Guest access Private pool and parking place inside the property for 2 regular cars Other things to note Tulum is divided into two main areas: town and beach. Out of convenience most locals live in town, which is also where most Rent In Tulum units are located. Luckily, the beach is just 5 km away, with a modern bike path and easy car access that get you there in under 10 minutes. Surrounding town you can also explore cenotes, each as stunning and unique as the next, or follow another bike path to the Tulum pyramids. For a longer excursion, take a tour south into the UNESCO protected Sian Kan Biosphere, or go north to swim in the wild turtle sanctuary of Akumal. An hour drive west will land you at Coba, the largest pyramid of the Yucatan Peninsula, and surrounding cenotes, or drive a little further to the charming colonial town of Valladolid. No matter what direction you travel in Tulum, there is more to explore and fall in love with. Please help us be environmentally responsible, and conserve energy. Electricity and water are precious and expensive resources in Mexico and we invite you to join our efforts in conservation. We have frequent electrical outages due to the high demand. Please switch off all air conditioning when leaving the house, or in rooms you are not currently occupying. Upon returning to the house, we find that just turning on the A/C for 10 minutes, followed by use of the fans, keeps the house at a great temperature. Electricity is included in your rental, but excessive use of air conditioning, especially if it is left on after you have left the house, will be charged an additional fee.

4BR villa in Tulum

4BR Luxury Villa | Sleeps 12, Large Pool&Concierge - Houses for Rent in Tulum, Quintana Roo, Mexico

The place totally matched the photos. My family and I were very happy during our stay. The beds are quite comfortable, and there are enough towels and blankets for all the guests. The kitchen is fully stocked, which made it very easy to prepare meals; it has tableware and utensils for all kinds of cooking. The bedrooms are comfortable, and the air conditioners are sufficient to cool both the bedrooms and the common area. The pool is very nice and has a perfect wading pool for young children. The water was a bit cold, but that didn't stop us from enjoying it. Although the weather wasn't the best during our stay, we still had a great time. There is only one TV, but for us, that was not a problem, as we brought our Roku and had access to all our platforms. The internet worked perfectly at all times. Communication with the host was excellent; she was always attentive. I recommend the place!

El alojamiento coincidía totalmente con las fotos. Mi familia y yo estuvimos muy contentos durante nuestra estancia. Las camas son bastante cómodas y hay suficientes toallas y cobijas para todos los huéspedes. La cocina está completamente equipada, lo que hizo muy fácil preparar alimentos; cuenta con vajilla y utensilios para todo tipo de cocina. Las habitaciones son confortables y los aires acondicionados son suficientes para enfriar tanto las habitaciones como el área común. La piscina es muy bonita y tiene un chapoteador ideal para niños pequeños. El agua estaba un poco fría, pero eso no fue impedimento para disfrutarla. Aunque no tuvimos el mejor clima durante la estancia, pudimos pasarla muy bien. Solo hay una televisión, pero para nosotros no fue problema, ya que llevamos nuestro Roku y tuvimos acceso a todas nuestras plataformas. El internet funcionó perfectamente en todo momento. La comunicación con la anfitriona fue excelente; siempre estuvo atenta, recomiendo el lugar!

Thank you so much for your visit and feedback.  We hope to see you again.

The villa was great, the pool was very nice—for guests with children, it is directly accessible from the back patio door, so it requires a bit of supervision, but for swimming, about a third of it is shallow (1 foot of water), which is really good for young children. The roads are unpaved, but you can drive along them quite easily with a standard car. Three cars could fit in the back parking area, which was perfect for us. Thanks, Claudia, for the wonderful stay!

La Villa était super, la piscine très agréable- pour les voyageurs avec enfants, elle est directement accessible de la porte patio arrière, alors ça nécessite un peu de surveillance, mais pour s’y baigner, le tiers environ est peu profond (1 pied d’eau) ce qui est vraiment bien pour les jeunes enfants. les routes sont non pavées, mais ça roule bien tranquillement avec les voitures normales. 3 autos pouvaient entrer dans le stationnement arrière, ce qui a été parfait pour nous. Merci Claudia pour le beau séjour!

Great stay in Tulum. There were 9 of us, including two small children. The villa is perfectly suited to a large family. Many restaurants and shops are within walking distance. Claudia is very responsive, friendly, and always provides great recommendations.

Superbe séjour à Tulum, nous étions 9 dont deux enfants en bas âge, la villa est parfaitement adaptée à une grande famille. Beaucoup de restaurants et commerces accessibles à pieds. Claudia est très réactive, sympathique et toujours de bonne recommandation.

Tulum's house is beautiful. Just like the pictures. The floor is amazing, the living room with the sitting area, the dining room and the open kitchen are very pleasant. The house is perfect for 10 people, very well equipped. The little extras: the swimming pool, terrace and washing machine which is very convenient. A big thank you to Claudia for hosting us and for all her advice. Everything was perfect, even if the house is a little far from the center. A car is required.

La maison de Tulum est magnifique. Exactement comme sur les photos. L’étage est incroyable, la pièce à vivre avec le coin salon, la salle à manger et la cuisine ouverte sont très agréables. La maison est parfaite pour 10 personnes, très bien équipée. Les petits plus: la piscine, la terrasse et une machine à laver ce qui est très pratique. Un grand merci à Claudia pour son accueil et tous ses conseilles. Tout était parfait, même si la maison est un peu loin du centre. Il faut obligatoirement une voiture.

Claudia was very friendly at all times, she recommended places to visit, local transport, reliable transport. You have food options about 10-15 minutes away on foot. We really enjoyed our stay ♡ thank you!

