We went to Akna beach restaurant which is made inside the resort I believe and this place had amazing ocean views! Since it's a beach restaurant it's on sand and it's relaxing. The ambiance is stunning and relaxing - beach casual 10/10 We ordered fish ceviche and shrimp tacos with complimentary chips and salsa. Everything was refreshing and delicious! 10/10 The service was good but a bit slow and the bathrooms were clean there's a separate hand washing sink with a hand cream just outside the bathrooms. Very relaxing experience! There's parking inside too! read more

Maya Tulum Resort is truly a special place in so many ways, the Mayan culture is alive here and there is a level of warmth that is present that cannot be described. First off let's start with the Spa. Massage: I came to Maya Tulum to get an ancient Mayan healing massage.. This massage was done by Doris who was absolutely amazing. This massage was one of it's kind and involved a full body layering of mayan clay, and healing fruit extracts with a scalp massage and showering between each layering application.. I would highly recommend getting a massage here! The massages are restorative, highly relaxing, and enriching. Food: After getting a massage, my massage therapist showed me over to the restaurant/bar that overlooks the beach.. This place was picturesque and beyond dreamy!!! I looked out on the beach and was then greeted by a kind waitress. I ordered shrimp tacos and a lemonade. The lemonade was delicious and fresh, and the shrimp tacos were beyond delicious and addicting!!! The tacos had avocado, cilantro, and I added the red chili paste over them which gave them a nice spice kick!! Beach: The beach was beautiful, and private which I loved!!! This means that there are just enough people on the beach, but not too many. There are hammocks, and lounge chairs to choose from as well as cabana's. The sand is white and crisp, and the ocean water has many rich and deep shades of blue. I came back the next day and purchased a beach pass, and spent the entire afternoon relaxing on the beach and taking everything in. There is bar service on the beach as well. Maya Tulum is so worth checking out! read more

When my sister and I arrived here it felt like we arrived in paradise. It was the perfect place to unplug. We booked a sound bath which was lovely even though it started thirty minutes late. After sound bath we decided to get a 90 minute massage. One of the best massages I've ever had. Rosario from the spa is the only reason I'm giving this review two stars. We were ready for a nap after a morning of wellness and decided to go back to our villa. Our villa was located to bar that is currently under construction and all we could hear is hammering and drills... so much for our wellness morning. We also booked the tamascal ceremony who the wellness manager Eduardo informed us was $8k pesos if there wasn't 5 guest registered to attend, which we didn't mind because it was something we really wanted to experience. We sent a whats ap message to the front desk and confirmed the ceremony and they confirmed 4pm we have a text. We showed up at 4 and no one was there, so we went to the front desk. Eduardo insisted it was at 5 even after we showed him the text confirming 4pm. We told him we had other reservations at 630 and he explained it was a 2 hour experience. We had been informed it was one hour. My sister and I decided to change are reservations because we really wanted to do it. So I told him it was fine we could attend at 5. He asked if we'd be paying to together or separate I said separate, he then went to tell me it was $2100 pesos per person & I asked him if there was still 5 people attending and he said yes. I asked him why we were being charged $10,500 pesos as a group if he had said it was $8k if no one else signed up. He then went on to say that it was because someone from corporate would be attending and they don't pay. I told him I didn't understand why we would be responsible for paying for an employee and why that wouldn't be comped by the company. He began to get frustrated with me and told me that was the way it is. I told him that it was bad business and we would not be participating. After that the staff was very standoffish towards us and would not greet us like they previously would or assist us with taxi service. We also had an animal scratching the roof of our villa every night which wouldn't let us sleep, we made it work we understood we were in the jungle. Along with that there was constantly some sort of animal poop dropping from the roof. Overall I'm sure there is much better options in Tulúm. Great location and concept. Needs better management and restaurants. read more

