You cannot go wrong with a hotel right on the great Paraiso beach (beach: long and narrow, not crowded, non-scratchy sand, warm azure clean water). I repeat - HOTEL ON THE BEACH! Can't beat such an ideal location. 24/7 beach access + the archeological ruins and a fun outdoorsy shopping area within walking distance. Staff had varying levels of English (some none at all) but were generally friendly and helpful. Restaurant Coral Azul, attached to the hotel, has really nice, good food, but they close around 8 pm. I wish they stayed open past 8 pm. My room was plain and I wish the shower pressure was stronger, but I did not come to Tulum to spend my time in posh accommodations - the room was at least cleaned daily. I was able to rent a bike right through the hotel, which is appreciated as I did not have to spend time searching for bike rentals.

Great Beach Hotel

Zazil Kin was absolutely amazing! The beach was a short walk, everyone was super kind and helpful. Our cabana was more than we hoped for. If we returned, we would definitely stay here again. Short walk to Tulum Ruins and short taxi drive to town. Loved it here!!

Amazing spot

For everyone who says they should update this place, they literally were as we stayed there. Electricity was on all day as their are renovating, changed the name/sign to La Diosa, adding hot water heaters and doubling the price. 
We stayed here because it was the cheapest place on the beach and we knew what we were getting into. We called it  'glamping' to get the kids in the right mindset. We loved the location and had everything we needed-bed, dry place to keep our stuff, bathrooms and free parking. The restaurant was not open the times they had advertised. 
It was great to walk right to the ruins and beach. The staff wasn't around much. They were very friendly at the beach cafe and we traded out towels when we needed to but we had to track someone down to pay and it took over 20 minutes to connect to have the payment go through.  It will be interesting to see what it is like going forward.

Basic stay in an amazing location

Zazil Kin is definitely the most affordable option on the Paraiso beach (without opting for tents) with the best beach spot. We spent 4 days there and went for the basic cabanas that have a private loo, shower and sink (only cold water FYI) with a surprisingly comfortable bed and a minimal fan. 
If you’re looking for luxury accommodation, this is not for you. But if you’re looking for a place where you can spend all day on the beach and just use your room to sleep in, this is perfect. 
As it is one of the last places on the beach, it’s much less busy than other places, so it’s far away enough not to be bothered by people selling snorkelling trips all day but close enough to walk there in a few minutes if you like.
The restaurant is also one of the cheapest on the beach with some yummy food. The grilled prawns are hands down the best we’ve had in Tulum!
We went there during covid times so our drive into Tulum centre was actually super speedy.

Will definitely visit again!

We chose this because it is walking distance to the Archeological Site. Unfortunately, access to this hotel is at the end of a narrow road paralleling the beach, and we were traveling this road midday on a Sunday, so it took an hour to go these few miles.  Be smarter than we were by selecting a better arrival time!  Thatched roof Cabanas are scattered in the white sand dunes, perfect beach with daytime dining area is a short stroll away.  We did not pay extra for AC in our cabanas, and it was unseasonably hot.  Also, the cabanas are marginally ventillated, so we suffered.  Beds were fine, service excellent.  I especially enjoyed the well-prefared fish we ate for lunch.  One of the cabanas we rented had a toilet and tiny shower, the other required a short walk to a communal shower (in one direction) and a toileting room (opposite direction).

Picture perfect, I recommend you pay extra for the AC

The beach is beautiful and the hotel is not very expensive. However, we paid for a private cabaña with private restroom and there was not hot water! They told us that if we wanted hot water we should use the shared restrooms. Why did we pay more, then??

Beautiful beach! Nice place but...

We moved here after a week at an all-inclusive, and talk about changing gears! No power during the day in the cabana and a shared bathroom for the campsite. I'm not complaining. You step out of the cabana, right into the sand. If you pass over the dune, the beach is waiting! There is a bar on the beach that doesn't stay open late. There is a bar connected to reception as well. There is a charging area for electronics that stays open all night (I think). Thankfully, the power is on the cabanas at night to keep the fan circulating the air. There weren't a lot of windows in this tiny thatched house. Take a walk and go to Kitchen Table for dinner! Take a cab to the ruins and grocery store and restaurants and do ALL THE THINGS!

Cabana in the sand, just right for our mood...

The setting by the beach with white sand and palm trees amongst the cabanas is spectacular, like a dream. Yet the place itself is really far from the centre of Tulum and you have to take a taxi which is not the easiest. You have a dilemma whether to stay in Tulum centre and be far from the beach or stay close to the beach and be far from Tulum centre. It depends on what you value doing more. 
Back to the hotel - i think this was once of the cheapest options of staying in a cabana next to the beach. Still expensive though about USD 80-100 per night. So for such price you'd expect certain standards, right? Unfortunately inside the cabana was super basic (which I have nothing against) but not funcional and really run down. There was no place on the wall on anywhere really to put your stuff on, not even a hook in the wall, felt dirtyish. It was really not pleasant to be there, not relaxing. I love basic stuff but it just wasn;t nice which could be with just a little bit more effort.  

Good but not great

The kitchen/bar staff were rude. Asking for a cup of coffee early in the morning was met with huffing and puffing and slamming down coffee mugs. That’s on the occasion I wasn’t ignored. Service was a little better if I sat at a table and waited, I assume because they expected a service tip then, rather than just letting me buy a coffee to take back to my cabin.

The cabin roof rained in during bad weather and the whole room absorbed the moisture leaving pillows and fresh clothes feeling damp for days. 

Service to the sun beds was hit and miss. We expected no hot water to the cabins, but there was also no hot water to the communal showers. The place has great potential but just lets itself down in areas, making simple pleasures become hard work to enjoy.

Bad service in a good setting

The good thing about this place is that it is located just off a beautiful unspoilt beach. Unfortunately that is where the positives end as the cabanas, staff and restaurant are very poor indeed. The staff, and there are at any one time at least ten of them hanging around doing very little are rude and lazy at best. The restaurant is overpriced-they charge the same prices as the smarter places down the road (Hartwood, Arca etc) despite the food being basic. The cabanas resemble a dungeon with no windows, electricity, or toilets, you have to walk to a toilet block which is 100 metres away and for reasons known only to the owners is constanly locked. The WiFi and electricity also only works in the hotel lobby so if you  want to charge your phone or contact anyone you will have to leave the beach and hang around in a dark room for a while. My advice is to avoid his place and splash out and stay in the area a few miles away where most of the hotels and restaurants are.
