Casa Caribena is a beautiful beachfront villa on a sandy white beach with a wonderful pool and fantastic palapa (thatched roof) patio for incredible outdoor living! With it's Rooftop Dipping Pool, you can see the entire bay. This is the place to be!!!
The huge kitchen has all that you need to cook what ever you like but we suggest you use our exquisite cook, Lily. Her talents are included at no additional cost; you just purchase the groceries. The dining room seats twelve people very comfortably and you may also enjoy your meals on the patio directly in front of the turquoise blue waters of the Caribbean.
The living room that is connected to the dining room by beautiful arches has American Channel Satellite TV, along with a stereo and CD player. The wet bar is connected with the living room invites you to create your Margaritas or other tropical specialties, and is located half way between the sandy beach and the delightful swimming pool area.
The pool also has a lounging area in the water so you can stay cool while soaking up the rays. The palapa patio is furnished with large oval tables with chairs, lounge chairs, and hammocks.
Upstairs on the roof, you have your personal dipping pool that seats 12 people from where you’ll gaze at the beautiful colors of the Caribbean, or the spectacular stars at night. The neighbors will be very envious of you since you are in the only rooftop dipping pool in the entire bay.
For those that would rather not get wet, there is a huge, very comfortable built in sofa along with large relaxing chairs and lounge chairs. The higher you go, the better the views. Look all the down the beach to the ruins of Tulum and beyond or north to the point. The views will astound you. This is the spot to watch the sunset, of pinks and purples, over the jungle, while sipping your Margarita or Pina Colada.
Casa Caribena is immaculately clean and furbished so that you feel the love that has been put into it. From the hand carved wooden sculptures, to the other decorations, you will see why this home is cherished.
Each bedroom is air-conditioned and has its' own private bath. There is also a half bath by the bar for your convenience and another half bath is on the roof. The master bedroom is huge and has a king-size and queen-size bed. The second bedroom is also on the beach side with a king-size bed, vanity and is very spacious.
The third bedroom has an ocean view along with a beach and jungle view. It has a queen-size bed and its bath is just a few steps down the hall. The fourth bedroom is upstairs and on the ocean with it’s king size bed, personal terrace and bath. The fifth bedroom is also upstairs with a king size bed, it’s personal terrace, bath and is facing the sea. The sixth bedroom is upstairs facing the jungle
with a queen size bed and it’s bathroom is across the hall.
Casa Caribeña invites you to have the best vacation in your life. The second living room upstairs is very comfy with 3 sofas around a TV with American satellite programming. Adjacent to this room is a game room with a wall of windows that gives you the entire view of the bay. You feel like you are outside while sitting in this room. Here you can play cards, make puzzles or just sit and have a cup of coffee in the morning. There is also a full bar up here with a full
size frig and stove and utensils.
Lounging is a priority while at Casa Caribena so there are lounge chairs on the beach along with hammocks to sway in. Besides the 13 x 26 foot pool having its own lounge area inside, there's also lounge chairs, and a hammock area with a soft sandy floor for your relaxing. Whether you are swinging in one of the hammocks on the beach side or on the jungle side, or gazing at the entire bay of Tankah from your rooftop perch, you know that you are in paradise.
Pampering is also a priority here. You have an onsite Mayan Shaman that gives the most wonderful healing massages along with relaxing massages. There is a girl that comes each week to give you manicures, pedicures, and facials while lounging around the pool, under the palapa patio or up on the roof. All of these services come to you while at Casa Caribena at very reasonable additional costs. You don't have to go anywhere.
Casa Caribena has a wireless Internet connection for you to use with your own computer. There is also a telephone, used with pre-paid calling cards. The sea kayaks are great fun to play with and the snorkeling is spectacular, directly in front on the villa. Bone fishing trips can be made to go to Boca Paila, one of the foremost bone fishing areas in the world only 45 minutes from Casa Caribena. Deep Sea fishing can also be arranged.
There is a great dive shop located at Dreams Hotel and 2 restaurants within walking distance. You are located within minutes of Mayan Ruins, Cenotes, dry caves, Playa del Carmen, Xcaret, Xel-Ha, and many other incredible sites, including Chichen Itza which is only 90 minutes away.
A few steps down the beach is the famous Manatee Cenote. This is a fresh water sink hole, emerald green, crystal clear water, where Manatees live. You have the beautiful Caribbean in front of you with the cool fresh water cenote in back of you. What a place to be... Our staff is very complete and they aim to help you enjoy the most exquisite vacation that you ever experienced. Casa Caribena is luxury in seclusion.

Owner's Profile
Why the Owner Chose Tankah
I met my husband Andre after living in Cancun for almost 4 years. He had moved to Acapulco in 1981 and just moved to Cancun in 1988. I sold real estate and had bought the lot in Tankah Tres in 1987. Being inside a bay with its warm calm waters and fantastic snorkeling was just perfect to build our home. Having cenote Manatee 250 yards away with manatees still living in there made the area magical. I have lived in Mexico and this area for almost 25 years and Andre has been in Mexico for almost 30 years. We now have started a new adventure and built a home in Belize, Central America. We love it there also and split our time living between the two villas.
There is nothing more rewarding than being able to share a place that you love with others.
The Unique Benefits of this Villa
Our guests continue to write in our comment book that the snorkeling in front of the villa is better than at Xel-Ha and other places they try. We agree, you see all that the Caribbean has to offer in only 12 feet of water in front of Casa Caribena. The sea kayaking is always fun and the laughter that you hear from both the kayaks and the beach is wonderful. It is these events that make wonderful memories with those you are with. The villa has a number of different places where the entire group of up to 14 people can all gather together and eat or just be together hanging out, watching the sunsets, sunrises, TV, playing around the pool, etc. Under 20 minutes, you are at the ruins of Tulum or Coba, over 15 different cenotes, adventure parks, world class beaches of Tulum, shopping, restaurants and much more. You are in the heart of everything the Riviera Maya has to offer while staying at Casa Caribena. These are the things we love to do while at Casa Caribena.
