8BR villa in Tulum

Ambre Epices Luxury 8BR Villa Private Pool Tulum - Riads for Rent in Tulum, Quintana Roo, Mexico

We had a group of 12 stay and it was absolutely amazing! Alain was amazing and very responsive. The villa is an absolute dream! One of the most amazing pools to lounge in. You will not regret staying in this amazing villa!

Hi Amber, we are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us and yes that pool is the best. We will relay your kind words to our local team. Have a great summer 💐.

Alain was a phenomenal host and concierge. The private Chef’s dinners were spectacular.

Hi Mark, we are thrilled to hear that you had a great time while staying with us during your visit to Tulum. We will definitely share your kind words with the team! Have a great summer and see you again soon.

This house is absolutely stunning, the photos truly don’t do it justice. It was so beautiful that I could have easily spent all six days just relaxing at the house. There were 15 of us, and we all had way more space than we expected. The house is enormous, impeccably clean, and the location is perfect. It’s situated in a peaceful area with minimal traffic but just a short drive to the main town and all the attractions. The standout feature of our stay was the exceptional service from the concierge, Alain. From the moment we booked, he went above and beyond to make our trip unforgettable. Even a month before our arrival, he was helping us plan our itinerary, make reservations, and ensure we maximized our time. During our stay, he was incredibly responsive, often replying to our messages within a minute. No request was too big or small, he made everything happen seamlessly. Honestly, I would come back to this house just because of how incredible Alain’s service was. This place was a gem

Al was an absolutely amazing host from start to finish. From the moment we booked until the day we left Tulum, he went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. He helped us arrange everything—our private chef, excursions, dinners, transportation—and even provided great restaurant recommendations. He was incredibly responsive and accommodating, especially with our large group of 13. Al truly made our experience 100x better, and I can't thank him enough for everything. Highly recommend!

Hi Symaani, thank you so much for your kinds word and taking the time to tell us how your stay at Ambré went.  We will definitely share your feedback with our team. Come back and visit us again soon.

Beautiful villa, but misses the mark. Surrounded my construction, I was woken up by the sound of a chisel every morning. There were cockroaches and scorpions in my room. Pool was okay, a little cold, and the second smaller pool was half full half the time. Location is quite far from the main areas of Tulum. Closest stores were more than a 20 minute walk. The location on the AirBNB map does not match the actual location you stay. We had to pay upwards of $100 CAD for round trip transportation to the main areas of Tulum every day. There is security on site up until a certain point. You cannot leave and come to the villa as you please or at any time of night or day as you are not given a key to the actual villa. All quite inconvenient. Pool side chairs were uncomfortable, couches were dirty, and a lot of aspects of the villa were dirty or broken (windows unclean, broken) and the rooftop was unfinished. Looks like the pictures but over all lacklustre, unfortunately.

Dear guest, Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback. We're surprised as you didn't inform our on site concierge about these matters during your stay! As owners we always welcome comments and suggestions that help us grow and improve our product; Ensuring that our guests enjoy their stay with us to the fullest! Our villa’s location is exactly as described in our listing: nestled in the heart of the jungle! offering a unique, calm setting away from city noise. We understand that this natural environment sometimes presents its own wild side, that's why you experienced an issue with insects; but to address this, we do perform regular fumigations and daily checks, and we will be reinforcing our measures. Construction can be a little overwhelming in Tulum, we completely understand, Our goal is to keep our guests informed of any near by construction. We can see that the rainy weather limited your experience, as cover mats were needed to protect our installations. On sunny days, however, our loungers and rooftop create the perfect environment to relax and enjoy the day. We truly take your remarks into account as we strive to provide the best experience possible for all our guests, It has been an extreme pleasure having you over! Warm Regards, Ambre Epices Team

We booked many Airbnb but this one was at the top of the most beautiful houses we stayed in. It is a huge Moroccan style house with 8 bedrooms, all with a private bathroom and a unique personality. The level of service by Alain and Mohamed was at a five star luxury hotel level. There is a courtyard with a huge pool and even a cool room above it for socializing. Alain took care of all our needs and organized amazing breakfasts and a dinner. From the moment you enter this house, you feel like Royalty. Even days before our stay Alain set up a messaging group and made sure to communicate and organize every thing we needed. This is a must stay Airbnb.

We had our wedding at Ambre and Alain was extremely helpful. My family and friends enjoyed their stay here for sure. Thank you!

The home looked just like the pictures and my party was very impressed. This is a great place to have some privacy. The only cons are the drive to the house because the area is still being developed and a few things related to cleanliness. Seems the housekeepers missed a few details here and there that were quickly addressed once we pointed them out. Examples: trash was left in one of the trash cans of one of the bathrooms when we first arrived and a tub or two wasn’t cleaned on the second day as there was a dirt ring or hair still left from the previous night after we arrived. I chose the place for the many tubs and they were used by each guest every night! We even brought our own bath salts to soak in the tub. Alain was very responsive and helpful in finding restaurants to visit. He also set up the chef which was great and was flexible when we had to move the dinner back 2 hours because our day trip to Chichen Itza went late. There’s also 24/7 security which helped us feel safe.

