We stayed at the casa for 5 nights in January 2018. It was a perfect contrast to our previous, relatively rugged travels in Panama. We wanted ample time to relax on the beach, with convenient access to the features of the area -- scuba diving, cenotes, Tulum, ruins -- and this bungalow delivered in spades.
Aaron and the staff on-hand are extremely considerate and worked diligently to ensure our needs were met. The room was spacious and fit well for me and my girlfriend. The view from the beach is incredible, delivering beautiful sunrises each morning, and the reef is healthy all around the area. If you are willing to swim out a bit -- the surf is generally mild -- you can see vibrant reef life without driving. Across the street, there is an open air cenote that attracts a consistent stream of daytime visitors, and there are probably 10 cenotes within a 10 mile radious. There's a scuba shop on premises -- Manati Divers -- that are equipped for scuba, snorkeling, or fishing, and a restaurant -- Casa Cenote -- with good seafood and dangerously strong drinks (the jefe, Oscar, was gracious and personally accommodating, which we thoroughly appreciated).
Though we spent much of our time at the property, we also spent a fair amount of time in Tulum and surrounding areas. We thought visiting the Tulum ruins at sunrise (before 8am) was pretty exceptional (though crowded during the main hours of the day). In addition to enjoying the local graiffiti and art in Tulum, we found some spots worth mentioning: Chamico's, a beach spot with excellent fish (ceviche and whole), great snorkeling on Soliman Bay, cheap massages; El Pez for brunch; and Arca for dinner.
Our stay was memorable and enjoyable, and we would certainly return. The value and experience here is worth it. I would, of course, recommend renting a car when staying here due to the convenience. Taxis are highly available, but the expense would be persistent throughout the stay.
