The villa has 4 bdrs / 6 bthrs, 2 pools, rooftop with a large chill-out shaded area. Welcome amenities are included. The space Villa Menara is a 320 m2 (3,600 sq. ft.) villa distributed over three floors. The ground floor has a kitchen, dining room, one spacious bedroom (en-suite bathroom), guest bathroom and open-plan living room with floor-to-ceiling windows and open directly onto the main pool. High ceilings (>3 mt / 10 ft) help create an open and naturally lit space. The dining room has a large wooden table that seats 10 people; the living room is great for kicking back and watching TV on a huge sofa; or organizing a game of cards or board games. While there is a bedroom on the ground floor, the second floor has three bedrooms. All bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, fitted wardrobes and a safe. The breakdown of the bedrooms is as follows: Bedroom 1 (Ground floor): two queen size beds, air conditioning, ceiling fan, built-in wardrobe with safe, en-suite bathroom with shower, shampoo, gel and conditioner dispenser, hair dryer.

Other things to note LOCATION & TRANSPORTATION Tips: The house is about a 15-20 minute walk to Tulum Pueblo and a 15 minute drive to Tulum Beach. For longer stays, I highly recommend renting a car, either from Cancun Airport or Tulum Airport—this is what I personally do. Having a car gives you much more freedom to explore all that the area has to offer, including cenotes, beaches, Mayan ruins, and more. Please note: the home is located in the Holistika residential area, which has a jungle feel and unpaved roads. While this definitely adds to the charm and experience, drive slowly, especially during the rainy season, as potholes are common. If you don´t want to rent a car, we can organize shuttle service to and from the airport, as well as organizing taxi rides to Tulum center or to the beaches / cenotes with a trusted driver. We can also organize bicycle rentals, house call chefs and massages. SECURITY: Please note that there is an outdoor security camera installed at the front of the house. It is directed toward the garden area and monitors the front door entrance for safety and security purposes. WIFI: Villa Menara has high-speed WiFi (20 Mbps), available in all areas of the house and rooftop. Always bear in mind that Tulum is isolated (that´s what makes it so special), but this can sometimes imply intermittent WiFi (due to power outages, etc). ADDITIONAL GUESTS' COST: Please note that there is an additional charge of $35 per person, per night for each guest beyond the 6th. When booking, be sure to enter the total number of guests, and Airbnb will automatically apply the extra guest fee.

4BR villa in Tulum

Menara Villa - 10pax - 2 pools - Jungle Lux - Villas for Rent in Tulum, Quintana Roo, Mexico

We loved staying at Villa Menara. The location was great - close to some outstanding restaurants and central to everything we wanted to do. The area was very quiet and private, with easy parking. We felt safe walking around and hanging out. The only disappointment was the pool. It is so pretty but was on the colder side and full of leaves even though it was cleaned regularly. Our family enjoyed the rooftop plunge pool, a great hangout spot and respite from the heat. Overall a wonderful stay in Tulum!

The place is very nice, but unfortunately our vacation went south pretty fast. My daughter became very ill and it essentially negated any semblance of a vacation. That said, the host couldn't have been more understanding and helpful throughout. They helped us get a doctor and even gave us a refund when we needed to fly back home early. Nonetheless, I still give them 5 stars for responsiveness, proactiveness, thoughtfulness and humanity. All things I believe this world could use a lot more of right now.

Absolutely loved our stay at Villa Menara!

Perfection.  That's what this Airbnb is. From Raquel's responsiveness to any questions, to the house manager Ari's helpfulness, to the private chef services provided by Jorge with Manuel's team, to our amazing driver Erick getting us anywhere we needed to go, all the way to the friendly housekeeper.  The property itself was stunning.  We loved the beauty of the lower pool surrounded in lush greenery.  The upper pool area was so peaceful and a perfect place for morning coffee or to catch some afternoon sun.  It is set in a quiet, safe area that is walkable to many amazing restaurants and convenience stores. We would recommend this Airbnb to anyone and everyone! You will be thrilled with your choice!!