Claudia fue muy amable en todo momento, previo nos recomendó lugares por visitar locales, transporte confiable. a unos 10 -15 min caminando tienes opciones de comida. Disfrutamos mucho la estadía ♡ gracias !

This villa was perfect for our group of seven adults. Spacious, peaceful and private. I loved all of the tropical plants and trees around the property. The immediate area is fairly quiet but, with good footwear, it is possible to walk to a number of restaurants and stores. Taxis were fairly easy to arrange for further trips to the beach, the Tulum ruins, larger grocery stores, etc. Claudia is a fantastic host, very professional and responsive!

It was an incredible few days and Claudia was always very attentive and assertive with the recommendations, since we were a family with small children! Thank you for having us!

Fueron unos dias increíbles y Claudia siempre muy atenta y asertiva con las recomendaciones, siendo que eramos una familia con niños pequeños! gracias por recibirnos!

Claudia was an amazing host. She was in touch prior to our arrival with clear instructions on how to access the property as well as recommendations for places to eat and things to do. We had a couple of issues come up during our stay and Claudia dealt with them quickly. She even helped us secure a car rental when our original car booking was cancelled upon our arrival as Hertz did not have any cars available despite our booking being made months in advance. Without Claudia's support the trip would not have been as enjoyable. I would highly recommend her as a host. The house itself was exactly as pictured and had everything needed to make the stay comfortable. It is about a 10 minute walk from most restaurants and corner stores. I would recommend having a car or other mode of transport to get around as it is a 10 minute drive to larger grocery stores, town center, and the beach. As mentioned in other reviews there are some rough dirt roads in the area so be prepared for that.

Claudia and the property are outstanding. Claudia is very responsive and addresses issues the best she can. I had no issues with Claudia or the house, which I loved. We spent 2 and a 1/2 weeks here. Tulum on the other hand I would not stay in again. I prefer Playa De Carmen. Roads are very bad around the location, so unless you have an SUV you’ll will have a painful time getting in and out. I went for the Tulum beaches and it’s impossible to access a beach in Tulum easily, and if you can all have seaweed infestations. Also losing power and water happens, with no cell service, so again I would stay in Tulum for long. Also mosquitoes are a nightmare. Nothing wrong with actual property though. 5 Stars. Thanks Claudia!

Thank you very much!!! Great hosts, the house is very nice and super well kept. We'll definitely be back, because we loved it and the service was wonderful.

Muchas gracias!!! Excelentes anfitriones, la casa está muy linda y súper cuidada. Seguro volveremos, pues nos encantó y el trato fue maravilloso.

Perfect accommodation, the host was very responsive when needed. Excellent!

Logement parfait, l’hôte était très réactive lorsque l’on en a eu besoin. Excellent !

Excellent place, we had a quiet and pleasant stay, we felt right at home, the house as they publish it very clean and tidy, Claudia was always on the lookout and resolved our concerns very quickly and recommended nice places to have a good time. Over all 10/10.

Excelente lugar, pasamos una estadía tranquila y agradable, nos sentimos como en casa, la casa tal cual la publican muy limpia y ordenada, Claudia siempre estuvo al pendiente y solucionó muy rápido nuestras inquietudes y nos recomendò lugares bonitos ara pasarla bien. En general 10/10.

Excellent service and accommodation, I would definitely come back !

Excelente atención y alojamiento, sin duda regresaría !

We had a lovely stay. Check-in procedures are great, Claudia is responsive. Too bad we couldn't all eat at the same time either outside or inside. Very quiet and secure neighborhood.

Nous avons passé un très bon séjour. Les procédures d’arrivée sont très bien, Claudia est réactive. Dommage qu’on ne pouvait pas tous manger en même temps ni à l’extérieur ni à l’intérieur. Quartier très calme et très sécurisé.

Excellent accommodation, everything is just like the photos

Excelente alojamiento todo tal cual las fotos

Beautiful place and very private. Our group really enjoyed the stay here!

All our stay was very comfortable, Claudia was looking for solutions regardless of the time, thank you Claudia!!!

Todo nuestra estancia estuvo muy agusto, Claudia estuvo al pendiente y nos buscaba soluciones sin importar la hora, mil gracias Claudia!!!

Gracias Daniela por tus comentarios. Esperamos verte de nuevo.

Thank you Claudia for your advice and responsiveness throughout our stay. House suitable for our 2 families with children. Central location for surroundings in the Tulum / Playa Del Carmel / Sian Kan area.

Merci Claudia pour tes conseils et ta réactivité durant tout notre séjour. Maison adaptée à nos 2 familles avec enfants. Emplacement central pour environner dans la région de Tulum / Playa Del Carmel / Sian Kan.

Wonderful stay at 9. the host was both responsive and caring. the house was as described and our arrival was well managed despite the arrival time of our plane. the unexpected was managed very well by the host and she also helped us on our trip (vehicle rental, activity etc.) i recommend it thanks again for a wonderful stay

Magnifique séjour à 9. l'hôte à été à la fois réactif et bienveillant. la maison était conforme à la description et notre arrivé à été bien géré malgré l'heure d'arrivé de notre avion. les imprévus on été très bien géré par l'hôte et elle nous à également aidé lors de notre voyage (location de véhicule, activité etc) je recommande merci encore pour ce merveilleux séjour

Went to Tulum for my bacherlotte total 6 girls. We all enjoyed our stay. House is beautiful with a nice pool. Due to the weather there was more mosquitos than usual, but Claudia provided us Raid raidolitos for mosquitos which helped a little, but next day she had service to fumigate outside and around the pool so we can enjoy the outdoor pool area. We booked Claudia's chef for breakfast and dinner. Menu selection and Chef was amazing. Would book again!

