Paradise fund in Tulum

Imagine a place where the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea meet the lush green jungle, where the sound of gentle waves blends with the rustle of palm leaves, and where every detail of your stay is designed for pure relaxation.

We found in Conrad Tulum Riviera Maya—our family’s happy place. For my wife, our 8-year-old daughter Emma, and me, our return trip in August 2025 was even more magical than the first time. This time, we went all in—literally—by booking the resort’s All-Inclusive Plan.

And here’s why you should, too.

Why Choose Conrad Tulum’s All-Inclusive Plan

Available during select seasons, this package unlocks unlimited gourmet dining and premium beverages across the resort’s restaurants. Families love that up to two children under 12 stay and eat free—a stress-free way to savor every culinary experience without worrying about the bill.

From the moment we booked, the anticipation began. We spent weeks browsing the hotel’s website, crafting our perfect itinerary. When the day arrived, we boarded a direct flight from Mexico City International Airport to Cancún, where our pre-arranged transfer whisked us away on a scenic one-hour drive to paradise.

A Grand Arrival

The open-air lobby of Conrad Tulum is nothing short of spectacular—soaring ceilings, breathtaking architecture, and a welcome drink so refreshing it felt like the first sip of vacation.

In less than five minutes, we were checked in and headed to our Ocean View Room in Casa 3, greeted by sweeping sea views from our balcony. That evening, we kicked off our trip at Ultramar, where familiar faces from our last visit, like Yesenia, welcomed us back with warm smiles. The slow-roasted pork tacos were melt-in-your-mouth perfection, and the cocktails—especially the “Frida” and “Saturn”—were little works of art.

Mornings in Paradise

Breakfast at Arbolea is a vacation in itself. From the omelet station and freshly baked pastries to the made-to-order waffles and pancakes Emma adored, every bite was a reminder that this wasn’t just another hotel breakfast—it was a celebration of flavor.

Fanny and Jacobo, our servers for most of the trip, made us feel like old friends. And that’s a theme at Conrad Tulum—genuine hospitality that stays with you.

Pools, Beach & Endless Fun

For Emma, the pools were pure joy—five sparkling options, each with attentive service and poolside dining at Chiringuito Crudo and Chiringuito Carbon. Carlos, part of the pool team, always made sure we had cold drinks in hand and everything we needed to relax.

When we wanted to switch things up, the beach was a short stroll away. Conrad Tulum’s protected bay means calm, crystal-clear water—perfect for kids. Emma built sandcastles for hours while we soaked in the sun.

A Culinary Journey Night After Night

Dinner at Conrad Tulum is an adventure. Each restaurant offers its own world of flavors:

Kengai – A Japanese izakaya experience where we loved the Shabu-Shabu soup and the playful Kitiza dessert, a chocolate sphere that cracked open to reveal coconut ice cream and matcha brownie. Even picky eaters are happy here—the kids’ chicken nuggets are made with rice instead of breadcrumbs.

Maratea – Mediterranean flavors done to perfection. We savored Dolmathes, the comforting Chicken Cazuela, and a glass of Japachi II, the hotel’s own wine label. The service was flawless, making it the perfect farewell dinner.

Little Touches That Make Big Memories

Every night, housekeeping left an alebrije—a colorful hand-carved Mexican folk art figure—on our pillows, sparking Emma’s excitement to see the new creature waiting for her. Mornings often began at Cafetal, where we grabbed organic juices and pastries before exploring the jungle trails or spotting local wildlife like coatis and hermit crabs.

It was these details, along with warm greetings from staff we’d met a year before (including General Manager Francisco Corbin), that made our trip feel like coming home.
