Azulik is the most famous hotel in Tulum, but I wouldn’t go back

Reconnecting wasn’t what we found at Azulik’s famous sunset hour, where guests were glued to their phones as the sky turned from orange to gold. Not even at the resort’s beach club, where I spotted several camera tripods, or near my treehouse, where a security guard made sure no one got a free photo opportunity.

Azulik’s stunning scenery and treehouse suite made for some beautiful pictures, and my spa massage was fun. But from hidden fees to lackluster dining, we’ve found a resort whose appeal lies mostly in Instagram.

Azulik did not respond to a request for comment.
