4BR villa in Tulum

Beachfront villa with pool - Villas for Rent in Tulum, Quintana Roo, Mexico

This was a beautiful spot for our family vacation!! The house was perfect and we loved walking down the beach to the local restaurants. It was very convenient if we needed anything in town. The peaceful and relaxing atmosphere was so wonderful!! Mari, Anjali and Jose were amazing and Zenaida was very responsive. We will definitely make this our go to spot when we visit Tulum in the future!!!

Tres Delfines is a gem! We had 3 generations staying here and everyone felt comfortable with plenty of space to spread out. Lots of lovely deck chairs and hammocks. Great beds, plenty of towels, and the washer and dryer were such a wonderful addition for a week of playing in the water. We cooked many meals ourselves, even made chocolate chip cookies one night! Dinner and drinks at the walkable restaurant Manta Ray is great too. We happened to come when the sargassum was pretty outrageous. It's sad but out of anyone's control. We shoved a kayak through it and got to the pristine waters beyond for snorkeling. One of the air conditioners broke while we were there, spraying ice on our guests in the middle of the night. But the property manager was very responsive, called a technician, and the person who services the house daily (Mari) was able to make up the spare room and our guests moved. Mari and Jose keep the place in perfect condition!

The house is a gem! And the location is amazing. The photos do not do justice to this wonderful property. Arul was communicative and easy to work with. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils, pans etc., and, although we went out for our dinner, it would have been feasible to cook all meals at the house. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

We loved the stay at Arul's place. The bay is wonderful. The house is very nice and perfect for enjoying a family vacation. Communication with Arul was very good, as was the support of the house staff. Thank you very much for everything! We'll be happy to come back!

Nos encantó la estancia en casa de Arul. La bahía es maravillosa. La casa es muy linda y perfecta para disfrutar de vacaciones en familia. La comunicación con Arul fue muy buena, así como el apoyo del personal de la casa. Muchas gracias por todo! Con gusto volveremos!

Arul’s and his team made sure our stay was perfect!

This is a lovely private villa on a beautiful stretch of sand on Soliman Bay. The entire property is well cared-for and spotlessly clean. All of the bedrooms are spacious and comfortable. The sitting areas upstairs, downstairs, and outside create lots of space for different activities. Maria and Jose, the on-site staff, were great at their jobs, patient with our minimal Spanish, and happy to help in any way they could. The bay is perfect for kayaking on calmer days. We enjoyed walking the beach, hunting for sea glass, and reading in the hammocks. We recommend the "Good Pizza" at Mantaray just up the beach. It's good! During our stay, there was some disruption (loud music) from guests to the South. Arul & team responded appropriately to address the issue, and we appreciated their prompt and professional support. It's clear to us this was very rare for this community, so for the purpose of our ratings, we considered this issue a anomaly. We recommend Villa Tres Delfines!

Tres Delfines sits on a pristine bay, and though the shoreline has an unbroken arc of private homes, there is no sense of crowding. We (us, our two sons, two wives and one grandaughter) enjoyed a senses of privacy. The house itself is very comfortable, well maintained by its staff of two (Mari, the housekeeper and Jose (subbing for Daniel) who maintained the outdoor area). Kayaks were very useful to access the best snorkeling (though there are fish closer in as well). The host, Arul, was quick to respond to any questions. There were no surprises. All in all, a memorable week, much of which we owe to Tres Delfines.

Villa Tres Delfines is in a gorgeous private location.  The beach is within footsteps of the house.  The house was spotless and the staff is attentive and courteous.  This was one of my top vacations of all times.  I would recommend the place to people who like privacy,  and are looking for a quiet place.  You pretty much get the entire bay to yourself.  I only saw a handful of people the entire time.  I would go back to this house any day.  Thank you Arul,  Mari,  and José.

Laura, Thank you for your lovely review. Villa Tres Delfines is my family's favorite place in the whole world, and it makes us happy when guests enjoy their vacations there as much as we do.

Overall it was a great place and we would definitely come back. We had some issues with the A/C upstairs and one downstairs. We also had 2 of the 3 toilets not working when we arrived. Arul and Zenaida were great with getting them back up and going. The internet was down our entire stay, they got it up and going the very last day we were there, that was not on the owners in this instance. These things happen, no complaints, they were addressed and taken care of quickly. We had a chef and he was absolutely fantastic. His name was Vera and he would show up super early to prep, cook what we wanted to eat. Took our suggestions as well as made us the most amazing dishes from Mexico. Can’t say enough about Vera, we will use him again for sure. Overall, great experience, the house needs a few updates but no issues and would definitely stay there again without hesitation.

