An experience outside of time: the panoramic view from this private haven atop the Palacio Belmonte is nothing short of breathtaking. Several strains of fado music make their way up to our perch high above the rooftops of the city, melodies blending as they waft on the slight tendrils of a cool breeze.

The hotels of Tulum are plentiful and very hit or miss. Truly some of the most unique and magical accommodations you will ever experience can be found here. These are some of my absolute favorites.
