Overview
No children, a pool on the roof and a spa downstairs: Hotel Xkeban sets out to be a quiet couples' base in La Veleta, the residential district south-west of Tulum's centre. The property is marketed as adults only.
Every room has its own terrace with a view of the garden, along with air-conditioning, a minibar and a private bathroom. Up top, the rooftop pool is open all year and sits beside a solarium deck for sunbathing.
For downtime there's a spa and a jacuzzi, and the restaurant cooks American-style dishes with vegan choices on the menu, with some outdoor tables. Wi-Fi is free across the hotel and parking on site costs nothing, which is useful if you've hired a car for cenote trips.
