I do have to agree with some of the other comments made by the previous review. We have just returned from a stay in a beachfront cabana (number 1) for 11 nights. Firstly this property is in a great locaton, fantastic beach and walkable to the ruins. We paid nearly £100 a night for the room with breakfast, and yes... More

We stayed here in January of 2013 for a couple of nights. The location is breathtaking, the beach is heavenly and the Maya ruins nearby are awe-inspiring. The staff was very friendly, unlike the Italian manager who is rude and anything but customer-friendly. We've seen him being quite short with the staff, and he was certainly not even very considerate... More

My 15 year old daughter and I stayed 13 nights at La Vita e Bella end of April and 1st week of May. It was amazing! The staff was wonderful, the front desk was so friendly and helpful! Our beach front cabana was magical and kept spotlessly clean by Griselda who designed incredible towel sculptures! The restaurant served delicious food... More

I feel truly sorry for those who book this place in advance as we did. Overall, a greedy vibe. The staff is nice, Carmen very helpful, but it feels like management is very distrustful of them and everyone is looking over their shoulder. They charged me 90 pesos (9.00 usd) for extra fruit at breakfast and the waiter was instructed... More

We stayed at La Vita e Bella for seven night in March 2013. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the cabins are well spread out, so that they are quiet - apart from the sound of surf which is loud because you are right on the beach and it seems to be windy all the time. Wind is... More

We previously had spent time at Vita e Bella on day trips to use their beach chairs and restaurant when vacationing in the Tulum area. Because the beach was so perfect on the 4km stretch from this resort north towards the ruins, we decided to return and spend an entire 5-night vacation in one of their bungalows. We had a... More

When you're traveling with a 1 year old baby you're looking for a place to just chill. And you want to chill in a place that makes things relaxed, friendly, easy. La Vita E Bella was all of these. Every single member of the staff was so warm and friendly and easy going. Carmen, Griselda, Jose. These are glowing reviews,... More

I did not have a good experience at La Vita e Bella in Tulum. Everything was fine until I checked out of the hotel. They had a taxi driver pick us up and take us to the airport in Cancun. When I arrived at the airport and checked in for my flight, I was called to the gate where I... More

We apologize for the errors made with this reservation. After the first night at La Vita e Bella, the client changed to a more expensive room however upon checking out the front desk only saw the original reservation. Shortly after, upon checking in another client, they noticed the change and that a difference was due. They promptly sent a message... More

So, I will preface this review by saying that we did not actually stay here-- we stayed at one of the big resorts just north of Tulum, and happened on La Vita e Bella by chance....we hired a taxi driver to take us to the ruins one day and he told us he could take us to the most beautiful... More
