Hvorfor folk elsker det

8.3⭐491 anmeldelser
  • Located inside the protected Jaguar National Park (quiet, dark skies)
  • World-class beachfront yoga shala with daily classes
  • Community vibe with ecstatic dance, ceremonies, and a 'tribe' feel

Hurtig oversigt: It’s a glorified, beautiful campground with hotel prices, bugs, and magic—in that order.

Anmeldt af @laurenrudick: I stayed in one of the luxury treehouses and it was honestly a dream. Waking up to jungle sounds, dipping in my private plunge pool, and walking straight to that beach yoga shala made me feel so grounded. It’s the perfect mix of nature and comfort.

The hype

Guests are obsessed with the yoga and the 'jungle sanctuary' vibe but divided on the value-for-money regarding the rustic rooms.

Reality check

The 'eco-chic' lack of solid walls means you hear your neighbors breathing, the generator humming, and the jungle waking up at 5 AM.

  • You own a yoga mat and use it daily
  • You prefer ocean breezes to aggressive air conditioning
  • You want to be walking distance to the Tulum Ruins

Renhed & Vedligeholdelse

8.5
  • Housekeeping: Daily service is thorough, but fighting sand and jungle debris is a losing battle.
  • Bathroom hygiene: Generally clean, but outdoor elements (leaves, bugs) can blow in.
  • Maintenance: Rustic chic means some wear and tear; zippers on tents can be finicky.
  • Linens & towels: Fresh and good quality, though they can feel damp due to humidity.
  • Odors & scents: Fresh jungle air mixed with occasional diesel whiffs from the generator.

Før du booker

Godt at vide

  • You must enter via the 'North Entrance' (Cobá Ave) of the Jaguar National Park.
  • Show your hotel reservation at the park gate to avoid paying the full tourist day-pass fee (you pay the guest rate).
  • Wifi is fiber-optic and surprisingly good for the jungle, but can drop during storms.

Hvad skal du pakke

  • Biodegradable bug spray (absolute necessity)
  • Headlamp or flashlight (paths are dimly lit to protect turtles/wildlife)
  • Earplugs (for the generator or jungle sounds)

Værelses-genie

Bedste valg

  • Tree House Suite (elevated, better breeze, ocean views)
  • Plunge Pool Mayan Suite (more privacy, luxury feel)

Værelser at undgå

  • Bungalow C24 (specifically flagged for generator noise/fumes)
  • Ground-level tents near the common path (less privacy)

“I am looking for a quiet room away from the generator and main footpath. If available, I would prefer a Tree House or an upper-level unit for better airflow.”

Ofte stillede spørgsmål og skjulte tips

Alt hvad du gerne vil vide før du booker.

Is there AC in the rooms?

Yes, most bungalows have AC, but it struggles against the heat in the unsealed, tent-like structures. Don't expect 'fridge cold'.

How much is the park entrance fee?

Complex. Expect ~58 MXN (CONANP) + ~180-295 MXN (Jaguar Park) per person. Guests usually pay a daily rate plus a bracelet fee. Budget ~$15-20 USD per person/day to be safe.

Can I bring my dog?

No. The National Park has a zero-tolerance policy for pets to protect local fauna (jaguars, turtles).

Is breakfast included?

Usually no. It is à la carte at Maia Restaurant unless you booked a specific package.

How far is the beach?

You are ON the beach. The hotel is beachfront with its own beach club.

Is it safe at night?

Yes, the National Park is guarded and gated, making it safer than the public road, but it is very dark.

Insidertips

  • ✨

    If arriving after 5 PM, you must have your reservation handy or the park rangers might not let you in.

  • ✨

    Walk north along the beach for 15 minutes to reach the Tulum Ruins entrance from the shore (saves time/hassle).

  • ✨

    The 'community' WhatsApp group often announces impromptu ecstatic dance or ice bath sessions not listed on the main schedule.

5 ting du bør vide før du tager af sted

  • 💡The bathroom situation in some bungalows is 'semi-outdoor', meaning you might shower with a gecko audience.

  • 💡You can't bring single-use plastics (water bottles) into the National Park; they will confiscate them at the gate.

  • 💡The 'pool' is lovely but small; the real draw is the ocean.

  • 💡Getting a taxi *into* the park at night can be tricky; arrange transport with the front desk.

  • 💡The humidity inside the tents can make clothes feel permanently damp.
