The lodgings in Tulum can vary widely in price. Travelers can camp; stay in hostels, jungle-side cabins, and eco lodges; and find hotels that are very inexpensive, as long as you're open to having just the essentials and most likely no AC. Basic cabanas at places like the Papaya Playa Project start at a little less than $250 USD a night, but if you start looking at beachside high-end resorts with extra amenities, prices will quickly jump.
The hotels on Tulum beach all have different vibes, are generally beautiful, and all offer their own unique amenities. The trick is weighing what you're looking for in accommodations with how much you're willing to pay. I'm the type of traveler who is happy as long as I have a pot to pee on, but if you prefer something luxurious (which I also love!), be prepared to shell out some cash. Don't wait too long to book your spot — in high season, places sell out way ahead of time.
