The Yellow Nest

“Lovely Jungle Experience”

The Yellow Nest is a lovely Jungle escape. We generally stay in luxury 5* resorts as a family… however as there was just the 2 of us; we decided to try something new - we were not disappointed… STAFF: They are so attentive and nothing is too much. A huge thank you to Arturo, Jorge, Sebastian, Josi… more

The Yellow Nest is a lovely Jungle escape. We generally stay in luxury 5* resorts as a family… however as there was just the 2 of us; we decided to try something new - we were not disappointed… STAFF: They are so attentive and nothing is too much. A huge thank you to Arturo, Jorge, Sebastian, Josimar, Luis, Diego! The team and service adds so much to the stay. FOOD: We stayed on the half board - which was great. It included breakfast and dinner. The menu isn’t very wide in terms of options - but the quality of ingredients is high. I highly recommend the Tuna Sashimi, Salmon Sashimi and Fish Tacos! Delicious! We did do the floating breakfast, we was lovely experience, it was nice sitting in the pool and enjoying breakfast. My only niggle is that, a lot of people come here on day passes - which is not an issue at all; however it’s the type of people coming that are creating move of a “loud pool party” vibe around the main pool which spoils the tranquil calm vibe of the place. My suggestion would be to keep the music level to a certain volume and the music choice to be more chill vibe rather than hip hop! ROOM: we had one of the larger villas with a pool. We didn’t use this pool much - but had it been slightly warmer we would have. There are comments about leaves in the pools - remember you are in a jungle! Literally in it - leaves fall all the time!! Rooms are kept clean, it was super spacious with a comfortable bed! The hotel also provided us with mosquito cream in the room - which was appreciated as I forgot to pack some! LOCATION: The hotel itself is about 20 minutes from the main road. You have to drive down undeveloped roads - which for us was not an issue. We didn’t have a car - another couple staying did. The hotel staff will shuttle you to the main road; we picked up a collectivo which was very inexpensive to go to Tulum. Upon our return back, we would drop a text and be collected again. For us this was just all part of the advent and loved it. There is so much to explore is Dos Ojos, with over 100 cenotes; we did one - it was unbelievable - highly recommend and horse riding through the jungle on Christmas Day with CDN Tours - located within Dos Ojos - super reasonable and a great experience. GENERAL: The grounds are kept clean and tidy all day everyday, it is a very special place. Remember you are staying in the middle of a jungle… most of the staff live here; therefore be respectful of how you treat the space. There are only 20 rooms - we spent Christmas here and it was so quiet [we loved it]. I came to Tulum 10 years ago and it was very different! The town is so much busier and the beach zone has lost its natural chill vibe - it’s all about beach clubs. Although we love the beach, we are glad that we didn’t stay in the beach zone. That said, if we were to do it again, we would probably have booked half the stay at the Yellow Nest and the rest in Tulum Town. Uber is not used in Tulum - there is another app however we managed to get the details of a private driver who I highly recommend - message for his details.