Dear Rachel, We have been so fortunate to have you stay with us. Thank you so much for your kindness. 💗🙏 I am so glad that you’ve enjoyed your stay. Muchas gracias! Abrazo, Raquel

We stayed for my bachelorette & Our villa was amazing and the exact thing you want when staying in Mexico. The architecture really added to the vibe! The walls and outdoor areas were truly beautiful and the staircase made it the PERFECT photo shoot! Ari was always responsive even going the extra mile to have groceries delivered! One downfall was the outdoor pool downstairs- the courtyard is absolutely beautiful and me and my girls loved being out there with how peaceful and tranquil - but bc of all the greenery the pool just remained a little cloudy & leafy and because it doesn’t get sun it was cold but when I say that was the least of our worries because the whole villa was beautiful. The downstairs is the perfect place to host as we had a chef and bartender and being all in one area truly added to the feel. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Raquel’s place was great and looked exactly like the photos. The space fit 6 people comfortably and every room had its own private bathroom. Ari the property manager was awesome, he walked us through everything as soon as we got there and was very responsive with help and recommendations throughout the entire trip. The house is on a secluded road so we definitely felt safe being away from the main road and it was easy for cabs to find us. I’ll also mention that they fully stocked up with soda, beer and water which was great! We had an early flight in and a late flight back home, they were extremely flexibility with check in and check out time which took away a lot of stress on us. Would definitely recommend this booking and if I were to come back to Tulum i’d definitely stay here again.

The place was nice & looked exactly like the pictures you have listed I highly recommend the place especially if you looking for a tropical vibe

Excellent stay at Villa Menara, with an incredibly friendly and helpful host group. This was everything we hoped it would be for a memorable bachelorette weekend. Thank you!

Thank you so much for your kind words, Ashley! I am so glad to hear that Villa Menara was the perfect place for your bachelorette party weekend. It was a pleasure to host you, and we are delighted that you enjoyed your stay. Would love you to come back!

This was one of the worst Airbnb experiences I’ve had. The main pool was green and full of algae, and the plunge pool had just been chemically shocked—but we were falsely told it was safe. My children developed rashes within minutes of entering. When I raised this, the host was hostile and dismissive, not concerned at all about the safety issue. We were told to vacate within 15 minutes or be charged more. We were also given the wrong access info at check-in and left to scramble. Raquel and her team took no responsibility and handled the situation with blame and aggression. For the price charged, this was completely unacceptable. I don’t recommend this listing to anyone, especially families.

For those reading this review, I would like to clarify the context: I'm very sorry to hear that Brett left with such a negative impression. I always aim to provide a safe and welcoming experience, and I take feedback seriously. I’d like to clarify several facts for future guests and hosts: This was a same-day, last-minute booking, and I informed the guest right away that the main pool was undergoing maintenance and would be unavailable for 24 hours. Despite this, the guest requested an early check-in at 10:00 am (well before the standard 3:00 pm check-in), and I accommodated their request. The plunge pool had been treated a day prior, and my maintenance team confirmed it was safe. The guest later raised concerns, which I took seriously, and I immediately contacted Airbnb and opened a case. I am sorry if there were any unexpected reactions, but no medical proof or formal report was presented to us. The guest initially never mentioned the main pool as a problem and later shared messages saying the home was lovely and they were comfortable staying two nights. It was only after I explained that I could refund three nights, but would need to charge one (due to the four-night minimum stay policy), that communication became tense and accusations escalated. Regarding access: the lockbox had not been updated due to the sudden nature of the booking, but I sent the correct code once ready. My team also responded quickly on-site to assist. With over 95 stays and an average rating of 4.92 stars, I have always conducted myself with professionalism and care. Meanwhile I deeply regret this guest’s dissatisfaction, I firmly stand by the transparent communication and efforts made during their stay. To Airbnb, thank you for your responses and support regarding the recent situation with guest Brett. I appreciate the recognition of my efforts and the understanding shown regarding the pool picture timestamp confirming it was maintained on the following day, and booking timeline. However, I would like to raise a concern to any future host regarding the guest’s private message, which included personal attacks, aggressive language, and harassment. While I understand guests may be upset, I believe this message crosses a line and violates Airbnb’s Content Policy on respectful communication. I also believe the public review omits key facts and creates a false and damaging impression. Specifically: The guest accepted early check-in and pool maintenance terms in writing. They complimented the property and said they could stay longer. They left the house unclean and untidy. Their complaints and tone shifted only after I informed them of a partial refund, not a full one. This situation caused me significant emotional stress. Nevertheless, I remain committed to hosting responsibly and professionally. And I continue to strive to provide the best experience at my house. And despite how things ended, I truly wish Brett and his family all the best. Kind regards, Raquel

Raquel was amazing. She was extremely responsive to any questions or problems we had. I recommend this property to anyone who is considering it.

