Mantaray Tulum
Private beach and ground-floor family rooms
About this hotel
Mantaray Tulum sits directly on a private beach area, roughly six kilometres from the Xel-Ha entrance, with a pool that has genuine sea views and a garden and terrace for unwinding after a morning of snorkelling. Ground-floor family rooms and units make life easier with a stroller, cot or a toddler who still needs help with stairs, and the family-friendly restaurant serves American, Mexican, local and international cuisine with vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options across brunch, lunch and dinner. Soliman Bay Beach is a few steps away for a change of scenery, and Tulum's Mayan ruins sit about fifteen kilometres off, close enough for a half-day trip without eating into pool time back at the hotel and the beach out front.
- Private beach access
- Ground-floor family units
- Sea-view pool
- Wide dietary options at restaurant
Our take
Mantaray Tulum suits families who want genuine beachfront access alongside ground-floor family rooms, without the scale of a bigger resort complex to navigate. The dietary range at the restaurant is a real advantage for groups with mixed needs, and the sea-view pool adds a second option beyond the sand itself. It's less suited to travellers chasing a quiet, adults-only atmosphere or a larger, resort-style pool complex with more amenities.
- ✓Request a ground-floor family room early, especially if travelling with a stroller, cot or toddler.
- ✓Ask the restaurant about dietary options in advance if anyone in your group needs gluten-free or dairy-free meals.
- ✓Combine a Xel-Ha morning with an afternoon at Soliman Bay Beach, just a few steps from the property.

Why guests love itThe ground-floor room meant no wrestling a stroller up stairs after a tiring morning at Xel-Ha, which made a bigger difference than expected once everyone was exhausted. The private beach area gave us somewhere quieter than a public stretch of sand, and the restaurant's gluten-free options meant nobody had to compromise on dinner. Six kilometres to the park kept mornings simple and genuinely unrushed for once.
