La vista dall'appartemento all'ultimo piano e il terrazzo sono incredibili, da queso punto di vista una delle sistemazioni più belle del nostro viaggio in Yucatàn. La struttura è isolata il giusto, permettendoti di essere a soli 20-25 minuti dal centro di Tulum ma sentendoti immerso nella natura silenziosa. La struttura si trova in una stradina semi privata con un guardiano all'ingresso che controlla chi transita perchè si tratta di una via di ville private e alberghi di un certo livello, quindi non c'è traffico o gente in giro che non alloggi nelle strutture presenti. La casa è davvero grande e con tutto il necessario per cucinare e godersi un pranzo in terrazza. Al piano terra ci sono lettini e amache più che in abbondanza per tutti i residenti dei 6 appartamenti, attorno alla piscina, sulla spiaggia, in mezzo alle palme. La piscina è ben tenuta e della dimensione ottimale, una soluzione perfetta in caso di Sargasso, molto frequente nella zona. A disposizione anche dei Kayak se si vuole girare un pò lungo la costa. Nella proprietà "vivevano" anche un procione e un Cauti, oltre a diverse iguane e enormi paguri, insomma, molto divertente. Non aspettatevi un albergo con tutti i servizi ma più un'appartamento in cui sentirsi a casa.
Tutto ottimale.
Qualité des prestations, suite spacieuse au rdc, très confortable, vue incroyable sur la magnifique piscine, la plage et la mer et entouré de nature On était seuls (famille de 5) et Enrique et Carmen étaient vraiment aux petits soins avec nous (très discrets mais toujours présents si besoin)
Rien, il vaut mieux avoir une voiture pour accéder à l’établissement
1. The location is gorgeous and relaxing 2. Everything related to facilities, services, and the host was perfect 3. You basically don't need to go to any nature reserve when staying here since diverse wild animals and birds are always present at the location
1. Faucets in the bathrooms were leaky and really poorly designed in terms of usability
Sehr ruhige und entspannte Lage. Extrem freundliches Personal. Super schöner Garten mit Tieren. Sehr schöne Wohnung. Late check out war ohne Zuzahlung möglich. Die Strecke zur Unterkunft ist etwas holprig. Aber wer sagt es wäre unmöglich der hat sie nicht mehr alle. Die Straße hat ein paar Schlaglöcher aber alles kein Problem.
Meer extrem flach.
The penthouse was really spacious and I loved the greenery around. The little pool on the balcony was great too. The penthouse had 2 AC units which was very good. They had a 20l water bottle and lots of delicious fruits for us upon arrival lasting for many days, was a nice touch we appreciated. The host was available via WhatsApp and replied quickly to any messages, which was really appreciated.
1. Dirt road with lots of topes is really bumpy! However, it is not unique to this dirt road, we've been to a cenote and a nature museum, both had really crap bumpy dirt roads. Just something to be aware of. 2. As with many places in Mexico the toilet paper is not to be flushed. Even with collecting it in the bin the second toilet got blocked and overflew on the first morning. Unpleasant, but the host checked it afterwards and we had no further incidents like that afterwards for the rest of our stay. 3. We didn't have wifi for half of our stay as the cables got damaged during some work in the neighborhood. Not the host's fault though, and they provided access to another wifi that worked by the pool. Luckily we had a local SIM with some data we could share via hotspot. However, I need to mention to be fair that during the first few days when we did have wifi, it was speedy enough for everything we needed it. Others will likely have no wifi issues. 4. They say store all your food items in the fridge as little bugs can come in. It is true! I opened a bag of crisps the first night and put it in the Tupperware container I found there so bugs can't access it. However, I didn't notice the seal of the container was broken. The next day it was full of these ever so tiny little bugs I've never seen before - so much smaller than ants. The next day we bought zip lock bags and had no issues afterwards. Bring some with you!
Очень стильные и удобные апартаменты. Захотелось вернуться ещё раз. Достаточно дикая природа. Очень спокойно и умиротворенно.
A spacious apartment with an outstanding view. We had all sorts of wildlife visiting and mostly had the property to ourselves. The pool was spotlessly clean as were the rooms and gardens. A welcome basket of fresh fruit and water was a lovely touch. The beds were super comfortable and huge. Linen was refreshed every three days as well. We were very sad to leave. Enrique and Carmen were very helpful and quick to respond to our requests. Communication is thorough and any correspondence is answered promptly. We had a rental car so getting around was easy. We will definitely return if we have the opportunity to do so. If you’re looking for peace and quiet and not a resort we highly recommend Tulsayab.
