During my three-day stay at La Zebra Hotel, I was fortunate to call a room with a view my home. As I stepped onto the balcony, a breathtaking panorama unfolded before my eyes. The glistening ocean stretched beyond the horizon, framed by a picturesque lineup of palm and coconut trees. Each morning, I found solace in sipping my coffee while soaking in the serene beauty of this coastal paradise. 

What made this experience even more heartwarming was my son’s infectious excitement. From our vantage point, he could observe people strolling along the pathway to the restaurant, a charming spectacle that ignited his curiosity. Armed with newfound confidence, he eagerly greeted each passerby with a cheerful “hola hola,” a Spanish phrase he picked up and joyfully employed countless times. Witnessing his interactions with the world outside was a delightful reminder of the simple joys that travel brings.

Here, carefully curated sculptures invite contemplation and appreciation, adding a touch of artistic elegance to the ambiance. Whether it’s a quiet escape or a source of inspiration, the sculpture area adds an extra layer of beauty to the already captivating surroundings.  

However, an unexpected source of delight awaited us in the pool area – a vintage landline phone. My son’s boundless excitement led him to playful interactions with the phone, as he explored its buttons and dials with curiosity and imagination. This quirky discovery added a whimsical layer of fun and excitement to our stay, creating cherished memories out of the simplest moments.  

Nestled next to the pool, the small child’s painting area at La Zebra Hotel provides a charming space for young artists to unleash their creativity. With vibrant colors, brushes, and canvas at their fingertips, kids had an absolute blast expressing themselves through art. The joy and laughter resonating from this corner were a testament to the immense fun and cherished memories created by this imaginative retreat. I also had a great time here with my spouse.

Exploring Beyond: Local Transport and Excursions 

During my recent stay at a charming La Zebra Tulum hotel, I was thrilled to discover their collaboration with local taxi services, promising a hassle-free way to explore the city and its attractions. Whether I wanted to meander through Tulum’s bustling streets, plan an exciting trip to Chichen Itza, or arrange airport transfers, this partnership ensured I had access to reliable transportation whenever needed. However, while I appreciated the convenience, I also couldn’t help but notice that the taxi prices arranged by the hotel were a tad higher compared to what I could find independently on the road just next to the entrance gate. Don’t get me wrong – the hotel’s priority is undoubtedly guest comfort, but for travelers who are budget-conscious like me, considering other options might be worth exploring. This insight doesn’t take away from the hotel’s commitment to providing a seamless experience, though. It’s all about finding the right balance between convenience, safety, and cost, ensuring your journey through Tulum is both smooth and wallet-friendly. We personally made use of a taxi found on the road. Two taxi drivers also gave us WhatsApp numbers and they were available when I needed them during our stay. Always rely on the official white color taxi with a number written on it. Those are the licensed taxi services. Never rely on random cars offering you a ride for your safety.  

Effortless Airport Transfers: Choices for Every Traveler 

Navigating airport transportation at La Zebra Hotel offers a range of options tailored to your preferences. The hotel offers the convenience of arranging airport transportation, although the price point may be on the higher end. Alternatively, visitors can find taxis on the road, often at a more budget-friendly rate compared to the hotel’s arrangement. For those who prefer a pre-booked option, websites like Booking.com provide a platform to secure airport transportation in advance. In my own experience, I chose to book an airport-to-hotel taxi through Booking.com, which was a smooth and seamless process. Similarly, when returning from La Zebra Hotel to Cancun, I found booking a taxi on the road to be both convenient and cost-effective. With various choices at hand, ensuring a stress-free transition between the airport and the hotel is easily achievable. 

A Wholesome Experience: Summing Up the Stay

From the attentive staff to the harmonious blend of nature and luxury, every element is carefully curated to deliver an experience that lingers long after you’ve left.
