Sixteen of us stayed at the property and had a wonderful time. The space was comfortable, the decor was and we enjoyed that the kids could snorkel from the house, and just the proximity to the beach can't be beat. We had some problems with the Chef service so I would caution you not to use Chef Carlos' services.
Awesome!!!! We had a blast!, caretakers are very helpful!!!

Very spacious and accommodating
The house was very spacious and clean.Pro:SpaceWell furnishedOn site handymanBeach luxuryCons: Only bedrooms have a/cLiving areas are outside air only1st day only 5/6 bedrooms had AC(fixed 2nd day)1st day no hot water (fixed 2nd day)We really felt they were not prepared for our arrival. 6 bedroom house that was full of guests should have been better serviced for the guest arrivals. Things happen but just not a good first impression.. we had to clean the beach area when it could have easily been done prior to our arrival and maintained. Only when they saw guests cleaning they decided to take action. Yes the seaweed was bad and unpredictable, but the house next to us prepared for guest as we watched..1st impressions are mandatory at that price point.
Had an amazing birthday weekend with multiple families and ages, and everything was absolutely fantastic. House was spacious and comfortable. Location 15 minutes north of Tulum is perfect, and Solimon Bay is picturesque. The chefs are an absolute must and made meal planning incredibly easy and everything they prepared was incredible. Great stay all around.
I selected this location for a girl's (7 of us!) getaway long weekend and we could not have been happier with our experience! The property itself is gorgeous and very spacious (with a good lay out). Beds were very comfortable. We opted for the chef service (DO IT!! You won't regret it.). The beach is sandy and great for swimming. Overall 10/10!
The house is located in a great location with direct access to the beach.But for the price charged the bedding and Kitchen cleanliness left a fair amount to be desired. The road to this house is full of potholes. We lost all water on all Christmas Day ! The onsite manager was helpful and his wife took great care of us.
Me and my friends thought this listing was too good to be true but it turned out to be somehow even better. Great team all around. Can’t wait to stay again.
The villa is roomy and had a lots of space for 16 of us. The location is unbeatable, right on the sandy beach with the palm trees surrounding the property. The kayaks were great, our group enjoyed using them. The ocean is just gorgeous, with no waves. There was some seagrass by the shore and on the beach, but it was tolerable, and it was promptly removed from the beach by the stuff.
The chief's services were great as well. We were provided with tasty Mexican food, and it was fantastic.
We had an amazing extended family celebration at this beautiful property. The beach and water at Soliman Bay is perfect. Warm water, sandy beach, and coconut milk right from the trees on property! The pool was perfect for a volleyball match. Kayaks and snorkeling only steps from the house. Cocktails while sitting on swings at the bar of the walking distance boutique hotel. The chefs served wonderful local food and trips to town to buy supplies brought us to locals only butcher and fishmonger. Nearby excursions to the cliff jumps at cenotes, the Tulum and Coba ruins (where you can still climb the pyramid!) and Sian Kaan, the Unesco heritage site were amazing. The house was perfect for our large group and we can't wait to go back.
Large family of 11 adults and 3 kids
Pros: great views, multiple large common areas, cleaned daily except for sundays.
Cons: no furniture on the 3rd floor terrace.
The two 2nd floor master rooms do not have doors for the bathroom/toilet. (Found this to be awkward and uncomfortable)
Important notes:
no air conditioner on 1st floor common areas. (Know before we booked)
Daily chef service a great add on to elevate the stay.
Would stay again.