Great villa for a family vacation. Well sized bedrooms and family area and outdoor pool. Road access to the villa is complete potholes and does need a car to access to town.

A very nice and large house. Perfect for being with a big family or friends. Everything was very clean and the kitchen had everything. Claudia always responds very quickly and kindly. She hosted us a dinner with a chef and was super rich! I can highly recommend it! Thank you so much. We had a great time!

Una casa muy bonita y grande. Perfecto para estar con una familia grande o con amigos. Todo muy limpio y la cocina tiene de todo. Claudia siempre contesta muy rápido y amable. Ella nos organizó una cena con chef y estuvo super rica! Lo puedo recomendar mucho! Muchas gracias. Pasamos súper bien!

Would stay again without hesitation, super host

Excellent experience. Claudia was extremely helpful in providing recommendations and helping coordinate rides as well. The home was perfect

Claudia’s home was perfect for our visit to Tulum. We went with another family, 4 adults and 4 kids and the house was a perfect fit. Spacious rooms, great sized kitchen and the pool was great. The house is close to everything with a car (10min max) to the central part of town. The road leading to the house is unpaved and a little rough in parts, not too bad- a sedan with not too much clearance might be a little tough. Overall we enjoyed our stay and will be back soon!

Great host nice Airbnb close to everything clean big security was great .

This Airbnb was exactly what our group was looking for. Looks exactly like the photos and is very spacious. Claudia does a great job of making recommendations and being responsive and there are good restaurants within walking distance of the Airbnb. You'll need a 15 - 20 minute drive to get the beaches, but if you don't mind that, this is an amazing place to stay in Tulum.

Claudia’s place was comfortable and having the washer/dryer made it so convenient. Pool was cold but not too bad. Beds were comfortable.

Everything is very good, Clau's attention and follow-up. Sometimes we had to surround blocks by the work around and some streets were ugly (I know it's not up to the owners of the place). But Clau was always attentive to what we needed.

Todo muy bien, la atención y seguimiento de Clau. A veces teníamos que rodear cuadras por los trabajos al rededor y algunas calles estaban feas (se que no depende de los dueños del alojamiento). Pero Clau siempre estuvo atenta a lo que necesitáramos.

The house is very nice, just like in the photos, it was 11 people and we were comfortable with the very comfortable beds. We would come back with no problem.

La casa es muy bonita tal cual como en fotos, tiene buena ubicación, fuimos 11 personas y estuvimos a gusto las camas muy cómodas volveríamos a venir sin problema

The second time staying there, I love the architecture, the house is very well equipped, with everything you need. Cozy and spacious. Excellent option to go with family or friends, I recommend renting a large car or van.

Es la segunda vez que me quedo ahí, me encanta la arquitectura, la casa muy bien equipada, con todo lo necesario. Acogedora y espaciosa. Excelente opción para ir con familia o amigos, recomiendo rentar auto grande o camioneta.

Electricity went out on day one of our trip so we had no electricity or phone service to contact a ride or get bikes. We also had a difficult time locating our Airbnb as none of the homes have address on them & there are 0 street signs. There is more than just some construction, there are no paved roads, the roads are full of large pot holes & there is trash everywhere. The host was very responsive but hard to reach b/c even w/ Wi-Fi our service was terrible. The airbnb itself is clean & we were provided lots of resources & information it was just very hard to use. The airbnb was very clean but and we liked that there were tv’s in all the rooms & dish ware.

Hola Megan. El servicio de luz no fue problema de la casa si no se toda la zona en general. Un problema de servicio eléctrico generalizado. Te mande la ubicación de la casa desde antes del día de tu llegada y te expliqué que en Tulum las direcciones como calles y números aún no existen. Por eso te envié la ubicación y en cuanto te comunicaste estuve receptiva a ayudarte. Nuca contestaste después mis msjs acerca si necesitabas algo más pues me comentaste que tu novio es quien se quedaría en la casa. Tu novio jamás se comunico conmigo tampoco. Si la zona está en construcción como muchas zonas de Tulum y está escrito en la descripción. Muchas gracias por tus comentarios y esperemos que en tu próxima visita Tulum tenga mejor infraestructura en calles.

everything was great about Claudia and the place was beautiful but on the reviews its said that the place was 5 minutes away from the beach but its not true its more like 25 minutes away no complains everything good.

Hola Abner. Gracias por tus comentarios solo quería aclarar que la descripción no dice 5 min de la playa. Actualmente y con las nuevas caminos a la playa puedes llegar en 15 min pero no especificamos el tiempo porque depende de muchos factores como el tráfico y la hora que vayas a esa zona.

Claudia was an excellent host!  We let her know about a slight leak in the sink and she sent someone over within the hour!  Everything was clean, comfortable, and the AC was perfect!  We would definitely stay again!

The Airbnb was amazing!! Denise was sooo helpful with booking everything especially transportation! Santiago the driver she recommended was also very helpful! Would highly recommend!!

Claudia’s place was exactly what our group of 10 needed for a bachelorette. The home looks exactly like the pictures. Claudia was very helpful throughout the entire process. The home is in an area that is being developed; however, Claudia goes above and beyond to ensure that you have everything you need, makes suggestions, connects you with the right people and is SUPER responsive and helpful. The location is about a 10-15 min ride to the main strip. Thanks for everything Claudia!

place was very spacious and comfortable,  close to everything and very private. Claudia was always very responsive and suggested very good places.

