servito. Queste persone hanno l’oro ma non lo sfruttano come dovrebbero ed é la cosa che mi spiace di più.

Right on the beach overlooking sea, great for sunset. The room has Aircon so it is not too hot at night. Access to outside beds which are great for star gazing. Can walk to Tulum ruins in 10 minutes along the beach. Restaurant food was nice. Pool was clean and overlooks the sea

Recommend using colectivos to/ from Tulum ruins and walking to hotel through jaguar park as taxis are expensive. Reception is very hard to locate and not always manned, had to message the receptionist and abandon keys when checking out. Make sure you return every evening with liquids / nibbles as no where to get food other than sea restaurant which is expensive. You are charged 125 peso per person per DAY to enter the jaguar park, this is not included in the hotel charge. If you arrive before 8 am or after 5pm you do not have to pay and can just walk in. Leaving is fine, it is only entry where you have to pay. No plastic is allowed in the jaguar park, however bag searches are not conducted, they will confiscate it if they see it.

On the beach, nice bed and close to Tulum ruins. The huts have air conditioning and are ideal for a few days relaxing by the sea. I recommend getting a hire car as taxis can be expensive and walking does limit your options. I was given a quick tour when I arrived and check in was very easy. The daily fee for entering the beach area isn’t too much but it can be avoided if you enter after 5pm. I would hang out at the beach in the morning then go out for the afternoon to explore.

It was hard to contact staff if they were not at the desk or in their hut. A beer at the local restaurants/bars is over 100 pesos (double the price of most other places away from the beach). I don’t recommend staying here if you are on a tight budget.

Lage direkt am Strand (leider war alles voller Algen). Man konnte alles vom Ikal Hotel mitbenutzen, was echt cool war (auch den Pool). Die Zelt-Lodge war sauber und das Essen und die Getränke im Restaurant nebenan waren echt lecker, aber teuer.

Alles etwas muffig und die Toiletten/ Waschbecken sind nicht ganz so sauber (kommt aber auch viel von der Witterung). Das Zelt hatte teilweise Löcher und einen großer Spalt in der Tür, sodass leicht Tiere hineinkommen können. Die Anlage ist nicht besonders aufgeräumt und die „Bar - oder Ähnliches“ ist nicht betrieben. An der Rezeption wurde leider kein Englisch gesprochen. Die gesamte Gegend ist leider wenig belebt, viel in der Nähe hatte geschlossen, direkt nebenan ist auch eine leerstehende Hotelanlage.

Love the quietness. Beautiful surroundings. The organic feel.

Un super endroit je recommande fortement un lieu hors du temps, dommage qu’il y avait beaucoup de sargasses rendant la plage impraticable

Lokalizacja

Właściciel lub personel zarządzający jest nieuczciwy, niestety okłamał nas i oszukał. Bardzo nieprzyjemne doświadczenie. Nie polecamy jeśli nie chcesz zepsuć swoich wakacji!

Lokalizacja

Domki są brudne i mają wilgoć. Do domków wchodzą liczne robaki.

Emplacement bord de plage , à 15 minutes par la plage du site de tulum

Prix excessif des consommations, des que l’on sort du parc del jaguar il faut repayer l’entrée 😳🤔🥲

Przyroda

Obiekt obiecał możliwość dostawienia łóżka dla dziecka. Na miejscu okazało się, że nie ma takiej możliwości. Przez część pobytu była zimna woda w prysznicu.

Zo dicht op het strand midden in de jungle. Heerlijk. Toiletten en douches schoon! Receptionist Natalia erg behulpzaam. Ook een iets oudere vrouw die ons schone handdoeken bracht elke dag lachen.

Douches te koud. Elke dag koud douchen. Tent was ook wel erg ingezakt

Senza acqua calda per fare la doccia

Mitten in der natur am strand und ruhig war es.

Die zelte sind schon älter und etwas schimmelig und ich mag den Raumduftspray respektive die Waschmittel nicht, da sie nicht umweldfreundlich sind.

