It suits travellers who value a clear sense of what they're booking and who would rather know the trade-offs up front than discover them on arrival.

Book Your StayActual dress code
Mi Amor, an SLH Hotel, leans towards smart casual for most of your stay. During the day, particularly around the pool or beach club, swimwear with a cover-up is standard. Think linen shirts, sarongs, or sundresses.
Bare chests and very revealing swimwear are generally not permitted in the main restaurant or bar areas, even at lunchtime. As the sun sets, the dress code elevates. For dinner, men should opt for trousers or smart shorts, paired with a collared shirt or a clean, well-fitting t-shirt.
Women will feel comfortable in dresses, skirts, or smart trousers. Footwear is important; flip-flops are acceptable for daytime use but are often frowned upon for evening dining. Clean trainers or espadrilles are a better choice for dinner.
The hotel is not a place for athletic wear outside of designated activities, so leave the gym shorts and performance tees for your workout.
What locals and repeats wear
Experienced visitors and locals often favor breathable fabrics that can handle the humidity and sea air. Lightweight linen pants, loose-fitting cotton shirts, and simple, elegant sundresses are staples. Many opt for versatile pieces that transition easily from a day exploring Mayan ruins to an evening meal.
Expect to see neutral tones and natural fibers. For daytime, practical swimwear topped with a sarong or a light button-down shirt is common. Evenings might see a slightly more elevated take on this, with women in stylish kaftans or men in guayabera shirts.
Comfort is key, but always with an eye towards a polished, relaxed aesthetic that complements the natural beauty of Tulum.
What to avoid packing
When packing for Mi Amor, an SLH Hotel, consider leaving the overly casual items at home. Items that are frequently refused or simply out of place include distressed denim or ripped jeans, especially for evening meals. Similarly, graphic t-shirts with loud logos or offensive prints will not align with the hotel's sophisticated ambiance.
Avoid bringing excessive amounts of athletic wear unless you plan on using the gym; gym shorts and tank tops are not suitable for dining. Very revealing swimwear, such as thongs or string bikinis without a cover-up, should be reserved for the pool or beach only and not worn in common areas.
Finally, overly formal attire like full suits or cocktail dresses is unnecessary; the vibe here is relaxed elegance, not black tie.

Local knowledge
Footwear is key
Pack comfortable, stylish sandals or espadrilles for evenings. While flip-flops are fine for the beach, they won't pass muster for dinner at the main restaurant. Think natural materials like leather or woven fabrics.
Embrace the heat
Lightweight, breathable fabrics are your best friend. Linen, cotton, and light blends will keep you comfortable from the humid days to the balmy nights. Avoid heavy synthetics.
Day to night transition
Many guests opt for pieces that work for both day and evening. A stylish one-piece swimsuit with a chic cover-up or a light linen dress can easily transition from poolside lounging to dinner with a change of shoes and accessories.
Tips before you go
Pack a light scarf or shawl.
It adds a touch of elegance for evenings and can provide a little warmth if the sea breeze picks up.
Bring reef-safe sunscreen.
Protecting Tulum's delicate marine ecosystem is crucial, and many hotels encourage or require it.
Opt for a wide-brimmed hat.
Essential for sun protection during the day, and it adds a stylish flair to your resort look.
Consider packing insect repellent.
Especially for evenings, a natural repellent can help ward off mosquitoes without detracting from your outfit.
