Delek Tulum Review
Although Tulum, Mexico is now a well-known destination, people still flock to this beautiful Caribbean coast location because it offers a great service. This is largely due to the independent hoteliers who understand how to enhance the area’s natural beauty without overdoing it. Delek Tulum is a prime example of this.
The name given to the Delek hotel is derived from Tibetan culture and serves as a reminder of the hotel’s ecological, cultural, and ethical intentions. In Tulum, it can be difficult to find a balance between minimalism and luxury, but Delek manages to do so successfully with its handmade cabañas that provide both a connection to nature and modern amenities.

At the terrace restaurant located on the beachfront, you can enjoy a high-end version of the local cuisine. The chefs at the restaurant source all of their ingredients from local and sustainable purveyors, including the timbers used to make the cabañas.
The amenities available at this location include air conditioning, beachfront access, concierge service, and a designated smoking area. Cribs are available upon request but subject to availability. Additionally, there is a doctor on call and shuttle service offered.
There is free WiFi accessible in all regions. Unfortunately, there is no available parking. Pets are permitted but may come with additional fees. All children are welcome to stay, with those under the age of 2 staying for free if they use a provided cot and those up to 11 years old staying for free if they use an existing bed.
If your child is between 12 – 17 years and will be using an existing bed, the cost per person per night is US$30. Children up to 11 years old can stay for free if an extra bed is available. For people aged 12 and over using an extra bed, the cost is also US$30 per person per night.
Please note that you need to request an extra bed or crib, and the hotel will confirm availability. Additional costs like these are not included in the total and must be paid for during your stay.
I recommend these travel resources for Mexico that I personally use:
🏨 Hotels: I have found that Expedia and Booking.com consistently have the best deals on hotels and resorts in Mexico. If you prefer to stay at a vacation rental, check VRBO that is usually cheaper than AirBnB’s added fees!
✈️ Flights: To find the best flight deals to Mexico, I always use Kayak. Remember to subscribe to their price alerts for the travel dates you want. Another great alternative for flight deals is Expedia.
🚗 Rental Cars: I always use and highly recommend Discover Cars because it allows me to compare several car rental companies and view ratings on various factors such as overall value, pick-up procedure, agent efficiency, car condition, and total time taken.
🚙 Cancun Airport Transportation: For the fastest and easiest way to travel, I suggest arranging a private transfer with Cancun Airport Transportation. Honestly, no better way to travel from the airport to your hotel or resort.
🤿 Tours & Activities: For tours and activities in Mexico, I highly recommend using either Viator or GetYourGuide. These websites offer a full refund if you cancel your booking 24 hours before the start of the tour, and they also provide excellent customer service in case of any issues.
🚨 Travel Insurance: I always suggest purchasing travel insurance as a precaution before traveling, especially after a recent accident in a taxi in Mexico. For short trips, I recommend Travel Insurance Master, whereas for digital nomads, Safety Wing is a better option.
📷 Best Camera for your trip: I always carry with me a GoPro, It’s light, compact, takes great video and pictures, and most importantly, it’s waterproof! You just can’t go wrong with one. If you are interested in higher quality video and photography, I always carry with me on my trips and highly recommend the Sony A7IV which I think is the best travel DSLR Camera out there.
☀️ Biodegradable Sunscreen: Remember to include a good sunscreen to protect yourself from the summer sun. I always use and suggest Sun Bum Sunscreen, which is vegan, reef-friendly, and cruelty-free.
