Xaha Villas Suites & Golf Resort

Xaha Villas Suites & Golf Resort Overview

First Impressions

When you first pull up to Xaha Villas Suites & Golf Resort, you immediately understand why couples rate this place so highly. The property sits in this perfectly positioned spot between Tulum and Akumal — honestly, it’s one of those locations where you get the best of both worlds without the crowds that hit the main tourist strips. The resort has that four-star polish without feeling overly formal, and there’s something about the way it’s tucked into the Riviera Maya landscape that just feels right.

Location & Surroundings

The location is actually brilliant if you know this area at all. You’re close enough to Tulum’s beach clubs and cenotes that a day trip is no big deal, but far enough away that you’re not dealing with the constant buzz of backpackers and tour groups. Akumal’s turtle beaches are practically next door — I mean, you can easily walk there for some of the best snorkeling on this coast. The Bahia Principe area gives you that sense of being in a more exclusive pocket of the Riviera Maya, which explains why recent guests keep raving about the location in their reviews.

The Accommodations

The suites here are what really set Xaha Villas apart from your typical resort experience. These aren’t just hotel rooms with a kitchenette thrown in — they’re actual living spaces that make sense for couples who want to spread out a bit. The layouts feel thoughtful, with separate areas for lounging and sleeping, and you know what? The kitchens are actually functional if you want to grab some local ingredients from Tulum’s markets. The terraces and balconies take advantage of those tropical garden views, and there’s enough privacy that you really do feel like you’re in your own little villa.

Golf & Recreation

The golf course is honestly a nice surprise — it’s not championship-level or anything, but it’s well-maintained and offers a completely different perspective on the jungle landscape. Playing a round here in the early morning with the mist still hanging over the greens is pretty special. Beyond golf, the resort keeps things low-key but well-executed. The pool areas don’t feel overcrowded (probably because the property isn’t massive), and there’s easy access to both cenote adventures and beach days without having to plan everything through a tour operator.

Why Guests Love It

What keeps people coming back to Xaha Villas — and why that 9.1 rating makes complete sense — is how it strikes this balance between resort amenities and authentic Riviera Maya experiences. Couples especially seem to appreciate that they can have a romantic dinner on their terrace one night and explore Tulum’s food scene the next, all without feeling rushed or overscheduled. The staff understands the area well enough to point you toward the less touristy cenotes or the local beach spots where you won’t be fighting for space. It’s that sweet spot where you get four-star comfort but still feel connected to what makes this part of Mexico special.

  Best I could ever imagine…..

• Carrie from United States (10/10)

  The staff were all very friendly. Raul was very sweet and Leandro was very informative and helpful. The cleaning lady even found that I left my prescription glasses in the room when we checked out and immediately returned them to me. The staff gets an A++. The room was very clean, spacious, and beautiful. It was a very peaceful location.

• Humita from Netherlands (10/10)

  The Staff!

• Alpinate from France (8/10)

  The staff do their utmost to assist but the whole operation is a bit chaotic. One day breakfast is delivered on a golf cart (and arrives cold), the other day we are ferried away by the same golf cart to another property where we can have breakfast.

• Chanty from United States (10/10)

  Breakfast was made to order at your specified time. I loved the personal touch, and the chef was so nice and friendly.
  The butler service was wonderful. It was so nice to see everyone's smiling faces during the day. They were so welcoming, and always ready to assist with any request. I loved communicating via WhatsApp. We felt connected and taken care of at the property the entire time.
  There is free parking in front of the property and on the street, there is free bike rentals, and the food comes stocked with soda, water, beer and candies that you pay as you eat.
  They also have a full menu and you can go to the clubhouse and eat in the restaurant.

• Nick from Netherlands (9/10)

  Nice and luxurious place with good room service and reasonable prices.
