The Yellow Nest Tulum
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
The Yellow Nest Tulum is worth booking if you want a quiet 5-star jungle stay near cenotes, with warm service, at a price far below what luxury often costs. It is not for travellers who want to walk to town, since no distances to the centre or the coast are confirmed and the location score is its weakest number.

Couples looking for calm will get the most from it. Guests describe a peaceful jungle setting within walking distance of local cenotes, and a team that gives a warm welcome and personal service. A spa, pool, garden and terrace are listed.
Skip it if you want to stroll to restaurants and nightlife. The location score is 8.3, lower than its overall score, and we have no verified distances to any sights. Free parking is listed, which suggests a car will be useful, but check how you will get around before booking.
Location and getting around
The address is Carretera Federal Cancun Tulum Km 124 Jacinto Pat, Parque Dos Ojos. That places it on the federal highway rather than in a town street grid.
Our data includes no nearby sights with distances, so we cannot tell you how far the town centre, the beach or any landmark is. Check the map yourself and ask the hotel about taxis or transfers. Guests do say local cenotes are within walking distance.
What guests say
The Yellow Nest Tulum scores 8.9 out of 10 from 436 reviews, a mid-sized sample.
Service is the clearest strength. Guests describe a friendly, attentive team and a personalised welcome. The setting comes next, praised as peaceful and close to the cenotes.
The pool is the main complaint. Guests like its natural design with cenote water, but many say it is often cold and sometimes dirty. If a heated, polished pool is what you want, this may disappoint.
Price and how it compares
The reference price was €118.33 per night, about €236.66 for 2 nights. These are reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults, not live quotes. Check today's price for your dates.
The sample median was €104.98, so this 5-star sat only slightly above it. Our Budget pick, Sunday Hotel Naala, Downtown Tulum, cost €46.24 with an 8.1 score and 4 stars. Our Best Value pick, Elements Tulum Boutique Hotel, cost €48.97 with an 8.8 score and 4 stars.
You pay roughly €70 more per night than either of them. In return you get a fifth star, a spa and a jungle setting, while the guest score is only 0.1 above the Best Value pick.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 7 eligible hotels in Tulum. Our Luxury slot goes to official 5-star hotels first, and The Yellow Nest Tulum combined that rating with an 8.9 score, joint second of the 7.
Its moderate price for a 5-star, close to the city median, also helped.