The outdoor furniture is a bit tired. It isn’t a not like. Just an observation. There isn’t an oven but that again is worked around. It’s not a deal breaker.
We had a penthouse which was very spacious and had a great terrace. Nice.view on the sea - very relaxing place. The swimming pool was also great. The sea - not so much, but it was possible to use kayaks for free. The location is remote, quiet at night. The kitchen was equipped well enough. We received some fruits and veggies as a welcome gift
The road is not great but doable with a regular car when driving slowly. It was a bit difficult to adjust the air conditioning at night.
Super ruim verblijf, geweldig uitzicht, van alle gemakken voorzien en het zwembad/aankleding is door een ringetje te halen. Heel mooi opgezet met veel smaak. Veel rust en natuur. Genieten!
Hier en daar mag er wel een likje verf komen. De deuren klemmen (badkamer en voordeur), beddengoed en handdoeken mogen wel vervangen worden en de deuren van het verblijf achter de voordeur konden niet op slot
Communication facile avec l'hôte, qui est resté flexible avec nos horaires d'arrivée. Le penthouse est super, la vue est magnifique et fait vraiment l'effet waouh en arrivant. La literie est bonne. Un lit bébé nous a été mis a disposition ainsi qu'une baignoire pour enfant, merci pour ça. Le calme, le fait de se sentir isolé et non dans un gros resort. La plage est superbe, le jardin extérieur est bien exploité. La mise à disposition des canoes est très appréciée. Ca aurait été un vrai plus de mettre un disposition un petit déjeuner le matin.
L'appartement n'était pas propre. Le sol était sale. Nous retrouvions des cheveux par terre et dans les serviettes propres. Le ménage quotidien était fait mais on s'est rendus compte qu'ils faisaient simplement le lit, sans laver les surfaces de la cuisine ou autre donc ce n'était pas un réel ménage. Le matériel n'est pas à la hauteur du prix : il manque des ustensils de cuisine, les couverts sont de basse qualité, les chaises extérieures sont déjà toutes fissurées et pas vraiment solides. Bien que l'établissement ne soit pas loin de tulum, la route pour accéder au logement est compliquée, avec énormement de nid de poule, ce qui nous rend un peu isolés.
Ce lieu est un petit paradis. La baie est très belle et nous avons pu en profiter pour faire du snorkeling sans sargasse. Les canoës et paddle mis à disposition gratuitement sont très appréciables. La piscine est très agréable. Un coati et un iguane sont venus nous rendre visite sur la plage. La terrasse depuis l’appartement en rooftop est superbe. Nous aurions aimé rester plus longtemps.
La route pour accéder au logement est parsemée de trous, il est nécessaire de rouler lentement mais elle reste praticable. Les premiers commerces sont relativement éloignés, ce qui fait aussi partie du charme de l’endroit
Eine schöne ruhig aber aus unserer Sicht zentral gelegene Unterkunft. Mit Mietwagen alle Sehenswürdigkeiten und Aktivitäten schnell zu erreichen. Eine wunderschöne Anlage mit schöner Flora und Fauna. (Nasenbären, Aguris, Leguane , Rochen ) Kajaks und SUP waren immer parat, Personal immer verfügbar und sehr hilfsbereit! Sandspielzeug, Wasserspielzeug, sowie Schnorchel und Wasserschuhe vorhanden (wir haben unser eigene Ausrüstung dabei)
Wenn man ganz pingelig sein möchte, dann dass der Herd Ewigkeiten gebraucht hat bzw. Ist es auch möglich dass die Töpfe nicht kompatibel zum Herd sind. Aber das ist schon da höchste an Dingen, die man als störend empfinden konnte.
The location is perfect for peace and quiet
Todo. El lugar es soñado.
Stylish, clean, secure. Wonderful views. Well proportioned and tranquil.
Everything was great.