Maya Tulum Resort - Poop on our bed. - Hotels Near Me - Tulum, ROO

I highly recommend staying here! The rooms are beautiful and almost all of them have a mini dipping pool. Despite the rain, we still enjoyed every moment of it. Service was on point and our turndown service was always done at the perfect time. I wish we had more of a chance to enjoy the amenities but it was still an amazing experience. Their restaurant had a few options for us to enjoy and the server was extremely hospitable. Bikes were available for rent at $20/day but they were cash only. Due to the rain, we opted to drive up the road to the main attractions in the zona hotelera. The property is a little further away from the main area but biking a mile or two down is no problem when you're just cruising. The room had an umbrella and two yoga mats, which were incredibly useful to us. The bed was huge and we were able to enjoy listening to the rain and ocean waves crashing in the middle of the night. They're still undergoing some renovations but we weren't affected by them at all. read more

I struggled to land on this rating. The staff are beyond accommodating with small acts of service, but the structural issues are so incredibly difficult to deal with as we go into our second night here that I really can't justify anything more than a two-star rating. I hope that this is a wake up call to the owners. The hotel recently underwent amazing renovations. On our first night here, it looked picturesque - the lights, the palms and ocean waves in the distance. Everything quickly turned sour when we were informed that the reservation that we had confirmed months ago was not honored and our double oceanfront room with a private plunge pool had been given to a large group that also had a reservation. This was very difficult to process because I had put such an emphasis on getting the perfect room and messaging the staff multiple times over the last few months just to have the reservation team ignore all of their promises that we'd have the specific room that we requested. The alternative single-bed rooms that they offered, the moment we arrived(which is when they informed us that our room was no longer available) were literally the last two rooms they had left. We were very hesitant to take them, but we did and were pleasantly surprised to find that they looked very modern as well. We had hoped that would have been the extent of our issues, but an hour after we checked in we learned that rolling blackouts in the rooms which shut off the running water and the electricity were frequent and could last anywhere from a few seconds to hours. We've experienced many of these blackouts and I am currently writing this review in the dark as the power has gone out again. I don't mind the dark, but the AC going out is unbearable in this heat and humidity. When the water is running, be prepared for the pungent smell of rotten eggs to come from the sink and shower. I have been asking what is causing the smell without any clear explanation or proposed solution which is really frustrating. After a long day of sweating in the Tulum climate, the last thing I want to do is rinse off with rotten egg water. I was very excited to have on-site dinner and take advantage of yoga in their studio today and was also angry to learn that because of the large party these amenities and others were not going to be made available to us even though they are a part of the selling point for the hotel to all guests. I may have been able to accept this if it weren't for the fact that they never warned us that this large party would be here and severely impacting our stay. I love the workers here, they are kind people who are sympathetic, but this place is not living up to the expectations...still in the dark Update: it's our last night and my AC stopped working. I communicated this to reception at 7 so they could come up with a solution before I came back from dinner. Nothing was done. They did not even send anybody to my room to check on it. Now it's midnight and I'm waiting in the lobby for them to call someone who can go fix it so I can sleep. This was a confusing night considering that the large group previously mentioned in the review was having some very weird dry-humping session in the large yoga studio which I had to see on my way back to the room from dinner. I also brought up this inappropriate situation to the reception and nothing was done. Not child friendly. read more

Maya Tulum Resort - Sitting in the dark - Hotels Near Me - Tulum, ROO

Confession: I, the renowned world traveler, thought Maya Tulum was a town in Mexico, not an adorable, relaxing, and immaculately maintained yoga and massage resort along the pristine beaches of Tulum, Mexico, about a 90 minute ride from Cancun. So, many of my friends and coworkers were confused when I told people I was going to "Maya Tulum" for vacation. Except the 15 or so repeat travelers from O2 Yoga, who embark on the studio's annual retreat to this tropical destination. Maya Tulum is one of the first small resorts you will come by after passing through "Little Tulum," a series of shops and cafes off a main highway in Mexico. The resort itself offers vacation packages that include meals and yoga, but I traveled as part of a planned retreat with my fare including a 7-night stay in a beachfront cabana, two daily yoga classes with instructors traveling with us, and 3 vegetarian/vegan buffet meals per day. Not included were the awesome fresh coconuts for purchase at the bar, alcohol, or fresh fruit and juice smoothies. (I partook of the first two, and they were wonderful.) Some cabanas sit right on the beach and others, called garden view, are slightly further back--i.e. a two minute walk to the ocean. There are two yoga halls and something like 7 massage therapists on staff. Signing up for a massage (my deep tissue was $110 US for 80 minutes) was simple and stress free. Every cabana and indoor area has a water basin out front to rinse the sand off your feet--so shoes are not required anywhere on the resort. This was the best part. Every meal had fresh fruit and a vegan hot soup. Excellent food cameos include the oatmeal with breakfast, french toast, and fried plantains. The margaritas are strong and sour, and beers cost something like $3. The staff is friendly and helpful, and all the guests are super blissed out and easy going. There is free WiFi in the dining hall and by the reception area. I balked at dropping nearly $3,000 for a week long vacation (this includes airfare, dog care, and other incidentals, not just the stay at Maya Tulum), but now know why every veteran of our yoga retreat says it's worth it. I hope to return! read more

