We rented this stunning villa and the 10 room El Paraiso hotel for our wedding week in November. Hacienda is truly a dream come true located on the best beach in Riviera Maya. Since Tulum beach is not connected to the electrical grid, all the hotels have to generate their on power: either solar, wind or generator. Even some of the high-end boutique hotels do not have a full time electricity, and will only have power for guests from sunset to 12 or 2am...it might be great and romantic if you are on your honeymoon, but imagine confiding our 50 guests from 6 countries to a partial electricity...a lot of people would not be ok with that...so full electricity was a must have on out list. Location: El Paraiso beach is located north of the Tulum hotel zone. It's a National Park territory, so there is only a handful of properties, it makes for a very exclusive and not a highly populated area. Incredible white (and I mean really white) sand beach, stunning turquoise water...the pictures truly do not do the justice, you have to see it! Absolute paradise!!!Paraiso Beach Club is located next door, and is open for lunch and dinner as well as drinks, snacks, coffee and ice cream. It's very convenient, has fantastic service and food. Our group of 50 had many meals at the restaurant and they even arranged to have it served on the terrance at the villa under the full moon light. But the Tulum hotel zone is still just 5 min cab ride away and 10min from downtown area...so tons of other great restaurant options. Villa: from the outside the Villa looks nice, but wait until you see the decor on the inside! Beautiful custom floors, hand made heavy all wooden furniture, full size kitchen with 2 fridges, open concept, surround sound, plunge pool, 2 amazing terraces...it just doesn't end! It's huge - very spacious and well planned. 5 out of the 6 bedrooms have an ocean front view! Staff: I can not say enough regarding incredibly attentive and courteous team that takes care of this place! Silvia, who manages the Hacienda and the hotel, is an absolute doll! She is accommodating and intuitive, we couldn't have asked for more! With such a large group, we definitely needed help and she was there every step of the way: from planning months in advance to the wedding day! Her whole team, including Beatriz and Juan, is just amazing! The Hacienda and the grounds are kept spotless and well maintained. Our every question, request or issue was handled within minutes! We can't wait to return!
