Yax-Muul Tours

Our stay at Casa Gitano was only one night and it was far down the single road going into Tulum (about 30 mins). We enjoyed the beautiful beach view from our room. The room was smaller than we imagined at 500 sq ft but we had just enough space for two. The major issue was the water. We had no hot water the entire time. It got lukewarm at best. But overall we still enjoyed our stay.

Hotel was clean and well maintained. Service was great from housekeeping to waitstaff. The front desk wasn’t the best at check out but overall great service Our room was comfortable, clean with a stunning ocean view The only negative was the quality and value of the food and drinks. We had breakfast, lunch and ordered food at the beach. The quality was middle of the road but at Miami prices. We ended paying $125 for lunch for the two of us and a drink at the beach is $17-18 for unremarkable, water down cocktails. I can go to Miami for those prices and get better quality It had been 2 years since our last visit to Tulum. I will look for other places in the future. Prices have risen to Miami levels but you still have to endure some of the negatives like lack of street sidewalks, chaotic and extremely congested traffic, poor street lighting, risk of food poisoning, and a hint of insecurity. (We saw a group of fully geared Marine squad including their M16, patrolling the beach. I thought I was in an episode of Seals) Overall we had a good but not excellent experience that would make me want to go back

We had such an amazing stay at this boutique hotel! Super cute vibe, super clean, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Even though the ocean wasn’t great because of the sargassum, we still had a wonderful time in Tulum. I’d definitely recommend visiting between October and March for better beach conditions. We didn’t rent a car, but the hotel arranged all our transportation, which made everything super easy. Meeting Simon, our driver, was a total bonus—he was awesome! Definitely one of our favorite stays