La tranquillité, le confort de l’appartement et du site
Un séjour de rêves avec un personnel vraiment aux petits soins Nos enfants ont adorés le lagon et voir les animaux la journée Vraiment une superbe déconnection et vraiment près de tulum pour faire les courses et aller au resto

Le falta un poco de mantenimiento
C'est un endroit très reposant. Il y a des kayaks à disposition et des endroits pour observer les poissons en snorkling en se rapprochant de la barrière de corail. Nous avons vraiment passé un super séjour !
Nous avons passé 5jours/4 nuits dans un appartement doté de 2 chambres au premier étage. Appartement un peu isolé et donc au calme. Très bien équipé pour se faire de bons petits plats. La situation est idéale pour ceux qui aiment le calme et le repos. La piscine est chouette et nous a permis un petit rituel de rinçage après chaque bain en mer ! Petits animaux en tout genre dans le jardin : agoutis, chat, iguane, Koatis,écureuils, colibris, pélicans,… Bref c’était le top pour nous qui avions vraiment besoin d’une pause ressourçante.
Peut-être les chaises de la salle à manger qui sont trop basse par rapport à la table.
Exceptional place. The host is very friendly and helpful, they are there 24/7 which makes your stay safe. Bed to beach distance is like 30m with plenty of facilities like sunbeds, pool, even lifevest and swimming googles. Beautiful views, sunset, NOBODY in the vicinity. In the house you have unlimited bottled water, fruits, coffee and everything you need. The house is older but very well maintained and clean. There are even wild, friendly animals which are not dangerous and don't cause any problems. And you can take a shower looking at part of the jungle, which is just behind the window.
The route to the house is like 15min from the main road and 10min is driving thru a very bumpy part.
An amazing place to stay and truly unwind. Peaceful, calm, and surrounded by beautiful nature. It was exactly what we needed for a relaxing getaway. Highly recommend.
Nous avions le grand appartement dernier étage avec petit jacuzzi la vue est exceptionnelle,la grandeur du logement incroyable avec baie vitrée tout le long , la vue sur la mer et la forêt à l’arrière…la nourriture la bonbonne d’eau offert ….., la place de parking privée pour chaque logement incroyable…la grande piscine …le petit accès pour se baigner à la mer …a 20mn de tulum au calme …le chemin est largement praticable en voiture
Rien
The apartment and the access to swimming pool, beach and bay
It is not very pleasant to walk around and not a lot of places to go walking distance. But it is not fault of the property but the general area
Loved the location and being in a quiet area. We’re a family with 2 kids under 10 and they loved the wildlife; we had visits from small furry animals and big geckos. The beds were super comfy with nice soft linen. We loved the kayaks provided which we could paddle out to sea in, the kids were able to row themselves which was fun. We could snorkel and the sea was very calm compared to the main beaches in Tulum. Enrique was great and having him on hand was really useful.
A few more kitchen items would have been useful. There was no oven and we didn’t notice until after we’d bought food to cook in it!
Everything
Nothing
Tout simplement, tout est parfait. La vue depuis l’appartement que nous occupions au dernier étage, la plage ainsi que la piscine privée, la propreté des locaux, l’attention d’une corbeille de fruit et du café lors de notre arrivée. Un endroit juste parfait pour se reposer et déconnecter.
Le chemin pour arriver à l’établissement est vraiment cabossé, mais possible avec une petite voiture en faisant attention (bien que cela n’est pas de rapport direct avec l’hébergement). Également, prévoir de la nourriture en amont car le supermarché le plus proche que nous avons trouvé est à 20 min (distance jusqu’au centre de Tulum).
Génial ! Logement grand, luxueux, bien équipé, nous avons adoré venir 2 jours. Personnel très sympathique. On est au petit soin et on nous demande si tout va bien durant notre séjour De belles attentions à l'arrivée (fruits, eau) Accès direct sur la mer
La route pour y accéder. Nous le savions mais il faut vraiment faire attention et ne pas venir avec une voiture trop basse. Des cailloux pour la mer mais ça garantit la tranquillité
Schöne ruhige Anlage. Sehr nette Gastgeber, alles perfekt
Cudowny widok z najwyższego apartamentu, dobre wyposażenie, wygodne, duże łóżko, owoce na przywitanie. Na miejscu można za darmo wypożyczyć kajak
Około 3km dojazdu do apartamentu drogą w złej kondycji
We spent 2 nights in a top floor apartment, which has a stunning view onto the sea on one side and onto woodland on the other where far away the coast turns inland again. There is a huge roof top terrace with a small pool to sit in, which we did not use since we used the large one in the garden. There are deck chairs on the terrace and side of the pool and also few meters further at the rocky shore. There is a small stoney inlet into the sea, which we used going snorkeling. The bay is protected by a reef, good for swimming. We did not see much when snorkeling, so did not try a second time. The apartment itself is great, not just for the view. 2 bathrooms with showers and toilet, a large bed, a sofabed, nice kitchen with a huge fridge and freezer, coffe machine, microwave, toaster (iron board, iron, hairdryer, clothes horse). You have aircon, fans and windows with moscitonets as choice. At night it is quite, we slept very well. The couple who let us in and helped with the luggage was very nice. We had a rented car that was SUV which was good for the quite bumpy road, however there are othe cars who did the road also and there are plans to improve the road once more.. We had a really good time!