Yikes! Do not recommend.
I don’t even know where To begin. The family before us their review was pretty spot on! It’s unfortunate that we didn’t see it until our 3rd night there.
The owner was defensive when I brought up the issues which only made it worse. When I spoke to her on the phone a couple days prior to our arrival there was no mention about how terrible the seaweed was. In fact her words included a promise of a white sandy beach and clear blue water. No where did she say the smell of dead seaweed from the front AND back of the house was so so bad that it legitimately will wake you up at 3am on the dot every morning. She also states in her listing that there is AC ( I made sure to SS it before she changed it) in the house. Well that’s not entirely true. Only the bedrooms will have AC with the exception of the 2nd master room ..... the AC was not functioning. The lack of AC wouldn’t have been an issue if we could move passed the smell of what I would imagine dead corpses in order to keep the windows open.
Also , the house isn’t quite the same as pictured. The pool isn’t even the same! If you’re going expecting a relaxing time under the palapas ... well you’ll have to go to the neighbor and make friends and maybe they will allow you to use theirs... since that’s what is pictured in the listing.
The seaweed I understand is not in her control. But the rotting seaweed is. And I feel it’s something she should have mentioned when we spoke on the phone. This trip turned out to be a big disappointment and not at all what was sold to us
We had a short but very wonderful vacation with our friends and families. We loved everything about this vacation. Absolutely amazing location, property , management and host. Would definitely come back next year. Thank you Nancy, Fernando, Gloria, Antonio and Carlos for making our stay unforgettable!!!
Fantastic property for a family. Hire the cooks and you will not be disappointed. Carlos and Antonio were fantastic!! We will certainly be coming again. We booked the villa as a Christmas gift to our four children and their families and they loved every part of it. Thank you Nancy for such a beautiful home!
We loved the house. We experienced all the positives noted in many reviews here and none of the negatives. Best snorkeling experience we've ever had and the home's furnishings are better than the photos on the listing.
We are most definitely coming back. The property is beautiful and I highly recommend you get the chef service and request Carlos and Antonio. They made our 1 week stay even more special, cooked us 3 INCREDIBLE meals per day and were so lovely.
The on-property manager Fernando cleaned the beach and the pool every day and there was NO seaweed as there seems to have been previously per other reviews.
All AC’s worked in the bedroom as well and we had lovely cleaning staff cleaning the entire house every day.
The only constructive criticism I have is:
- post better pictures. The ones on Vrbo don’t do Casa Mar Caribe justice.
- update appliances in the house. The house is beautiful but some things are older. For example, it rained a couple of days during our stay and there was a leak through the light in one of the closets. Fernando tended to it right away.
Communication with Nancy, the owner was also smooth.
We will 100% be back to Casa Mar Caribe!
Our Thanksgiving week at Casa MarCaribe was a 3-generation family trip of ten, ages 2-74. (Should have been 14 of us; sadly four could not join us due to last minute Covid.) The dirt road in is a potholed mess, but the house makes up for it! It's spotless and roomy; the bedrooms are comfortable and cool with room AC. We lucked out with gorgeous weather to enjoy the pool, kayaking and a calm ocean just steps from the house-- just the ticket for young children. We visited Coba and Tulum Mayan Ruins, Dos Ojos cenote. While enjoying some great lunches and dinners out, we also found that Tulum's Chedraui grocery store provided all the food/beverages we needed for delicious Mexican home cooking. Kitchen wasn't as equipped as we'd have liked -- and there was no microwave as advertised. But everything else-- perfecto! Candy and Fernando were always helpful, and set up at-home Covid testing for us. Highly recommended!
I’m not quite sure how to review this home. The pictures definitely paint it in a very good light. There are parts of the home that are nice, like the pool and the living area/ eating areas that looks out on the pool. We went with another family and it was nice to have two sides of the house that were identical so we all had our space. However there is so much that was in disrepair and things that really made our stay difficult. For starters, only the bedrooms are air conditioned and the air conditioner in one of the master’s was broken upon arrival. It was nearly 100 degrees and 95% humidity while we were there. If you were anywhere outside the bedrooms in the home it was absolutely miserable, even with the “sea breeze” coming in from the windows. Also, I know the owners cannot control the seaweed, but just as a warning, the seaweed was not just annoying because you can’t swim in the ocean, but the smell is rancid and completely overwhelming. They have people attempting to shovel it up, though it doesn’t even make a dent in the amount of seaweed, and they just end up taking it to a giant pile in front of the house. So there are piles of seaweed in front of the house and on the beach and the smell was truly terrible. Even if the home was amazing, I would never go back just because of the smell and you just cannot escape it, since you have to leave the windows and doors open because of the absence of air conditioning. It was just too hot to not have the entire home air conditioner. The kitchen is just ok, though it was nice to have 2 refrigerators. The groundskeeper and the housekeeper were great. There were a lot of other things in the house in disrepair, but I can overlook most of that. The biggest problem was the heat and the smell. We won’t be staying here again and wouldn’t recommend this property either.
This house is absolutely gorgeous! We had a group of 10 and it was very comfortable! Highly recommend the private chef service, the food was delicious! We loved the semi private beach and access to kayaking. My friends and I were able to spend a couple of hours stargazing on the rooftop. Everything was just perfect! Fernando and Candy helped us with anything we needed, they were so sweet and extremely helpful. The hospitality was just fantastic!!! We would definitely recommend and definitely go back.

Why they chose this property
I fell in love with Soliman Bay on my first trip to this area for its vibrant colors, warm breeze, white sand beach, crystal clear blue ocean, sound of Palm trees and hospitality of Mayans. Come and share my love for the area.
What makes this property unique
Soliman Bay is a gated enclave and access is restricted to residents and their guests. This means that beach vendors are strictly prohibited. In addition, you have more than 1 mile of white sand crescent-shaped beach, and shallow, warm, crystal clear water to share with only a handful of other homeowners, visitors, and sea turtles.
