About this property
Amazing Tao loft overlooking the golf course.
Do you enjoy the luxury of all-inclusive resorts but crave more adventure and wish to see the real Mexico? Then this gorgeous, spacious, fully equipped and professionally decorated condo is for you. Lao-Zen is the best combination of luxurious surroundings, safety, onsite amenities, great location to access offsite entertainment options and amazing affordability!
Lao-Zen is professionally designed and decorated to be the perfect retreat - relaxing and inviting, spacious yet intimate. The condo is outfitted with internet so you can stay as connected as you like, a 55" flat screen smart TV to watch movies, and a bluetooth stereo to enjoy listening to your music. The sofa was selected for its lounging comfort and option to pull out for sleeping. The kitchen is fully equipped with high quality appliances, pots, dishes and utensils if you wish to prepare your own meals to enjoy on the terrace dining table.
The terrace is amazing - with both a dining table for four as well as a lounge area to enjoy reading a book with a hot coffee or cold margarita. The terrace is fully screened in so you can enjoy meals drinks or longing with a good book without any bugs to worry about. The terrace overlooks the 5th green of the stunning Bahia Principe golf course which offers the entertainment of watching golfers try to sink their putts. Rather than facing another building or parking lot, you are facing nature allowing you to fully relax. The colorful songbirds that land in the nearby tree canopy offer natural music to the ears.
The terrace is on the second floor - that means there are no jungle creatures and way less insects than the ground floor. Because the terrace is covered, it isn't as hot as the penthouse rooftops, so it can be enjoyed on the sunniest days or even on a rainy day. In addition, full sized screen doors allow you to leave the terrace doors open to enjoy the fresh air indoors without any worries about uninvited visitors.
Essential to a great vacation is an amazing bed. To rest in Lao-Zen, retreat to the beautifully decorated bedroom with a comfortable king size bed with high quality bedding. The bedroom walls slide in order to be closed for extra privacy. There are blackout blinds on the window for those who like to sleep late and a safe for your valuables and electronics (large enough for your laptop and several other devices). The stylish ensuite bathroom has a large shower that never runs out of hot water due to the on-demand hot water heater along with the softest fluffiest towels. Here for a longer stay? No problem with the washer and dryer unit to do your laundry. There is even a drying rack for more delicate items.
When it's time to cool down, head over to one of the pools. The pool is just off the 4th hole golf fairway with lots of trees and birds. There are lots of pool loungers and umbrellas and a BBQ grill so you can grill up some fresh fish for lunch. There are plenty of tables for socializing and meeting people from around the world.
If you want to go "all inclusive" for the day - no problem! Just purchase a day pass, hop on the free resort shuttle and enjoy all the amenities of the five star Bahia Principe resort. Pools, restaurants, shows and the fabulous beaches, and when you're done at the resort, come back to your beautiful relaxing condo.
Lao-Zen is located in the Tao Inspired Living community within the Bahia Principe Resort Property and is a great safe location (double gated) to enjoy all that the Mayan Rivieria offers. Tao is right in the middle of the Mayan Riviera near Akumal with Playa del Carmen 22 miles North and Tulum 15 miles South.
A rental car is recommended to fully enjoy all the surrounding attractions of the area.
Within a 30 minute drive of Tao you will find:
Multiple beaches and cenotes for swimming and snorkelling
Multiple golf courses
Adventure parks for ziplining, ATVs, etc.
Akumal for snorkelling with turtles
Tulum town and ruins
Playa Del Carmen nightlife and shopping
Cirque du soleil
Xcaret, Xplor, Xoximilco and Xel-ha and the new Xsenses

About the host
Hosted by Marcus Matzeit

We are a Canadian family of four that has searched far and wide for a tropical getaway. The requirements are: tropical climate, near the ocean, lots of different activities to enjoy, lots of restaurants and tourist amenities, easy access to an international airport, and a safe, beautiful community. We found our dream getaway with the Lao-zen loft, in the Tao Inspired Living community, on the Mayan Riviera.
Why they chose this property
Tao is a stunningly beautiful community that has everything going for it. The community is nestled in the gorgeously landscaped Bahia Principe golf course and residence property. It's set up for 24 hour safety as visitors must pass through the Bahia Principe security gate as well as the Tao community security gate. It has access to numerous swimming pools, beaches, restaurants, and Mayan riviera attractions - if you want something fun to do, you can find it nearby. Alternatively if you want to relax, bird watch and attend yoga or exercise classes everyday, you don't even need to leave the Tao community. Spa services are also available to ensure you have every opportunity to enjoy your vacation.
Tao owners and guests can use the amenities of the adjacent 5 star Bahia Principe resort for free. If you want food and drink at the Bahia Principe included you can buy a resort all-inclusive day pass. Just take the golf cart shuttle over to the resort of your choosing and enjoy yourself. On the other hand, if you want to go and explore the amazing food, sights and experiences of the Mayan riviera, you will have great difficulty choosing from the incredible options. From visiting Mayan ruins or colorful towns, to the vibrant city of Playa del Carmen, to snorkelling or diving near one of the planet's largest reefs.....there is something for everyone!

What makes this property unique
Lao-Zen overlooks the golf course so it has a great view of the insanely green golf course along with the added benefit of privacy. From the second story terrace, the beautiful lush trees allow for great bird watching and relaxation. You will not hear any road or city noises, but rather the sounds and bird songs of the jungle.
Lao-Zen is professionally decorated with a feel of sophisticated yet organic luxury. The condo feels like a home away from home where you can relax after a long day enjoying the activities of your choosing.
