Pal Mar Glamtainer Tulum0

Cute design and comfy rooms in the containers on the beach road. Everything on Tulum Beach is quite pricey so I wouldn't say this place is good value for money per se but it is a great 'budget' option if staying on the beach. Bed was comfy, hot shower, good aircon and wifi as well as filtered water available for guests.

As some others have mentioned it can get quite loud in the area but that is not the properties fault but due to the location. Host could have been a bit more helpful with advice on where to get coffee (GoMart right next door was never recommended to me instead he mentioned a coffee shop 1km away) and it would be nice if they struck a better deal for beach club access.

The accommodation is centrally located in Zona Hotelieara (the hotel zone) with numerous bars and restaurants in the area. The hotel is only a 10min taxi ride so super easy access from Tulum Town. It doesn’t have it’s own swimming pool, but the hotel across the street (Coco Unlimited) gives access to the pool and the beach for a minimum spend in their restaurant, and they offer a discount for the Pal Mar guests. The room was spacious and I had air conditioning, a very comfy bed mattress and super good WiFi, as well as hot shower. Beach towels are also provided, which I think it’s a nice and very useful touch! Deco is cute, with locally sourced pieces, giving the place an air of authenticity. The housekeeper cleaned my room daily, changed the bins and refreshed the toilet paper etc. Although there is no safe box in the room, I felt comfortable leaving my work phone, money and my passport in the room for the duration of my stay. Sergio, the General Director was super helpful and friendly and gave me a lot of information about the area and things to do etc. He is very professional and kind and very reliable.

excellent location in the middle of Tulums hotel zone, note it isn’t actually on the beach it’s just on the other side of the beach road you can walk to the back in literally one minute, very good price for the location and surprisingly smart. the rooms are in metal containers but are designed smart and modern inside with aircon included. I’d happily return. parking also available. also decent wifi which is a rarity in Tulum.

Really cool aesthetic throughout! Very cozy, comfortable room. AC was great and bug spray etc all available. Amazing location, all the bars and restaurants on the strip are walking distance..like 20mins and under for the majority. Access to beach via coco was great too.

Door key was a bit fiddly sometimes so had to keep trying to open the lock. Lighting in the room is not bright so not ideal for those doing make up. A full length mirror would have been appreciated too.

Really nice, and different, place to stay. All worth it. Even though it’s containers, they were way more comfortable and had more and better facilities than other places we’ve been for the same price. It’s pretty, actually quiet and ‘picture perfect’ 😉

When it rained it was so cosy and nice, but there came water in through the door. I believe that’s fixable ☺️

The room is super airy, clean, the beads are really comfortable, well air conditioned. For the price and beach location - I couldn’t ask for more. The beach is right across Coco Limited and it’s ine of the most beautiful and well kept parts of the beach. You can also get breakfast there, unless you want to walk around to near places.

It would be good to have a point of contact or more of an ‘Entrance’ to the area but the staff was nice and helpful when they were there.

It was a simple set up, everything you need is close by. The glamtainers are situated at the end of the property which gave us privacy and our own little area to relax and enjoy. The hangers and beach towels provided were appreciated

Since its on the Main Street you would hear most of the noise. Our air conditioning is not that strong during the day and seems like powered was share between the 2 containers situated side by side. The sliding glass door is not easy to maneuver but doable

Location. Price. Rooms.

The container was great!

We chose this specific location because there was a note about being affiliated with the beach club in front. We were quite disappointed to have no beach access unless we paid a fee to enter (even if we just wanted to cross over and not use the beach club amenities). The staff at the beach club in front were quite rude, so that was too bad.

Loved the location, just outside the chaos of tulum beach so you’re walking distance from the parties, but don’t have to hear the music when choosing to stay in. The bed was super comfy, the ac worked great. Simple/basic, but super cute room. It felt very private, like an oasis. Special treat having sheets changed half way through my stay 🙌 also can’t beat the price for the location and what you’re getting. I really loved my stay here.

I wish there had been a space where there’s some basic kitchen items provided like a kettle and a fridge to store possible leftovers. Aside from that, everything was honestly great.
