Booked a whole cabana that fit my group of 6 friends. Reservation was made months ago and worth it if you want a great view. The skewers were amazing and I could've ordered more if I had more time. Ceviche was good but was missing more lime in my opinion. Drinks felt a bit watered down, but I ordered more water than cocktails due to the insane hot weather and wanting to stay hydrated. Our party was for a bachelorette and it was all picture worthy. We didn't account for much time, but you can spend a whole day here lounging if that's more your style. I wish k stayed longer. Children and sellers come up to you selling bracelets and coconuts. I understand that they are also making a living. I appreciate that they are not aggressive sellers and will respect your wishes if you don't want to buy anything. They will respect your space. There are no changing rooms. The shower is open and outdoors. Make sure your swim suit is already on underneath.
Kanan is a go-to beach club. They feature talented DJs spinning that Tulum house music, and they offer excellent drinks. Fidel was an exceptional waiter; he was incredibly knowledgeable about their mezcals and expertly guided us on pairing them with citrus, salt, and other dishes. Def would come back.
Amazing service! Great ambience and view. $150 per person, if you select the Nest option. Worth it? Not sure. But we really had a great time and our server was very informative with the menu and also about Mexico culture. We ordered the Risotto Nero Di Sepia $420mex. For me the shrimp and clam on top was amazing but the rice didn't had much flavor. Beautiful presentation. We also had the Rib Eye $1,200mex and the cowboy $1,200mex which didn't impressed me. If I have the opportunity to come back, I probably ordered more sea food. That was great! Last, all drinks that we had 10/10. :)
A very unique experience in the heart of Tulum. We came for breakfast in one of the nests on Valentine's Day and the experience was so special! You get your own private nest and the perfect view of the sunrise over the beach. We came pretty early so we were the only ones up there for a while. I can't remember her servers name but she was so sweet and greeted us by our first name the entire meal. We had the avocado toast, enchiladas (green sauce was fire), green juice, and coffee. Everything was delicious and she let us enjoy the view for as long as we wanted after we finished. We loved the experience - a romantic and beautiful way to start the day
My sister visited Tulum in October and insisted I grab lunch here and boy was she right!!! Walking into Kanan felt like I stepped into the rainforest and I loved every second of it. Parking was across the street for 150 pesos but if you're a guest at Kanan, it's complimentary. The waitress received us with such a warm reception and sat us right on the beach. The view was amazing and I just took a moment to take it all in. I ordered the veggie burger and added avocado and a fried egg to mine, along with mozzarella cheese. For my drink, I got the BALAMA HA (I think) with rum and it was great. My burger was so delicious as were the fries. Between the four of us, our meals only came out to be about $37 each. I encourage everyone to stay at this hotel or at least grab a bite. The view is spectacular and the food is delicious.
5 stars for entry decor, 4 stars for the drinks, 2 stars for food, 3 stars for service, 0 stars for sewer smell when you enter. We slipped into Kanan for a quick drink and meal after arriving in Tulum. My husband ordered tacos and I ordered the salmon tartar. We both got beers and I got a mexcalrita. The good: the decor is so cool when you enter off the street! Loved the wood and vines. The restaurant had a great view of the water. Our drinks were good. Portions were decent sized. The bad: the food was terribly, terribly under seasoned. I had to ask for salt, which I never do. My husband loves tacos- truly any tacos, and the only reason he finished them was because he was starving. There's a sewer odor when you walk in that's slightly off putting. Not sure this is Kanans fault, but it definitely follows you as you walk through the entry area. Service was ok- had to call the water over for salt and the check, but he was kind. Maybe we ordered the wrong food, or maybe it was an off day, but we were not very impressed.
Such an artistic and creative space they have created in their rooftop dining area. But unfortunately the food is pretty bad. The menu sounds amazing, but the execution it's just not there. And a strong sewer smell wafted by the table occasionally - quite the turnoff! I would recommend checking this place out for just a drink and some photos. There is $100 per person minimum for the dining in a nest, but I believe you could do the rooftop bar area without the minimum and still get to check the place out. I would recommend going around 5 to 530 to enjoy the evening light.
The service !!!! I had the pleasure of dealing with Roger as our sever on a Monday early afternoon. Hostess were very welcoming and attentive to all my concerns and questions regarding my gluten and dairy allergy due to celiac disease. They did an amazing job working as a team to provide the best service possible and they delivered. Roger took the time to go over the menu and made me feel safe and welcomed. Their fryers are not infested with gluten , I even got to order French fries . Margaritas were perfect and the food bursting with fresh natural flavors. The views were amazing from up top high in our nest . Thank you and I highly recommend you guys .

