Jungle-chic luxurious Tulum home, 5 mins to Xel-Ha

This home felt like a private getaway mansion tucked in the jungle of Mexico. The modern touches made it even more special—an iPad in the kitchen let us play music and change the light colors and the beautiful projector setup made family movie nights fun. The drive in can be a bit bumpy and confusing at first, but just follow the signs. Remember the landmarks to entrance : Yax- kin cenote post and “Roberto” the welcome mannequin on the side of highway. Enjoy the jungle experience.

A few things aren't going to be perfect in a community in the middle of the jungle. With that expectation this was more than what we thought it would be. Close to beach and not far from downtown Tulum. Very nice place.

The house was pretty and spacious. Overall, it could have used minor upkeep through the property. The exterior cushions had no padding anymore and the table outside was almost collapsed. Most concerning was the rope on the stairway was dislodged from the first tread, and where the second floating tred attached to the wall it was actually loose and swayed when you stepped on it. The kitchen was well stocked for what we needed and the beds were very comfy. The location between Tulum and Akumal was great. The drive back to the house off the highway took about 7-8 minutes because the road is unpaved. From the highway, it was another 5-8 minute drive to the beach. The smell at times coming from the bathrooms was stronger on some days than others. The downstairs bathrooms had to be kept closed so the smell wouldn’t seep to the rest of the house. Overall, it worked out well for us, but it would have been helpful to know a few more accurate details about the house and location. Miguel, the host, was very helpful and responsive.

My family and I stayed at this beautiful home for a week. So close to many cenotes and about 15 minutes to Tulúm. Hosts were excellent with suggestions on places to visit, dinner choices and local amenities. This home is in the jungle so be aware of the drive to and from. We rented a vehicle and don't recommend this home unless you do as well. Get full coverage as roads are very bad and tire issues will come up. We spent a day in Cozumel and we were disappointed with the condition of the island as it's really been commercialized and run down Overall wonderful trip and very different from our usual stays at resorts.
