Soliman Bay is a quiet, private beach with little traffic other than the pelicans an a few kayaks. We enjoyed getting to know some of our neighboring beachcombers and the easy access to many of the top tourist locations. Although our family of 6 had their dream vacation at Los Tulipanes, on Soliman Bay, one week did not give us enough time for all the snorkeling, scuba diving lessons, temple climbing, and sun bathing that is offerred at this heavenly spot. We need to book again! Thank you Bill for making your home available to us and Gracious Vincente for taking care of us. We hope to return.
Owner response:Becky, I am glad you and your family had a great time. Mi casa es su casa. Come back any time. Bill

Our family of four (2 adults, 2 kids) spent a fun and relaxing week in Soliman Bay. The house was immaculate, tastefully furnished, and very comfortable. Also a plus was the excellent housekeeping; we were amazed that Flor was able to keep a beachfront home so remarkably sand-free. We loved having the kayaks and snorkeling gear, books, and internet access. There is plenty to do outside the house and beach, too, as detailed in a binder, and brought to life by the property manager. It was a pleasure dealing with the owner. We hope to return in the future.

Relaxing stay in a beautiful setting

Our family enjoyed our five days in Soliman Bay. Casa Los Tulipanes was perfect for our family of 6 (4 adults + 2 year-old + 9 month-old). The sleeping accomodations were great, nice kitchen and dining area and we enjoyed the outside seating as well. The cool evening breeze kept us comfortable at night and we didn't even use the A/C in the bedrooms during the last three nights of our stay. A big plus of Soliman Bay is that it is quiet without alot of beach traffic or spring break crowd, Other great things about our stay there were the kayaks (we used them nearly everyday) and the grill outside (perfect for steak and hamburgers). Would definitely recommend taking the kayaks far out in the bay to the buoys, tying to the buoy and then jumping in to snorkel, pretty reef and lots of colorful fish. All in all, the rental was exactly as billed. The house was cleaned immaculately everyday and the caretakers, Flora and Abdullio, were great. Bill was terrific in answering all our questions. Outings to Tulum and Coba are a must. Would definitely come back and recommend to anyone hoping for a relaxing stay on the beach.
Owner response:Thomas, I am pleased to hear that you and your family had a great time. Always remember you are welcome to come back anytime to your home away from home on Soliman Bay. Bill

Thank you for renting us Los Tulipanes! We had such a great, fully relaxing time. We loved the bay, we loved the house. Flor, Abdulo and Rosa were super. Kayaks were perfect, had so much fun on them, even got a little wave riding on the south end of the bay. Everything we could have needed was at the house. I pod player, umbrellas, binoculars, rain ponchos, TV's everywhere, scissors, blender, coffee and coffee maker, etc. etc. etc. Loved the upstairs porch for yoga and exercising, loved the snorkeling, saw turtles, all kinds of fish, a stingray, the water was so beautiful. We hardly left the bay, it was so relaxing. Chamicos restaurant was excellent, really nice people, loved the low key atmosphere. Hope we can return next year! Michele, Debrae, Athena and Harry
Owner response:Michele, I am so pleased that you enjoyed your stay. Soliman Bay is a really special place. We welcome you and your family back for fun and relaxation anytime! Bill

We spent our Spring Break at the Casa Los Tulipanes on Soliman Bay near Tulum. It's a great set up for a family. Had a wonderful care taker in Vicente. Great snorkeling and a wonderful place just to relax and get away from the stresses of normal life. Every morning I would get up early and watch the sun rise and read sitting in the hammock on the beach. Can you say paradise? There are lots of "tourist" things to do within an hour drive of this location. My 19 year old daughter said this was her favorite family vacation and we've been all over - Florida, Arizona, California, Hawaii, etc. I would strongly recommend you check this place out.

I would never stay here again.
Owner response:After years of very satisfied guests, some often returning the same time each year, I am sorry to hear that you would not like to return in the future. While not every guest has the time to write a review on our website after returning to their busy schedules back home, our guest book at our home in Mexico is filled with positive comments (and great ideas about local things to do) from our prior guests. This information shared by our past guests is quite helpful to our new visitors. A nice advantage of maintaining a website at HomeAway is that we can update our site with information and ideas that will help our guests plan for their trip and better know about the area's activities. We also are able to update the site with new photos as we update our home's interior decor and gardens. Our goal has been, and will continue to be, to inform our guesta and share our knowledge and experiences in order to help our guests prepare for a wonderful and relaxing vacation. Thank you for considering our home for your vacation... Bill

Paradise! Casa Los Tulipanes is definitely has a relaxing atmosphere with great ocean views. The care takers did an excellent job. Vicente and family were wonderful hosts. They prepared us a couple of delicious meals and even set up a fishing trip for us. The snokeling in the bay was great thousand of sardines/anchovies swimming around us. We even got to see a couple of rays swim by. The ruins in Coba are a must as well as the ones in Tulum. We highly recommended lunch at El Capitan in Tulum (by far the best mixed shrimp coctail I've every had). In all we had a wonderful vacation. We plan to revisit Casa Los Tulipanes next year.

Los Tulipanes ~ peaceful, private & relaxing!

My husband and I plus our two sons stayed at Los Tulipanes in June of 07. Our first encounter was even better than I imagined & hoped for. You step off the front porch onto a private sandy oasis thick with beautiful vegetation ~ only feet away, it opens up to an incredible view of Soliman Bay. Privacy & tranquility abound. Tulum is just a short drive to the ruins and stores and many other activities are within 15 minutes in either direction from the home. My boys and I really enjoyed the cave diving nearby but we spent most of our time snorkeling from the beach in front of our home. Everyone involved with Los Tulipanes from booking to staying was very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Los Tulipanes for a secluded getaway.

Hi Bill, I was just thinking about you this morning and sending you an e-mail! Our trip was wonderful, and the accommodations were fabulous. Vincente was so pleasant and kind and always helpful when we had questions or needed anything. It was a very relaxing setting. We loved both Tulum and Akumal. We also enjoyed snorkeling in the bay right in front of the home. We would definitely do the trip again, and if it is ok, we would love to save your contact info to forward on to family & friends considering travel to Mexico.

What more can I say, my family had a ball and the staff set up an "inflatable bed" for my collage age daughter I had my doubts but it looked great and daughter reported it very comfortable. And I have leaned not to argue with daughter ( wife as well). We uesd the A/C one afternoon only and it is very strong and very quiet. The problem is the area has so many atttractions and restaurants we did not knowwhat todo first but our tooshort week ended withislounging on the white sandy beachin fronof Los Tulipanes beasue it really is like paradise. 5 stars for us and thanks to Rosa for all the local knowledge. Lissten to Rosa for restautant recs.