Absolutely amazing! Amazing staff! Amazing service. Food was delicious! I can't say enough of this place. I normally don't like " boutique" type resorts but this one was on point! Highly recommend the suite with the ocean view. Worth every penny! They have "nest" type tables on top of the resort. You can order food from there, drinks, hookah. read more
Visiting this restaurant even once is definitely an unforgettable experience, because the place is built and designed in a very unique and beautiful way. It gives the impression that the entire restaurant is elevated among the trees. Up on the second floor, you'll find the main dining area, plus a bar, a DJ booth, and a space for dancing. If you go higher, there's a level with private little booths for dining, and it truly feels like you're sitting in a tree. I've visited this restaurant twice for dinner, and both times it was aesthetic heaven - the atmosphere was truly fantastic! Unfortunately, I can't say the same for the food quality. Most of the dishes my partner and I tried were just okay. Honestly, there wasn't a single dish I'd call delicious. The menu isn't very big, but it does have a few interesting options. On our last visit, we decided to share several appetizers: Naan Bread, Guacamole, Crab Croquette, Fish and Chips, Tuna Cakes. From all that, we only really liked and enjoyed the fish and chips and the crab croquette. The rest wasn't good - especially the naan bread, which was hard and flavorless. The tuna cakes were very dry and tasteless as well. From my first visit, I also remember the food tasting just okay. I did try the Grilled Octopus, which I liked, but definitely didn't love. To make matters worse, the prices on the menu are quite high. The food quality doesn't match the prices at all. Even the drinks, including soft drinks, are overpriced. For example, when I ordered a mocktail, they brought me a glass that was half-filled with ice; and the drink cost 300 Mexican pesos (U.S. $16). Crazy! Another negative point is the extremely loud music on the main second floor. It's impossible to have a conversation if you sit in the middle of that level. However, if you go to the separate area across the little bridge, the music is a bit quieter, but still louder than it should be for a relaxing dinner. The first time I visited, I got a table on the uppermost level, and the noise level was much better up there. I definitely preferred that upper area. On a positive note, I want to mention the sweet staff - the hostess and waiters were always extremely nice to me. But both times I visited, the waiters didn't check on us much during the meal. Also, if the restaurant is busy, food preparation can be very slow; we waited more than 40 minutes for our order. To sum up: I do recommend visiting this place, but more as a visual and artistic experience, not for the food. Go for the atmosphere, enjoy a drink and a tasty appetizer like the fish and chips or crab croquette, but plan to have your main meal elsewhere if you're looking for truly delicious food. read more
Amazing. The decor is so unique and beautiful. The breeze from the ocean and the sounds of the sax player had the whole party I was with in a mellow mood. The server Israel was very attentive and provided excellent service. I had the linguine with salmon and for dessert, creme brûlée. The linguine was a bit over cooked and needed pepper. The star of my meal was the creme brûlée. read more

Kanan was amazing! We usually do 3 nights in be Tulum and 3 nights in azulik. This time we decided to do the whole 6 nights at Kanan. Hotel was a vibe. It did have a lot of similarities to Azulik. Rooms need to be upgraded a little bit but overall it was a vibe. read more

I didn't stay at the hotel but did come for the beach club. I was recommended this spot by someone in Cancun and mentioned the vibes were immaculate. It didn't disappoint and food was delicious. read more

I really loved my experience staying here. It's absolutely beautiful aesthetically. You really feel like your in a jungle but with nice amenities so you're still comfortable. The restaurant food is great and they have a great cocktail menu. There is a rooftop bar that had a live saxophone player which was a nice touch. Couple things to know: It says ocean view rooms however they have huge trees that Will block the ocean view from our room no big deal still beautiful. The walls are thin so you could basically hear everything next to you and the rooms do not have TVs however it's kind of expected with the experience of staying here. Honestly highly recommend if you want that Tulum experience read more

I can't even begin describe how incredible our rooftop dinner at Kanan was. Our reservation was right at sunset, the view was amazing and they had a live jazz artist playing. Hipolito took us around the rooftop to capture the best sunset pictures and he and the team continued to provide the best service the entire time. I had the Ahi Tuna and still dream about it and the mashed potatoes. At the end, the manager Ricardo brought us a complementary Mezcal tasting and they performed a traditional ceremony. It was a truly magical experience and will be a treasured memory for us all. This place is a must visit!! read more

...Wow!! Kanan is breathtaking, both as a resort and as a restaurant. They opened up around March 2018, and are relatively new to the scene. The design of the space is gorgeous. There are a series of "nests" everywhere, with stunning ocean views throughout the place. Rooms range from 250 - 550 USD per night (the latter being for their presidential suite). They have 25 rooms available, but capacity for people socializing on site is 300+. This place does not allow children. I was told, on a related note, it is unofficially a swingers-friendly resort, complete with connected rooms. The restaurant serves very good food. I tried their "hangover cure", which I'm happy to report was delicious even if one does not have a hangover. The service exceptional. I was given a tour after breakfast, and got the chance to see the entire place. I love how many little private nooks there are. They offer yoga, massage, and other services designed to optimize your experience. The swim-up bar is a nice touch too. Or just stop by for a meal or a drink and enjoy the stunning views! I didn't stay here, but I would definitely consider it the next time I'm in town. read more

$$$ but worth it! Amazing service and staff were so kind and helpful. The resort is unique and beautiful! Rooms are spacious. Stairs everywhere, so not ideal for those with handicap/walking disabilities. If it were to rain, it would be a very wet hotel since it's open overhead. But still 100/10 would recommend. Don't want to spoil your experience by telling you everything!!! read more

Amazing service, food and presentation! Roger, Luis, Jonathan were ALL amazing. Kanan is magical and more than expected. While doing research for Tulum, we read a lot about the nest, sunset view dinners and compared to azulik, this was far more reasonable in price. The food, the drinks, the views were incredible--but what made it magical was the attentive service. We felt so taken care of. We were given a Mayan blessing and the staff provided such a thoughtful and memorable birthday tribute to my friend. Thank you again Roger, Luis, and Jonathan! We 100% recommend this place and will surely return! read more

A MUST when in Tulum! My friends and I got a little nest with a perfect beach view! Our waiter was Marcos and he was the absolute sweetest. Gave us a tour of the entire place. Will definitely be back! Also, the drinks are amazing. Try the Poxito (pronounced "Pochito"), made with Pox (Poch) which is their local alcohol. read more

This place is beautiful and they're following all the local laws to keep everyone safe! They're pet friendly which is great for our little pup. They staff suggested we walk through the hotel to catch sunset in their beautiful rooftop nests. We loved it so much we booked a stay on the beach side. Another bonus is they have underground hotel parking. Many places say they offer parking but actually do not on the beach. read more
