Clean & comfortable in isolated beach community
Very clean apartment and property, and quiet as well, which were all positives for our family vacation. The community pool and hammocks were rarely occupied by others and we felt like we had the property to ourselves most days. Only cons were that the beach immediately by the property is very rocky/filled with coral; water shoes are a must and there are more sandy beaches nearby (we liked using the day pass option at a nearby hotel with a more protected coastline). The other, bigger, con is that the road leading into/out of the property is in terrible condition, so it made leaving the community to explore downtown Tulum or other attractions feel like a chore, and we might have left more often if not for the shape of the road.
