About this property

Welcome to Hotel Carpe Diem Tulum

Located in the busy town center of Tulum, Hotel Carpe Diem Tulum offers a blend of hotel and holiday apartment rental accommodations. The property features spacious rooms that resemble condo-style units, complete with kitchenettes, which some guests find convenient for longer stays. A rooftop pool provides a quiet spot to cool off after exploring the local area, though it tends to be lightly used.

The setting is ideal for visitors who want close access to Tulum’s residential neighborhoods, informal dining options, and lively street food scene. Situated on Carretera Federal within Tulum Centro, the hotel is within easy reach of renowned attractions such as the Tulum ruins, Gran Cenote, and Cenote Calavera. Nearby airports include Aeropuerto Internacional de Tulum Felipe Carrillo Puerto and Cozumel International Airport, both reachable by car within a couple of hours.

Offering an LGBTQ+ friendly environment, the property is appreciated for its convenient location and friendly staff, especially the reception team. Some guests have highlighted the cleanliness of rooms and effective amenities like air conditioning, though a few have noted that the AC could be stronger, and overall security can feel less private due to accessibility. The rooftop pool and terrace are positively received as comfortable shared spaces.

With a rating of 4 out of 5 from over 100 reviews, Hotel Carpe Diem Tulum appeals to travelers seeking good value accommodations in the heart of Tulum. It suits those who prioritize location and practical facilities with a mix of hotel and apartment features, while being mindful of occasional minor drawbacks related to room security and climate control.

Good value hotel in Tulum with friendly front desk Luis. The pool on the rooftop is a bonus to cool down after warm days in Tulum. Clean room and bed, have good wifi speed and close to all the Tulum eating spots and street food vendors.

Great value for the price. And you can pretty much get the entire rooftop pool for yourself since there’s no one else there

Hace un par de meses fuimos de vacaciones a Tulum y nos hospedamos en este lugar, las habitaciones son más bien tipo departamentos con muy buen confort, limpieza una pequeña cocineta lo suficiente para pasar unas buenas noches, la alberca está limpia y de noche se disfruta muchísimo, estacionamiento privado y seguro, nos atendió Luis excelente anfitrión, nos dió recomendaciones en todo momento estuvo atento y al pendiente de nosotros, amable , amigable y sobre todo resolutivo sin duda alguna nos volveremos a hospedar aquí

Large rooms. Kitchenette. More of a condo type rental than a hotel. Nice rooftop pool. Excellent location on the main drag. Had a problem with the door lock which was fixed promptly. Safe is too small for a laptop or ipad so that could be improved. Fyi.

Good value for money! Friendly and very helpful staff! The pool and rooftop terrace is nice, good wifi, good kitchen and equipment. Everything was clean and comfortable, good TV! Ideal location, directly in the centre! The AC could have been a bit stronger because there was a lot of humidity in the room. Hotel is quite easily accessible by outsiders which makes it a bit less secure.