The property is beautiful. Excellent staff, especially Enrique. Unexpected wildlife was awesome. We'll be back with family.
Rough and remote road, I'm glad I rented a car. It would be 1400 pesos one way to get into town otherwise.
We loved the privacy, the spacious and clean apartment, and especially the beautiful views from the top floor at Tulsayab! The caretakers, Enrique and Carmen, were so pleasant and friendly and they kept the unit and grounds very clean! I also enjoyed the fresh fruit they provided and even used the blender to make a delicious tropical licuado. I liked the special touches here, like the handmade table runner and hand painted.signs. I did enjoy snorkeling out in the bay and swimming in the infinity pool but the best part were the amazing sunsets (and the serene mornings) from the private pool on our spacious patio!!!! Will definitely highly recommend and will be working hard to be able to come back to this little piece of paradise!
I didn't like the drive coming in too much. When we left I timed our drive from the parking space to the highway...20 minutes. If we rented an SUV we probably could have went a bit faster but there were some sections with lots of large potholes that made it tough. But once we arrived, we didn't want to leave!
The apartment is located right on the shore, which is great. The rooms are big, clean and well-lit, kitchen is fully equipped. Complimentary kayaks and snorkeling equipment are a nice touch.
The last 3km leading to Tankah Bay is a dirt road with lots of potholes - nothing a regular car cannot manage, but that spoils the overall impression.
It was well kept and comfortable
The feel of the apartment and space provided. The pool and grounds were very well kept.
Great place, great value for money .we loved it
Really well equipped, modern and spacious apartment. Lovely. Amazing views. Just awesome. Quiet. Friendly helpful onsite staff.
Virtually no shade on the balcony. It's a fabulous spot - but too hot in the heat of the daytime sun. Needs an awning over at least part of it. Long drive down a bumpy dirt track.
The property is BEAUTIFUL! The pool was a little cloudy... possibly from sand. Unsure.
We were there in July which is also seaweed/ algea/ red tide season so the beach so the bay was inaccessible. Not the fault of the owners just kinda a bummer.
Superbe logement, avec une vue à couper le souffle. Piscine très propre, plage aussi. Possibilité d'utiliser le kayak et de faire du snorkeling directement depuis le logement. L'appartement est très bien équipé, l'accueil impeccable. Très calme et confortable, je recommande !
Everything was perfect and we had a wonderful vacation!
The apartments could benefit from clothes drying racks or alternatively more hooks in the bathroom/ bedrooms.
El Penthouse tiene unas vistas maravillosas a todos lados. El apartamento está bien equipado, algunas cosas muy nuevas, otras mas viejas. Ventiladores y aire acondicionado funcionaban bien. El personal era muy amable en general, y nos regalaron una cesta grande de fruta al llegar.
El sofá-cama era muy incómodo. Los equipos de snorkel no eran completos.
Prachtige accommodatie echt een droom! Er loopt van alles op t terrein, leguanen, neusvarkens etc. Heerlijke plek om tot rust te komen. Neem wel een tas boodschappen mee, er is niet veel in de omgeving
It was absolutely perfect!
Privacy in the penthouse! Wow, it was wonderful!
The accommodation was in a beautiful location, the beach was available right next to the apartment. The pool was clean every day and the staff were lovely and friendly. We really enjoyed our stay here and can only recommend it. It was really quiet and peaceful here.
Location is great with friendly staff.
We stayed for 6 nights, it would be nice to have a pod coffee machine, larger cutting board and tongs for the BBQ.
