Tulipanes Cancun

The price was very good for what you get, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel isn't too far from the airport and has indoor parking for cars. The interior, with palms and other plants, looks quite pretty, and there's also a swimming pool.

These are cute little villas, though they're sparse. It's a family-run place, and that shows in a good way: the front desk team helps make sure you're comfortable and have what you need. The low nightly price reflects the simple setup, and the kitchens don't come with dishes. You can get what you need through the front office for a few extra pesos. Don't expect five-star accommodations. Taxi drivers may struggle to find the place. Since it's between the airport and downtown, they don't see a trip out here as profitable. Make sure you stay in the cab until it reaches your destination, or you could end up dropped on some random street blocks away.

We picked this place because it's really close to the airport, but the neighborhood felt very sketchy, as others have said. We arrived at 8 pm in the dark, and the road was in horrible condition. We had a rental car and were afraid we'd wreck it. The room was nasty, with mold throughout, and nothing like the pictures. It felt like a scam to us. This was our last hotel before heading home, so it made for a really sad end to the trip.

The pool was a great way to spend the downtime, and the AC worked really well. I was only here for one night after my airline lost my bag on the Toronto to cancun trip. The men at reception let me use their phones to call the airline and helped arrange a courier to deliver the bag to the hotel, all while I was short on time. Top quality service.
