Villa aislada frente al mar en Sian Ka'an, Tulum

Pura Naturaleza!

Beautiful place in a natural reserve. It comes with a family who live on the property and operate as staff, Miriam, David and Freddy, cooking meals if you pay for that option, cleaning up, etc. They're beautiful people and wonderful at what they do, the food is ok but ingredients, aside from the fruits, are mostly just ok. A lot of cheap Bimbo White Bread, precooked rice -- the special hot sauces and beans were delicious though.The area is nice, the beach is a bit depressing, full of garbage that floats down from Cancun area and a lot of weeds. We swam a few days we were there but it requires getting past that. Most of our time was spent just lounging around the property, near the pool, elsewhere, reading and relaxing, while Miriam and family prepared food for us. I think we could have done that for less money elsewhere, and it's not really our kind of vacation in general anyway. We're not really all-inclusive kinds of people unless there are a lot of fun activities. I got antsy, had hoped to body surf but that was not going to happen on those beaches, explore nature more and see the ruins. But the trip we took on a boat was pretty dull. Go find a dolphin and gather around in tourist boats, take pictures of a head poking out, then on to the next thing. Snorkling in very hazy waters, follow a sea turtle around in a boat for a bit, try to find a manatee. Not nothing, but we've done similar tours that were better in Florida and way better in places like Hawaii. Did scuba too..

Our stay at this secluded beachfront house was nothing short of magical. The pristine beauty of the location is simply breathtaking, with the house situated right on a gorgeous, serene beach. It is the perfect getaway for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life. If you don't like swimming in the ocean, there is always the perfectly attended refreshing pool. The team of attendants – David, Myriam, and Freddy – were exceptional. Their attention to detail and dedication to our comfort made all the difference. They promptly addressed any issues that arose, including the time Freddy went above and beyond to replace our flat tire. David's culinary skills deserve a special mention; his local dishes were a highlight of our stay, giving us a true taste of the region's flavors. In summary, this secluded beachfront house offers an unparalleled blend of natural beauty, relaxation, and outstanding service. It’s a perfect destination for those seeking peace, comfort, and a touch of local charm. Highly recommended for an unforgettable beach vacation!

What a house! Our group (5 adults & 4 young adults) stayed at Casa Almaviva for a 3 night getaway before a wedding. Yes, the drive is a bit rough, but it is well worth it. Besides, we considered it part of the adventure and laughed our way through the bumps. We chose to hire a driver service and went without a car while there. No car was needed as we spent our days in the pool, on the beach and in the common living space. The more adventurous people in the group took advantage of the kayaks and snorkel gear as well. The house was well maintained and had touches that made it feel luxurious. David, Miriam, and Freddy were great hosts. They fed us well and helped with anything we needed. Hachi (the house chihuahua) took his guarding duties seriously 😆, but also loved a nice lap to sleep on. We hope to go back soon! Almost tempted to give it a bad review so the dates don’t fill up to quickly!! We definitely plan on going back. There is great fly fishing in the area and

As other people have mentioned in other reviews, the road out to this house after the Tulum trek is a bumpy long trek. You’ll definitely want a larger vehicle or someone local who is used to the roads. But it is WELL worth the trek. This place is the kind of nature you see only a handful of times in a lifetime. Chrystal clear waters, and incredible wildlife. We all felt so close to nature and spent each night looking at the stars together and talking. The days we spent swimming in the ocean and relaxing in the sand. Sadly, as you walk along the beach away from the house, there is some trash that seems to get swept in from the ocean. But the beach in front of the house is large, private, and very well maintained. The hosts, David and Miriam (as well as Freddy and the rest of the team) are some of the kindest humans I’ve ever met. The hospitality was over and above. Miriam even helped hold one of the babies for a dinner so the parents could enjoy their meal in peace. They also had a very sweet little dog (Hatchi) who hung out with us and entertained our toddler for most of the trip. House is very clean and nicely maintained. Beds are very comfortable and some thoughtful touches (like speakers charged and ready to play music). Food was very delicious and a nice mix of authentic Mexican and some more American dishes. David and Miriam quickly helped us with all requests. Todd was also great with helping coordinate before the trip.