Hi Brianna, we thank you for taking the time to share your amazing time while staying with us. So sorry to hear about the trash and tub issue. We have also shared your cleaning comments with our housekeeping team and will definitely make sure this never occurs again. Those tubs are truly the best way to unwind after a long day exploring 𝐓𝐮𝐥𝐮𝐦. Bonita Dia.

We hosted our friend’s bachelorette at this property and it was truly the best time. Alain was beyond attentive and responsive and anticipated our every need! Alain coordinated our transportation for every single activity, procured amazing chefs for delicious meals at the villa, stocked the fridge with all of the items we wanted and overall we just felt very safe, secure and peaceful. The amenities on the property are stunning and we recommend this property for anyone hosting a party or just in need of an amazing getaway!

Hi Casey, thank you so much for your kind words. I will definitely share your feedback with the local team and we look forward to seeing you back soon.

Amazing!!!!! The best Airbnb experience I’ve ever had

Hi Soung, we are so thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Ambré et Èpices while in Tulum. Enjoy your Summer!

Great place, great host, we will definitely be back.

5 Stars simply are not enough to rate Alain’s service for me and my group during our stay. We were a large group 13 for 3 birthday celebrations. Alain was very attentive and caring. If there was a question, he gave an answer. If there was a problem, he found a solution. Superb service all the way around!!

Good Afternoon Joseph, we are so happy and thrilled to hear that our local team and Alain took great care of you and your friends during your birthday celebration while in Tulum. Happy Birthday again from all of us at Ambré et Èpices !

Loved loved the place. It was one of the best vacations according my 7 year old nephew who loved the house. And so did we! Alain, was the best! He took care of our every need and more. Definitely coming back and recommending to everyone! Already tagged on insta 😉

Hi Natasha, we are so glad that everyone included your nephew enjoyed their stay with us while in Tulum. Yes, we look forward to welcoming you to Marrakech soon; I am sure Alain will stay in touch. Mohamed and the local team Thanks You. Pleasure being of service.

Highly recommend this villa. I hosted my husband's 50th birthday for 14 guests and we had a great time! Alain, one of the house managers, was amazing. He was so helpful and responsive prior to us coming to Tulum. He was so polite and accommodating with our needs.  The meals at the villa were amazing and so fresh.  Can't say enough of how much we loved staying here.

Hi Jasmine, thank you so much for your kind words; so happy to hear that everything went great. We are very fortunate to have a great team ensuring that our guests enjoy their stay at our Villa to the fullest. See you soon. Ambré et Èpices Tulum

Our stay at Ambre Epices was absolutely fantastic, thanks to the exceptional service provided by Alain. He effortlessly organized everything we needed – from excursions to transportation – for our bachelorette trip with 16 girls. Alain's attention to detail and local expertise ensured a seamless and unforgettable experience. For anyone planning a trip to Tulum, I highly recommend this villa and specifically requesting Alain for an unparalleled stay.

Hi Brianna, we are thrilled to hear that you and your guests had a great time at the Villa. We will definitely share your kind words to the team and Alain of course.

We stayed here for my best friends bachelorette and it was absolutely perfect. The space is incredible, looks even better in person than in the pictures, only 15 minute cab ride to the beach/main strip but within walking distance to all your local needs coffee/liquor store/restaurants/pharmacy.

Hi Mimi, we are so glad that Our Villa meet all your expectations. Come back and visit us again soon.

The villa is just beautiful! My friends and I stayed for a vacation and it was spectacular! Alain, the concierge is absolutely phenomenal, very responsive and provided us with a lot of help and guidance about how to navigate everything, as well as setting up transportation. I recommend getting some sort of transport besides taxis because it is a little far from the beach and taxis can get expensive, but we knew that when we booked. All and all we were so happy with the stay and would recommend for a big group trip!

The pleasure was all ours Kaetlin, we are thrilled to hear that you and your guests enjoyed their stay with us. We will definitely relay your kind words to the 𝐓𝐮𝐥𝐮𝐦 team. Come back and visit us again soon. Sincerely, Ambré et Èpices Tulum

Our stay here was absoultey amazing!! We were with a large group of women and it was so beyond perfect. All of the rooms are so stunning and the pool is amazing for chill hangout days. The service was also beyond. We had chefs come for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and every meal was great. The host also had a great spa service for in-home massages and facials. Everything was so clean and professional. The host was on site all the time and VERY responsive. They had a cleaning crew come in each day to give us fresh sheets and towels. It was like staying at a hotel. Only downside the entire trip was that bugs but that is not because of the house, that is anywhere you stay in Tulum so just pack bug spray!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND STAYING HERE!

Hi Madison, we are happy to hear that you and your friends enjoyed your stay with us while in a 𝐓𝐮𝐥𝐮𝐦. And yes, nature’s creatures are part of the charm of being in the Jungle. Come back and visit us again soon. The Team says HI.

Wow!! We rented this location for a photography retreat, and it was incredible. The rooms are impeccably designed and the pool is to die for! There is so much attention to detail at this place - from the design to the staff. The manager, Alain, was extremely helpful with answering all our questions and assisting with planning. Everything went perfectly at our retreat and we owe that in large part to the staff. I hope we’ll be back again in the future because this place was so amazing!

Hi Kelly, we are so thrilled to hear that all went well during your stay with us. Thank you so much for your kind words, on behalf of the entire Team we Thank You for choosing Ambré et Èpices. Sincerely, Ambré et Èpices Tulum

What an unbelievable way to spend my big birthday! We will make this a yearly destination for family, friends, and maybe a company party!! Picture perfect and an amazing host Alein!

