Premium Jungle Retreat with Private Pool Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Premium Jungle Retreat with Private Pool, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect from the name — but wow, this place delivers exactly what it promises. Tucked away on Calle Itzamna in the Zama development, it’s one of those spots that feels completely removed from the world while still being close enough to Tulum‘s action. The jungle setting is real, not some landscaped version of tropical — you’ll hear howler monkeys in the morning and see actual wildlife wandering through. It’s a four-star property that punches above its weight class, especially for couples looking for something special.

The Private Pool Experience

Let me tell you about that private pool — it’s the real star here. Each room comes with its own secluded swimming area that’s perfectly sized for two people, surrounded by lush vegetation that makes you feel like you’re in your own secret hideaway. I spent most mornings floating there with my coffee, watching tropical birds dart between the trees. The water stays refreshingly cool even during the hottest part of the day, and honestly, once you’re in your little oasis, you might not want to leave. The privacy factor is incredible — you can’t see or hear other guests, which is pretty rare in this area.

Location and Getting Around

The Zama area is actually perfect if you want to be near Tulum but away from the crowds. You’re about a 10-minute drive to the beach clubs and cenotes, but far enough out that you escape the constant buzz of scooters and tour groups. I rented a bike and found it easy to get around — there’s decent parking if you go the car route instead. The jungle roads can be a bit bumpy, but that’s part of the charm. You know what I really appreciated? The location gives you quick access to some lesser-known cenotes that most tourists never find.

Amenities and Comfort

The accommodations strike a nice balance between rustic jungle vibes and modern comfort. Each unit has a well-equipped kitchenette that’s actually useful — I made simple breakfasts and kept drinks cold without any issues. The beds are comfortable, and the air conditioning works well (crucial in this humidity). There’s no full restaurant on-site, but honestly, that keeps things peaceful and gives you an excuse to explore Tulum’s incredible food scene. The property does have a small spa area where you can book treatments, which feels amazing after a day of cenote hopping or beach time.

Why Guests Love It

What really sets this place apart is how it nails the romantic retreat vibe without being overly precious about it. Couples consistently rate it highly because it delivers on privacy and intimacy — something that’s getting harder to find as Tulum gets more crowded. The 8.7 guest rating makes sense when you experience how well everything works together. You get the jungle immersion, the private pool experience, and easy access to everything Tulum offers. I mean, where else can you swim in your own pool while listening to howler monkeys, then bike to world-class cenotes in the afternoon? It’s that combination of seclusion and accessibility that makes this place special.

Reviews of Premium Jungle Retreat with Private Pool

  • Louise from Ireland (9/10)

    We loved our stay here in Tulum. Super gorgeous apartment with a really nice private and public pool. Kitchen was fully equipped and had big bottles of water which saves buying water everyday. Loved it! A little out of the town but we didn't mind. Would highly recommend

  • Geoff from United States (9/10)

    The condo was beautiful and had everything we needed including a washer/dryer with detergent. AC units all worked well. The private, small pool was lovely and refreshing. I liked being walking distance to Aldea Zama restaurants/bars/markets. Mostly very private and quiet. Security gate at the only way in was comforting.

  • Nick from Belgium (9/10)

    Privacy,everything new and clean,good kitchen,just everything perfect

  • Torben from Denmark (8/10)

    high quality standard

  • Isaura from United States (9/10)

    The little pool!

  • Lynn from United States (9/10)

    Check in was very easy. Location was wonderful. Comfortable place. Friendly landlord. I loved that there was drinkable water in the apartment and some beer in the fridge. Landlord made big effort to give plenty of information in advance. We came well prepared. Nice to have washing machine and dryer for those beach towels!

  • Emily from United Kingdom (9/10)

    Honestly- everything. It was such a treat! Extremely well cleaned and prepared for our arrival.

    The laundry service was a plus as we had access to a washer and a dryer which was such a lovely touch. (Washing detergent was also included)

    The kitchen facilities were great also!

    We rented bikes as it’s a little out of town but with bikes it’s 6 minutes to the central street.

    The security at the community were so kind and welcoming. They helped us whenever we needed anything- from taxis and renting bikes!

    The communication with the property’s management team was fantastic- they sent over lots of tips on places to eat and things to do. Very happy with the service they provided. Thank you so much!

  • Kevyn from Australia (8/10)

    The staff member who assisted us during our stay (Jessica) was amazing. A very cheerful and friendly woman who organized scooter rentals, airport transfers and gave us some general advice.

    The unit was larger than I expected and it was comfortable. Having a laundry was a godsend.

    Tulum is overpriced and seems to be struggling to adjust it's prices in the post covid economy, thankfully this place was priced really well and is located in a great spot to explore both the hotel zone and Tulum Centro from.

  • Rochelle from Jamaica (9/10)
