Hip Hotel by Ana y José - All Inclusive

Las instalaciones en general tienen mucho orden, limpios y adoc al lugar; los cuartos son sencillos pero limpias y ordenadas, los alimentos buenos y el personal muy amable y atentos.

As some meme I saw on instagram put it: when you go somewhere with your kids, it’s a trip. When you go somewhere without your kids, it’s a *vacation*. Well, Ana y Jose managed to make our first trip to Tulum since we had our child feel like a *vacation* again. My wife and I loved Tulum pre-kids (it’s worth the hassle to get to Tulum, trust me) but the place we went to last time did not seem to be child friendly. Ana Y Jose by contrast were extremely child friendly, with amenities like kids food (I didn’t come to mexico to eat chicken fingers but evidently my 2 year old did!), a kids club, kids beach toys to keep our toddler preoccupied playing in the sand, and above else, staff who were incredibly attentive and kind to our toddler—and to us! Every member of the staff was friendly and helpful, but I must thank the ones who went above and beyond Omar, who made our daughter feel like a princess (while keeping the drinks flowing for the queen and king of course). Pablo, who made sure our toddler’s fruit plate was sliced up finely enough so she could grab it with her little toddler fingers. Pau, the versatile and responsive host who helped the train from going off the rails when our au pair got badly ill (it wasn’t the food, don’t worry!) All in all it was a practically perfect vacation where we got to feel proper Tulum vibes while still parenting. We will definitely be coming back to Ana y Jose!
