Pocna is unlike any hotel I’ve stayed in. Nestled inside reserve Jaguar Park, it offers something increasingly rare: the feeling of genuinely living in nature rather than just sleeping near it. Barefoot breakfasts, howler monkeys at dawn, iguanas wandering past your door — this is the real deal. The room was comfortable and well-equipped, which genuinely surprised me given the wild setting. The staff were attentive and warm throughout our stay. A few things to know before you book — and I mean this as useful information, not complaints: Wildlife is constant. Iguanas, coatis, tropical birds, snakes, spiders… they share the space with you. It was a delight for us, but if that idea makes you uneasy, this probably isn’t your place. The eco rules are real. No single-use plastics, no alcohol on the premises. This is part of the deal and I respected it fully — just come prepared and don’t expect a swim-up bar. Sargasso is a reality in early May. The beach was cleaned regularly, but seaweed accumulation meant we could only swim in the ocean 2 out of our 6 days. This is a natural seasonal phenomenon beyond the hotel’s control — worth factoring into your timing if ocean swimming is a priority. Who is this for? Eco-conscious travelers, nature lovers, anyone who finds beauty in simplicity and wants Tulum without the party scene. One of the most memorable places I’ve ever stayed.

Quiet, safe, great staff. Beach location might be worth the inconvenience for some being away from city center. Yoga early in the morning, Nespresso in rooms, daily breakfast is recommended.

Exactly as advertised, the hotel is located directly on one of the most beautiful beaches in Tulum, right inside the Jaguar National Park. You can literally walk straight onto the sand from your bungalow. Our room was spacious, comfortable, clean, and well-equipped. A special note: the bungalows are built with concrete and stone and have no gaps to the exterior. This means you are completely shielded from mosquitoes and wildlife, which is a huge advantage compared to the wooden bungalows found elsewhere. The included breakfast was surprisingly good; you can choose one main dish from the menu in addition to toast or pancakes. My only recommendation is to ask for an alternative to the standard 'coffee.' It’s described as an Americano, but in reality, it's more like coffee-flavored hot water! :) The hotel provides free and unlimited drinking water, as well as 4 Nescafe capsules per day : very appreciated

The hotel is in El Parque del Jaguar which means that in order to enter and exit you have to go through the guardia national. This made it so the hotel was very excluded from the touristy areas. If you are trying to access the archeological site it’s very accessible by taking the electric bus just up the road. The hotel staff were amazing!! The rooms were clean, fully stocked and in a beautiful setting.

It is such a magical area! It feels like it’s just you and the jungle & beach.

Beautiful beach location: Our room was a hut in the jungle with a veranda and views on the sea. Great setting, large room + bathroom. The hotel also removes the sargassum seaweed which makes the beach section in front of the hotel much nicer than other beach sections.

So serene and almost felt like it was all yours- we were there 5 nights and had total privacy.

It’s a great location , quiet . Room was as shown in pictures impeccably clean . Nice & friendly front desk team . Nice beach, unfortunately lots of seaweed to swimming was not possible. Nice daybeds on the beach with shield from sun. There is a couple of good restaurants within walking distance which in addition offer gorgeous views (casa Maria, mezzanine)

Really incredible hotel, could not recommend it any more highly. The sandy path through the jungle through to the private rooms was amazing. Each room feels secluded and private whilst still maintaining proximity to the facilities. The staff were excellent, the food and drinks at the beach club were high quality and fairly priced. Beds were available on the beach every day and the service was fast and professional. The pool area carved in amongst the trees overlooking the ocean was amazing. For those wanting to be a short drive (or ride) out of the main area of Tulum, you should seriously consider staying at Pocna. Despite being out of the main area, it's walking distance to other hotels that have beach clubs so we felt that we had great food options.

The hotel is very comfortable and we enjoyed our stay. The room was pleasant and the staff very friendly and enjoyed breakfast by the beach where we were visited by a coati.

The quiet, the very pleasant staff especially Orfe she helped us secure a driver and offered much information to make our stay pleasant. The restaurants nearby were very good in addition to the 2 on the property.

Perfect location

Really cool jungle vibes. Nice beach with loungers. The reception staff was very welcoming.

I have to say the people that worked there were the highlight. They were always warm, friendly, and always met our needs.

We had a beach front room and it was perfection with a comfortable bed and a stunning view. So quiet and calm - only the sound of the crashing waves. No tv or fridge but that was a-okay for me. Simple and relaxing. It was a dream and I'll for sure go back!

Staff - room - beach - vibes! Perfect

Great location right on the a beautiful beach. My bungalow was beautiful.

Amazing location, a short walk from the Mayan ruins. As it is now inside a national park we felt like we had our own private bungalow in paradise. I had no expectations before going but was really pleasantly surprised at how great it was for this price. The staff were very friendly and helpful throughout. Big thanks to the guys next door who run the boat tours who were great and were really flexible when we had some weather and had to change dates. The breakfasts were big and tasty. I would happily go back for a longer trip.

I stayed here Dec 2025 and Feb 2026, both considered off season. The property is right on Tulum Beach in Jaguar National Park and is absolute paradise. The place is pretty small- about 40 rooms/ bungalows- with friendly and helpful staff. With daily sunrise yoga and breakfast included, I barely felt the need to leave the property. Daily yoga with Brenda was a highlight for me, and why I returned to the same property 2 months later! I think all of the rooms are quite different, as I saw complaints about the bathrooms not offering privacy. Both times I stayed in beachside bungalows that had a closing door to the bathroom, that were large, clean and comfortable. The rooms don’t have TVs, which I appreciated, and WiFi is strong near the restaurants and entrance, and sporadic in the bungalows. Download your ebooks/ things to watch! The restaurant staff remembered me (today was Gerardo, Gustavo and Victoria), and the front desk people as well. Edgar said “welcome home” when I checked in this time. I saw complaints about the food so thought I’d mention that you get to choose anything off the breakfast menu, and the portions are generous. You also get juice (typically melon or piña) and coffee. I’ll add pics. The prices on Tulum Beach are like US prices- pretty high. You’re only a few miles from the town, grocery stores, and many restaurants, and some rent bicycle. Renting a car is cheap and convenient. You can visit the ruins nearby, or walk the beach daily with very little attention/ disturbances from people selling things. I snorkeled one day (only 200 pesos if you walk down the beach to the locals), and though the reef isn’t very healthy, there were turtles, rays and some colorful fish! They also offer massages and facials on- site. Many couples visit here, and young families- mostly European. I love Hotel Pocna, which is why I wrote such a long review!

The jungle atmosphere, very quiet, great sand, breakfast was good
