Wedding In Paradise
We stayed at Casa Tortuga for our wedding. My wife had stayed there several years earlier. My expectations were far underestimated.
We arrived and were greeted by the caretakers Luis & Gabby. I was amazed at how incredible the house was with its thatched roof and shuttered windows. We unpacked and had a wonderful dinner which Luis & Gabby had prepared for our late arrival. The music from the sound system was soon playing outside and in. Everyone was excited; on vacation at last! We enjoyed the rest of the night in the hammocks on the beach under a full moon. At sunrise we were amazed to find how beautiful the water and sand really were. There's nothing like waking up to waves crashing and a warm breeze blowing through the windows. Imagine opening the door/windows and while lying in bed gaze out at the light blue waters and white sandy beach at what seems like the foot of the house!
We prepared breakfast on the kitchen stove, and enjoyed it especially with a cool glass of Oj/pineapple juice. Our time was spent in the hammocks, swimming, snorkeling, kayaking and visiting with family and friends staying in houses nearby. We used the snorkeling gear to see fish, turtles, eels and rays all within swimming distance of the house. We visited cenotes, Mayan ruins and other beaches all within a short drive.
The wedding went off without a hitch. Forty of our friends and family made it to paradise. Everyone had an unforgettable time attending the Mayan ceremony. The sky changed colors as the sun set behind the house and the full moon rose above the ocean. The grounds and private beach made for some beautiful pictures and memories which will never be forgotten.
The time to leave came too soon. Casa Tortuga was everything we could have dreamed of and more. It was the prefect place to have our wedding and an even better place to spend a week in the sand with our friends. We will be back as soon as we can...perhaps for our one year!

Beautiful Paradise of Relaxation!
Casa Tortuga was such an amazing experience! I highly recommend Casa Tortuga, for any travelers staying in Tulum.
I spent a 2 weeks unforgettable weeks there, and my husband and I are already planning our trip back!
The house is very roomy. We were a large party of 12 people, we were all very comfortable!
The downstairs patio is so much fun! There is a large table, grill and surround sound wired all over the patio. Needless to say we had a great time sipping some drinks, and eating a fresh catch from the bay.
We asked the caretaker Luis to prepare meals for us and he did a Wonerful job! Everything was home mad and delicious! Yum! Gabby even provided us with laundry service, and maid service.
We took the Kayaks out into the Bay and snorkeled all afternoon. The reefs are some of the best I have seen. I even say a turtle swim by!
The house was very nice, and clean. I loved falling asleep under the big palapa to the sound of the waves. The hammocks out front were wonderful to lounge on, and the bar inside + surrounds sound = a ton of fun!
I saw other rentals and hotels, and they were either mc mansions, or tacky all inclusive resorts, all I can say is I am happy I was at Casa Tortuga, it was authentic and the private beach was great! :)

Great location for vacation and wedding!
I stayed at Casa Tortuga during my sister's wedding in February 2010. They had the ceremony and reception at the house and it was a beautiful location for both. It accommodated about 40 people. The house is located on the beach on a private bay/beach and is a great place for relaxing, snorkeling, kayaking, and reading in a hammock. The house is great for having a family or friends getting together for a vacation. There is a kitchen for cooking but also nearby restaurants to go to and you can request a meal to be made by the ground/home keepers of house which was great food! There are two floors with a bedroom, kitchen and living room upstairs and two bedrooms downstairs. There is also a great place to eat on the beach to next to it for awesome food on the beach. I would highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a stay in Mexico.

Gorgeous view and very comfy house
Loved being able to run out everyday and jump in the ocean. Lovely outdoor shower. Spacious rooms and kitchen. Had fabulous visit to Chichen Itza and Coba. Shopping was fun as was exploring the surrounding areas. Can't wait to go back again. The house was beautifully and tastefully decorated. We have told everyone who would listen about our trip to the pretty Casa Tortuga. Unique!!!

Beautiful Trip
One of my closest college friend's had her wedding at Casa Tortuga. What a beautiful seen! Close to the Mayan Ruins, and many beautiful beaches. The beach is steps away. The staff was kind and extremely tidy. We were partying pretty hard and the place always shinned.

Amazing Getaway!
My husband and I were lucky enough to stay at Casa Tortuga for a few days for our friends' wedding. We instantly fell in love with this charming bungalow on the beach. We arrived pretty late in the evening but the staff was waiting with a meal prepared and smiling, welcoming faces. We spent the days kayaking the bay and relaxing with cervezas in the palapa-shaded hammocks. We fell asleep every night to the sound of the waves breaking gently on the shore and the breeze rustling through the coconut trees. Casa Tortuga is located within a short driving distant to shopping and tourist attractions but what I liked was that it was not in a resort type setting. There is a nice restaurant located on the north end of the beach that has a nice selection of mediterranean type food. On the south end of the beach there is a small fish stand that served delicious, fresh fish and ceviche. Both establishments are within walking distance to Casa Tortuga. It was the perfect place to escape to in the middle of winter. The perfect weather, comfortable amenities, and friendly caretakers make Casa Tortuga a great destination for a relaxing getaway. My only complaint was that we couldn't stay longer! My husband and I can't wait to go back!

Enjoyed Our Honeymoon
We wanted a place that was away from the main tourist spots but close enough to them that we could easily day trip there. Casa Tortuga was ideal! We made several trips to Cancun and Playa del Carmen. We also enjoyed the quiet walks on the beach and the incredible snorkling on the reef. At landlord's suggestion we made an unforgettable day trip to Coba to visit the Mayan ruins there, and we even took an overnight trip, unescorted, to Chichen Itza. All in all this was a trip to remember and spacious and airy Casa Tortuga was the perfect venue for our "Luna de Miel"!

Soliman Bay is situated about 110 km (66 miles) south of the Cancun Airport.
