Beautiful property with an interesting layout. The rooms were very clean. A/C blows cold, my room had an exhaust fan too which was nice. The facilitators for the therapies were very experienced amd knowledgable. They were also incredibly sweet people who made you feel cpmfortable, safe, and like family. There is also an attached restaurant at the front, Birria, which has very good food at better prices than the other restaurants in the surrounding area.

I loved how attentive the staff was to all my guest and my needs. They went far and beyond offering their best services from services in the facility to what the area offered they would find tours to bike rentals to taxi services to the best beach clubs and best restaurants in the area. I can’t thank Hef and Yesenia enough for all the love I felt I highly recommend this place to all searching for a place to rest and find yourself.

Stayed two nights. Friendly staff. Unfortunately the a/c system blowing cold air has a mold issue. Woke up each morning with bad mold symptoms. The toilets were always dirty throughout the stay. Shower facilities need updating. It doesn’t get quiet until around 1-2 am, as it’s next to some live music each night. First night i arrived, my pillow case has a bit of blood on it, but got it changed fast. All in all it seemed like a nice stay, but it should be half the price as listed. Things are getting out of hand for how expensive tulum is in general for the quality it’s offering isn’t up the the price point.

Found this little gem last minute and it was way better than I anticipated. Very small/quant and extremely relaxing location. It's a relatively small property but they did a fantastic job with the shipping container conversion to the rooms, the outdoor gym, outdoor bathrooms + showers, pool in the middle of the property, etc.

This place is an A plus and a beautiful property. If staying here, keep in mind that the less expensive rooms don't have bathrooms within, so if you don't want to use the nice central shower area, book the mid-range rooms or more. I booked the economical Jaguar rooms and was completely happy. There is a rudimentary gym outside on the grounds, and coffee stand out by the street which is great.

The ambience of this property was wonderful! The friendly staff made it feel like home. There were unique wellness options and the cheapest tacos around! Juan Jose and Hector at the desk we're very accommodating the security and cleaning ladies were super friendly! My room was unique and perfect for me and my little dog. I loved the pool... There is a group kitchen which was wonderful the AC worked great close by to grocery gasoline a few bars and restaurants... Close enough to the beach to enjoy without the insanity of the traffic on the Beach road. I really loved the way everyone was friendly with my service dog- I think we both could have stayed forever!

This has to be the best value for the dollars spent that I’ve ever experienced on a hotel/ air bnb/ etc. From the friendly staff, to the welcoming kitty that “I think” lives there, to the feeling of being in the deep forest while only minutes from downtown- this place has it all. If you are looking for luxury, this probably isn’t it. If you are looking for an unforgettable experience at an incredible value- this is it. Beware that you are on a main strip with night clubs and bars, however, it isn’t too bad.

Give it a try!
This is by far one of my favorite stops on my Mexican trip so far. It's very quiet, chill and a great place to lay your head. Being afraid to stay here is the furtherest from my mind. They do offer natural alternative ceremonies and nobody has even mentioned it. There are flyers to read and educate yourself. The beds are comfy and the rooms are pretty good size. It's nice to have "my own" place. The kitchen is a bit rough but nothing you can't improvise with. If you've ever stayed in a hostel you'll understand. The bathrooms are open and when you shower, there is a huge door to close for privacy. It's right on the main road into the beach, so it's easy to access transportation to and from the beach.