Hi Tina, thank you so much for those kinds words; we are so happy to you enjoyed your stay with us while celebrating such a milestone. Our Team thanks you! See you soon.

This villa was AMAZING! I reserved this space for my best friends Bachelorette and it was perfect. Alain who is the concierge reached out swiftly after I confirmed my booked and literally helped me plan all the fine details for the weekend. He was open for planning meetings, detailed proposals for decor, tracking down vendors and restaurants locally in Tulum...literally you name it he assisted promptly and professionally. The villa itself is beautiful, private, and safe. You do have to remember this is Tulum and there are some places where roads are still barren so the drive can be a bit bumpy but that was the least of our concern because the staff is A1! I definitely recommend this villa for weekend group trips or anything of the like!

Dear Asia, it was an absolute pleasure having you over at the Villa; we appreciate your kind words and strive for excellence service to our guests. Come back and visit us soon.

We really enjoyed our stay in Tulum. Alain our host was great and very helpful. The villa is spacious and very comfortable. We enjoyed some nights having dinner and relaxing by the pool at the villa. Would recommend having a car as it's a little bit outside the main areas.

I stayed at this property for a women's retreat I hosted and WOW! This was by far the best and most luxurious property we've had yet. Pros: - Every single room was absolutely STUNNING and the baths were insanely beautiful - the entire property and common areas were breathtaking - loved the pools and shala which we used A LOT - Alain was the absolute BEST and we loved communicating with him. He has the best energy - The chefs were amazing! Definitely suggest using them for private events Cons: - Unfortunately there was construction next door all day everyday (except Sunday). I know there's nothing we could do about that but it was definitely distracting and a buzz kill. If you're looking for a peaceful getaway then I'd suggest asking beforehand if construction is going on! - The road to the property is also not developed yet...again not the property's fault, but something to note We still LOVED it here and can't wait to come back. Thanks again!

We had our small wedding at this Airbnb and it was perfect! Each room was spacious, clean and unique! There were tons of great areas to take photos. Alain was excellent to work with and met with us a few times before we arrived to help us plan meals for our guests. He was very attentive when we were there and worked with our wedding planner to ensure set up went smoothly the day of the wedding, truly went above and beyond. Highly recommend having at least one meal here, the chefs were excellent and the food was better than many restaurants in Tulum. We were very happy with our stay and would highly recommend to anyone!

Hi Andrea, thank you so much for your kind words; we are so happy to hear that everything went great. Can’t wait to see the pictures. Congratulations again and come back to see us soon.

Alain was a great host, responsive, attentive and gave great recommendations! Enjoyed every bit of our stay. I definitely could have used another day. Also, do your self a favor and get the taco dinner!!

The place is absolutely gorgeous! Alain was so responsive and on top of everything it made the whole process super easy. Alain also made reservations for us and was very quick to respond to issues. We had some issues with the plumbing on the bathtubs but other than that the place was perfect!

Incredible house and Alain was top notch. He helped us find great beach clubs and was ahead of the curve every step of the way.

This Tulum Airbnb exceeded all expectations, blending privacy, natural beauty, and top-notch amenities. Alain, the property manager, warmly welcomed us and effortlessly catered to our needs. 24/7 security ensured peace of mind in the unique, comfortable rooms. The private chef impressed with both vegan and non-vegan dishes. Nestled in the jungle, the property balanced seclusion and connectivity with fast Wi-Fi. Fully staffed, it offered excellent areas for yoga or ceremony amidst lush surroundings. Unforgettable experience – don't hesitate to book this captivating retreat in Tulum!

The villa worked well for hosting our families & friends, and wedding ceremony/reception. The villa was spacious and the kitchen had everything/ample room for a large party. Our concierge, Alain, was extremely helpful and responsive. Overall, the venue matched the description. I wish I had known about the construction next door, but Alain made sure it did not interfere on the actual wedding day. I should have asked ahead of time if the rooms had any drawers/dressers/cabinets, because we couldn’t really ever fully unpack without these, however there was a good hanging rod and a few hooks around the room to hang up formal wear. One thing I did not realize was that the villa has a guard who maintains the entire property that lets you in the main door, rather than a keyless entry, so sometimes we had to actually go track down the guard if he was at the other villa to let us in. The chefs cooked an amazing dinner for our wedding and we were so happy with the amount/quality.

Beautiful house! Had such a great time with group of friends. Very rarely does the place look better than the pictures. This place delivered!

Two words: book it! It's even better than the pictures. We hosted family and friends for an extended wedding weekend and hosted many meals on-site and it was absolutely perfect. We could not have asked for a better location and we kept saying over the weekend that we were so incredibly lucky to find this place. It's a hidden gem and we highly, highly recommend. Our concierge contact, Alain, was the BEST!

Beautiful property located in the midst of a tropical jungle! This place offers an unique experience. The rooms were beautifully designed, comfortable and well spaces within the house. Plenty open public areas for large group gathering and lounging. A few things to note, some areas of the property currently were not usable/under construction. The roads leading to the property are in bad shape therefore driving on them was challenging. We had Alain as our host, he was accommodating, detailed and responsive. I do recommend this place for the low season as the rent price is cheaper.

