Maya Cabañas And Cenote Tulum

“Very nice cabins in the jungle”

This is a economy hotel, and it is all what you need. If you are in this area you will not need a fancy all-inclusive hotel with luxuries that won't be used as you will be outside enjoying.

This is a economy hotel, and it is all what you need. If you are in this area you will not need a fancy all-inclusive hotel with luxuries that won't be used as you will be outside enjoying. The rooms are basic but kept tidy, no AC or TV but no need for these things anyway. An hotel to experience the contact with the nature, you can see birds, racoons, squirrels as it is in the middle of the jungle and have its own access to a cenote. Across the street the beach is paradisiac, access is through another hotel and as are the last hotels in the area, the beach is all but crowded, lonely and beautiful to experience a good rest. If you want to experience an eco-touristic environment and disappear of the radar to get a good rest this is a hotel to consider. This is not the hotel for luxury travelers and for those looking other experiences is better to look somewhere else. Breakfast is very basic but again the kitchen is open to prepare what you want. Another type of tourism and you will find another type of tourists around.

“Basic Needs for a Low-key guest”

Usually, when I am travelling, I tend to book boutique hotels, or more well-maintained four-star hotels. However, this booking was made because I wanted a low-key more eco-resort type of stay.

Usually, when I am travelling, I tend to book boutique hotels, or more well-maintained four-star hotels. However, this booking was made because I wanted a low-key more eco-resort type of stay. If you are looking for a high-end, all-inclusive resort like stay, this is not the place to be. All the hotels along this strip are eco-based hotels, Nomande Tulum would be the luxe option along the strip, but this hotel, in particular, is quite a good option for those would like to have salt-showers, an open-kitchen for everyone to access (which means, if you rented a car, you can buy some food at the market and prepare it yourself in the evening), and also have access to the beach across the street at the Rosa de Viento Hotel. I chose this hotel, in particular, because it offered a Pet-Friendly stay for an additional 150 pesos a night. We stayed here for the week, with my 5 lb little puppy, and two other friends, and it provided all the basic needs we wanted. We even walked down the strip along the beach and spent the day at the beach at Nomade Tulum, and met some friendly guests there. Be warned, the breakfast at this hotel is really minimal, and only offers orange juice, cereal (chocolate pebbles and corn flakes), and coffee. If you would like something more substantial, Nomade Tulum offers a $20 USD all you can eat buffet that is pretty well-rounded. We also rented a car, so that we can get to the cenotes and scuba diving, but also to drive from Cancun airport, and the ruins. If you are not a great sleeper, I would bring a pair of earplugs, as the rooms are open-air and there is minimal to no insulation, and depending on which room you get, some of the rooms do not even have glass windows. Room 4 has glass windows, and Room 7 does not, but the air circulation is much better in Room 7. There are other options within the 8 options, but after we had a room change, Room 7 was much better. There is no Air Conditioning, and the electricity is low-key. If you are more high-maintenance this place is not for you.

we stayed just about a month ago, it was quiet an experience, a bit far and hard find, grounds in general are pretty nice and the rooms are fine, except when it rains, and sisnce it rained all night we experienced few problems, bathroom had leaks all over the ceiling which mean our bathroom was always wet.. not too big of a deal. But 4am we had to get out of the bed because we had water coming in from the ceiling, not the best way to wake up... i would have thought that for the amount of money we payed we would at least have room without leaks ... somewhat dissapointed