Maya Tulum is a very special place. I came here five years ago, and just went back again. This is an eco-friendly Yoga Retreat with many additional options for meditation health cleansing. The resort itself is about an hour and a half Drive south of the Cancun Airport. You can easily arrange in advance for a taxi ride to and from the airport and when you arrived there will be someone holding a sign with your last name on it. Once you get to the resorts, they welcome you with fresh juice. The fresh juice here is phenomenal. Then they check you into your room which is like a small hat with a bathroom seats that you can relax in and beds with mosquito netting around them. There are fans but no air conditioning. For some this may be an issue. You can choose to either come with a group of individuals that are already going on a retreat or you can choose to come on your own and join some of the general yoga classes which they generally have around 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. daily. They range from Ashtanga to Hatha to restorative yoga. The mats are very clean the area is well-maintained and it is so impressive to hear some of the classes being taught in both English and Spanish. The food in the cafe on the premises is tasty and fresh. It mainly caters to individuals that are either vegetarian, vegan, for omnivores that eat gluten-free diets. Every morning to have fresh juice freshly brewed ginger tea coffee Panda Buffet with fruits eggs black beans pico de gallo and other such delicious fresh items. The staff there is also very kind and it is a huge plus that you can charge everything to your room so you don't need to have cash on hand. This is also one of the areas on premises that has internet access. However it is not always reliable but that is a good thing because I feel that coming to this place is so that you can get away from all of the day-to-day screen time that many of us experience. The premises are quite large and they have a Temescal also called a sweat lodge which you can participate in. They also have a labyrinth for meditative walking which overlooks the water and is so beautiful. Also scattered throughout the property are hammocks for relaxation and chairs that recline on the beach under fixed umbrellas. At night you can hear the waves as they crash while you drift to sleep. I would say one of the best parts of this Resort is getting one of the Mayan treatments for massages that they have to offer. Emilia is a truly gifted individual. She really knows how to identify which muscles are tight and where tension needs alleviation, she also uses many techniques including heat and cupping. Isabella is also very good with the neurosedative massage. Christina chair massage includes having Honey Massage into your skin and scalp feels so good and then you smell delicious afterwards. They also have guided tours several days of the week, we opted to do the Cenote tour which was amazing! I highly recommend coming to Maya Tulum if you're looking for a place to get away from the stressors of day today living and want to let go and restore repair and rejuvenate. read more

Needed a quick getaway and wanted to start the year off right. Maya Tulum was absolute PARADISE! Seriously heaven on earth. Wanted an authentic holistic Mexican feel. We stayed here for 4 days/ 3 nights and it was perfect. Rooms were shaped of huts and our beds had mosquito nets. Everyone was incredibly kind. This resort offered morning and afternoon yoga at $15, complimentary/healthy breakfast, holistic spa services, and most importantly right on the beach. Nothing better to falling asleep and waking up to ocean waves. The resort was clean with greenery everywhere. They offered breakfast (complimentary), lunch & dinner. Food was surprisingly delicious and extremely healthy. Walking distance to restaurants, bars, clubs and shopping. There were a few yoga retreats and safe for solo travelers. Will definitely return! read more

