Reviews

• Alvaro from Portugal (10/10)

  the integration of the houses in the nature, the decoration of the common spaces and rooms, the privacy, the natural feeling, the green everywhere! It was great !

• Ivanna from Ukraine (10/10)

  Everything was amazing. It feels like the owners care about the details and making your stay as comfortable as possible. The territory was huge, there were multiple cenotes, underground river, a beautiful lagoon, 3 pools, and more. There's lots of things to do that are included in your stay, like kayaks/paddle boards, bike tours, underground river tour and daily yoga classes. The tour guide Gonzalo was amazing, he was very passionate about the tours, and went above and beyond in making sure everyone was comfortable and had a great time during the experiences. The food in the restaurant was really good, and the staff very nice and helpful. There's plenty to do on the premises, but the location is also close to many of Tulum's white sand beaches.

• Rose from United States (10/10)

  Everything! It’s a beautiful property with all of the amenities and a great chef. There is so much to see and do on site. Great for families/weddings/retreats. A special thank you to the staff who are wonderful & amazing. They carry the heart of the Yucatan and that is exactly what you get when you stay with them.

• Gustavo from United Kingdom (10/10)

  Absolutely everything. The staff is amazing, the premises are outstanding, the place is very quiet and we barely saw any other guest during a 3-night stay.
  Ps: the honey scented amenities were special.

• Zizzleblog from United Arab Emirates (9/10)

  The grounds were sooo beautiful 😍 I loved the tour guide, he was so enthusiastic and informative and also the spa therapist was wonderful.

• Marius from Romania (10/10)

  Everything met and exceeded our expectations. The staff is incredibly professional and nice. The food was INCREDIBLE, fresh ingredients and exquisite preparation.
  
  The resort premises are huge, in the middle of a secluded, quiet part of the near-beach jungle. We stayed in an individual lodge with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The rooms are designed and furnished in the traditional Mexican and Yucatan style.
  
  The resort is a piece of paradise: quiet, surrounded by trees and vegetation, there's a lagoon nearby ON THE PROPERTY. There's also a cenote right in the resort and it includes an underground cave which can be toured, one of the *many* activities the resort offers (for free).
  
  It really feels like the resort was built around the nature and the spirit of the Yucatan peninsula, as opposed to putting these elements around the resort.
  
  There are plenty of activities and things to explore just within the resort itself, with many swimming pools, bike tours and hidden gems on the premises (such as a traditional church, quiet gazebos, the cenote, library, a recreation of a Mayan village, etc.).
  
  The resort is approx 10 mins drive from Tulum, 8 mins drive from Xel-Ha water park. We'd recommend renting and coming by car for everyone who stays here to enjoy the surroundings as well (including places like Playa Paraiso).
  
  The staff was incredibly accommodating: we missed our connection and lost one night of vacation stuck in Atlanta and the resort management offered us an extra night *for free* to make up for this (although they didn't have to).
  
  We also met the owner of the resort along with the director and we could feel their passion for nature, for preserving and passing the spirit of the place onto the resort and its guests.
  
  Big thanks and kudos to Gonzo (leading cenote and cave tours and various other activities), Alejandro (our favorite restaurant staff), and all other staff who made our stay feel warm and welcome.

• Susan from United Kingdom (10/10)

  Breakfast was delicious and with great variety – the food overall was wonderful and the cocktails were delicious. We felt so looked after by the staff, who were all friendly and very responsive when we had queries. The setting is blissful – we felt quite secluded in the jungle and the facilities were top-notch. We loved the range of complimentary activities, particularly the cenote tour with Gonzalo, the on-site guide. He led us on an incredible tour of the underground river (cenote) right on the property. There are numerous different pools in lovely settings in addition to the gorgeous lagoon. The entire experience was wonderful, start to finish, and we will most definitely be back.

• Tommaso from Italy (10/10)

  Everything! The room, the hacienda, the staff, the food and drinks at the restaurant, and the additional services (yoga class in the morning)

• Maria from United Kingdom (10/10)

  Everything, it’s a truly exceptional place to stay, unique for the location

• Vladimir from Czech Republic (8/10)