This house was honestly amazing. From evenly spaced rooms to the outdoor mini oasis, this house was a perfect stay. We went with a group of 11 and it had us engaged with each other the entire time. Not only that, but any slight inconvenience or question we needed, the host replied within minutes. She also offered a transportation service that took us anywhere we wanted to go round trip. Although we realized that the downtown strip was only a 20-30 min walk from our place so some nights, we preferred to walk through the jungle to experience more of the culture. On top of all that, the place also had functioning hot water which allowed all 11 of us to shower comfortably. Overall, it was one of the best airbnbs I’ve stayed at and if I’m lucky enough to come back to tulum, I would definitely book this place again!

As other reviews state, the roads and construction in the area make it a bit rough for about the last five minutes getting to the house, BUT noise was never an issue and Claudia makes up for any road inconveniences by being such an amazing host. She provided direct contact information for transportation for the entire weekend as well as suggestions for the in-home chef (amazing food and pricing, we scheduled twice), decorations, and some other activities. The house and linens were clean and very comfortable. Tons of beds for everyone to sleep comfortable as well. The pool was also a highlight, we enjoyed the deep end and shallow side. Thank you, Claudia!

I stayed a week in this house. She is very comfortable, spacious! Claudia is a spectacular host with great tips and easy communication. The house is not difficult to find because Claudia sends the address with the location. In the meantime, the house is in a place that doesn't have asphalt. It didn't bring us any trouble, but it's a good thing to know. The location is good, close to the center of Tulum, close to the beach and several cenotes.

Fiquei uma semana nesta casa. Ela é muito confortável, espaçosa! A Claudia é uma host espetacular, com excelentes dicas e de fácil comunicação. A casa não é difícil de encontrar porque a Claudia envia o endereço com a localização. Entretanto, a casa fica num local que não tem asfalto. Não nos trouxe qualquer problema, mas é algo bom de saber. A localização é boa, próxima ao centro de Tulum, próximo à praia e diversos cenotes.

The host was amazing , the place was amazing , looks just like the pictures very peaceful area , only down side transportation very expensive from this location other than that 10/10 recommend this home.

Claudia was a great host - her recommendations were excellent, and when we raised issues with her, she was super responsive.

This was a beautiful home for our Mexico getaway! I would highly recommend although, just as a fair warning, it can be hard to find off the beaten path so try to print directions beforehand :)

Great house and location definitely a super host she set us up with transportation and the house was amazing very spacious we loved it

The best experience I ever had with an Airbnb. The villa was absolutely stunning, Claudia was super responsive and fast, she made sure we had everything we needed before arrival and recommendations for us when we asked her. The villa is located in an area under construction with bumpy roads but it never felt unsafe. We had Roberto as our driver and he was super reliable, he was there for us whenever we contacted him so please ask for his number from Claudia for the best car service. Thank you Claudia and hope to come back sometime soon!

Claudia, the Airbnb host, was extremely accommodating from the moment I booked my stay until I arrived at the airport for my departure. She provided multiple references and resources that made planning smooth. Every question I had, she answered. Communication was clear & timely. I really appreciated that. Coordinating with her was a very pleasant experience. The Airbnb was as expected per the photos: Beautiful & Spacious. But there were a few hiccups during our stay… The water temperature was lukewarm at most the entire stay, we didn’t have running water for a few hours (which Claudia remedied by sending a plumber) and we lost access to Wi-Fi for a day due to a power outage (out of everyone’s control). Because the location of the Airbnb is remote and in an underdeveloped location, cell phone service was non-existent without Wi-Fi. The route to the Airbnb has unpaved roads with no street signs and construction, so it was difficult to navigate if you don’t know the area. But the drivers Claudia provided knew their way very well. The remote location also makes it difficult to get to any destination by foot or bike due to pot holes in the ground & distance from the city/main strip of Tulum. I also want to note that I’d done my research on Tulum so I expected to see bugs everywhere & I did. It didn’t alarm me but it’s worth mentioning because they will find away into the house. Just some things to note, to ensure you’re happy with your choice to stay. Overall my stay was enjoyable & I’m glad I chose to stay at Claudia’s place. It’s a beautiful, spacious home, & Claudia made the experience a good one! Lots of great memories made here with my friends.

The property was exactly as shown in the listing photos and very comfortably fit our group of 9. The host, Claudia, was a great communicator and responded extremely fast. She set up a boat trip for us and transportation when needed. The location was not bad - about a 10 minute scooter ride to downtown Tulum and the area was pretty undeveloped with a lot of construction going on. Overall we would definitely come back and stay here again!

The house was great. Definitely better than the pictures. Claudia was so accessible, she offered assistance in anything we needed. We did have some struggle with the hot water in the top rooms, but I made the mistake of not informing Claudia sooner. The area does have a lot of construction but it wasn’t as loud as expected. DEFINITELY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND getting a rental. Taxi was ridiculous!  It costed us $80 American Dollars for a round trip that took less 15mins for 3 people.

We had a great stay at the Airbnb! We were a group of 12 and there was plenty of room for everyone. The house and the outside area/pool are great to hang out at. I highly recommend buying bug spray if you plan on sitting outside by the pool at night. Claudia was an excellent host and was always very easy to get a hold of. She helped arrange an in-home chef (which was delicious, highly recommend the fish options) and private transportation for the group. The house is probably a 20 min ride from the beach since the roads aren't great but we honestly didn't mind having to take transportation to/from the beach or town at all. All you need is a good playlist and you're good to go. The house was a bit difficult to find but Claudia dropped a pin for us and after that we were good. Overall, we had a great stay at Claudia's and were sad to leave.

Villa Gallo is simply beautiful! The house is gorgeous and makes for a perfect relaxing getaway. The only downside is the construction, but this is because the area is up and coming and constantly being worked on. Claudia is an exceptional host as she anticipated our needs providing information for ordering food, taxi services, and coordinated our COVID tests and transportation to and from the Cancun airport.