Douglas, Thank you for your patience with the internet and a few other issues caused by Hurricane Beryl which roared through just prior to your arrival. I am glad you and your family had a great vacation!

We had a wonderful stay at Tres Delfines! The location is amazing, right on the beach, and the kids had a great time in the pool too. Maybe the best part was the staff who attend to the house and were very friendly. We hired chef Vera and it was one of the highlights of the week with authentic local dishes. He also gave us lots of tips about activities to do with the kids and which ones to avoid. The community felt very safe with guards at the gate and what seemed to be frequent patrols. Overall highly recommend the house -we will be back!!

Thank you for our kind review. We are so happy you had a wonderful vacation! We love Chef Vera's food as well...so yummy!

Villa is really nice indeed, and looking like on the pictures. But there was one major thing that kill the whole impression.I don’t know if it’s about the season or the location, but seaweed mixed with garbage , as plastic cups, plate and forks, was floating in front of out villa all the time, which made it impossible for us to swim in the sea. The villa is great itself and pool is nice as well, but not having the ability to swim was extremely disappointing. Also, I’d say, that the host is not so carrying as he supposed to be , about his guests. Location is not the best, and there is no restaurants or supermarkets nearby. The nearest would be 20 min by car, besides one single restaurant on the beach, which was 10 min walking, but always fully booked, (even if you called in a day or two in advance). My point is, that the host knew that we are coming with kids and coming pretty late. He didn’t found a moment to warn us, so we could buy groceries on the way from the airport before arrival

Thank you for your feedback. We're happy that you found the villa to be nice & matching the pictures and description. Most of our guests really love our uniquely quiet private beach location (as described in the listing) far from the busy commercial area of Tulum, but this does mean that restaurants & stores are not very close. We're sorry this did not meet your expectations. Our information packet, shared with all guests, has information on the locations of restaurants, grocery stores and our concierge partner who can organize grocery delivery and chef service.  All email questions are also answered promptly. The floating seaweed (sargasso) is a seasonal issue for the entire Maya coast and all over the Caribbean. Our staff cleans the beach for you every day, removing the sargasso. The sargasso phenomenon and our handling is also described in detail in our info packet. We also provide kayaks for accessing the reefs, snorkeling and enjoying the bay.

We had a wonderful time at the house.  It started off with a great welcome package that had clear instructions to get to the house as well as many wonderful activity recommendations.  The house was very clean and comfortable for my family.  The house is not the modern type of vibe - it is more homey and traditional (which I like) There are gorgeous views and a beautiful private beach.  The staff at the house was pleasant and cleaned the house thoroughly each day - a real treat!  Also, when I had a few questions for the host he responded within 5 minutes and with clear and detailed responses.  I would highly recommend staying at the house and may even make this my family yearly vacation spot!

Thank you for your review & feedback! So happy you had a great vacation. It was a pleasure to communicate with you and make sure you had all your questions answered and everything you needed for a great vacation.

Stayed 8 days on January, great weather. House pictures don't show the true beauty. The bad: 1. no jacuzzi (not listed on amenities /showed on pics) 2. Not hot water, however is warm (we're group of 8, taking showers of 3 p hr. 3. No 24hr assistance, still waiting for Manager Zenaida to return my calls. 4. Water flow not the greatest, specially on kitchen. 5. Front beach Rocky (unsafe for kids or elders), need to walk 80 yards to get to a nice white sand beach. 6. Pool lights above -not inside- it's dark at night, not kids safe . 7. kitchen ware except pots, show deep severe usage , they are old. 8. no central AC,only bedrooms. The Good: 1. Amazing location 2.watch the sunrise on bed 3. Housekeeper (Maria) and gardener make you feel like home 3. Peacefully place 4. Host communication and instructions 5. Pool (daylight) it's amazing my child was beyond of happy. 6. Terrace 7. Master suite 8. Waves sound 9.Quetzal birds. 10. Kayak! 11. We saw turtles We would love to go back thank you!

Thank you for your feedback. I'm so happy that you & you family had an amazing vacation. Thank you for your patience with the plumbing issues we were experiencing. I want to update you that we have fully replaced all the pipes in the house, and the hot & cold water pressure is now amazing! I hope we will have you visit us again soon to experience it! Of course, the pool lights have been replaced as well.

We loved Tres Delphines.  We've been to Soliman Bay several years and this house is great.  Very private, clean, well appointed.  Marie and Danielle are super and keep the house in fabulous condition... helping with our every need.   It's nice to have the pool on the other side of the house.  Calming waterfall and nice break from the sun.  The beach was beautiful and Danielle did a great job keeping it looking super.  Highly recommend Tres Delphines!

Arul was super responsive. This home is in a beautiful bay & the restaurant down the beach has amazing food, service & views.

