Owner's Map of Tulum
I built Casa Retiro Magico to host families and groups in search of a relaxed vacation in the Mexican Caribbean. The 3 bedroom villa, which sleeps up to 10 people, is adjacent to Retiro Maya, my petit hotel, and therefore if you're traveling with a larger party, we can accommodate them in the eco-chic cabanas next door. Retiro Maya also features a restaurant that caters Mexican, Vegetarian & Seafood, so come join us next door for delicious food. We can also arrange for a cook to prepare your meals at the Villa's Kitchen.

My wife and I (college teacher, consultant, 50's) spent a week at Retiro Maya in March, 2005 and had a wonderful time. We'll go back as soon as we can. The resort is a small collection of rustic beach cabanas, run by an owner who signs her emails "peace and love," and who bills it as the "place for romantic love," which I guess refers to the large comfy beds and candle light. It appeals to people who value close contact with sand, sun, and sea, without a lot of modern facilities and technology between them and the environment, but who also want a bit more comfort than straight-out beach camping. That's us. We brought a whole suitcase full of snorkel gear for excursions to cenotes and reefs, but wound up just completely relaxed on the beach with good books for the entire week. On the positive side, Retiro Maya is in a perfect location right on a fabulous beach, close to two excellent restaurants: (a 5-minute walk north along the beach) and (a 9-minute walk south along the beach). The beach itself is fantastic -- soft, cool sand, no rocks, few weeds, plenty of surf for riding the waves, nearly deserted, except for right in front of various resorts, goes on for miles to the south for long walks. The cabanas are nicely sized, with king-size beds, good mattresses, stick exteriors, stucco interiors, sand floors, thatched roofs, mosquito nets, covered front porch with hammock and two very comfortable wooden chaise lounges with blue canvas pads, no electricity, candles provided, clean sheets and fluffy white towels. Next time, we would go for the cabanas with private bath and shower nearest to the beach. The owner Lu catered to us all the time and the staff was very nice and helpful, . The restaurant was nicely designed, with delicious mexican food, Opened all day. Bottom line: for us, wonderful location, fabulous beach, nice staff and well-designed cabanas. We can't wait to return.

Querida Lu, En días pasados, el Sábado para ser exacto, estuve en tu hotel y quiero felicitarte por tan buen gusto. Tuve una experiencia maravillosa y altamente repetible y recomendable. Te insito a que no permitan que el progreso les llegue, ya que deterioraría lo bello del hábitat en el que se manejan Retiro Maya y los demás complejos. Dale, por favor, las gracias a Julie, que me atendió muy amable y cándida y al salir no tuve la oportunidad de despedirme. Atentamente, Alejandro Rivera Executive Director From US 888-845-8332 From MX 664-681-8344
