Beach Front Casa - Soliman Bay - 10 Min. North of Tulum

What can be said that has not already been said. Solimon bay is serene and laid back and from a bygone era it seems. At least from this Casa. The setting and the house and everything about this property helps you unplug and step back and enjoy . Obdulio and Flor were great . THe meal we had Flor prepare for us was fantastic with leftovers that kept us going into the next day. Loved it !! Also read David's book "Tulum" while there, which was great and added a bit to the adventure and enjoyment of the area. Thanks so much.

This was such a small sweet cabana and casita, it's much smaller than those around it but perfect for the 5 of us. I could see the sunrise from my bed in the casita. Solimon Bay is a special place, we walked it all. This is a place to go if you want quiet and peace. If you want party central go to hotel row in Tulum- 10 minutes south or Playa del Carmen 30-45 min north.

The caretakers were great and Flor's cooking was the best meals we had in Mexico and I'd recommend them to people staying at other houses. We would've liked paddleboards to play with as the place that rents them down the beach charges 25$/Hr (outrageous- they rent in Calif for 8-10$/hr). The kayaks are a little weathered and probably need a little help (re-epoxied) but they did work, just have to dump water frequently.. Idyllic setting

Stayed at Nah Yaxche for 9 days in Dec 2016 with family and it was absolutely perfect! We're already planning our return. The pictures were a little confusing when I was booking, but Dave responded quickly to all my questions. The main unit has the living room and kitchen with the main bedroom and bathroom. Separated from the house is the casita with one bed and it's own bathroom. This is perfect if your traveling with friends or with family and want some privacy. Both units have an amazing view of the water, which I will get to in a bit.

I was concerned about mosquitoes, but there were barely any! Most of my bites were from outings to Tulum, which is a quick drive away. The roads on the highway are smooth and easy to drive. Dave gives very clear directions once you book and the drive from the airport is easy if you follow his directions or your gps. The main dirt road leading to the house must have been re-done because it was smooth without any potholes. Once you get closer to the house the road gets a little bumpy, but very manageable even with a small sedan. You have to drive slow anyways.

The beach is priceless! This is my fifth time to the Cancun/PDC area and nobody beats the water in soliman bay. I'm hesitant to rave about this place because I want it all to myself! Everyday you'll see turtles popping their heads out of the water just while sitting on the beach chairs. Take the kayaks out and there are boat ties to park and go snorkeling or just go snorkeling off the beach. Anywhere you go you'll see fish and turtles! The water was calm enough to sit in my floater and relax.

Abdulio the Flor, the housekeepers, were lovely and have great tips if you ask. They've been there for 20 years or so so they know a thing or two about the area. We ended up arriving much later than expected for our check in due to traffic in Cancun from an event plus rainy weather on our drive from the airport and Abdulio was ready and waiting for us.

I could not ask for a better vacation home. We'll definitely be back!

I should've written this ages ago. But having just returned from a different spring break, we spent much of the time talking about how great this trip to Soliman Bay was last spring break. Thank you so much for maintaining such a beautiful, clean, comfortable home in Soliman Bay so close to Tulum and right on the water. We thought Flor's meal she graciously cooked for us was the best food we had the entire 10 days. We had a perfect vacation. Perfect.

We spent 7 nights at Nah Yaxche in late April this year and it was wonderful. The house and property are exactly as represented here. It's a lovely setting on a protected, idyllic bay. There is a master bedroom and loft in the main house with the kitchen, and an equally charming smaller separate 1-bedroom house adjacent. We had two couples and our 12 year old son and it provided a great balance of community and privacy. The caretakers rake the beach and cleanup so everything looks good every day. Bahia Soliman is an ideal location close to Tulum, the cenotes, Xel Ha, deep sea fishing and diving facilities (Puerto Aventura and Akumal respectively). Tulum is 10 minutes away (with restaurants, grocery stores, etc. as well as the coastal ruins), the ruins at Coba are about an hour away, Puerto Aventura is half an hour, and Cancun Airport is about an hour and a half. You will need a car to get around.

From the beach, you can paddle out to the reef on one of the three kayaks, and the snorkeling is amazing. Beautiful large coral structures, high biodiversity, and all an easy paddle (or swim) from the beachfront. We saw turtles, eels (at night), rays, skates, and loads of fish.

The house is well supplied and cared for. The owner (David) was easy to deal with and quick to reply to questions and provide advice for our trip. He cares about the house and the community; he wrote a book about Tulum.

I spent a lot of time hunting around VRBO, Trip Advisor, and other sites to find a place to stay. I had some level of concern that Nah Yaxche might be too good to be true and that we would be disappointed by reality upon arrival, but that wasn't the case. The photos on this site look exactly like my vacation photos from last week.

If you're looking for a beach-front house on a white sand beach, with rich architecture and a great location, you will be happy here. It's a relaxed, low key setting for enjoying Caribbean tranquility.