Absolutely phenomenal.. communication was way above what expected.. cleanliness and service excellent.. beauty beauty is all you seen.. I would say I absolutely loved this place the only downfall and it has nothing to do with the home would be the unpaved roads to get there, but I know it is up-and-coming, and should be resolved in no time, and again nothing to do with Airbnb.. this place and service was one of a kind. I will definitely be back. Super safe as we were party of 14. All girls trip with kids absolutely safe. This is definitely a diamond piece.

Absolutely amazing, gorgeous space, very welcoming hosts we had an unforgettable time it was very special

The space was amazing, and Alain was great - very responsive to our requests!  We had a great time

This villa was absolutely gorgeous and the space is really flexible to transform it and make it what you'd like during your stay. All the rooms were very spacious and very well kept. There was communication with the concierge and the entire team was a joy to be around. Although the location is a bit off the beaten path if you are looking to stay in the middle of the fuss of tulum, it was definitely a great get a way. Our entire group enjoyed staying here and would highly recommend. Definitely recommend hiring a transportation company or a car during your stay to be able to get around with ease.

We enjoyed our stay! We loved the space and the staff on site so much. Everyone was so nice & welcoming. We loved the aesthetic and made for some beautiful photos. A few things we wished were different: bugs in our rooms, faulty a/c & wifi, slippery floors & more of an indoor space to gather

Our stay was phenomenal. Alain was a great host and attended well to all 14 of us on a bachelorette trip. He was wonderful and the villa was beautiful, and clean.

The other reviews are right, this villa is amazing. I stayed here with 13 of my friends but had a second villa of friends and they were so great with accommodating all of us for meals and transportation. Our concierge, Alain, was so gracious and tried to make everything work for us regardless of how late I requested help. He went above and beyond to make this birthday trip one to remember. I will say the roads to get in our bumpy but if you do a day of ATVs around Tulum, the roads near the villa are kind of fun! If you are debating on staying at the villa BOOK IT!

Great place. Will definitely be coming back.

Man this place is phenomenal!! I want to stay here forever . Alain is possibly the best Airbnb host I’ve ever experienced , his service along with the team is top tier and worth every dime . You need things scheduled and reserved , he is on it . Making the stay as seamless as possible. EVERY ROOM IS AMAZING . We will absolutely stay here again … and again … and again lol drive to the beach isn’t bad at all and a trip to the centro won’t be far either putting this place in an ideal location . Method of transportation such as a bike a taxi or a rental car is ideal and recommended ! Thanks again for everything !

My colleagues had a great time. They were able to check in without me being there. They had a chef on site that made food they loved. Definitely will be going back.

The villa is completely beautiful and comfortable, the location is a bit busy, but it's worth it!! The host is very friendly and always attentive to anything we needed! The decor and atmosphere is amazing!!

La villa es completamente hermosa y cómoda, la ubicación es un poco metida, pero vale la pena!! El host muy amable y siempre atento a cualquier cosa que necesitáramos! La decoración y ambiente es increíble!!

The Ambre Hotel was a dream place. My husband and I got married here and we are so happy with how everything turned out! After reading other reviews there were a couple things we were a little concerned about (mosquitoes, construction noise, rough roads). We honestly had very minimal issues with mosquitoes and construction noise, and although the road there can definitely be rough, we were able to manage that with no issues as well. There is nothing we could really complain about. The staff here is AMAZING! They were so helpful every step of the way and took care of us so well. Anything we needed was quickly taken care of. The communication and planning was so easy and smooth, the people here are truly kind and such a pleasure to work with. The wedding day was so flawless and we did not have to stress about anything because they were so helpful with all of our requests. Also want to mention that the chef and kitchen team is seriously the best!! He was so accommodating and easy going, kind and sweet. I can not say enough nice things about the food service. They are all so hard working and we loved everything they made for us! (The Mexican barbecue dinner was probably our favorite - SO GOOD.) He also made the food for our wedding reception and it was amazing, everyone was obsessed with his talent and skills! My husband and I are so happy we found Ambre. It’s a beautiful place to stay in Tulum, and the service matches the beauty of the place. We cannot recommend them enough!! Thank you to the staff - you guys are the best!

We had a wonderful vacation here.  Alain was our host and was very responsive with questions/concerns, and was at our beck and call for anything we needed or wanted. Roads are pretty bad, but totally worth it.  Would totally recommend chefs food.  Was so good.  Taxis are outrageous here so would recommend getting your own car during the day.  The staff was very friendly and gave fresh towels and cleaned dishes everyday which is so nice to have on vacation.  Someone was constantly cleaning the pool or straightening up in the morning.  All rooms are amazing!

Fantastic experience! Communication and follow up was great. Awesome value and very clean!

This is one of the most beautiful houses I’ve ever stayed at. It has such a beautiful calming energy. It would be perfect place for a healing retreat. The food that the chef cooked for us was absolutely delicious and presentation was amazing. There is not much at all to complain about. Can’t wait to share this amazing location with my friends back home!

Alyssa you were a great guest, thank you for your review we hope to see you again !

Fabulous property and exactly what our group needed - construction noise was a bit annoying in the morning but not enough to take away from our stay

Thank you Theresa, you and your family were incredible guests.  We understand you were a bit bothered by the noise but that was just a temporary thing. We hope to welcome you again!