Etwas teuer durch die Park-Fee, aber es ist es wert

Vse odlično. Lokacija top. Prvinsko

This will be an annual vacation for me. Amazing location, great staff (thank you Natalya and Marisol), incredible customer service. And did I mention the on the beach location? The restaurant right next door, although expensive by Mexican standards, served great food and the waitstaff were very nice people.

Absolutely nothing. I loved it all.

Einmalige Lage, direkt am Strand. Einfache, aber schön & romantisch gestaltete Unterkünfte.

Etwas angeschmuddelte Sanitäreinrichtungen. Falls man das "Jaguar-Park"-Resort verlässt, muss man am Park-Eingang jeden Tag wieder einen Eintrittspreis (ca. 6€) für den aktuellen Tag bezahlen. Damit hat die Unterkunft jedoch nichts zu tun.

Very comfortable units within tranquil forested surroundings, just a few meters away from the beach! The shared bathrooms were clean and the place was well maintained.

Namioty są bardzo blisko plaży, jest gdzie spacerować i codziennie obserwować wschód słońca.

Pogorszenie pogody powoduje, że woda pod prysznicem jest zimna, a klimatyzacja nie miała możliwości ogrzania namiotu.

Bar del lado

No tenía aire no nos dieron las tallas de playa no había servicio de habitación no había luz se cortaba la luz

Excellent location. Perfect getaway. Bohemian vibes. Mindfulness meditation and other activities available. Good clean facilities and beach bar next door at Ikal hotel

My actual tent wasn't cleaned all week. So the bedding and towels provided were filthy by the fourth day and the floor was covered in sand by the end of my stay despite washing my feet outside in a tub of water.

What I really liked, though, is how beautiful the place is. The location is amazing, right on the beach, which makes the whole atmosphere very special and relaxing.

What I didn’t like about Glamp Ikal was that our oceanfront cabin was quite noisy because of the strong wind. To be fair, this is partly personal preference, as being so close to the ocean naturally comes with that kind of sound. Also, the restaurant where we had coffee and food felt very overpriced for what was offered. The quality was fine, but the prices were much higher than expected.

Miesto ako v raji, pokoj svaty, krasa

Absolutely amazing place, right on the beach — where the waves keep time with the music, sand cools your feet, and every sunset feels like it was staged just for you. Tulum magic hits different when the ocean’s that close 🌊✨

No cleaning

Platsen var magisk.

Det blev ganska kallt och fuktigt i rummet på natten.

Beautiful location

Bit cold at night, but they brought us extra blankets

Lo mejor de todo es la increíble ubicación dentro del parque Jaguar. El glamping que nos tocó estaba a metro de la playa. Nos encantó.

El glamping no contaba con refrigerador, ni espejos.

Cerca de la playa

No habia agua caliente, al llover hubo filtraciones de agua, habian hormigas adentro, no era completamente oscuro en la noche.

The location was absolutely beautiful - both the sandy campsite being through the jungle and the view and closeness to the beach of our cabin. The cabin was also spacious and bed really comfortable. It was also close to a beach bar and walkable to the Mayan ruins.

Not a fault of the campsite but the area was very expensive to eat at (in the park it's a small number of beach restaurants with high prices and no food shops - and we were told we couldn't really bring food in). Also not the easiest to get to and from town either. We had a great time though and this is just something to be aware of for any hotel in this area.

La posizione

Quando siamo arrivati la nostra tenda era piena di muffa che non si poteva respirare dentro, in più nelle foto le tende sono mostrate sopraelevate mentre invece sono per terra e non in riva al mare. Il mio ragazzo é allergico quindi abbiamo chiesto di cambiare stanza perché lì sarebbe stato male, tuttavia ci hanno spostato in una tenda molto più piccola e con le lenzuola sporche.

La posizione direttamente sulla spiaggia.

L’emplacement sur la plage est exceptionnel. Les ruines sont accessibles à pied. La plage est superbe et l’ambiance au bar à côté de l’établissement est très sympa et familiale!

Les portes des toilettes et douches ne ferment pas bien. Pas d’eau chaude dans la douche.

Accueil très agréable, joli cadre !