Thank you so much, Heather for your kind and generous review. It was a pleasure to host you. I feel grateful to you. Un fuerte abrazo, Raquel

House was amazing. Thanks for the help arranging everything we wanted to do. Kitchen was super stocked and had the cutest cups (that can opener could use replacing). The back dirt roads aren’t even a big deal, you bounce around for a street to two and then it’s smooth again. Double pool option was fantastic, in the mornings the first floor pool would be a little chilly so we would go to the roof top until it warmed up (it always did). My only issues were that i kept getting ants in the master bedroom. They were kinda just traveling through every night, nothing was dirty so guess it’s just part of the area. By night three they were my “pequeños animales”…. Still have to figure out how to say ants in Spanish haha. Also the master shower didn’t get warm at all, which wasn’t really a problem because there is SO many bathroom. It actually helped me discover the rooftop shower- i highly recommend this one- it has the best water pressure. Thanks for everything! I’ll always recommend you!

Really fantastic property and the host was extremely helpful with navigating the check in and Tulum generally. They also arranged for a private chef which was excellent.

Raquel's home is beautiful and well kept. Host was always super responsive and proactive with any requests. Received so many great recommendations locally and helped connect me with other services that I needed. For instance I wanted decor prior to arrival and they helped facilitate that! It is located in the central part of Tulum, which is so convenient for restaurants, nightlife, or excursions. Home was so much better than the photos. Really well spaced out for a group. Would definitely come back!

The Villa was exactly as described and provided a nice and peaceful haven for after our adventures around Tulum. We came as a party of 5 and all rooms were nice and spacious. The Villa itself had plenty of room to chill out, whether it be in the nicely air conditioned kitchen, or on the roof terrace (my personal favourite!). The area of La Valeta had plenty of bars and restaurants. We were amazed by the friendliness of locals, waiters and owners. The food was always exceptional no matter where we went, but a special mention has to to Tres Galeones which was our second home during our stay. As Raquel mentioned, a form of transport is needed if you want to get about. We opted for E-Bikes from Paradise Rentals which, with a top speed of 45km/hr, were fine for getting back and to the beach district during the day / evening. If you want a top standard Villa and are a fan of peace and quiet after a busy day adventuring / exploring the many bars, then this is the place for you!

Thank you, Matt for your fantastic review. A pleasure to host you. Would love you to come back any time. All the best!

Super nice property, In a very private area Professional staff Highly recommend

Thank you very much, Erez for your kind review. Lovely to host you! Would love you all to come back! Best, Raquel

We loved our stay here! We were a group of 6 girls and we all fit comfortably. The hosts were super responsive. They got us set up with a chef and a taxi service we used all week. The villa itself is beautiful. My favorite part was the location. I loved being walking distance to so many cafes, restaurants and bars! Felt like a local. I would highly recommend this place

The house was just as advertised, the two pools and cleaning service was amazing. Ari the property manager was amazing he set up the private chef, massages at the house, and much more. We will definitely stay again in the future!!!

The house is beautiful and super comfortable and the location is very private but you are still close to so much great stuff. Communication was so easy and they were super responsive and helpful. We really enjoyed our time!

Loved this Airbnb it was the best! Host was so friendly I would recommend this to anyone !

Fantastic place. Ari was super accommodating and we had the best time. Logistics was as smooth as can be. Ari was very attentive and I could’t recommend this place more.

Beautiful villa that fit 7 comfortably. Great location to get to Zamna easily in 15 minutes and was close to town. Erik the driver that was recommended was amazing definitely organize the private transfers through Ari. Would definitely stay again!

The place was generally good. Unfortunately, the kitchen is small and not as well equipped as we are accustomed to. The main pool is nice but its orientation is north so, together with a lot of tree cover, the sun does not reach it. This means that the water is colder than we'd have liked.