This might be the BEST host I have ever had. Claudia was amazing. She helped me organize almost every aspect of our trip. She helped me organize our yachting excursion, our at home Covid testing, and all of the transportation to and from the airport, the boats and other activities. She went above and beyond. She went shopping for us ahead of time, bought everything on our list, and was always available when I needed her or had a question. The house is also beautiful. It was perfect. The pool was clean, the house was clean and everything you needed was there. Notes for the area and what to expect. The house is in an area that is fairly new and safe. There were some challenges though. There is no store within about 2 miles. So if you need to shop you need to do it while in town. The roads are rough and it takes about 20 minutes, one way, by taxi, to get to the main beach areas of TULUM. Either having a rental car or setting up private transportation, daily would be the best thing. We paid for taxis a lot and spent a ton of money on taxis, but we also had a group of ten people. So it was harder to travel with 10. I would come back to this place a thousand times. Thank you Claudia!

Claudia was an excellent host with great timely  communication. I would definitely stay with her again. The house looks exactly like the pictures and was more than enough room for my party of 8.

The house itself and the host Claudia are both wonderful. But I cannot give this a high review given the experience of WHERE the house is located; I cannot recommend folks to rent this house, as I would not choose it again based on its location. For reference, our group was 9 people, all in our early-mid 30s, and 6 of the 9 are former Peace Corps Volunteers who have lived for 2+ years in rural Africa, Central America, and Central Asia (think no running water, y'all) - so we know how to rough it and are not squeamish travelers in the slightest 1. House: Even more beautiful than photos. It was large, comfortable, and clean. Great for a large group like ours! 9 people. 2. Host: Claudia was incredible; super responsive, extremely helpful, arranged so much for us. 5 stars for Claudia! 3. Location: I cannot recommend this house based on location. It is in an "up and coming" part of Tulum in La Veleta neighborhood. When I say up and coming, I mean, literally an extremely rough and bumpy dirt road where my rental car bottomed out multiple times. There is no street lighting and many construction workers staying in the half built places at night, so my friends and I did not feel comfortable walking around at night. Even if we did, it is so far out from the more "hot spots" of town. I think this area will be better in a couple years when the infrastructure catches up with the new villas being built; otherwise, I recommend staying elsewhere - you will save money on taxis. 5. A note on taxis: there are no Ubers in Tulum, so we relied on Claudia to call us taxis. She was very responsive. and helpful. However, a taxi for 4 people was $30 USD one-way to the beach and $15-20 USD each time to go 1-2 miles into town, which is more than what an Uber costs in Washington DC (where I live). When reading online, it said something like $5 USD... that was not true. This is less a note about the house, and more a note about what to expect realistically to spend in Tulum as a heads up to others. So keep this in mind when selecting your Airbnb as being able to walk to the store, coffee shops, restaurants, bars will really make a difference, especially with a large group like mine!

Claudia went above and beyond for me! I booked this stay for a group of 6 other girls for my sister’s bachelorette party and it couldn’t have been more amazing! The house was more beautiful than the photos. She helped me plan absolutely everything as well as book private transportation and a private chef. Upon our arrival we walked in as the chef was preparing our welcome meal which was soooo good and she even stayed to clean up after with the dishes and putting all the leftovers away. Booking private transportation was important for us as we were a group of all girls we wanted to be as safe as possible and didn’t want to deal with taxis especially at night. Our driver was always on time and stayed around waiting to pick us up from wherever we were. Claudia was also just a text or phone call away from when we needed anything or had any questions. She even helped us book an at-home covid test service to get us on our flight back home. I would highly recommend this stay or another stay with Claudia!!

This house was phenomenal! Bigger and nicer then the pictures look. Kitchen had plenty of cooking utensils, washer and dryer worker great, rooms spacious. The negatives were that this house is a little hard to find on Waze. The area is under construction and VERY noisey. 7am the jack hammers start and late night parties ment no good sleep. I would still rent again but would be better prepared with ear plugs.

Loved the space and design. The patio area is super nice. Walking distance to a few really good restaurants.

Amazing home with an exceptional host. Claudia knows exactly how to maximize your stay in Tulum. She is very helpful setting up any and all amenities. Taco Bish, La Taquiera, and Calypso are awesome restaurants for breakfast lunch and dinner and are only a 10 minute walk away. Only downside was the construction noise throughout the day.

This was by far the best stay I have ever had. I booked it for my Bachelorette party and there was 6 of us. Everything was booked with the help of Claudia. She reached out to all the private chefs and excursion agencies and covid testing for our return trip. Everything was so well organized and taken care of. Claudia is a phenomenal host and I would recommend anyone looking to stay in Tulum check out her beautiful home.

Claudias place was wonderful! We had 8 guests in our stay and there was plenty of room plus more. She’s the best. Getting taxis were tough in town but she helped us out so much with arranging transportation for the whole trip, getting covid tests set up for us, and the breakfast was great! Pictures don’t do it justice, would love to stay here or at one of her other properties again.

Very nice house but you’re going to need some sort of transportation to get around. Bugs do come in to the house but otherwise nothing crazy! Loved the beautiful decor of the house and the backyard. Claudia is great as a host! She helped plan rides with Ramon the driver, set up our Covid tests and even in home massages!

Best stay thus far in Mexico! Pictures don’t do this beautiful place justice! Claudia was awesome, checked in daily to make sure our stay was perfect! Do yourself a favor and book this ASAP!!!

