Tulum’s Charming Casa Pueblo
This 16-room hotel offers community atmosphere, and a sanctuary from the beach scene
Hacienda-style hotel Casa Pueblo—helmed by Derek Klein and Omar Rodriguez—offers a lush oasis just meters from Tulum’s bustling downtown. Right on Av Tulum 106, the central hotel still feels like a retreat, from the sun-dappled backyard to the bright atrium. And, with just 16 guest rooms and a friendly team, there’s a decidedly familial atmosphere. The mood is nothing if not laid-back and natural; in the morning guests wander downstairs for a coffee by the pool in their pajamas and slippers or hang out and play with the resident dogs.
Klein says it’s difficult to explain his intention for Casa Pueblo’s atmosphere. “It’s hard to define with words—a place always takes on a life of its own,” he says. “I like to facilitate the vibe, but at the end of the day, the most important thing to me and to the Casa Pueblo team is that people feel comfortable and welcome. That they experience our casa as a home away from home. The design elements make for a unique space, but it’s all about the energy of a place and how one feels when they come and when they go. I hope they will always come back.”
