We had the most wonderful stay at Bardo. Many thanks to Fernando and the whole team for being so polite, welcoming and generally lovely throughout our whole stay! The hotel is immaculate and calming, the rooms are pure luxury, the outdoor shower is amazing, the food and cocktails are delicious, and we wish we could have extended our trip! Super romantic hotel. The concierge/whatsapp assistance was great - we often messaged for some local food recommendations, cenotes etc and they responded instantly and were very helpful. It is in a perfect quiet location (the best sleep we’ve had during our travels around Mexico) and feels very safe. We also walked between 20-40 minutes in the evenings to have dinner and drinks in town (so many amazing options and very cool bars!) Felt safe, but obviously have your wits about you! You can also walk back to your room via the Una Vida entrance as they are both connected. We had a car with us and it was a 15/20 minute drive to the main Tulum beach front which we enjoyed going to for dinner one evening. A perfect spot for relaxation and recharging! Muchos Gracias.
