The perfect home for a Tulum escape. Highly recommended to spend the entirety of your stay! Impeccably situated right on a pristine stretch of beach, protected by a reef and perfect for swimming and snorkeling, this beautifully situated home felt like a home-away-from-home in paradise. The grounds are impeccably maintained. With plenty of privacy, this location has a private road with a guard gate (friendly), is a couple hundred meters away from a Cenote with tons of aquatic life (and not teeming with tourists, since it’s on a private drive), and has all the accoutrements necessary to appreciate the natural beauty of the area: hammocks, comfortable reclining beach chairs, ocean-view patios, ocean kayaks/paddleboards for guests, outdoor kitchen, sand-palm trees-flowers and exotic birds. The rooms were great. All recently constructed: tiled floors, all wood frames and furniture, comfortable beds, room refrigerators, great room fans with Persian doors (slated doors that can be opened to appreciate the sea breeze) and air conditioning when you want to close things off and get cool (also worked great, efficiently cooling entire space). Bathroom was great, shower was walk-in, tiled and new – water is solar-heated, which was great (never ran out of hot water). WiFi was perfect the entire time – I used it for working remote and took video calls privately every day, without issue. Fresh clean water serviced for the room daily, along with coffee for your in-room machine. The service was remarkable! It always helps to stay at a place where you feel welcomed, and the property owners embody the warm hospitality of the region, maintaining high standards in cleanliness, care, comfort and privacy for guests. Had breakfast every day, which they prepared using locally sourced ingredients (a majority sourced from their private plot of land in the jungle), including local fruit, eggs, banana pancakes, fresh baked pastries, homemade granola, and fresh squeezed juices daily, et al. Hosts are a wealth of knowledge on local things to see and do, places to eat, etc. They were able to arrange whale shark/manta ray excursions, culinary and ecological experiences, and cultural tourism experiences on request. They are a part of the community and have been for decades, care about sustainable development and preserving the rich ecological and cultural heritage of the area while making it accessible to guests. So you definitely have the chance to get an insider’s experience if you want it through them, but also you can just keep to yourself and chill.So anyway, highly recommended stay! The area in general isn’t well-documented in terms of things to see and do, so do yourself a favor and build in some extra time to explore this incredible region (and stay away from the dumb hotel zone and the large, foreign-owned chain hotels).