This place is breathtaking. Finding the building at night once you’re a little close is a little difficult but the area is still in development and there are no street signs so it’s not at their fault. The natural lighting in every room is gorgeous, every bedroom feels unique and has more than enough space for 2. The chef and staff are super friendly and take care of everything you need whether it be food or transportation or alcohol. There is around the clock security so there’s no need for worry with that as well and cameras on property. There are some other reviews of noise during the day because of construction but we had music playing for most days through the spaces surround sound and heard nothing. I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend staying here. Cannot thank them enough for the hospitality.

Thank you very much! we are super happy you had the best time at the villa, you and your group were amazing guests. We hope to see you guys again!

This hotel was everything we expected and more!  It was a very magical place and Stephane made sure that every request was taken care of.  This is a top notch boutique hotel with every attention to detail.  We would definitely recommend this beautiful place as well as stay here again ourselves.  Great job Stephane and crew!

Great spot, very nice rooms and great chef and service. We loved everything. Ana was there to help with anything we needed. However there is VERY loud construction every day starting quite early. I know this isn’t a fault of the properties but be aware there’s loud happening around.

Stephane and everyone at the hotel were so responsive, attentive, and kind! The stay was even better than the photos and our group had an amazing time. Would absolutely stay here again!

Everything was great, the staff is very friendly and helpful, we really enjoyed the stay!

Amazing spot and even better in person.  The chef services were to die for, and all of the staff were super kind and spot on.  Would def recommend and would def come back here again.  Roads are a little rough so I do recommend renting a car or having some transportation

Like other reviews had mentioned. The design is beautiful, the staff was fairly attentive. It was a bit confusing on who we should be communicating with. Upon booking it was with Stephane, then Ana and then Muhammed. The property was a bit of a pain to get to. Almost every taxi driver we had would be upset at all the potholes and condition of the road. We loved the pool. We hired the chef for dinner and breakfast. There’s construction next door and unfortunately it made sitting by the pool relaxing or being at the property during the day non existent. The construction was from about 8-5pm everyday, they’re building a huge property next door and I expect this will be for months if not all of next year.

The house was a dream! The hosts were very responsive and accommodating to all of our needs as a group even when things changed last minute. Would stay here again!

Our group of 14 really could not say anything bad at all about this amazing hotel. The communication and attention to detail by Ana and the staff was great. We had the chef cook daily breakfast which we could all agree was phenomenal. Everyday he’d ask what we’d like and put his own touches on the meals. If we could give more than five stars we would. If you want to stay at a beautifully decorated and maintained hotel while being treated like royalty this is your place. Thank you Ana! Thank you Chef Jhonatan! Thank you to security staff who would get us tacos late at night after too many drinks! We will be going back soon!

Review This property is impressive, even more gorgeous than in photos. We were blown away. Each bedroom is unique and gorgeous, and has the comfiest bed Ive ever slept in away from home. The property managers are wonderful, and we felt very taken care of. I could text Ana anytime with a question or request and she was so on the ball. We had a few brownouts, and issues with bugs, but the staff was 100% on the ball. We utilized the private chef several times, and the meals were awesome. Stunning presentation, and tasty food. It’s so nice to have a gourmet dinner with just our travel group at “home”. He was SO personable and talented… probably the best part of our trip. We ate like kings all by ourselves. Two things to be aware of that are no fault of the property itself: The road to get to the villa is ROUGH. Really rough. Like one kilometer takes 20 minutes, rough. The place is a little hard to find in the dark, but Google maps was good for us. So be aware when you’re renting a car that anything small/low riding is gonna have a hard time. We also had a huge problem with the noise. There’s construction happening around the villa that’s really loud during the day. Like, sitting on the veranda between 7 am and 6 pm is going to be accompanied by the sounds of power tools. It’s audible through the entire house, and is QUITE loud. Toward the end, we were having to raise our voices to talk, and the construction crews started playing loud music as well. Pretty much killed any plans we had of relaxing around the place, which was pretty upsetting. We probably wouldn’t have booked the property had we known about the constant soundtrack. This is obviously a limited time thing, but I thought it was worth mentioning. Altogether, this villa is an incredible place. I’m pretty well traveled, and I won’t ever do Mexico in a resort again. Tulum is fantastic and chill with fantastic restaurant and beach options, and is handily our new favorite. Personally, I don’t think you can go wrong booking this place. We’ll for sure be back with a group again next year, and are already excited. But the FIRST thing we’ll be asking is how much construction there is! Thanks to Ana, Stephane, Jhonathan, et. al who made our trip so wonderful. You’re truly gifted hosts.

A wonderful and relaxing place to get away.

Ambres et Epices is probably among the most beautiful properties I have stayed at in all of my travels. The chef is worth every peso and more. The security guards made us feel safe and that was a great feature to the property. We rented the whole space with the intention of having friends join us, but due to COVID my husband and I ended up enjoying the property alone for our stay. Communication with Stephanie was great and we felt easily prepared for our trip. Some things to be aware of: the road to the property is extremely rough and our cab had a very difficult time accessing it throughout the time we were there. We really had to plan our outings around the difficulty in access. There is nothing within a short walk, not even coffee (that we found). Unfortunately there were construction projects happening with two neighboring parcels, which worked with jackhammers from 7am to 7pm every day. These workers never took a break and the noise became so unbearable that we stayed in our room, or planned to be off the property for the majority of the day, until the evening when we could enjoy the peace and quiet we hoped for. I understand that this hotel has little control over the construction but if we had been made aware we would likely have chosen another location, especially for the price. (And it became clear that the construction in Tulum is never ending). The beauty of the property itself made this a memorable stay, and it would be a true value if occupied by enough couples to justify the price.