Very nice place! Ari was nice and fixed what we needed quickly.

Veldig fint sted! Ari var hyggelig og fikset det vi trengte raskt.

Raquel’s place was good! We enjoyed our time.

So helpful thanks a lot! Was perfect for our friends to meet for a long weekend with the a baby. The security is good and it’s a nice area - close to yoga and restaurants and at the end of a quiet street. The kitchen is not great for cooking so if you want to self cater try simple stuff. But we loved the private chef they arranged and there are many good places to eat nearby. The wifi is patchy so if you plan to work remotely from the house it could be tricky.

We had a great stay at this Airbnb! The home was cozy, well-equipped, and exactly as described. The area is still in a developing stage, so there were some potholes, especially after the rain, but that didn’t stop us from enjoying our time. A big thank you to our host, who was incredibly flexible and kind, even helping us adjust our trip plans at short notice. This level of responsiveness and care made our stay so much smoother and more enjoyable. Overall, a lovely spot with a fantastic host—highly recommend if you're visiting during the drier season!

the owners were very nice and very responsive. the house looked exactly how it was in pictures

Our stay at Villa Manera was good. The house is beautiful and has everything you need. It’s about 35 mins from Tulum airport, but super easy to find. Ari was super friendly and very helpful. We went for a birthday trip, so I needed balloons and a cake. Ari was kind enough to help gather everything for me and set up before our arrival. I would say be careful when parking in town. Our car got towed one night and everyone would give us different information on where to find our car. We paid about $300 USD in fees 😫 Just do NOT park anywhere you see yellow on the side walk. That was really the only annoying thing about the trip. Thank you Ari for all your help. Tulum was beautiful!!! Definitely check out Neek!!!

We loved staying at Raquel's place in Tulum. We were celebrating a bachelorette party, and it was perfect for all of us. Raquel and Ari were very responsive and helpful. We had some issues with the safes and Ari was there within 15 minutes to help us out. The location was great too! The large grocery store (Aki?) is only 15 min away, and tons of restaurants within a few minutes. It's not by the beach but we didn't mind because we were doing a bunch of activities and could use the pool to cool off. Just one thing to mention - the pool on the roof is much smaller than it looks in the pictures. It didn't bother us at all because we were a smaller group, but it's def not big enough for loads of people. The one on the ground floor is better for that! We loved all the amenities. There were yoga mats on the roof if you wanted to get your flow on, every kitchen utensil you could ever need, beach towels, etc. It was awesome. I would highly recommend!

Thank you so much, Piper! It was great to have you and a pleasure to host you!! Gracias, Raquel

This was an incredible stay! You are tucked away in a private are, but there are plenty of restaurants within 5-15 minutes walking, and there’s lots to do (including a bar with bachata and salsa classes). You are a short taxi to the beach, and you can so easily call a taxi through the property manager. They always showed up within 10 minutes! The house was regularly cleaned while we were there, including refreshing the towels, and the house was well stocked with safe drinking water. We felt taken care of, and we had a fabulous time!

Thank you, Radiance for your kind and great review. I am so glad that you enjoyed your stay. Would love you to come back soon! Take care, Raquel

The villa is exceptional! It truly is an oasis in paradise. It worked perfectly for our group of friends. Ari was very helpful and easy to get ahold of. I would highly recommend this villa to anyone going to Tulum.

Thank you very much, Kyle for your kind review and for being such great guests. Take care, Raquel

Great place. We loved the rooftop pool in the early evenings (and the main pool was great during the day!). Ari was very helpful and responsive. It was nice to be able to walk to good restaurants in the neighborhood.

We were 6 girls from North America who traveled to Tulum for my bachelorette. Villa Menara was our safe haven and sanctuary. The house was so spacious, clean and functional with a large communal living/dining room and the fantastic 2 pools! We felt safe and welcomed. The fridge was stocked with some welcome drinks :) Drinking water and coffee was available too! We booked the recommended chefs for a home made dinner which I recommend. There was a power cut one of the nights which affected the whole neighborhood but everything worked out. The only negative is the unpaved road, one taxi refused to drive all the way in so we had to walk the last bit. It's also far away from the beach and not close enough to Tulum centre to walk. Overall this house was great for a group of friends. Thanks to Raquel and the team for a great stay!

