“You get more than you pay for, really......”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2007

I just showed up at Tulum with no idea as to what to do and went down to the cabanas near the beach. Started at Don Armando's and went down the line. I bought a hammock in Merida so that I could use it out here. $10 a night if you have a hammock. I don't know why someone would need overly wonderful accomodations as you will be on the beach most of the time anyway.
The showers stopped working one day when I was there but the food is great and drinks are cheap. Not somewhere you bring someone for an anniversary, but if you are travelling on the cheap this is the place to be.

  • Liked — The beach.
  • Disliked — The lack of amenities. But, for $10 a night? Who cares?

“Truly the Don”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 December 2005

What can I say? I spent my final week of a 6 week tour of Mexico and Guatemala at Don Armando's and had an awesome time. Disregarding the slight carnage caused by Hurricane Isadora (I do not recommend cabanas in a hurricane) all was paradise here.

The stretch of beach on which Don Armando's lies is possibly the best in Tulum and was heaven for swimming and lazing.

The real fun, however, was to be had in the evenings. Being typical Brits, we took full advantage of the nightly happy hour at the bar, which was basically 2 for 1 for a couple of hours. Stay away from the 'Mayan Slaughter' or whatever it's called. They look at you funny when you accidentally order 6, ask if you're sure and say 'okaaaay...' when you naively reply in the affirmative. These are lethal drinks, consumed alight through a straw. I think I almost got in a fight that night. Like I said, typical Brit.

Go here!

Stayed September 2002