My friends and I came here for the spa experience, excited for the Mayan honey body treatments/massages. We each were lead to a room with our masseuse and had wonderful, relaxing experiences. Everything smelled and felt incredible. What was lacking was the rest of the resort feel. During our massages, I was looking forward to hearing the soothing sound of crashing waves; instead I heard the sound of the cars on the nearby road. After our massages, my friend and I expected to sit on the beach with a drink, while we waited for our other friend who had also gotten a facial (she spoke highly of this, saying her specialist would seamlessly transfer between the massage and facial throughout the full allotted time-frames). So when my friend and I went to go get our drink from the bar, everything was empty. I'm not sure if it's because of the time of year we went (early July) or that it was a Tuesday afternoon, but the place was a ghost town. An employee jumped behind the bar and tried to take our orders. But they were out of most fruits that were offered in the smoothies, daiquiris, and margaritas including strawberries, bananas, and pineapple. Credit/debit accepted. read more

Heaven on earth! My girlfriend and I stayed here for 7 nights as part of a yoga retreat group in August. Let me tell you, now it's December and there hasn't been a single day since I returned from Tulum where I did not think about the time I spent at this resort!! It was that magical (trust me, I don't throw that term around that easily). First, let's talk about the logistics. We flew into Cancun airport, rented a car and drove about 90 minutes down to the resort. Pretty easy drive, although some drivers really do drive like a nut job. Parking at the resort is easy. It is free and secure. Upon arrival, we were greeted by really friendly guys at the front desk. We were offered a glass of juice and cold towel to refresh ourselves. Nice touch. Our Room: We booked a garden view room and got Cabana #33. The room was huge! All 4 sides of this cabana had large windows to open up, so we had really good cross ventilation going on (trust me, it was a life saver). On the resort's website, they tell you the rooms don't have wifi, but because #33 is right next to the reception area, we got good wifi signal in our room. And the cabana came with an outdoor shower. Seriously, does it get any better? Also, because this resort is practically built on the beach, their "garden view" really isn't that far from the ocean. Ocean front is like 3 steps away from the water and Garden view is maybe 30 steps? Excellent deal overall. Restaurant: Oh my god, the restaurant is set on a perfect location, literally on the beach. We enjoyed drinking margaritas and eating dinner outside almost every night (I say almost, because there were a couple of rainy, well more like stormy nights). Also enjoyed watching sunrise with coffee in the morning. Everyone who works there is super nice and friendly. We loved the bartender Jaime! He always filled our water bottles with ice cubes (did I mention it's really hot there? lol). Really, everyone was great but our favorite servers were Enrique and Mauro. I also saw the chef walking around, checking on buffet table every night, to make sure everyone was enjoying the food. Food: To be honest, I wasn't too excited about the all-inclusive concept, because I feel like usually quality is lacking in this type of deal. But I was SO wrong! The food here was to die for. All the vegetables and fruits were so fresh!! Every single meal was sooooo good and memorable. I especially enjoyed homemade pan dulce in the morning and all the fish dishes they cooked for dinner. For quite a while after I got back from Tulum, I was craving food from this restaurant.. well, actually I still do... :D Yoga: I cannot comment on the public yoga classes they offer, because I was with a yoga retreat group, so I practiced only with my teacher. But I will comment on the yoga facility. The space is beautiful with super high ceiling and lots of windows (you can see the beach from a couple of them). They have tons of equipment - manduka mats, blocks, straps, blankets, hand towels. Tip: if you want a yoga mat towel like "yogitoes," you need to bring it. Spa: Holy moly! I got a Holistic Massage with Emilia and it was easily one of the Best massages I've ever had!! I highly recommend Emilia. Beach: Ok.. this is the only negative here (everything except the beach condition is 5 stars).. When we were there in August, the beach was full of seaweed. The resort really tried to clean it every morning. But we can't win against nature. When the ocean brings so much seaweed to the shore, there is only so much mankind can do.. People told me that the situation has been getting worse... *sigh* BUT! I got some good news. If you see lots of seaweed in front of maya tulum resort, do not waste time on this beach. Drive or Get a cab and go to "Playa Paraiso" - it's a public access beach (you do not need to pay for chair/table) and it is absolutely gorgeous. No seaweed. Housekeeping: They kept our room meticulously clean everyday. They also do an excellent job maintaining the entire resort ground. Airconditioning: Our room had no A/C, so we basically sweated our butts off everyday. But you will get used to it after a couple of days. They say the restaurant is air-conditioned but I highly doubt that! It was pretty hot in the restaurant. If you absolutely need A/C, reserve an Ocean front villa with A/C - there are only 4 of them, so book early. My 2 cents on tipping: We were told that our retreat price included $10/day gratuity, so anything beyond that was optional. We felt like a lot of people went above and beyond expectation to make sure our stay was wonderful, so we tipped pretty well at the restaurant and housekeeping staff. And I'd say we got excellent service in return. This is a truly magical place with genuinely nice people. I did not want to leave! read more

