I have stayed at Rancho Tranquilo many times on my trips to Tulum. It has always been affordable and the staff has always been great. If you want to go on a tour the staff has first hand knowledge about which tours are fun. Hanging out in the garden and talking to other travelers is a big plus. Pancake breakfast... More

We stayed at a cabana in Rancho tranquilo and it was quite a decent stay. The kitchen was not particularly clean and the breakfast is nothing to write home about. I was a bit p.o.'ed when I found out that they were charging for water. There is one computer and no wifi to speak of. The garden is very, very... More

This was the last hostel / Rancho that we stayed at on our 2 month trip in Central America. The first hostel and this one were our favorite. We liked that there was a common social area that encourages everyone to come together, yet space where we could have alone time too. The rooms were very quiet and large. The... More

Two of my friends and I just got back from Tulum and had a wonderful time at Rancho Tranquilo. Pepe Loco, the owner, was there to greet us when we arrived and went above and beyond to make sure our accommodations were perfect. We stayed at another condo in the area for a few nights when we were first arrived,... More

There's no denying the effect the beautiful gardens have on you as soon as you walk through the gates of Rancho Tranquillo. It's conveniently situated on the main road just up from a small hospital / medical center, about a 5 - 10 minute walk from the ADO bus station. As mentioned the gardens are absolutely beautiful and it was... More

This was our second year to go to Rancho. There are many wonderful reasons why we will always go there while in Tulum. The rooms are basic and clean with a cute little porch with a hammock. We mostly used the room just to sleep in. There are multiple places to hang out in the gardens or in the main... More

But at the end of a very busy street. Breakfast consists of 3 pancakes, so a bit boring. You can prepare your own food. The owner was friendly, so were the other guests. We've got some really good tips on diving centers, and if we ever come back to do some more cenote diving we certainly stay here sometime.

I have just enjoyed a 10 days stay in Rancho tranquilo, the nicest place in Tulum for travellers on a budget i think. What ive liked more was the beautiful garden and outside sitting area. Youll just love to wake up and eat your free pancakes under a palm tree . Youll also find a very collective/community vibe, since there... More

I visted Rancho Tranquilo over the Christmas holiday and had a wonderful time. Rancho is located in downtown Tulum. Across the street is a small market that has all the basic necessities (toiletries, groceries, beverages, phone cards, etc) and the fruit stand next door has the best quality fruits in Tulum as well as various freeze squeezed juices, nuts, and...