Claudia is a great host.  The place is very nice and clean.  We felt safe during our stay.  The pool was clean no issues.  When ever we needed anything responded quickly.  The hot water was not working one night but was fixed the very next day.  With nine women we needed the hot water.  Claudia hooked us up with a chief to prepare dinner for us on evening of our arrival.  Dinner was    delicious. The place is not easy to find but a couple of times out we figured it out.  Claudia even met up with us to take us directly to her place.  I was so glad we rented two cars that was able to be locked up.  I can’t image the cost of a taxi coming everyday.  There is construction going on because they are building up that area.  However the noise level was low.  The ladies overall rating was a 9 out of 10 because of the over night hot water issue that was resolved the very next morning. The place is a must stay❤️  Thanks again Claudia!

Great host!! We were able to find this place last minute & Claudia went above and beyond to make sure we had what we needed. Communication with her was quick & efficient(: the location is a bit difficult to find but Claudia makes it so easy for us to navigate around! Make sure you download What’s App to get a pin of the location. She’ll help you with private chef, shuttle, Covid test & groceries if needed!

Claudia’s place is great! It was very nice and had everything our group needed and wanted. Claudia was very helpful in arranging chef services, transportation, and anything else we needed. There is a little noise from the construction—expected as Tulum grows—but just have earplugs/AirPods and you’ll be fine. Would definitely recommend it and I would definitely book again.

Beautiful house and even better host. Claudia will go out of her way to make sure that everything is good and you have great stay. The rooms are clean and spacious. Each one of them with a shower/restroom access. My family of 12 had no problem staying in this lovely home. The area is in development so the road will be a little bit bumpy for about 7 street blocks. This was a deal breaker for us. In home Chef is great, highly recommend. Overall great experience

A few girlfriends and I went to Tulum for a celebratory trip. We very much enjoyed our stay at Casa Luz. Claudia, you were an INCREDIBLE host. She went out of her way to arrange transportation, chefs to come to the house and COVID-19 tests. The chefs were fantastic and we would highly recommend getting them for your stay. Additionally, the COVID testing was simple and convenient. We also had transportation set up for each day with Ramone who was great and very accommodating. Overall, I would highly recommend Claudia and her place, both of which exceeded our expectations! Tulum is beautiful and our stay at the house was perfect.

Claudia was a great host and assisted with coordinating food delivery, a chef, private massages,and a driver. The house is about 25-30 minutes from the hotel zone where all the popular restaurants and beach clubs are and the can ride is pretty pricey. It’s an up and coming area but it was safe for the most part. Ramon was our driver and was great. Sophia coordinated a welcome brunch which was not worth the $500 she charged, we were very disappointed. She put balloons on the wall, appetizers (which were very good) and one drink, and a cake... not worth $500 at all... and didn’t clean up after herself in the kitchen either. Now the chef, was amazinggggg, I wish we had used her for our welcome brunch. She did such a great job and the food was great. The private massages were also great, all the therapist were very nice and definitely got my girls & I relaxed before heading back home. It was a group of 9 of us and we had plenty of space and enjoyed our stay. The only thing to note is the shower in the master bedroom is a bit tricky as it can leak out instead of going down the drain. Other than that, we had a great time & Claudia was an amazing host and was very responsive. Would definitely recommend this place but consider the distance from the things you may want to do when booking.

Claudia was an amazing host! Anything my group or I needed/wanted to do she was there to assist and it made the trip even better! She has a wealth of knowledge about local attractions and a network of excursions and contacts to aid your trip fun! Not to mention the house is gorgeous and full of fun.

Giving 5 stars first of all because I completely appreciated all of our host Claudia’s help with transportation, suggestions / tips, for being so responsive & understanding knowing I had a lot on my plate during this trip. The house was great, but I appreciate you’re kindness and help more then anything else. Beautiful home. We loved it and it was perfect fit for 5 of us, I’d say great too for about 7 people. House was a little difficult for taxi’s to find, so for new guests definitely download WhatsApp and use location to share with driver for no issues! :)

I will first begin with the highlight of this airbnb and then the thorns of this airbnb. 1. The interior space and design is super modern and classy. Loved the room with the bunkbeds because it felt like a sleepover. The bunkbed room is connected with a shared bathroom with another room. None of us slept in the master on the first level because there were many bugs, including a scorpion. The overall vibe of the place was cute, swimming pool was smaller than we expected. 2. You need to get an app to communicate with the host. We did not get the key code to open the gate, so we were standing outside the blazing sun trying to get service for 20 minutes. The host only provided wifi info, where to find extra keys (that we never found), and tips on how to get driver to get to the airbnb. Thankfully we had another friend landing after us who was able to obtain the key code and we were able to get in. So make sure you ask for the code before. 3. ADDRESS: The address is also invalid in all maps (google, Waze, apple). It is advertised as 'Casa Luz' which are private penthouse estates in a gated community. This airbnb is NOT in that area. There is a lot of heavy construction (workers can peak at the pool area during the day of work), the roads are incredibly bumpy, and it is a lot more inland into an area that is still developing. As such, the address is not picked up by anyone which leads you to have total dependency on the host (if you are going out). The rates to get trip to the airport, excursions, etc that she gives is 3-4x what you can get yourself. However, what can the guests do? It's basically impossible to have anyone find your place? Thankfully our group had 3 spanish speakers so the ladies made it work- bargained price with the driver the host provided and worked out an 'all day' price. But my thoughts were wow.. how could I have been so wrong about this place (in that regard). 4. WATER: The water in the place comes out in small spurts and the hot water goes away fast! So that was scary/inconvenient. We joked that it was possessed. 5. OVERALL: If you are looking for an airbnb to stay inside the entire trip, this is it! It has everything you need. If you are looking to go out and about, I would say book with caution. If you also don't care about budget and want to spend money for convenience, you will enjoy this airbnb. **For example, I had 7 girls and was quoted $180 pp for RT airport to airbnb by the host. I was able to book a shuttle for $55 pp through Cancun Shuttle for RT to get to airbnb and back to the airport. For the trip back to the airport, I rebooked it using the address of a hotel right next to the airbnb (Heaven Lagoon Tulum) and the driver was able to locate us no problem.

