We had the ocean front cabana, what a beautifull place. perfect beach with clean ocean (with nice waves). Cabanas are clean but keep in mind you are on the beach (but that is why you go here). The nighs are hot and the ocean can be loud (zo bring ear plugs). If you have a car, 5-10 min drive and... more

We rented the house at retiro maya after lots of online research. we loved the place because of the space! most of the houses in tulum are very small and do not give that homey feeling. the house at retiro maya was a place you wanted to hang out and entertain- the beach was amazing and you have your own... more

We LOVED Retiro Maya. The location is... in a word: paradise. The beach is pristine, with sand soft as cotton and waters warm as your spit (that really is the best description for the water temp) and ever-changing in its shade of blue. One of my favorite things was watching the clouds morph throughout the day. The rooms are great... more

First, Big thanks for Joy (the super cool cook at Retiro Maya who stumbled upon the place while traveling some years back and has been there ever since) for hooking us up!!! Secondly, I would say the Retiro Maya bar/lounge is the place to be on a Saturday night in Tulum! The music was amazing and the margaritas and pena... more

I'm going to say some things were not satisfactory, but I might go here again. First time in Tulum and I have nothing to compare with. I have traveled many times to the Yucatan and left a wonderful place in Majahual to come here. I went with a friend and we were surprised at having the worst cabana assigned to... more

We just returned from 2+ weeks at Retiro Maya and to be brief, it simply could not have been better. We rented the 3 bedroom house that is part of the place and put our au pair in one of the cabanas. The facilities were great, far superior to the house we rented last year. The location is superb, on... more

I walked down the beach from Playa Azul and stumbled on to this gem. I initially stayed for 2 nights and every morning after I walked up to book another night promising to leave the next day. It turned into an 8 day stay. I met great people there and checked out many other cabanas during my stay but found... more

My boyfriend and I just came back from a lovely weekend there. It was like being in paradise, definitly is one of the most beautiful beaches all around the world: white and soft sand, great warm turqoise blue ocean, superb weather, peace, relax, and fun. Lu is the owner and manager and she gives every guest nothing but the best.... more

Stay away from this place: I went with my family over x-mas break for some good quality time. The beach was very nice and safe for the children, so I could relax. The hotel was advertised as a quite yoga type place where they hosted retreats. It turned out that while we were there, the yoga pavilion was turned into... more