My overall experience was great. The service staff and chef were wonderful. The food that was prepared by the chef was amazing and much better than the food on the Tulum strip. Stephane and his staff were extremely responsive and helpful.

Great stay! Had my wedding here and absolutely loved it.

What a fantastic venue! if you are an Instagrammer and need amazing backdrops to pose in front of, there is no shortage of opportunities here. Really a fantastic work of architecture and design. I rented the entire venue for my birthday celebration and me and my friends had a fantastic time. We coordinated in advance Breakfast to be prepared every morning which a picturesque bouquet of fruits and elegantly prepared Mexican dishes. The Chef was happy to prepare whatever we requested as long as we gave him a day's notice to have the ingredients available. I'd suggest that you advise them in advance of the quantity of water bottle cases you want on hand in advance, as there is no gift shop to purchase from. The location is a bit out the way and nicely secluded in the jungle, with one resident neighbor next door. Because of this, we were asked to keep loud music down after 11:00 PM, to which we were happy to comply, as we were not looking to have a raging party there. This venue is a place of serenity and relaxation. If you want a high-energy party scene, head down to the Tulum beach area. Being in the Jungle the roads are very rough, with many potholes that have to be dodged by the drivers. There is significant construction of new hotels/ condos going up and I suspect that the road infrastructure will be upgraded soon. Take bug spray! lol, this is a prerequisite, but we didn't have too much trouble with natural non-deet natural sprays. Well airconditioned rooms and strong ceiling fans made the stay very comfortable. There was a very small safe in my bathroom, but only large enough for passports and some jewelry. It will not fit a laptop or tablet. I left many valuable electronics around all weekend with no issues. 24-hour security guards were on site to open the main door when we staggard in late-night drunk from the Tulum beach restaurants and clubs. Management was very friendly and would pop in occasionally while we were having breakfast to check on the quality of our stay, but they respected our privacy. Very nice people! Looks like their spa will be up and running soon as they have been adding onto the site and an additional wing of rooms. They said they could coordinate messages, but we never got around to it. 5 stars for the beauty of the venue 3.5 stars for the bugs/ mosquitos ... but it is in the jungle, so you know what you're signing up for. I like the natural aspect. 5 stars for the food 5 stars for staff 2 stars for the current road conditions, but that's not the hotel's fault, it's out of their control and I expect will be upgraded soon. Regardless I would book it again if the roads stayed the same. I will book again in the future! 100% loved it!

This was a great spot for our group of 16! Make sure you book Chef Jonathan for breakfast, lunch and dinner - all delicious!

This place was amazing! 12 of us stayed at this gorgeous location, with our own pool! Each room was unique and gorgeous. We all felt extremely safe, everyone was extremely helpful. If anything came up someone was there to help us right away Book the chef! Bring light coverups for night to help deter mosquitos (it is the jungle). We all hope to come back after some of their planned spa upgrades!

This villa was an absolute dream, not only are the rooms and space exactly as pictured, the staff here was also exceptional. I booked this stay for my 30th birthday with a few friends and Amil (property manager) helped us at every turn when it came to organizing our trip. He even had amazing suggestions to help enhance our Tulum experience. The Chef was also a delight and cooked us an amazing 3 course lobster dinner on our first night. I will definitely be back here in the future. Thank you!

Had a great time place was beautiful pictures don’t do it justice , roads getting there where kinda tuff but that’s anywhere in tulum

The property was absolutely gorgeous! Each room was individual and inviting. The host, Stephan and culinary staff was excellent!

This was a super beautiful and spectacular place, very clean, super attentive host and the chef took 100%. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Este fue un lugar súper hermoso y espectacular, el lugar muy limpio, host súper atentos y el chef se llevó un 100%. Me volvería a quedar sin pensarlo.

Our stay was amazing!! This place is absolutely breathtaking, the host was very friendly and made sure we were comfortable. I highly recommend getting the chef, the food was to die for. We will definitely be back.

The most magical jungle villa I’ve ever experienced. The pictures don’t do it justice it’s even better in person. Amazing amenities. Location is ideal to any city or activity you are looking to visit while you are here. Chef jhonatan truly enhanced our experience with his extraordinary culinary skills :) I highly recommend the chef services hands down.  What really makes the stay one of a kind is the exemplary customer service and customer focus that the management team has. Amil was such a huge part of making this experience seamless, he was always available to support with any questions or concerns we had. Thanks to him I didn’t have to stress the little things like ordering a car service or local questions etc. thank you Amil for all that you did. This house is definitely a must do in your lifetime :)

This place is amazingly beautiful, exactly as pictured! The communication fromthe time of booking through the stay was fantastic!Amil was so helpful coordinating meals and COVID tests. A little farther out, but if looking to spend time with group it is a great place! Highly recommend booking the chef as well. He was fantastic, nice, personable and everything was sooo tasty!