Such a great vacation at Raquel’s home. The home was immaculate and we really enjoyed our stay. The services/ the cleaning lady and house manager Ari were so on top of it and it truly made our vacation feel so high end and luxurious.

We had the absolute best time here!! Came for a bachelorette trip and enjoyed every second. The house is beyond beautiful and had perfect photo op moments. Everything is very clean and the cleaning service daily was so nice. Ari was such a responsive and helpful property manager too, even helped get us groceries before arriving! Thank you so so much Raquel for hosting us, we will be back!!

Thank you very much, Amanda for your amazing review! It’s been a pleasure to host you. Please come back soon!

Wonderful place, looks exactly like in the photos and we had a great time. I appreciate everything and would really like to go back one day. Thank you for your hospitality and help during our stay.

By far the best airbnb I’ve stayed at. Would highly recommend this stay!

Thank you very much, Kenzie! It was lovely to host you! Come back soon! Gracias, Raquel

Great stay and the property manager Ari was amazing - helping us organize groceries, taxis and on hand for anything we needed. Perfect place for large groups and extremely close to an amazing hotel Holistika perfect for morning breakfast

Our stay (for my bachelorette party) was AMAZING at this house. The house was beautiful and perfect for hosting a lot of girls and feeling very comfortable. Raquel connected us with many things to do- chef, taxi driver- and let us check in very early (thank you so much!) We are super grateful for Ari the manager and the cleaning team. We already want to come back!

Nuestra estancia (por mi despedida de soltera) fue INCREÍBLE en esta casa. La casa era hermosa y perfecta para alojar muchas chicas y sentirnos muy cómodas. Raquel nos conectó con muchas cosas que hacer— chef, taxista— y nos dejó hacer check-in muy temprano (muchas gracias!) Estamos súper agradecidas por Ari el manager y el equipo de la limpieza. ¡Ya queremos volver!

Thank you very much, Sasha for your kind review! I’d love you to come back!! Best, Raquel

Villa Menara was stunning. The too-good to-be true photos turned out to be true! the house was beautiful and the pools (2!) the perfect place to hang out (we particularly liked the sunroof). Ari, the property manager, was so nice and responded to anything we needed pretty immediately. There’s even a free(!) cleaning service who come EVERY day!! The area is great, seemed very safe and super close to the Holistika hotel (great place to take a yoga class, also has a great (and reasonably priced) restaurant attached). Definitely come to villa menara, total bang for our buck. We lucked out :)

Thank you so much, Phoebe for your amazing review! It’s been a pleasure to host you. Please come back soon! Abrazo, Raquel

We loved our stay here! Raquel was very helpful right away and offered lots of great recommendations. She was flexible with our check in due to an early flight. The place was spacious, perfect for 6 of us. We especially loved the rooftop deck and large dining table for meals. Ari the property manager was fantastic, he met us at the place right on time and kindly picked up some groceries for us. The location was great, a short taxi ride to the beach or into town, and walking distance to a few great restaurants and bars. Our taxi driver Erick was friendly and super responsive, always just a quick text away. We also appreciated the daily housekeeping which made a big impact on our stay. Would 100% recommend!

Thank you very much, Lauren for your kind review! A pleasure to have you. Please come back soon. Thanks again, 🫶🏻 Raquel

We had an incredible time at Villa Menara!!! It was as pictured, and was the perfect place for our group trip with everything we needed. Ari was so lovely and helpful and very fast to respond to our requests at the villa. We even used the recommended private Chef for a dinner at home and massages- both were truly special. 11/10- would recommend and would definitely stay again!

Thank you very much, Kellie for your fantastic review. Thank you very much for staying with us, we’d love you to come back! Take care, Raquel

Thank you so much to both Raquel and Ari for hosting us. From all of the pre-coordination with helping us get an at home chef and masseuses, to offering great local recommendations, both Raquel and Ari were incredibly helpful hosts and made my bachelorette an amazing experience. This Airbnb was the perfect place for a large group of friends who want to feel like they are in a jungly paradise with lots of hang out spots inside the Airbnb. Highly highly recommend!! Also walking distance to really unique shops and restaurants!