I slightly recommend Maya Tulum (because of the caring staff). New MGMT andnew Chef for the main restaurant.... My trip was ruined by guests staying next to us (they rented out more suites than us, and made us move after called homophobic slurs....). The staff was amazing, Tulum is no longer Tulum..... b read more

Wonderful experience all around. Staff was like family to us: Cecilia, Bea, Dan, Alfredo and others were marvelous and had plenty of local recommendations for restaurants and things to do. Comfortable beds, good AC and no problems with hot water as some other reviews mentioned. Also enjoyed the large water cooler in the lobby for refills anytime, instead of going through multiple water bottles and plastic. Nice eco-touch. Relaxing hammocks all around the property, delightful beach and many restaurants and shops nearby either for walking, biking or short cab rides. Never tired of Ziggy's Beach restaurant and ordered something different every day. Only complaint was the wifi, non-existent in rooms (which I can understand and even appreciate on a trip like this) but still pretty weak in lobby. At least Ziggy's next door had strong wifi. I'd like to see Cabanas get a larger wireless router, which the management said was coming. They don't flush toilet paper here, but that may be common in this area. read more

We didn't stay at this resort, we came here for the famous Temezcal Ceremony. Our first impression of the resort was positive. It's a very charming atmosphere and we loved the beautiful beachfront location. The whole place projects a sense of balance, healing and peace. The Temezcal Ceremony was a very memorable and a deeply spiritual experience. We definitely recommend Maya Tulum for anyone wanting to explore the ancient practice of the sweat lodge for rebirth and regeneration. read more

Food here is amazingly fresh being an all inclusive resort. Beach is amazing but sometimes has debris from sea weed that can be a eye sore. I loved it here but unfortunately I didn't feel safe on my last night. A "security guard" awoke my girlfriend and I with a flashlight in our window at 3 am. Being that the huts are on the sand it's pretty unsafe If you are single girls with minimal security. I quickly turned on lights and screamed at him and he went running . The front desk staff explained to me that it was security making sure we were safe. I'll never go with another female again. read more

Did not stay here but dropped in for a yoga class. The class was very good and my favorite part is I was able to use the beach afterwards! They have beach chairs and shady areas at your disposal. There are also some great semi-shaded hammocks that were a pleasure to lay on and sway lazily in the breeze. The water was chock full of seaweed but we had a lot of rain the night before. great place to take a yoga class and relax on the beach afterwards. read more

This is my first time staying in Tulum, although I have visited the area on two separate day trips. I chose Maya Tulum because I was bringing my 17 year old daughter, and wanted the ease of all inclusive food, spa on location, onsite yoga, and proximity to the beach, and airport shuttle service. I was a little concerned after reading some of the reviews on Yelp, but decided to give it a try regardless, and am so pleased I did! The resort surpassed my expectations! The staff was helpful and courteous, without being intrusive. They answered every question I had for them, and supplied me with everything I requested. The instructions emailed prior to my arrival provided me with all the information I needed for a stress free stay. Yes, bring your own beach towels, not a huge problem. Once you arrive, other than my daily walks, shoes are not necessary. Bug spray, yup...it is the jungle. Tipping? Suggested tip $10 a day per person, to be provided upon check out, bargain! Plenty of spa appointments, I had 3 services and all were wonderful. Sergio was great for deep tissue. Our room was ocean view, but really it felt like ocean front. The room was clean and sparse, just perfect for the two of us. I am giving Maya Tulum 5 stars for the value of their 5 night package. There are most likely more luxurious resorts in the area, but I'm not sure why I would spend more when this gem is in the mix. Gracias Maya Tulum, I will return. read more

