Habitas Tulum

Amazing stay at Our Habitas in Tulum, we spent 5 days and loved the quiet and peacefulness of the place, the staff and food were all incredible, we could not recommend a better place in Tulum ♥️ It was so nice to have a private and peaceful beach away from the loud crowds of Tulum :)

People ask, how did you find this place? At the planning stage, my wife was very busy at work, she said just pick something and book it. I wanted to see Chichen Itza and learn more about the Mayan culture. Our travel agent sent me a bunch of hotel resort choices. I scrolled quickly through cookie cutter, big hotel brands and then, wait, this is very different…Our Habitas, Tulum. For two burned out jaded professionals this was just what the doctor ordered. We arrived after dark and when security opened the gate , we were welcomed into a surreal, magical jungle world and led by Hannibal, concierge, down winding sandy paths to our own private, detached canvassed walled, thatched room cabin on the edge of the jungle touching the beach. We could smell the sea and hear the waves crashing the beach. The interior, spacious, luxurious, with king bed, vanity, excellent wifii, easily adjustable air conditioning. Then Hannibal says, with outside toilet and shower. My wife gives me that look, like what did you get me into. I dash to the door and open it to an exotic, bamboo enclosed outdoor bathroom. Relieved, I turn to her and say, it’s ok dear it has a real toilet. I have to admit, there’s something very intriguingly erotic showering naked outdoors. The next morning we awake to ethereal music floating through the palms. We make our way down to the dining room on the beach. There we have our choice of tables inside or outside beneath the palms. This is where we meet the incredible, very personable , friendly, but very well trained professional staff. The food is out of this world, Certainly , Michelin star worthy, breakfast, lunch and dinner. Each dish seducing, the flavors orgasmic. Then one of the staff lights the smudging pot and encircles the dining and bar area emitting a calming cloud over the entire area , relaxing us all and dissipating the stress we may have carried with us from home. There are so many activities to enjoy at Our Habitas, Tulum. We did things we never did before, such as a very interesting and educational alchemy class, a painting class. We didn’t know we had any artistic ability and surprised ourselves. There is also yoga in the mornings and breathing techniques taught. I encourage you to treat yourself to a massage at the spa. It will be extraordinary , as you be immersed a little more in the Mayan culture. It will be one of the best things you can do for you. My wife and I were able to disconnect from our hectic stressful careers and the weight of running a household for 10 wonderful days. And we able to reconnect as a couple and as soul mates. Some of our best times together were reading by the pool, gazing at the beautiful ocean or being lulled dreamily by the sound of the waves. Often we were the only ones frolicking in the waves on the private beach. Out Our Habitas is a small, adults only, boutique resort with only 56 cabins , so even if full, there are no crowds. The restaurant and bar staff, I must mention so many that have truly made our vacation so special: Juan, food & beverage manager, Chef Fernando and his team of incredible chefs, Wilbur, Edson, Pedro, Gutberto, Jorge, Alex & Raphael. Rhese folks work long 12 to 14 hour days when it’s busy, then have 1 to 2 hour commutes to get home to their families. They give so much to their guests, remember to be generous to them. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We hope to see you again some day and if any of you come to Vancouver it would be an honour to host you.

Beautiful place to relax and recoup from day to day life. Staff is super friendly and the environment so peaceful and. Definitely recommend! We would love to visit again. Drinks were awesome, loved all the fresh fruit juice. Rooms are great, love the outside shower.

The place is beautiful, literally inside the jungle, but the rooms are very noisy, the AC unit leaks on top of the bed and the bed can be uncomfortable as the mattress is very soft. The hotel restaurant is very good. A separate mention for the hotel employees, super nice and helpful. Showers and toilets are outdoors for most of the rooms, and interesting experience for sure. I would say that the shower idea is better than the other.

Great service, lovely stay and true barefoot luxury! Staff is amazing, great spot with private beach away from the crowds, and awesome food options (for a vegetarian). I wish I could have stayed longer as plenty of daily activities and a great spa menu. Definitely recommend.