Our group of 5 had a fantastic time staying here for 6 days! We had plenty of space inside and out. The house and beach have so much to offer - swimming, kayaking, snorkeling, birding, and just relaxing with beautiful views. While we did venture out some, we spent a lot of time just taking advantage of how great the house was. The caretakers were incredibly kind and hard-working and kept the house and outdoor areas spotless throughout our stay and Arul was responsive and easy to communicate with. We’d certainly recommend staying here!

The property is in an amazing location, both the on-site staff are great… helpful, friendly, hard working and discreet. The main issue with the property is that it is old and tired. Fundamentals work ok but things like broken tiled seat/shelf in ground floor en-suite bathroom, leaves a jagged and dangerous edge that I cut my leg on. Fly screens are broken in places, and on arrival broken kitchen cupboard door. It really just needs sone TLC to go from 3 to 5 stars, and at the price should be a priority. Again amazing staff and location, so if you are ok with tired it’s great. It is a solid 20 mins drive from Tulum, but great location with amazing beachfront restaurant very close by at boutique hotel there.

Hi Graham, We had an unfortunate incident where the previous guest trashed the house: Broke all the door screens, kicked in a closet door, broke some tiles, broke a hammock. Since they checked out the same day you checked in, we were unable to get everything fixed before your arrival. I'm sorry you had to experience this. In 15+ years we've never seen anything like it and it took us by surprise. Most of our guests are amazing. We've got everything fixed now. (Most of it was fixed during your stay. I also reached out to you during your stay, but you never responded). As you can see from our many 5* reviews, the Villa is usually in perfect and spotless condition.

Wonderfully relaxing stay, extremely responsive and communicative host. Thank you for a much needed respite!

Excellent home. The staff, pool and kayaks were the highlight for us!

We had a fabulous week at Arul's home in Tulum. The location is spectacular, with palm trees right up to the beach, and the most beautiful, peaceful bay right in front with no boats beyond kayaks and incredible snorkeling. Having the pool on the opposite side of the house from the beach was a perfect so that you always had somewhere to hang out whether you were chasing the sun or hanging out in the shade. The housekeepers did a great job keeping the property spotless during our stay, and we had Arul's recommended chef cook for us which made the whole trip so easy. The road into the house is seriously bumpy and we were glad to have an SUV, but be prepared. There was some sargassum, but it varied a lot day-to-day — some days the water in front of the house was full of it, some days it was perfectly clear. Regardless, it was very easy to kayak out a few meters to go snorkeling or splash around. We'd LOVE to come back!

Incredible house and location. Best snorkeling I’ve ever seen. The house is better than the photos and is so peaceful and quiet. Take the kayaks out to the bouy to snorkel, tie off, and you enter another world of beauty and wildlife. Huge schools of fish, stingrays, turtles, and even a sleeping shark on the bottom. Absolutely perfect. We only wish we could have stayed our whole trip here!! The service was fantastic and the chef was worth the money. Tulum and cenotes are very close by so there are awesome outings too. Will 100% return.

The place was beautiful and clean  Benito the cook was wonderful loved everything he made.   Pleasant happy person.   Mari the service help was just as wonderful always smiling and helping made it feel like home  I would highly recommend staying there.   Wish I was there now.  Thank you

We've been to the bay many times over the years, but this was our first stay at Tres Delphines.  Arul is amazingly communicative and the staff at the home are fantastic.  All of us in our party would definitely stay here again. Thanks Arul!!

This is a terrific place right on the beach beautiful pool very roomy staff is very helpful and friendly

This is an intimate beautiful setting and the caretakers, Maria and Guillermo take immaculate care of it. Maria is a fantastic cook!! The home is comfortable and well cared for and the grounds are gorgeous. Communication with the owner was very good.

Great snorkeling, great sand, rocks and seaweed immediately when you step into the water. Simple but tasty food prepared by Maria, can recommend.

The house and location were great! If only it hadn’t been for the seaweed we would have stayed the full week. Please note that the acces road to the house is very bad. Thanks so much Arul, Willan and Mary for your support!

What a perfect vacation spot. The house is actually better than the photos! We took the kayaks out and snorkeled most days, and walked up the beach to the restaurant at the end of the cove for drinks and appetizers.  The location was very easy to find, close to grocery stores, cenote fun, snorkeling and fishing. The caretakers were very friendly, and Maria cooked us dinner every night, which was amazing each time! We chose something different from the menu book each day and it was hard to choose a favorite. Arul, the owner, was very easy and efficient to communicate with. The house itself was very clean and the decorations were pleasing. The beautiful pool was great to mix it up if we wanted a break from the salt water. I will absolutely be back to this paradise!