As far as Tulum resorts go, no bueno. The huts are nice, and the proximity to the beach is good, and the yoga classes fine (I haven't tried the spa). But the service quality is poor. The restaurant is pretty middling, compared to much of Tulum. They ask that you bring your own beach towels -- though have some for purchase for $55 (no joke) in the store, which is stocked full of tacky and overpriced yoga garments, but doesn't have cold water or aspirin. And if you ask the staff for pretty simple advice -- where to snorkel? How to get to the airport? Where to rent a bike? -- the first response is guaranteed to be the most expensive, including packages and guides, and unnecessary. The upsell is pretty relentless here. Possibly most unforgivable at this point: terrible, unreliable wifi. I booked here because I needed to get away at the last minute, and couldn't get into my old standbys, villa las Estrellas or coqui coqui. Hard lesson learned. Also, side note: the kelp problem is becoming epic. Are the pristine Tulum beaches gone for good? Only thing to blame that on is climate change (and our own filthy oil habit). read more

I love surprises. When you least expect it all the rules of resort dining are broken. We came to Maya Tulum for a chill week of relaxation, Yoga and a chance to unwind. What we did not expect was some of the best meals we could have possibly imagined. Typically the last place we want to eat and drink is at the hotel or resort we are staying. Usually we avoid resorts altogether and opt for smaller places with a more intimate atmosphere and then venture out into the local scene and cherry pick based on recommendations and intuition. The first thing that got my attention was the night we arrived. Usually we always blow that off and suck it up as it's a last ditch effort for something tolerable at a fair price. We arrived at around 7:30pm to get a drink and a bite and then turn in. What we encountered was an amazing display of flavor and presentation as we feasted on Shrimp Ceviche Tostadas and a Salad of Arugula, Cucumber, Pine Nuts, Tomatoes and an earthy vinaigrette. Absolutely perfect paired with a simple Margarita and a glass of Cabernet. It just kept getting better. Breakfast was included so why not try the buffet? I can't emphasize fresh when I think about the food here. All the fruit you could desire. Scrambled eggs, black beans and chilequilles. Banana pancakes, great coffee, teas or juice. Perfect. The yoga instructors are top notch and with two classes a day there is something for everybody. A truly natural, elegant way to experience the Maya Rivera with just the right amount of luxury. Definitely coming back next year. A gem on the Yucatán read more

I have stayed at Maya Tulum 4 times in the past 4 years, a week for each stay. I attend specific teacher retreats.Each year the seaweed or "red tide" has gotten worse. Last year from our ocean front cabana there was a continuous stream of a bulldozer moving the raked up rotting piles and depositing them off the beach just beyond the resort. We were not able to enjoy our cabana during the day and needed to escape the steady flow of diesel fumes, we dealt with it. In 2016 we returned to the same cabana #1. The tide was back and it was BIG. This time he staff was slow to deal with it. When they did, they created rows of large raked piles of dead seaweed and left them to rot. Another 24 hours later they combined the large rotting piles and made one enormous mountain of putrefying fetid death right in front of the ocean front cabanas and the large yoga room. The stench was unbearable...you really cannot imagine how uncomfortable and horrible it was. At night buckets of copal incense were burned...combining the strong smoke fumes with the putrefied seaweed stench. We are still traumatized. I walked into a yoga class last week where copal was burning and it make me so sick that I had to leave. We understand that the seaweed is an uncontrollable occurrence of nature, but Maya Tulum Resort does have control over how they deal with it and how they treat their guests. I thought hard before committing to writing this review. It is a beautiful place and the staff and spa workers are mostly the same wonderful people that I look forward to seeing each year, it is not their fault. Something very unhealthy and disturbing has happened to the management. The new "handsome" male manager was clearly more interested in flirting with the guests than guest services and care. Any hotel or resort in the world would have done or offered some type of apology and or compensation. The management was unable to effectively deal with the common red tide occurrence and made staying there a nightmare. This does not demonstrates how to be of service and how to honor the Mayan culture and Mayan healing that is offered . This was far from a healing experience. read more
