Classy. This is the word you will say over and over again to describe your Conrad Tulum Resort experience.
Enter through the resort’s massive hand-carved doors and catch your first glimpse of the Caribbean Sea. You are struck by the richness of the wood displayed in the doors, the front desk, and the furniture in the open-air lobby. You learn the wood is called Tzalam, native to the Yucatan, and is one of the most exotic timbers in the world.
As you converse with the team at the front desk and then are escorted to your suite, you discover that the engaging personalities of the first three Conrad Tulum team members aren’t a one-and-done. The natives of this Yucatan region exude a Mayan spirit that is welcoming and conscientious. These charming personal ingredients translate into a guest stay that is simply enchanting.
Accommodation Sensation
Classy. Your accommodation “wow” first impression comes when the door to your suite opens, and you are introduced to the Caribbean Sea for the second time in five minutes. An ocean view never gets old, and the recurring water images found at the Conrad Tulum will feed that need tenfold.
Special touches are sprinkled throughout your suite. The word “welcome” is spelled out on the foot of your bed. Paintings from local artisans grace the wall. The espresso coffee machine is primed and ready to go.
There is more of the signature Tzalam wood threaded throughout the finishes in your suite, and the bathroom features his and her sinks. The Conrad Tulum ambassador who walked you to your guestroom points out that your shower window opens to a … you guessed it, an ocean view. Step outside to your balcony and discover a private plunge pool.
Restaurants Galore
Classy. Foodies will be delighted when they discover that the Conrad Tulum has 11 restaurants and bars. Dining specialties include Asian, Japanese, Mediterranean, seafood, and Michelin-award-winning Mexican. There is a good chance that your vacation may align with one of the culinary special events offered throughout the year.
The mission of these restaurants is to celebrate flavors that bring people together. Each of the resort’s dining venues delivers a unique vibe, and the plethora of entrée choices will stir your soul.
The resort’s emphasis on architectural flair continues at these aesthetically unique restaurants. Accents include a tunnel of bamboo, water cascades, and natural stone that is distinctive to the Yucatan.
Ocean Therapy
Classy. The Conrad Tulum is home to a private white sand beach and five pools. Each pool has easy access to a palapa restaurant to serve your every food and beverage desire.
For those who wish to take relaxation to another level, the Conrad Spa offers wellness to the sky and back. The indoor-outdoor fusion the resort is known for is front and center at this calming spa that pays homage to the region’s cenotes.
The spa has a spherical opening that allows rainwater in. Guests move through the spa on wooden planks and look up to a blue sky opening. The textures woven in the massage areas also feature the Tzalam wood. The floor-to-ceiling windows open to nature but still provide privacy.
A Paradise Awaits
Classy. Conrad Tulum’s concierge team is on hand for guests wishing to explore and discover what the mystical region surrounding the resort has to offer. Options include archeology, nature, yachting, wine, and championship golf.
The city of Tulum is a favorite for archeology buffs with its pyramid-shaped temple and surrounding ruins. This archeological site is perched high on a cliff and overlooks a breathtaking view of the Caribbean Sea. You may also enjoy Tulum by sea via The Yachting Experience. Your journey includes a chef, a mixologist, snorkeling gear, and paddleboards. Golfers will thrill to playing the Robert Trent Jones Jr.-designed PGA Riviera Maya Golf Course. Your 18-hole round features extraordinary course conditions, cenotes, and tropical wildlife.
For the guest whose top vacation priority is a rejuvenating vacation elevated by beautiful ocean views… Conrad Tulum Resort will not disappoint. The prophetic note you received on your first day said it all: Welcome to our sanctuary of wonders. On your last day, you reflect on the resort, the food, the experiences, the service, and think, “Conrad Tulum Resort. Classy.” https://conradtulumrivieramaya.com/