Claudia was a great host. Very quick responses and she was able to take care of everything we needed prior to arrival and during our stay. Would definitely book again!!

I booked this home for my bachelorette with 7 other girls. The house was big, beautiful, secure, and had everything we needed. I cannot say enough about Claudia! She has helped us in countless ways since the moment we made our reservation. We knew we were going to be in and out of the hotel zone everyday and needed a trusted chofer for our 5 day stay. Claudia helped us hire Ramon who was professional, punctual, responsive, and attentive. He knows the area very well and even stopped to get us beers and water when we ran out. Additionally Claudia helped us find a place to get our COVID tests and even schedule our appointment and our ride with Ramon so that we were there on time. I must say this was what we were worried  about the most. We were terrified to screw this up and risk getting stuck in Mexico but she did amazing. We were in and out if the testing facility and had the results to our email within an hour and it was a breeze at the airport. Ramon even waited for us and took us to the beach after. The house had great internet service and everything we could need. If we did need anything else Claudia always responded almost instantly and we never had to wait for anything. For example we needed more tp, paper towels, towels, ice and she had them to us within minutes an hour or less. She helped order food for delivery upon our arrival and we also set up a private dinner at the home which we spectacular. The chefs were so sweet and everything they made was delicious. They cleaned and washed all the dishes and even wrapped the left overs. They even handed us the grocery bill so we knew what we were paying for. The only minor things that are completely not in their control is that the house is located in a very undeveloped area. It takes about 15 minutes on a very bumpy dirt road to get in and out of the neighborhood. There is also lots of construction going on everyday. So you will hear the hammering and drilling starting at 7am. Again this eventually will get completely built up and the roads will be paved. But it was quite annoying especially if you get car sick or had a long day of partying. Like we did haha. It’s also hard to find but if you follow the Waze app it takes you exactly to the house and Claudia sends pictures of the house and every detail needed to get there and get in and out of the house. The AC in each room must be on some kind of timer. Takes a bit of learning to get it just right because it gets cold at mighty. But it works well so that’s good. The blankets are light which are great if you are a hot sleeper but if you do need more blankets Claudia is able to to get you more very quickly. Again I find that this was an amazing choice for a great price but what made it the best  was Claudia and everything she did for us. Thank you so much!

The house was beautiful and Clau was super helpful! The only complaint would be the location, it’s a little tricky getting to so make sure you have a working phone with WAZE gps! Other then that, we really enjoyed it.

We loved loved the house. Claudia, Denise, Jessica and Aide , thank you all for contributing to the amazing stay. We used the chef service and loved it and Claudia helped us set up all of our excursions. Our flight also got cancelled due to a snow storm and they were so accommodating. Highly recommend. Only thing I would change is for the house to have extra sheets and comforters, it can get pretty chilly inside. Thank you guys again for an amazing stay.

Amazing time make the best of ur vacation beautiful place to stay!!!!!!!

Claudia, the host, was extremely helpful in every type of way. She would respond to questions immediately and always made herself available to provide tips and suggestions.

Claudia's attention has been impeccable, always attentive and attentive to any need on our part. The property is very comfortable, photographs are not misleading, they are exactly what you will find. I would certainly would highly recommend it.

La atención por parte de Claudia ha sido impecable, siempre atenta y pendientes de cualquier necesidad por parte nuestra. La propiedad es muy cómoda, las fotografías no engañan, son precisamente lo que encontraras. Lo recomiendo ampliamente sin duda alguna.

This place was perfect for our vacation. The pool and outdoor cabana were great for cocktails in the evenings. There is a great market within walking distance as well as a coffee shop. A bit hard to find at first but love how tucked away in the jungle it is.

Claudia was amazing amazing host for our stay in Tulum! Once we found the house we were greeted by the lovely Sol of Encanto Cantino (great place to eat!) and her colleague Lalo. They prepared us an amazing dinner which was much welcomed after our long journey. We ended up using them for all of our catered meals in the house after booking through Claudia. She was also able to assist us with booking our excursions and was extremely flexible with us as we planned based on weather. Claudia responded quickly and was an amazing source of recommendations. 10/10 would stay here again!

The house is very nice and the layout of the spaces is incredible

Está muy bonita la casa y la distribución de los espacios está increíble

Beautiful, cozy house with excellent services, the host was attentive and kind at all times,  100% recommended

Casa hermosa, acogedora,  con excelentes servicios, la anfitriona atenta y amable en todo momento,  100% recomendada

As it appears in the photos Very practical and comfortable 😜

Tal cual aparece en las fotos Muy practica y cómoda mi estancia 😜

A little hard to find but very easy to learn the roads once you get back there. It’s in a good location near downtown Tulum, but if you want to go to the beach I suggest you drive. Clean and nice home overall. They’re great hosts and an awesome place to relax. I would stay there again.

Very good accommodation, excellent for groups, very comfortable and harmonious house, yes, I would stay here again

Muy buen alojamiento excelente para grupos, muy cómoda y armónica la casa, si volvería a quedarme

Everything was great, the house was very nice, and Claudia was very attentive. The only thing is, there wasn't much signal.

Todo estuvo muy bien, la casa muy bonita, y Claudia muy atenta. Lo único es que no había mucha señal.

