Family of 6 Tulum Vacation
We stayed at the Zorba Villa for 8 nights with our 4 young boys (8-14 years).
We met the concierge Chabely upon check in. The Villa is very nice and was clean upon our arrival. The air conditioning works well, all the showers were in good working condition. In our Villa the master bedroom is on the 3rd level with a separate outside staircase to reach it. Your shower for that room is 100% outside in a private balcony. Having the kids in one part of the house and the master separate gave us some anxiety but we survived.
The beach is beautiful and our boys who are good swimmers had no problems. They enjoyed the community pool and hammocks.
There is a "taco stand" which cooks breakfast and lunch and the food is very good. The only issue we had were the prices being high otherwise we would have eaten there every day.
We rented an SUV and it was a challenge to park but we made it work. I would suggest you rent, as we took a cab and were charged 520 pesos to travel 1km to the ice cream shop or $32 USD. Either we got taken or their prices are higher than NYC or Paris. It is a shame visitors leave Tulum feeling they were taken advantage of by the locals.
Plenty of restaurants to walk to but, look at the prices, pay attention to the exchange rate, watch the service fee. These are prices you would not expect in Mexico and we have never seen elsewhere in the country.
We will return again soon.