Thank you so much for your amazing review, Jasmine. Lovely to host you. Come back soon! Take care, Raquel

Great host and great villa will 100% recommend to anyone vacationing tulum.

Thank you so much, Felton. My pleasure to have hosted you. Hope you come back soon! Best, Raquel

House was amazing . Raquel was extremely helpful and the daily amenities made my stay worthy.

Thank you very much, Raniyah for your kind review and for being such great guests. It was lovely to host you. Take care, Raquel

Raquel was very responsive in the beginning, and then handed us off to the property manager, Ari, who was also extremely quick to respond. He helped us set up taxi and shuttle services with ease. Daily housekeeping was a nice perk too! The whole group felt very much at home here, and we’ve already discussed returning at some point should we ever find ourselves in Tulum again in the future.

Thanks a lot for your review, Sena. I am very glad that you enjoyed your stay at Villa Menara. A pleasure to host you with the team. All the best, Raquel

Raquel was a great host. Ari the property manager was responsive and quick to get us anything we needed. The first night we got a private chef that was recommended by Ari and we couldn’t have been happier with the meal. The place was true to pictures and the perfect weekend for our party of 8. Thank you so much!

Thanks a lot, Amy for your fantastic review. It was lovely to host you at Villa Menara. Come back soon! Take care, Raquel

Raquels place was extraordinary and astonishing , we had an amazing time. From the gorgeous pool to the rooftop plunge pool everything exceeded our expectations! Everything looked as pictured! Bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and super comfortable! I want to thank Ari for being so responsive and helpful, answering every question we had in a second! Definitely recommend staying here! Dont think twice ☺️

Thank you very much, Valeria for your kind and great review. It was a pleasure to host you!! Please come back soon! Gracias de nuevo, Raquel

I enjoyed my self during my stay at Raquel’s place. The place was beautiful and very clean. Raquel was also very responsive and got us connected with a great coordinator (Adolfo) that assisted with coordinating everything from a chef, excursions, and a driver. We did have some issues with getting in contact with our concierge Ari during the end of the trip but I believe he was sick. But due to the lack of communication and misunderstanding we were not able to have massages when we wanted. Also the shower in my room was always cold even after Ari showed me how to work the hot water. Other than those minor things, my friends and I had an amazing time here and Raquel was a very responsive host. I definitely recommend staying here.

Raquel’s place was exactly as described. It’s a beautiful home with lots of thoughtful additions to make your stay feel like home. My only complaint would be the echo in the main space I’m hearing impaired and found that the echo made it more difficult to hear with my hearing aid. There were 2 short power outages due to surrounding construction, but the host was very responsive in assisting to our needs. The house is absolutely beautiful and the pools were well maintained. I would absolutely come and stay here again ♥️

Thank you very much, Mary for your kind review. I am sorry for the echo 🙏. I am glad that you and your family have had a good stay at my house and have felt taken care of. Would love you to come back! Happy New Year! Raquel

Amazing! We fell in love with Tulum and fell in love with this home. Some things I didn’t realize were - there is daily maid service - not only did she wash dishes and clean but she folded our towels into little shapes on our bed like a cruise ship would. - the kitchen had everything you could possibly need - they even had little drinks in the fridge when you arrive. The beds were SUPER comfortable. Seriously it was a delightful stay. There are lots of places to stay in Tulum but this one is a safe and amazing choice.

Thank you so much Anna for your fantastic review! It was a pleasure for me and the team on site to host you and your family. I am so glad that you had a pleasant stay and felt taken care of 😊. Thank you! Merry Christmas! Raquel

Raquel's place was AMAZING!! Everything was as described & on top of that, she was an incredibly kind, responsive, and generous host. She went out of her way to make our stay comfortable with kids and her team was incredibly quick to help us out with anything needed on the property while we were there. We loved every minute of our stay and will definitely be back. (The top patio was definitely our favorite place to hang!)