The property was incredibly clean, quiet, and had lots of different spots for lounging.
We liked everything about the property.
Amazing facility, away from busy Tulum.
The location was amazing if you want peace and serenity and the most beautiful view of the beach from your own private access.
The room could have been cleaner. The power went out on my 3rd night and I woke up sweating really bad. Also ants were in the kitchen area so I didn’t want to utilize that space.
The apartment, location, and service were amazing. The main photograph doesn't do it justice because it isn't taken in the sun. We had three balconies and a sea view, and we could sunbathe by the pool or on the private beach. There are canoes and snorkeling equipment to use free of charge, hammocks, a little shop a short walk away, and even Casa Cenotes a ten or fifteen minute walk. We messaged for help when we dropped a bracelet on the balcony between the panels and they were with us within 5 minutes and got it back.
Nothing about the development. We were unsure about the location before we got there because it looks remote, but there's restaurants within walking distance, and a security point as you leave the main road. We ended up wishing we stayed longer. As has been mentioned, the drive to it is very bumpy, but that's normal for the area due to conservation. Having a car would give you flexibility.
Spacious apartment, fully equipped, nice gardens around the pool, access to the sea with shallow waters, ideal with kids. Snorkelling equipment and kayak at disposal although one was broken.
Beach is rocky, the bay is lovely but has quite a few high rise buildings and more in constructions.
Beautiful calm bay. Gorgeous views from penthouse with large deck.
The provided watercraft could be upgraded- but a minor issue.
Spacious clean and well equipped apartment in a beautiful location at the beach. We loved the water sport equipment to explore the bay. Would definitely stay there again.
It was so peaceful, not a lot of tourists. Or people around.
We wish it would have been closer to a grocery store, we were prepared and had pre ordered grocery delivery. The knifes were terrible, a good way to get cut, super dull.
The apartment is beautiful, the terrace a pleasure, the location pure bliss. We got plenty of fruit on our arrival and the little pool is really a nice to have for the evenings
The apartment is very bright, which is good in general, but a problem for sleeping longer. Also, some details could be further improved, like curtains that tend to suffer from humidity. The street leading to the apartment gets really difficult when it rains a lot. In a positive note, action was taken immediately to solve the issue
Fantastic location. Quiet. Private. Peaceful. Enrique was a great host.
Maybe a bit more attention to detail in terms of painting and maintenance.
Everything about it
This place was amazing I have no complaints
Perfect
Bugs
The road to get to the property is Horrible. The beach is Rocky. The apt is not so modern. Bats all over at night outside. If you want To be in Tulum I wouldn’t stay here.
the staff, cleanliness, and beautiful setting
the road to get to the property was very bad
We keep coming back because it is so peaceful. Amazing snorkeling right out front, no sargassum amazing sunset. It is hard to beat!
The road in was horrible this time it is a dirt road but this time because of the heavy rains it was really bad. If you didn’t have an SUV it would have been almost impossible to drive it
Extremely nice place to stay. I can highly recommend! A lot of space, private pool and beach. Amazing!
The receptionist, Enrique, was extremely rude. Never seen anything like that. It's a pity considering how beautiful the place is.
Nice
Great ocean view. Drinking water provided. Lots of information provided for services and activities. Great staff.
It gets very hot in the bathrooms.
Beautiful and well designed rooms and outside areas. Loved the fact you pretty much have the beach to ourselves. Our boys found some great seasshells just laying nearby.
Absolutely beautiful property. Modern amenities and super clean and well maintained. We loved it!