Beautiful home that everyone enjoyed for our entire stay. Its is somewhat off the main road so I recommend getting a rental car or bicycles. Enjoyed that there weren’t many neighbors and we could spend our nights listening to music and enjoying each other’s company. Host was very responsive with anything that came up, provided us with many suggestions for food and things to do and helped make our trip easy.

Outstanding hospitality and was very quick to respond with any issues. House was tucked away from town and hard to locate. Expensive taxis to get to beach area. Overall the house was very clean, comfortable, and fun atmosphere.

I really hate that I have to give this house one star but after the house was robbed I really had no choice. I’ll start with the positive: 1) the house was very much like the pictures. 2) Claudia was very attentive and easy to get in touch with. 3) the house is a short drive to shops and dining. The bad: 1) the house is located on a VERY UNSAFE road with enormous potholes and construction all around! It’s very difficult to drive the last mile up to the house. 2) when we checked in we noticed yellow stains on one of the bedsheets and on several pillows. Claudia immediately had the house keeper come change the sheets and she went out and purchased us 4 brand new pillows! 3) the water did NOT stay hot and smelled funny, kind of like sulfur. I didn’t complain about this because I figured the plumbing issue was probably not unique to this house. Just be aware that you probably won’t get to take a nice warm and relaxing shower while you’re there! 4) ***now for the icing on the cake*** WE WERE ROBBED! On the third day of our stay (my birthday) we decided to go visit the lagoon. We left the house at 10AM. Right as we were leaving, Claudia messaged me to let me know that the pool guy was coming by to check on the pool. I didn’t like the idea of someone being in our house while we weren’t there, but I couldn’t message her back because I no longer had service. We returned to the house around 2PM and when I walked upstairs I immediately saw that all of our luggages had been completely ransacked! A MacBook, several AirPods, beats headphones, shoes, jewelry, cash, luggage—were some of the items that were STOLEN! It totaled to about $4,500 worth of belongings! We immediately contacted Claudia and she said she would be there right away with the police. Her husband was the first to arrive. He mentioned to another guest that he stopped by the house at 10:30 while we were gone (that did NOT sit well with me either). Claudia eventually arrived with the police. The police didn’t seem to care, but nonetheless, they wrote down a list of the items stolen and Claudia translated for us and apologized profusely. Ultimately, nothing was done other than the host refunded us for the last night because we left early to stay in a hotel. The host himself never apologized and I had to contact Airbnb to try to file a claim or recoup some of what was lost. I should also mention that there was no sign of a break in. No broken glass or busted door frames. The house is surrounded by a 7-8 foot wall with three layers of electrical wiring on top. We are 100% sure we locked both front doors and the garage door. It’s possible that someone somehow climbed over it and entered from upstairs, but I don’t know how. I don’t like the fact that apparently two people were in the house while we were gone (the pool guy and Claudia’s husband). I’m not saying it was one of them, but what I do know is that if I ever go back to Tulum I will be staying in a hotel! The house offers a false sense of security. The neighborhood seems nice because of the houses, but should you choose to stay here, do so WITH CAUTION!

This place is amazing! Don't look no more, this is it. This place is perfect for large families. The pool is amazing the beds are super comportable, and the house has everything you need. It is secluded and quiet but at the same time not too far from town. Claudia was super attentive since day one and always helpful. We will definitively come back!

The house is better than how it looks in photos. It's actually very comfortable. The only drawback is that it is a little difficult to find the house, there is no cell phone signal in that area or mobile internet due to the location and the streets are not paved, the advantage that we arrive in a suburb, however the small cars do struggle. Outside of that little detail, we had an excellent time and I would definitely stay at this house again.

La casa está mejor que como se ve en las fotos. En realidad está muy cómoda y todo muy limpio. El único inconveniente es que esta un poco dificil de encontrar la casa, no hay señal de celular en esa area ni de internet movil por cuestion de la ubicacion y las calles no estan pavimentadas, la ventaja que nosotros llegamos en una suburban, sin embargo los carros chicos sí batallan. Fuera de ese pequeño detalle, la pasamos excelente y sin duda alguna regresaría a hospedarme en esta casa.

Claudia is possibly the best host I have ever had the pleasure of encountering. Very quick to respond, very helpful with local tips & food delivery services. I will absolutely be returning to stay at one of her homes.

Excellent! I love being there, we had a nice weekend. Easy and fast communication. Nice and clean house. Thank you so much

Excelente! Me encanto estar ahí passamos un lindo fin de semana. Fácil y rápida comunicación. Casa linda y limpia. Muchas gracias

So thankful and grateful with our host. She was so attentive. Replied to all of our questions super fast and helped us trough our stay in tulum. She helped us find beautiful places and even order food for us!! Now the house! Very clean, the bunk beds were great! The kids absolutely loved them and the pool of course ( also great for smaller kids) The big open doors makes you take in all the beauty tulum has to offer. Another * is the showers! Definitely will be staying here again.

The house was everything you see in photos and more. It was perfect for our group of 8 people. Communication was quick and they were extremely patient with my lack of cell service while in Mexico. A few things, such as the wifi, didn’t work for a bit but as soon as they were notified them came in ASAP to fix anything! They made my trip easier by booking a private boat for my group...what an amazing experience. I will be staying there again! 10/10 value!

We loved our stay! We were a group of couples with one toddler. The house exceeded all of our expectations. The pool was lovely. Our daughter (almost 2) loved the shallow end. The kitchen had everything you would need to make meals. Some of the couples rented bikes to get around. We walked/ and took cabs. There was a local taco stand down the road, pizza place, and lots of other amenities 10 minutes away. To catch a cab you can call for one or walk down the road. We even walked to the Main Street in tulum (with a sleeping toddler in our arms). Highly recommend staying here. It truly exceeded all of our expectations.