Truly phenomenal stay! My wife and I got married here on May 11th and our wedding guests stayed with us in the villa. It was hard assigning rooms because every room is truly outstanding and unique in its own right. The grounds are lovely and photographed beautifully. Most importantly, the service was outstanding. Amil, in particular, went above and beyond to make our stay magical, and we're truly grateful for him! There was one night when we had reservations at a nearby restaurant but couldn't go because the beach area was on lockdown, and Amil helped us to arrange last-minute alternate dinner arrangements. The entire staff was friendly and super attentive to our needs. This place is an absolute steal at this price, and I'd highly recommend for any special occasion or small group getaway!

This is the message you need to read to help you book this stay. Everything is amazing from when you walk in to when you walk out. The chef is amazing and him and his crew deliver the best without ever letting you miss the authentic taste of Mexico. Anything you need or want is always there without a hesitation. You are in the jungle so don’t be upset with wifi and just enjoy the moment.

They were amazing hosts! Provided information and guidance for anything we needed. Beautiful hotel! Will definitely recommend to any one I know traveling to Tulum!

This house and the hospitality exceeded our expectations! We were a group of 12 and ALL of us feel the same. The house is beautiful, the staff is friendly, the chef is AMAZING, and the beds are soooo comfy. Also, there was 24/7 security on site so we felt very safe. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you Stephane and crew for making our experience all the more special!

We had an amazing stay. Pictures cannot capture how beautiful the hotel/villa is. We stayed as 8 guest and never once did we feel overcrowded. The villa has more than enough space yet doesn’t take up too much ground space so you don’t feel isolated. Amil was always there to help us and we are so grateful to him. We travelled as a group of ladies and we felt extremely safe and welcomed. The chef... no words!!!😍

This place is awesome. One of, if not my favorite airbnb accommodation. The only thing that would make this place better is the road to get to it, but hey, that's Tulum.

The house was absolutely beautiful! Every room is beautifully decorated, and the location is so peaceful. We appreciated that there is no clear "primary" bedroom, so every guest felt pampered. We had Jonathan cook for us for two meals, and they were some of the best meals we had during our trip. 100% wish we had requested he create every meal for us. The speaker system outdoors was amazing, and really set the scene. The other house was booked while we were there, and I hope they weren't annoyed at us having the music on constantly when we were there. We had issues finding the place, as we didn't have service the day we were coming in, but the next day realized that if we had put in the name of the house, Google Maps would have taken us right there. The power went off a few times when we were there, but it didn't matter as we had plans during the day. The wifi was a little spotty, as well, but that was a blessing. Finally, BRING BUG SPRAY!!! I think this was the only real issue I had, the house being in the middle of the jungle, it was to be expected, but just make sure you have that on hand. I've never stayed at an Airbnb that I didn't want to leave as badly as this place. It's amazing...

This hotel is absolutely beautiful. I did a photoshoot while there and the pictures came out amazing. While the hotel is aesthetically pleasing and very beautiful to look at, there were a few issues we encountered. The water does not stay hot (which isn’t too big of a deal being that we are in the middle of a jungle), the sheets and towels weren’t the cleanest and they looked very old and recycled as if they are never replaced. We ordered the chef breakfast and dinner which was excellent. The food is definitely something worth trying. Also please note that this hotel is literally down a dirt road and the road is very rocky and dark at night. Also, just a reminder that the hotel is in the middle of the jungle so critters came to visit us quite often. Whenever we did have an issue with anything the host Jennifer was always there to help and tried her best to accommodate us. I will personally not stay here again, however, i wouldn’t discourage anyone to not stay here as well.

Hello Antonia, Thank you for your comment which helps us to move forward. Despite your mixed comment, you noted positive elements and we thank you for that! For the progress points that you notified, you mentioned the age of the sheets. It should be noted that it is only on your arrival that you asked us to separate all the beds to transform them into "single beds". It was obviously possible, however it is very impacting for our organization and we had to do our best to meet your request and recover our oldest sheets. We have now invested in new bed linen sets to meet this kind of demand! Regarding the road, since your stay, a whole part of this road has been paved, and we only have 200 meters of dirt road! This is great news for our future guests! Thank you again for your stay and we still hope to welcome you once again! Keep care of you. Regards.  Stephane.

Amazing place, 100% recommended! Besides from an incredible and really beautiful place, from the moment we made the booking till even after we left everyone made sure our stay was amazing!

This place is everything you see and more, I didn’t think it could possibly be so beautiful but it exceeded expectations. The chef was EXCELLENT, he accomadated everyone’s dietary needs with ease. We loved his food so much we ate a majority of our meals at Ambre. Jenni was incredibly helpful with anything we needed and held a wonderful meditative yoga class for us on the roof top one morning. The rooms were all so stunning, and all so different from one another. The responsiveness leading up to the trip was incredible and made everything flow with ease! Our group cannot wait to come back. It was so nice to be able to go to the beach then enjoy a different scenery when arriving back to Ambre.