A Serene Paradise in Tulum From the moment I laid eyes on our accommodations at Tulsayab in Tulum, I knew I was in for a treat. The breathtaking ocean view greeted me like a painting come to life, immediately transporting me to a world of tranquility. The serenity was palpable, and it set the tone for what would be an unforgettable stay. Our penthouse was a masterpiece of contemporary design, with every detail carefully curated for comfort and style. The deck, complete with a dunk pool, provided the perfect spot to unwind and soak in the stunning surroundings. Inside, the plush bed promised restful nights, and the presence of two bathrooms was a welcome luxury. But what truly elevated our experience was the exceptional hospitality of our host, Enrique. From effortlessly carrying my heavy luggage up three flights of stairs to providing refreshing treats like fresh fruit, ice-cold waters, and a convenient 5-gallon water bottle with an automatic pump, his attention to detail and genuine warmth made us feel truly valued guests. The resort itself was a haven of relaxation, with pristine grounds, a inviting pool, and easy access to the picture-perfect beach. Kayaks, paddle boards, and water shoes were readily available, ensuring we could fully immerse ourselves in the crystal-clear waters of the bay. The colors of the ocean surpassed any postcard or website image, leaving us in awe of nature's beauty. What truly set this paradise apart was its serene ambiance. Unlike other destinations plagued by noise and crowds, the coast of Tulum exuded a sense of calm that was both rare and precious. There were no raucous parties or blaring music—just the gentle lull of the waves and the soothing rustle of palm trees in the breeze. Throughout our stay, Enrique was always on hand to assist with any need, his kindness and professionalism leaving a lasting impression. As we reluctantly bid farewell to this slice of paradise, one thing became abundantly clear: we will be back.
Stunning location and gorgeous space
Electricity issues but they were promptly addressed
location away from the really busy parts- quiet and comfortable
we like everything about it it is our third time back. Only feedback I would give is -the pots and pans to cook with are not very good and the futon couch in PH 2 is really uncomfortable to sit on and I can't imagine anyone sleeping on it. Also some type of umbrella or shade structure in PH 2 would be good too
Beautiful grounds. Well kept. Great staff
Broken chairs, chipped plates, old very used amenities Not “luxury” by any means.
Calm, relaxing spacious place, nice scenery and pool with view on the Caribbean sea. Close to Tulum.
Basic kitchen equipment and difficult access to the sea due to rocks
This is a peaceful oasis near busy Tulum. You probably want to have a rental car to get there and explore the area. The access road is not paved but was in good condition. The appartments and pool area are absolutely beautiful and practical. There is sand around the property but access to the sea is a bit rocky, no problem with watershoes though. There is a little soft Coral reef close by and snorkeling was good. The housekeeper Enrique and his family are lovely and provided great room service
The water in the shower didn't get very warm but not a big deal when it's warm outside. We had a couple power outages but thanks to the generator it only affects the AC which we barely used
Fabulous location with amazing patio views off the penthouse. Can watch both sunrise and sunset out windows.
Could improve privacy on patio. No screens on front doors...can get buggy.
Tulsayab is a beautiful, quiet, condo complex nestled between the calm turquoise waters of Tankah Bay and the jungle. The penthouse was very clean and had fully stocked kitchen, beach towels, and basics like water, coffee, tea, and olive oil. The views from the penthouse are epic and we spent morning drinking our coffee and evenings watching the sunset from up there. The pool area is lovely with lots of trees and wildlife. There are plenty of loungers and hammocks to relax in. The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful. The water is clam, shallow, and clear; it’s perfect for snorkeling, paddle boarding, and swimming. There is coral along the beach and in the water so water shoes are a must. With water shoes we walked for miles in both directions and found lots of fun places to swim. Tankah Bay has about four or five small restaurants (a bit expensive but good) and Casa Cenote with a resident crocodile to visit. I recommend renting a car for picking up groceries in Tulum, exploring the area, and driving to the restaurants at night. The road isn’t as bad as other reviews say it is and a regular car is all that is needed.
Wish we stayed longer.
Beautiful accommodation, staff were exceptionally helpful, there were even basic food items placed in our unit for us when we arrived. We had everything you can think of, from beach towels to cocktail glasses and various dinner plates. The beach area is cleaned and swept every day.
Nothing I didn’t like
The location was great and the apartment had everything we needed. It was even stocked with fruits, snacks, drinks as a gift for the holidays. There was also plenty of drinking water provided. The staff were great. The hotel is very close to Casa Cenote which was one of our favorites where you can dive through caves to the ocean and swim with a crocodile. It’s a beach hotel near Tulum but not crowded like the ones to the south. Driving there was never a problem and at night was peaceful.
The beach was good but naturally seems to have a rocky coast. So there was only one way into the water and even that was still rocky.
They were very accommodating and provided a ton of kids supplies which was sooooo convenient.
