Reviews
VRBO Bear stayed here:
I’m one of the luckiest bears around, and I’ve done quite a bit of traveling, but my recent trip to the ecologically-friendly Taninah in Playa del Carmen, Mexico was both more exciting and more relaxing than I could have imagined. The layout of the property was perfect for all the members of my group, with private guest houses for us to stay in, but plenty of places for us to congregate. The older bears enjoyed relaxing by the pool and hot tub, while the young cubs hid in the private cave and pretended like they were hibernating before sliding down the water slide into the crystal clear pool. The bear cubs were able to enjoy the in-ground trampoline, basketball court, treehouse, and sandbox, plus the game room, complete with pool table, ping pong, and air hockey, while the grown-up bears took advantage of the fitness center, library, putt putt course and driving range. One of the favorite activities for us bears of all ages was swinging down the zip-line on the property and letting the cool breezes whiz through our fur. Even if we never left the house, we would still “bearly” have enough time to take it all in!
Besides the exceptional amenities and the great location, what really set this vacation home apart from other homes we’ve stayed in are the owners and on-site staff. The homeowners have really taken care to preserve the natural surroundings while offering a completely unique experience for their guests. The staff is available to take care of your every need 24 hours a day from the very start of your trip.
When we’d arrive back at the house after a day of excursions the staff was waiting with cool washcloths on silver platters – we bears aren’t used to this kind of red-carpet treatment! After a full day, we would head into our dens for the night, and find that our beds were prepared with turn-down service. All in all, the availability of the staff and the privacy of the home made for the utmost in relaxation, yet the convenience to nearby activities and all the amenities at the property kept us on the go!

Owner info
Year Purchased: 1997
About the owner: My name is Marino in 1998 I began building in what I envisioned would become a family getaway set in the midst of a nearby pristine jungle. In 1999, I completed the first incarnation of Taninah. Over the course of four glorious years my family and I enjoyed Taninah as our private and secret retreat. During this time I continually added elements transforming Taninah into my version of paradise. In 2003, I decided to turn Taninah into the most unique vacation experience and exotic rental property in the Riviera Maya.
Why the Owner Chose Solidaridad, Quintana Roo, Mexico:
In 1997 I decided to look for property in Mexico's famed Riviera Maya near Playa del Carmen.
At the time, I lived in Playa and our initial intention was to buy a small parcel I could develop for a weekend home...a place I could go to escape to with my family from Playa del Carmen’s ever growing popularity and explosive growth.
In October of 1998, despite the fact there was no an access road, I started clearing the property. This meant hiking nearly two miles through dense jungle on narrow surveyor's paths while carrying whatever tools and supplies were required to get the job done.
Just eight months after the first underbrush was cleared, I finished the initial incarnation of our dream which included the Casa, basic landscaping and our original pool area.
Over the years (guided by the desire to create the perfect, most ideal place for my own family) I have continually made improvements and added elements to Taninah.
On the surface, I are certain that you and your family will enjoy our unique and exotic guest houses along with all the fun and exciting installations and amenities I've added; however, my deepest desire is that the natural beauty, peaceful atmosphere, and unforgettable ambiance of Taninah will revitalize your souls as it has my family's.
It is with great honor and pride we offer our private jungle retreat, our passion, our paradise to you and your family.
Sincerely,
The Tomacelli Family
