![]() ![]() ![]() Luckily this problem resolved itself over the course of our stay, and the staff was extremely gracious and helpful while troubleshooting. For example, the wifi didn’t work the first night we were there, and with no service in the rooms, we were technology-deprived for a night. I wouldn’t say that there are too many downsides to La Zebra in general, however, there are a few things that didn’t work that are expected of a four star hotel. Not overburdened with tourists, it’s a small cenote turned lily pond with some of the clearest water I’ve ever seen. While we went to Gran Cenote Sac Atun, one of the most popular cenotes, our favourite was actually the Nicte-Ha Cenote. It’s an amazing way to feel refreshed after walking around in the Tulum heat. On same day notice, my friend and I were connected with an amazing tour guide who showed us around the Tulum Mayan ruins and a few cenotes, an absolute must in Tulum!Ĭenotes are groundwater fresh pools which form when limestone caves in, and there are over 6000 across the Yucatán Peninsula. However, for those who do want to explore a bit more of Tulum’s offerings, the concierge can arrange a private tour with a number of class A private companies. This is the hotel that has everything, and it might be tempting to spend all your entire time at this beach chic luxury. While the pop up closed on May 31, the Mulberry Project will be back during peak season at the tail end of the year. The possibilities are endless, and with 2×1 Tuesdays, you may be tempted to try your hand at more than a few. ![]() You can pick an alcoholic base, a few different fresh ingredients and then what “essence” you’d like the cocktail to be (refreshing, spicy, etc.). ![]() The charm of The Mulberry Project is that you have the power to create a custom cocktail that is entirely up to your tastes. The pop-up comes from NYC’s Jasper Soffer and was open for the third year at La Zebra from November – May. I visited La Zebra in late April, when The Mulberry Project pop-up beach bar was in full effect. And it has every desired amenity to make your tropical beach vacay fabulous: spa, world class restaurant and bar and private beach access. Built directly on the white sands of Tulum, La Zebra reassures you that this was the luxury beach escape you were looking for as soon as you step onto the grounds. Everything is adorned with lush green accents from tropical jungle plants and palms. The bungalows and palapas of La Zebra are donned in neutral colours: limestone chalky whites and beige, desert-brown dried palm fronds, and rich woods. Part of the Colibri Boutique Hotel group that owns four small luxury hotels on the playa strip, La Zebra is quintessential beach chic. Christened after the age old tale that some of the first Old World explorers saw a zebra swimming to shore in Tulum, thus naming the region La Zebra, the recently renovated hotel is a fixture amongst Tulum vacationers, and it’s no wonder why. Picking up the heat quickly, Tulum is likely to be as big as Cancun and Playa del Carmen in a few years, but for now, it’s still able to maintain some charm by being slightly off the beaten path. And where better to lay your head than the La Zebra hotel – a boho chic luxury. When Cancun became overrun with teenagers and twenty-somethings, tourists moved down the Mexican Caribbean Riviera to Playa del Carmen, and as that hideaway began to outgrow itself, Tulum rose up as the newest tourist escape. ![]()
