Our hosts were welcoming and very responsive. The property sits on a lovely area of beach just off the reef so perfect for snorkeling or diving. We loved our cooking class and of course all the food was wonderful. If you’re looking for a spot with easy access to the sights of Tulum, this is your spot.

Fabulous stay in August with my family, wife and two boys (18 and 16). Great accommodation, spacious everything you need. The team there are brilliant. The food is fantastic a real luxury to not have to trapse out or cook for yourself. It was sargassum season but the beach was cleaned daily. Still easy to take paddleboards out to the reef to snorkel. Lovely peaceful location right on the beach. Lots provided (snorkelling clear, kayaks and paddleboards). Book and enjoy a great break. Definitely use the catering option every meal was exceptional!

Best kept secret

This is my second time staying here and it is truly a magical place. There was 5 girls and we had plenty of room. The beds are very comfortable and love having the privacy of the 2 upstairs rooms. Our chef was amazing and cared for us the whole week. It feels like you have your own private beach. I can’t wait to go back!

The house is comfortable and beachy, location is central and convenient, but mainly we stay because we love Yobany, Edith, Luis and the rest of the people who work there.

About the host

Hosted by Frank Conati

Host profile image

We are two families that always dreamed of a beach home. We realized that dream more than 20 years ago, and have been serving clients ever since.

Why they chose this property

This property is a tastefully decorated beach house with beautiful palapa outdoor patios reminiscent of the days before the oversized and ecologically unsound hotels and commercial establishments arrived in Tankah.

What makes this property unique

This home is set up for adults and families so each group has their own ensuite bath and lounging areas providing a great blend of privacy and group spaces not found in other homes. Wonderful home-cooked meals that can be served inside or outside on our beautiful palapa patios.