Plage pleine de sargasses

Le camping est situé dans le beau parc du Jaguar (attention, l’entrée du parc est payante journalièrement et s’ajoute au prix de l’hébergement - env. 400$Mex, soit pas loin de 20€). Dans ce parc, on peut circuler très facilement à vélo ou en navette électrique incluse dans le prix du parc. Accès aux ruines de Tulum et à son musée ainsi qu’à de nombreuses plages. Le camping partage avec l’hôtel du même nom un restaurant plutôt bon et un programme d’activités autour du bien être (yoga, sauna maya, etc)

Les tentes sont beaucoup trop proches les unes des autres : aucune intimité sonore. Un climatiseur est installé dans la tente. L’intention est étonnante mais gentille. En tous cas, cet équipement n’a absolument aucune efficacité lorsque le soleil tape sur la toile. Au mois d’août, la température ressentie avec l’humidité avoisine les 40degrés. Pour se rafraîchir, on peut se tourner vers la piscine ou les Cenotes. À cette période de l’année, la mer n’est pas vraiment accessible : il y a trop de Sargasses.

Nice beach, helpful staff

A long way from facilities, like grocery stores, unlimited options in terms of restaurants, nearby, all of which were expensive

Pague un glamping y a la mera hora me dieron otra habitación que no era, no me avisaron nada solo me dijeron que estaba en remodelación.

Location

The don't abide by the current exchange rate to charge you from USD to Mexican peso. They also don't have the exchange rate announced anywhere and just charge you're card for the room at an arbitrary rate they choose. I've come here many times and it seems like they are letting this place deteriorate.

Excelente atención del personal !!

La cercanía a playa paraíso y poder dormir en la selva. La tranquilidad incomparable

Faltaban comodidades. No avisaron que todos los días hay que pagar para poder reingresar a la reserva. No tener un lugar en el predio donde poder comprar comida que no sea los restaurantes carísimos de las playas

The location is great, the tent is spacious and the staff was nice.

The camp is in a natural park. At the entrance to the natural park you have to pay an extra tax. It’s not a lot of money, but it’s always valid only for one day and the host doesn’t mention it anywhere. Be aware! Our room was ready 1,5 hours later than it was supposed to be. In the showers is only cold water. If you get a tent next to the facilities, you can smell the waste water. They provide only a thin blanket and since it’s a tent, we were cold at night. The surrounding restaurants are ridiculously expensive. Almost double compared to the normal local restaurants.

Posizione fantastica. Staff carino.

Ero già stata qui diverse volte in passato e questa volta ho avuto la sensazione che la struttura fosse un po’ trascurata. Le tende, che ricordavo più curate, presentavano diversi problemi: nella mia c’era molta umidità e, poiché alcune parti delle pareti in tessuto erano rotte e la palapa del soffitto era molto ammuffita, anche il tessuto delle pareti risultava ammuffito. In generale ho percepito una mancanza di attenzione ai dettagli, anche a quelli più piccoli. Anche in bagno, ad esempio, i rubinetti non funzionavano correttamente. Nel complesso, quindi, credo che la struttura necessiti di maggiore manutenzione. È un peccato, perché in passato era sempre stata una sistemazione semplice ma ben tenuta. Essendo sul mare, è ovviamente un luogo che richiede molta cura e manutenzione costante. La posizione, invece, resta assolutamente straordinaria, per questo spero davvero che venga rimessa a posto

Amazing, right by the beach. Great Cabaña. Friendly staff. Wholesome stay.

My hut faced the adjacent property which seemed abandoned but with a full time presence of Guardia nacional, no reason for them to be there. Felt a little bit strange…