We absolutely loved our stay at Tulsayab! Everything was exceptionally perfect. Enrique was incredibly kind + attentive + promptly greeted us upon arrival. The property was breathtaking + extremely well kept. The beach is stunning + full of dried coral pieces + shells. Definitely recommend water shoes as it’s pretty rocky entering the water + in various parts within. We spotted many crabs, mollusks, small fish, sea urchin, + a small octopus! Kayaks + SUP for use at our leisure. The water was incredible - shallow enough to walk throughout the entire bay. Plenty of lounge chairs. We loved the variety of plant life on the property - perfect balance of sun + shade. The property is very secluded + away from the chaos of town which we loved. The dirt road is bumpy as some have mentioned but definitely doable in our small car. Other hotel restaurants are walking distance via the road or beach + they were all some of the best food we have ever had. Our favs were BSKY, TZ'ONOT, O'Tulum, Pandano, + Casa Altamar. I recommend the Super Aki vs Chedraui super market, as Super Aki is closer (15 min), much less chaotic despite the small parking lot, + much easier to find what you’re looking for + affordable prices. There’s also a small shop on the road near Casa Cenote that carries essentials like water, some groceries, medicine, + souvenirs. Another of our favorite parts was all the kitties that live on the road. We purchased food for them + gave them many meals and love during our week there + they stole our hearts! Apartment was well thought out, equipped + comfortable + stocked with everything needed + more. We cannot wait to return!
We didn’t get to use the snorkeling equipment as there was only one pair of goggles and it was not in good shape - very scratched and not clear to see well through. And all the mouthpieces were gross and dirty. It would be nice to see more updated and clean equipment on our next visit.
This is a wonderful place. Secluded from the noise of the street, beautifully built, a very large pool and easy access to the sea. Tulsum is closeby by car or Taxi. Great restaurants are within walkable distances. Overall, we were very happy.
Nothing to complain.
We loved everything! The photos do not do this property justice. We were immersed in a lush jungle setting along the beautiful bay. The room was superb. The pool and grounds well maintained. And the hosts were very accommodating. Don't get hung up on all the hype about the rough road - it wasn't that bad. Get some bikes delivered and take an adventure. It was magical for us and our guests.
Nothing that the hosts had any control over.
Very good accommodation located in a small development with just six apartments in front of the wonderful Tankah bay and 20 minutes by car from the center of Tulum. The Riviera Maya is a little crowded with tourists but here we found a calm place where we can relax. The pool is great and the resort offers kayaks for cruising in the bay. The private beach is relatively small and has some rocks to access the sea (water shoes are recommended), but other than that it is super pleasant, with sun loungers and hammocks. Access to the site is via dirt road and has security 24/7. The apartment is modern, spacious, clean and well equipped. Some insects may appear but there are no miracles, we have the beach in front and the jungle behind. It is advisable to leave windows closed and food in the refrigerator. Good WiFi network and good beds. The apartment is quite hot, but the air conditioning and fans work very well and quickly cool all the rooms. The staff, Henrique and Carmem, are very friendly and helpful. Great stay.
I would like to have a washing machine.
The condo was amazing. Very nice. The staff was great - Enrique was always helpful and looked after us well. The area is quiet and filled with natural beauty. My son and I enjoyed the kayaks and snorkelling the reef. Case Cenote is within walking distance and it is just remarkable. If you don't mind being away from the Tulum party scene, this is a great option.
My wife thought the mattress was too firm - honestly, I didn't mind it and slept like a baby.
Amazing turquise ocean view from your private pool in the middle of the jungle, priceless. We felt like in a hidden paradise. So peaceful, quiet and private. The apartment itself is big enough as well, we love spacious flats (not a 15 nm hotel room), we could imagine to even live here for a couple of months. If you want to feel yourself like people in a luxury travel magazine cover, this is definitely your place. much better than staying in Tulum, here were NO seaweed, compared to Tulums beaches where the smell was horrible.
The road from the motorway till the apartment is horrible, we were “praying” each time not to get a breakdown in the huuuuuge potholes. Also the dishes were not properly washed when we arrived.
Easy access to the water
The road to get to the property
nice view, interesting design, quiet, wild life
we used a rented car, so the following was not much a problem for us: - the road to the place from the main highway is long (10 km/h for 10-15 min), dirty, bumpy and unpaved; - food wise it is a little bit of a tourist trap - overpriced restaurants (typical for Tulum though) in the hotels nearby are quite far to walk over dirt road with trucks passing by, ~1 km, especially under hot sun in summer; the beach path to them is too stony and unmaintained, although possible to be used, but at night can be no-go;
