Steep and absurd hidden fees. I had paid a rate that included breakfast only to find out that “the breakfast service fees” weren’t included in the price I paid. I also reached the hotel to be invoiced a hidden resort fee was forced to pay a leonine deposit of 200 usd per day reserved. The hotel staff are constantly trying to get ahold of your money: they even tried to charge me for changing my breakfast eggs from “scrambled” to “boiled”. The restaurant fees are ridiculous too. They charged me nearly 60 usd for a plate of cauliflower soaked in oil. Customer service is very bad as well and the services offered are deceptive. They for example say that bikes are offered complementarily but never have any. They say that you are entitled to free water bottles per day but delay in giving them to you. Ultimately, while the hotel’s cenote is nice to view, the place is not worth it. You cant even swim in the cenote for a great part of the day (only from 11 am-6 pm) and there is also a loud dj for a part of the afternoon which makes the experience overwhelming. The hotel’s policies are ultimately abusive. Hotel staff treat you like a walking and breathing ATM. We moved over to La Valise (a better and more luxurious hotel) and had a way nicer time.

Diego was awesome and explained everything about the property. We were welcomed with a drink and a cold wet cloth which was much needed after our walk to the hotel. Loved this place and they even have a DJ in the cenote area. Definitely recommend this place.

I have been coming to Tulum for years and this is the best lodging I have discovered. Amazing eco-friendly property. Designed intentionally to channel positive energy from the universe. Tuuch cenote is crystal clear and purifies the soul. Attention to detail and service is unmatched to any of my VIP experiences through Expedia Platinum. Room is spacious and quality AC is available 24/7. Private plunge pool is a serene escape right outside your door, but secluded in nature. Mood lighting and open concept heightened our stay. Yoga classes offered on an energetic platform within the jungle. Wealth of vegetarian options. Must visit stay if you are looking to connect with your soul and unwind in the high vibrations of Tulum. You will feel the positive frequencies as you step foot onto the grounds.

Hotel Shibari was absolutely incredible. Excellent location right in the middle of all the action but quiet on the property and peaceful. Included breakfast is glorious and ample. Cenote on site was lovely, outdoor small pool with swim up bar was fun and great for taking a dip late at night, jacuzzi was big and pleasant. Rooms are clean and spacious. Outdoor seating on private porch so enjoyable for morning coffee. Butler service was exceptionally helpful and the staff in general are totally on it. Spa service was a great set up - maybe not the most amazing massage I have ever gotten but they create a whole experience and think of all the details which was lovely. Yoga was excellent. I suppose if it’s important to you to be able to roll out of bed and go to the beach then you would want a beachside hotel (this is jungle side) but we were perfectly happy with utilizing the free access to the partner beach clubs and lounging at the cenote on off hours. In some ways it was nice to have access to multiple beach clubs because we got yo try a few free of charge with no minimum spend. Food in Tulum is crazy expensive heads up, this hotel was usual pricing for the area and quality was great.

First time in Tulum and Hotel Shibari did not disappoint!! It’s a private, quiet hotel perfect for couples. The rooms are huge and ours had its own private hot tub. The highlight is the beautiful cenote that you can relax at in day beds or at the restaurant. It’s walking distance to all the beach clubs and great restaurants.

This is a very well-run hotel and one of the nicest in the Tulum hotel-district. The prices are reasonable and the staff is attentive and helpful. The cenote and surrounding deck are very attractive and relaxing and you will be very well looked after. The two less attractive aspects of this establishment for us were the limited menu at the main restaurant (seriously, there are only four or five decent dishes) and the incessant rave style music played a DJ 18 hours a day. Seriously, it is akin to water torture and disturbs what is otherwise a lovely peaceful area. One other detail worth noting is the difficulty getting in and out of the "hotel/beach area". Taxis there notoriously charge $50-60 each way just to take you to and from the hotels area to the "downtown" shopping area- which is only about 4.5 miles away. Also, stores and restaurants near the hotel charge a premium for modest/average merchandise and service because... once you are there in the hotel area you are literally a captive audience - not the fault of the hotel, of course. Just FYI