I booked Glampikal Tulum for New Year’s Eve and my birthday on January 3, expecting a nice beachfront glamping experience. What I found instead was one of the worst accommodations I have ever encountered in my life. The listings are completely misleading. The tents are damaged, poorly maintained, full of holes and gaps, with no insulation whatsoever. Because of these openings, all kinds of insects and potentially dangerous bugs can freely enter the tent, making it feel unsafe to sleep there. At night the temperature drops dramatically, and since the air conditioning only blows cold air and there is no heating, I spent one of the coldest and most miserable nights of my life. This is not glamping. This is survival. Hygiene is beyond unacceptable. There is mold everywhere, on the tent fabric and in the bathrooms. I am allergic to mold and immediately started sneezing and coughing. The toilets were filthy, there was no toilet paper, no proper cleaning, and dirty towels were left on the floor for hours. Even the ashtray on my private terrace was dirty when I arrived. Most of the toilets were locked by maintenance staff, leaving only one toilet available for all guests. The shower water was cold. The internet barely worked, which made it impossible to even manage bookings or contact support properly. Basic services you expect anywhere simply do not exist here. To make matters worse, I was informed by staff that this place is no longer affiliated with the Ikal brand, yet it continues to use the Ikal name. This is extremely misleading and feels like deliberate deception. After my first night, I contacted Booking.com on January 1 and was promised a response within 24 hours. I never heard back. I checked out the same morning because staying was impossible. This experience completely ruined my New Year’s and my birthday vacation. I cancelled my remaining reservations and am still fighting to get my money back. Avoid this place at all costs.

l'emplacement est vraiment bien 10metre de la plage, l'endroit est calme. nous pouvons rentrer avec la voiture dans la parc du jaguar c'est pratique (attention faut payer l'entrée mais pas excessifs) le personnel est sympa

la clim ne fonctionnait pas à notre arrivée, presque toutes les prises ne fonctionnent pas, le ventilateur ne fonctionnait pas. nous avons signalé le problème le personnel nous as trouvé une solution et nous as mis une clim portable (nous avons perdu presque 1h30 le temps qu'il réussi à résoudre le problème) mais c'était un 24 décembre il était seul et nous à offert le pti dej en compensation donc bravo à lui.

Beautiful location right on the beach . Our room wasn’t cleaned because the guy from reception appeared to be the only person working there . He was amazing . Very helpful

Showers were cold but maybe that was because of the location

location

We can't find anyone to check in

La posizione fantastica, con accesso diretto alla spiaggia

Scarsa accoglienza, non c’era nessuno alla reception quando siamo arrivati ed é stato difficile trovare qualcuno. Zero aiuto con i bagagli. Quando siamo arrivati non c’era la tenda che avevamo scelto perché era stata distrutta da un uragano, ma comunque é stata trovata una soluzione facilmente.

Avevamo fatto un errore nelle date di prenotazione e sono stati molto gentili da permetterci comunque il cambio L’hotel é proprio dentro il parco del giaguaro con una vista splendida sul mare e la mattina la spiaggia è tutta per te

La tenda è veramente umida (persino le lenzuola) e la doccia è solo fredda, almeno l’acqua tiepida sarebbe stata gradita

Location is very nice and in general it is a very beautiful seafront place.

- A total rip-off!! Booked this place from a few months ago for 280 USD. The day we were checking-in, I checked the price and was 70 USD. I asked hotel to do price adjustment but they did not, so unfair!! - Not a good value for money, it is a basic tent with no facilities. They call it “luxury tent” but there is not even a plate inside! - Beds are super uncomfy, we could not sleep at all - No hot water in the shower, you have to shower with freezing cold water - Wifi does not work in any area, everytime you have to go to the reception to get a very slow internet

Outstanding place, location is amazing with the beach right there at your footsteps. Luis was an outstanding host, he helped me as I had to work one day of our visit and allow me to share his space to work in the amazing open reception that had. There are restaurants near by. Facilities are great is an amazing experience, the feeling of the camp is very calm and relaxing if you're looking for a place to unwind this is the place. We're planning to return to this paradise. Gracias Luis for todas tus tenciones. Claudia

Washrooms are shared and they are in an open space, they were clean and accessible-remember they are shared so you have to accommodate to that. Glam Ikal provides with all the toiletries at the bathrooms with a soap and shampoo that smells delicious.

La plage, le décor

Les tentes sont de mauvaise qualités. Déjà déchirée, la mienne a été détruite d'un seul coup de vent. La connexion wifi ne se rend pas aux tentes. Il n'y avait pas de frigo alors impossible de conserver des boissons fraiches ou de la nourriture. Je me suis senti prisonnier du lieu et de son restaurant, le seul endroit où il y avait du wifi. Quand tu réserve pour 10 jours, ça devient très dispendieux de toujours manger au restaurant. Idem pour l'alcool. Il faut aussi payer un bracelet (environ 10$ CAD) par jour pour l'accès au parc si on en sort. Glamp Ikal ne loue que des vélos électriques (environ 50$ CAD). Ça fait cher quand tu veux juste aller faire une course en ville.

