Hilton has raised the bar in the All-Inclusive world with their new Hilton Tulum.
This brand new resort has one of the most unique layouts that we have seen.
In a nutshell: Go before the masses find it! Hilton Tulum surrounds a bay located on the soft white sand that Tulum is known for. Yes, it takes about 90 minutes (on a good day) to get there from the Cancun airport, but it is worth the ride. Tulum was an old school hippie enclave and most of the resorts are smaller boutique-style, but the new Hilton Tulum Riviera Maya – with 735 rooms – is a ‘hotspot’ on the Yucatan Peninsula where you get pampered while experiencing the Mayan culture and lifestyle as it was in the 12th Century.
After a 90-minute (+/-) shuttle from the Cancun airport, you enter a jungle that opens up to a very unique resort layout.

A unique historical tidbit…
The area around Tulum is full of coral reefs and rocks.
When sea-faring traders would arrive at Tulum to buy and sell goods, an experienced local Mayan fisherman would have to go out and navigate the boats through the obstacles to reach the shore.
Due to the danger, few tried to conquer the Mayans who were holed up in El Castillo, a fortified lookout built high over the surrounding cliffs. So much of the original construction is still in the same shape it was in the 12th Century.