We stayed here for our babymoon (I am 6 months pregnant). This hotel is gorgeous! The landscaping is lush and beautiful. The service is excellent. The butlers /concierges were so helpful and attentive. The cenote is incredible. They have a DJ almost every day and although I saw some reviews complain about this--I thought the volume and music selections were still relaxing but vibey. I enjoyed laying out there with a book in the sun. The rooms were beautiful and have everything you could ever want. The Atta restaurant onsite is really nice with excellent service, although pricey--the food was fresh and delicious. The menu could use some more simple options (I was craving tacos or just standard Mexican fare). Because of the limited menu we had to venture outside of the resort for other dining options which were incredibly expensive (think downtown Chicago or New York). I was disappointed in the Tulum area (the hotel zone), it was dirty, smelled like sewage and was not walkable (no sidewalks or paths) so you're hoping not to get clipped by a car. Nothing to offer during the day outside of an expensive beach club (no other direct access to the beach) or dance clubs at night (which again babymoon). Overall I loved Hotel Shibari and their incredible staff but the Tulum Hotel Zone was just not nice enough for the cost of everything.

t's wonderful to hear that you had such a lovely experience at Hotel Shibari during your babymoon. From the lush landscaping to the attentive service and beautiful rooms, it sounds like the hotel provided the perfect backdrop for your special getaway. The cenote and the vibey atmosphere created by the DJ added to the relaxing ambiance, allowing you to fully unwind and enjoy your time away.While the dining options at the hotel's Atta restaurant were delicious, it's understandable that you were hoping for more variety, especially with some simpler options like tacos or traditional Mexican fare. We are glad to say that these are available at the Tuuch cenote menu along with simpler options. Regarding the Tulum hotel zone, we acknowledge that the area is still under development, While we cannot control the surrounding environment, we strive to provide a luxurious and relaxing haven within our hotel grounds.We appreciate your honest feedback and are committed to continuously improving the guest experience at Hotel Shibari. We hope to welcome you back in the future and provide you with an even more memorable and enjoyable stay, tailored to your specific needs and preferences.Fernando CamachoGuest Experience Manager

The food, the room, the service, the amenities, the landscaping, the access to 3 beach clubs, the beautiful cenote!!!! Honestly a dream! Even though it doesn’t have direct access to the beach, it’s partnered with 3 beach clubs for free access which gives you opportunity to see different areas of the beach. So fun, we loved every second.

Great hotel.
Hotel & grounds are beautiful in a great location! Large modern rooms with a Mexican touch. Service at breakfast needs improving but would definitely return.

Pleasure to stay at this beautiful hotel. Staff is amazing and helpful with booking additional activities. Beautiful cenote “bellybutton” with lots of little fish and a few big ones show up from time to time. The smells around the hotel are wonderful. Indirect lighting everywhere and lots of outdoor lighting make this place magical. Enjoyed the entire stay! Thank you for taking such good care of us on our 26 year anniversary!

I stayed at the Shibari Hotel for only one night with my boyfriend and the staff were super friendly and polite. The check in was amazing. We were greeted with a cold hand towel and water and we sit down and the receptionist come to us for the check in. Highly recommended the hotel.

Fantastic Resort!(Weather is important for cenote)
We had an amazing stay at the Shibari resort. It’s a very cool property that was a very calm environment. Room was spacious, modern, and clean. The food on site was great quality, and fantastic cocktails. The cenote is really cool! We did have some rain on the later part of the trip so the water was too murky to swim, but we did swim in it earlier in the stay when it was crystal clear and very refreshing. They also have a pool with swim up bar and a separate large hot tub. The staff was very friendly/ attentive. We had arranged an early pickup for a tour to chichen itza that left before bfast started and their staff proactively found us and the day before and arranged for their kitchen to have a to go lunch ready for us before the kitchen was open. I appreciated the proactive attention. They also helped coordinate transportation and some tours as well. Location was convenient to several other great restaurants that we walked to close by.
