We arrived in Tulum about a week before our wedding and wanted a "home base" before the big day. This condo was absolutely perfect! From the warm welcome by Philippe to the condo itself, we found everything to be just like home (OK, maybe even nicer!). He gave us great recommendations for dinners out, plus they thoughtfully had a bottle of wine and fruit waiting since it was a special event for us -aww! There was also a book of recommendations and details about the condo, which answered every question - though Philippe was always willing to have a chat if we ran into him in the courtyard. It's those types of personal touches that really set this place apart.
The condo itself was beautiful, too. Tastefully decorated with just enough Mexican flair in the linens and decor. Lots of things in the kitchen, should you want to cook, though we primarily used it for breakfast, snacks and drinks (the important things in life, right?) We took advantage of the pool, which felt almost private even though it belongs to the whole condo. The entire complex, though lived in, was quiet and peaceful.
As others have said, this is a great value for Tulum - all the creature comforts (including TV, wifi and A/C) without the hefty price tag. Yes, you do have to drive or bike into a Tulum beach club to enjoy the sand and surf, but coming home to this lovely little retreat (including the top floor palapa, hot tub and grill) is totally worthwhile. Thank you for a lovely stay - it was the perfect way to kick off our wedding in Tulum!