La ubicación y el trato del personal

No te avisan que tenés que pagar para entrar al parque. Luego todo bien

proximité avec la mer ambiance robinson couleurs et decoration du lieu

Eine wunderbare Unterkunft direkt am Meer. Die Zelte die wir gebucht hatten standen nach dem Regen ein wenig unter Wasser. Wir erhielten aber ein Upgrade & sind gleich 2 Nächte länger in dem Strandhäuschen geblieben.

Habitación sencilla pero muy acogedora. La ubicación de la habitación al lado de la línea de playa es excepcional, durmiendo con el sonido del mar. Lugar privilegiado.

Next to the beach, and great staff!

The water in the showers is always cold! :(

L’ambiance

Un peu compliqué à trouver.

De locatie is top, je loopt zo het strand op. De tenten zijn echt comfortabel en de gedeelde wc’s en douches werden goed schoon gehouden.

Soms was er wat achterstallig onderhoud. Zo was er maar 1 werkende kraan. Ook misten wij douchegel in de douche. Let ook op dat je kosten betaald om het park op te komen. Na 17 uur is het echter gratis.

Das Camp ist wirklich direkt am Strand und die Anlage sehr schön. Man schläft zum Rauschen der Wellen ein. Da man schon im Park ist, muss man für das Anschauen der Ruinen nur noch 100 Pesos Eintritt zahlen. Man bekommt gefiltertes Wasser zur Verfügung.

Leider war das Bett in dem Bungalow den wir gebucht hatten nur ca. 1,3m breit, das war nicht so komfortabel.

Sehr schön am Strand.

Kaltes Wasser.

The location is perfect

Limited access at certain hours due to the restrictions of the national park.

The tent was very spacious and clean. It had a simple bed, chair and hanging space. The air con and fan worked well in combination to keep the tent cool. The shared bathroom (4 toilets and 4 showers) were clean. The staff were very friendly, they always said hola as you walked by them with a big smile. They were also very helpful. We really enjoyed our stay. We had tent 13 which was set back in the shade from the beach but still within metres of the beach access. It was nice to have the shad to sit on the verandah and relax when not at the beach.

Just an FTI - The restaurants (all along the beach at the beach clubs and hotels) are very expensive. We were on a budget and really struggled with meals. There could be more signage as to where to go when entering the property and trying to find reception. A mirror in the tent would be helpful as well.

El servicio de Luis fue impecable. Su atención fue muy amable, profesional y siempre dispuesto a ayudar. Las instalaciones están muy lindas y en perfecto estado, lo que hizo que la experiencia fuera aún mejor. Realmente un excelente servicio. ¡Gracias, Luis!

Right on the beach. Ruins in walkable distance, no need to exit the park to get there. Very nice to sleep listening to the waves.

Little privacy in the rooms. Tent leaked during rain right onto my book and as it was a soft cover it was ruined. Note that white tents are extremely moldy, as other reviews also point out. "Huts" (they call them Mayan rooms) are ok. Overall the maintenance is quite poor. One chair broke immediately when sat upon. One light bulb not working and not fixed the next day despite being promised a fix by the staff. Beach towels not provided before you ask for them. Poor command of English by the staff. If you absolutely want to be in a tent/hut on the beach and close to the Tulum ruins, you likely don't have much of a choice but this place. That was my case and I was kind of prepared for this experience by reading the reviews in advance, so I wasn't disappointed too much.

Excelente atención, la zonas comunes estuvieron siempre limpias, la ubicación perfecta, sobre la playa.

ubicación y precio

Servicio al cuarto, ningún día hicieron limpieza, no tiene baño y los comunitarios no tienen agua caliente, pésimo

La posizione fantastica

Letto scomodo, bagni ben puliti ma non funzionali, acqua fredda nelle docce, WiFi instabile

Beautiful place.
