A beachside boutique hotel with just 30 rooms, the upscale Hotel Jashita is an elegant little piece of paradise. The property sits on a gorgeous, if slightly rocky beach a 20-minute drive north of Tulum with almost nothing nearby; it's peaceful, though rental cars are necessary to explore. Rooms are refined and modern, with details like four-poster beds, spacious terraces, and modern amenities. Sahara restaurant provides a romantic and popular place to dine, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner, including a poolside grill that's fired up in the evenings. Kayaks and snorkeling gear are available, and there's a beachside pool and kids' pool. Guests looking for something more central might opt for Kore in the Tulum's Hotel Zone, which is equally swish and a bit less expensive.