In one word: great! Unique location, quiet facing an exceptional bay to go diving PMT. A few meters away is a small luxury hotel with a beautiful beach, you can swim there quietly because in front of the house there are some pebbles. There are the famous seaweed that unfortunately can be found everywhere on Mexico's beaches! But house staff work day after day to clean your beach. In this regard, plan a few pesos when you leave for all staff (between 0 and 2%).

En un mot : formidable ! Emplacement unique, au calme face à une baie exceptionnelle pour faire de la plongée PMT. À quelques mètres de là un petit hôtel de luxe avec une très belle plage, vous pourrez vous y baigner tranquillement car en face de la maison il y a quelques galets. Il y a les fameuses algues que l’on retrouve malheureusement partout sur les plages du Mexique ! Mais le personnel de maison s’attache, jour après jour, à nettoyer votre plage. À ce sujet, prévoyez quelques pesos à votre départ pour l’ensemble du personnel (entre 0 et 2%).

Tres Delfines is located on a beautiful beach. It is very private, although beach is public and people walk past. Mainly, it is your own peaceful paradise. We had more space than was needed; a large family or even 3 couples could easily find their own space here. What set it apart from other Airbnb experiences I've had is the level of communication. Arul was so timely and always available for questions. The intro packet was more informative and thorough than a top hotel. The on-site caretakers are on-call as much/as little as requested. You have your privacy but are well cared for if any assistance is needed. We enjoyed our stay and definitely can recommend.

Beautiful property with lush gardens, and amazing views of the ocean. Clean beaches and calm water for snorkeling and kayaking. House was extremely clean, and daily service by live in staff was beyond amazing. Location to town made things easy for finding food, booze, cenotes, with ample and friendly transpiration arranged by the house staff. We had Maria cook for us each night a local dish and she did not disappoint. Next level pico de gallo. I am not kidding you can eat right out of the bowl. Close to Chamico's one of our fav local fish huts right on the beach. We can't say enough about the staff who bent over backwards daily to shop, cook, and help find great stuff for us to do. The became part of our family. And so did our driver luis. Love mexico and love the mayan people. No walls!

Beautiful place! really enjoyed our stay and I would recommend. Arul was a great host and had excellent communication. Staff/Caretakers on site were also fantastic. communication a little difficult if you don't speak or understand a little Spanish. I am sure many people have questions in regards to the construction next door. It looks like a hotel or very large home being built, but while we were there they only used hand tools and noise was at an acceptable level. In other words it did not ruin our vacation and I do not think it will ruin yours either. It is a little bit of an eye sore and yes there is noise but not enough to take away from beautiful view, house, beach and everything else the comes along with this rental. the Kayaks were great Plus too and we used them daily. Thanks!

My wife and I have been to Central America on many occasions. Aside from one time in a Costa Rican guesthouse off the beaten path, we often find ourselves in the mega resorts. Never again!  When I first saw this place on AirBnB I didn't think it was real. After actually spending the entire week there...I still can't believe it was real. The pictures do not do it justice. It is absolutely amazing!   1. The villa sits on a private bay lined with villas. You have a perfect amount of beach front and not on top of your neighbors (the plot next door is empty and just vegetation). The area is safe. The bay is protected by a barrier reef so the water is calm compared to Tulum. It is beautiful and secluded.  2. The staff (Christobal and Bere..who was subbing for Olivia) was amazing. They kept the place spotless and were not intrusive at all! We loved having them around. Bere's cooking was unreal. We took advantage of it all but 2 nights...also first time in Central America not getting sick from the food. Unbelievable perk! They don't speak fluent English but it's very easy to communicate with them. No need to speak Spanish..  3. You have everything right outside your front or backdoor. A pool perfect for a dip or just hanging out. A perfect beach for sun bathing, reading, paddle ball, hanging out, etc. Amazing water. Snorkeling around reefs that sit a hundred yards away from your beach (get there via the 3 2 person kayaks Arul provides). We went to Tulum one time and decided never to leave the house again.   4. You are 10 - 15 minutes from Tulum and a large modern grocery store (think mini-Walmart). There is no need to speak Spanish there. Navigating the grocery store is a piece of cake and has everything...super cheap too!  5. Arul is a great host. He provides tons of information and is very quick to answer questions. I was very impressed. For example, our arrival was delayed, but Arul made sure food was ready for us as we arrived. Incredible.  I really just can't say enough about this place. We hope to go back many times in the future. I think I may be the first AirBnB review. For more reviews look up Tres Delfines or Arul on Home Away.

It was great to host you and your group at the Villa Tres Delfines. Sounds like you loved our home-away-from-home as much as we did! We'd love to have you back anytime.