THIS IS IT!! THIS IS YOUR SIGN TO BOOK!!! THIS IS THE PLACE!! It is everything in the pictures and more! I spent my 25th birthday here with some of my close friends and family and we had the best time of our lives. Nothing compared to this place because it was private, the accommodations were all there, the CHEF!! YOU MUST GET THE CHEF WHEN ON VACAY, the host jennifer was soo helpful with everything we needed. Jennifer is the go to woman for all your needs about tourism, shuttles, taxi's, excursions all of it!! Whatever you needed she handled. She also is an amazing yoga instructor if you want to opt to doing yoga and meditation in the mornings to kick off your day. Anyways, if you were debating this place there is no way you need to look any further... THIS IS IT!!!

Stephane’s place was as pictured and in some areas better than! Communication was great. Had a small issue with the water during our stay but the hosts were right on top of it and all was resolved in a timely manner without interrupting our stay. Water pressure and temp was great as well, no complaints there. Wifi is a bit spotty in different areas of the hotel. As mentioned in previous reviews... the hotel is definitely located off a beaten path. Kind of difficult to locate when first arriving. Apple or Google maps puts the hotel in a location it is not. Hosts did contact us before leaving the airport with directions etc but keep in mind, you may not have adequate phone service when getting closer to the place. Took advantage of the chef services that was ok. 6/10. I would consider looking into other traveling chefs if that’s what you’re looking for. Overall, we had an amazing stay and would definitely return if ever in Tulum!

This hotel/airbnb is magical! It is tucked away in the jungle but close enough to the prime downtown area in Tulum. It is perfect for large groups, especially during the pandemic. The rooms were clean with amazing bath tubs in each room. The property manager was extremely responsive and gave us great recommendations, he was also able to arrange a car for us back to Cancun airport. The private chef was exquisite, we had one breakfast and one dinner at the property and it was delicious. The only downfall is the wifi wasn't very reliable and the water in the showers was often cold, given the location in the jungle I think this is pretty normal. I would absolutely stay here again in a heartbeat!

My stay at Ambres and Epices was amazing. Each room has a special tough and uniqueness. Mohammed was great with communicating and arranging transportation for the activities my family and friends did while in Tulum. It’s def a bit in the jungle/cut and deep on a dirt road, but that adds to the tranquility of it all. The chef was great as well.

The photos do not lie, - yes, you will live in a real palace! Our group was skeptical at first, but the place was exactly as pictured - impeccably designed with exotic finishes and amazing layout for our large group. Due to the way the house is built, it never got hot. The downside is that the pool never got to our comfort temperature, but the setting it created made up for it. Please note that the roads in this part of Tulum are still being built and are hard to navigate, but we would not hesitate to rent out this place again. It's just magical!

This is a beautiful villa. The food and staff are amazing, highly recommend!

This place blew my expectations out of the water. The beautiful pictures posted on Airbnb do not do it justice in-person. I will be eagerly recommending of my family / friends to stay here while in Tulum, and this will certainly not be my last visit. Amil is also the most thoughtful host / property manager I have dealt with in all my travels. He's incredibly easy to get a hold of, speaks phenomenal English, and seamless connected us with drivers / chefs, as needed. All around amazing experience!

This place is absolutely amazing! The rooms are clean, beautiful and have AC, which was definitely appreciated. Highly recommend hiring the chef because the meals were delicious and so unique. The house manager Amil was the best host and made sure all of our requests and questions were handled. He made our stay even better! If you’re deciding which Airbnb to book, it’s definitely this one :)

This is one of the most breathtaking hotels in Tulum! The decor is styled to perfection and each room is spacious with its own unique character. The chef Jonathan, makes AMAZING food, we found little reason to leave the hotel for meals, and just let him do his thing, and Amil the hotel manager was extremely helpful with excursions and making us feel welcome and comfortable in Tulum. Don't hesitate in booking this incredible property for your stay. You won't regret it!

This place was literally even better in person. I was so pleased with my entire stay! Amil was beyond helpful & constantly on top of everything before I needed it. He truly gave us an amazing experience. The chef was beyond amazing !!! The food & presentation was probably the highlight of my stay at ambres & epices. Everyday it was something different to eat & the flavors were outstanding. If you book this air bnb please do me a favor & BOOK THE CHEF .. you will be wowed ! Over all I loved it & did not want to leave!

A unique experience at this Moroccan-style villa nestled in the middle of the jungle, not far from the center of Tulum and the beach. Very available host, very accurate photos, impeccable cleanliness, excellent equipment and magnificent pools ( one very large and a second in the middle of the patio). The plus, it was the patio that reminded us of Moroccan riads... the large bays in the suites allowed us to contemplate the stars in the evening and wake up to the sunrise light (of course, there are curtains ) Excellent place, I recommend it! ... Stéphane is a very good host. Responded very fast to all of our needs with his team of support. I definitely recommend his property and will stay again at his place on the future ... Tk you

Expérience unique dans cette villa de style Morocco-mexicain niché au milieu de la jungle, non loin du centre de Tulum et de la plage. Hôte très disponible, photos très fidèles à la réalité, propreté irréprochable, équipement top et piscines magnifiques ( une très grande et une deuxième au milieu du patio). Le plus, c est le patio qui nous a rappelé les riads marocains... les grandes baies dans les suites nous ont permis de contempler les étoiles le soir et de se réveiller à la lumière du lever du soleil ( biensûr, il ya des rideaux ) Endroit Excellent, je le recommande ! ... Stéphane is a very good host. Responded very fast to all of our needs with his team of support. I definitely recommend his property and will stay again at his place on the future ... Tk you
