Great stay!!

Apartment was fantastic, super spacious, really nice area and the hose was absolutely amazing. Would highly recommend for price point. It’s not on the beach strip but in the actual town of Tulum. Great food and drink options around there.

Wonderful week in Tulum

The property is located in a funky, creative, newer part of Tulum. There were cafes, shops, and groceries close by. We rode rented bikes into the center of town each morning to attend Spanish school. The apartment was beautifully decorated and very comfortable. My kids enjoyed cooling off in the pool. Owners were very attentive and friendly.

An Oasis in Tulum

We really enjoyed our stay here. Our host Kristi was a gracious and communicative host. Our accommodations were as advertised and were plenty of room for both of us. We had a room in the far back of the property and felt like we had space to ourselves. Some highlights of the stay included the provided drinking water in tanks outside of our apartment, and the way in which our space had been set up, combining 2 spaces into 1. Plus they have cats! We had a problem with the plumbing while there, but it was taken care of promptly after we reported it. One suggestion for the rooms - thicker curtains may be necessary for added privacy.

I would skip this place.

We checked out two days early. Almost impossible to find. Outside kitchen was very marginal. Refrigerator high in the air with dangerous bottle guard on the door, resulting in a bottle smashing on the tile floor. We requested a refund but have not heard anything yet.

A perfect oasis

Both the owner and property manager were extremely accommodating and great to work with. They welcomed my wife and I on short notice, and with open arms. They made many accommodations for us, and we can’t thank them enough for helping our vacation end on a high note. The place is a perfect oasis. Easy to find. Green. Quiet. Away from the hustle, but close to the attractions. We felt safe. Lots of incredible dive gourmet eats blocks away. World class coffee and pizza close by. My wife was homesick because of her cat at home, so we loved the attention from the resident cat. Don’t worry he’s not too pushy if you’re not feline friendly. :)