Thank you very much, Amanda for your incredible review. You are amazing. I’ve simply loved to have you and your family at my house. Congratulations for your beautiful kids! Would love you to come back! Thanks again, Raquel

This is such a beautiful home! Everything matches the pictures shown in the listing. The living room/kitchen and outdoor space are a great place to hang out and just relax. The concierge, Ari, was great to work with and always available to help and answer questions. Tulum is going through a lot of development, so there are plenty of new homes under construction in the surrounding area. Our group didn't experience any inconvenience from the work being done around us. If you do choose to rent a car, it is worth knowing that the roads can be a little rough in some spots and the signage might be slightly different from the driving directions because it's been moved or blocked. I'd highly recommend lining up the private chef for at least one meal! We had tacos & drinks on the night we arrived. It was a great experience! We even ended up with leftovers (food and alcohol) that we used the rest of the trip! It was well worth the price!

Thank you very much for your kind review, Allison, and for being such great guests! Would love you to come back. Take care, Raquel

This place is 5-stars through and through. The host was EXTREMELY responsive and had people ready to help with any potential issues and local recommendations including shuttle services. Also having the cleaners come every morning was a very nice touch that made our stay at this immaculate house just that much better! If you have a large group or family and want a nice kitchen, lounge areas, and pool….this is it, especially for the price!

Thank you very much, Cole for your kind review. Glad that you and your friends enjoyed your stay at Villa Menara. It was great to host you. Best, Raquel

Me and 11 guests had an amazing experience at this AirBnb. The project manager Ari was absolutely amazing! He would bring us whatever we needed and recommended amazing services from airport pickup to On Site chef that made the experience in Tulum full of amazing memories and quality attention. Ari response time to messages was within an hour or 2 to attend to our needs which was top tier service in my books. Thank you for an amazing experience!

We loved our stay here and would highly recommend it! It was secluded, beautiful and very spacious. Any questions or issues we had were responded to immediately and Ari, the property manager was extremely helpful in helping connect us to amazing tours, drivers and private chefs.

Thank you, Sharan for your wonderful review. Glad to hear you felt taken cared of and that you enjoyed your stay at Villa Menara. With kind regards, Raquel

Ari and the team for Villa Menara were absolutely amazing. They went above and beyond to make our bachelorette party be as seamless and amazing as possible. The location was great and walking distance to Holistika which is a must visit. The property manager helped with making trips to the grocery store and having the fridge stocked up. Def a 5 star visit!!

Thank you for your kind and great review, Mahak. Please come back soon! Best, Raquel

Welcoming traditional style villa with enough space for a big group to be comfortable. The villa has a nice kitchen and pool. The property manager was responsive and readily took care of our daily needs. However, there was an excessive amount of construction in the area which resulted in a non-private, noisy location.

Hi Stephen, I am sorry to hear now from your review that it was uncomfortable the construction that is ending outside my house. If I had known, I would have called the architect. I try my best to keep the noise to minimal but this is really out of my control. As it is published in my Airbnb listing. I apologize for the inconvenience. I hope you felt comfortable inside my house. I offer a daily cleaning refresh service, amenities and my team and myself are fully committed to take care of our guests. Again thank you for your feedback. Best, Raquel

Raquel was a excellent host, the house was beautiful and the space was perfect for the 5 of us. The pools were beautiful and kept clean. I’d highly recommend  this home for a vacation !!  Would return here anytime !

We booked the villa for a birthday trip (group of 11) and it was perfect. Peaceful location, quiet, everything was comfortable. Plenty of seating, everyone slept comfortably. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed including spices. Grocery delivery was super convenient, the host helped us with transportation which made it easy to get around as a big group. Host was responsive and super helpful. They were very accommodating, couldn't give this place higher marks. The only 2 things to consider is that there is some construction around the house, it didn't bother us though. The location was a little difficult for taxis to find, but we just dropped a pin and sent that rather than the address and it worked. It's also very secluded so we were able to play music outdoors late at night with no issue which was a big plus. 10/10 recommendation!!

What a wonderful stay we had at Raquel’s house! Not only is it beautiful and clean, it has everything we needed to feel comfortable. The pool area and the rooftop are highlights for sure. We rented a car to get around and would definitely recommend it as the house is a bit secluded. Nice restaurants, pharmacy, convenience store in La Veleta neighborhood are within walking distance. Ari, our contact during our stay, was super responsive and friendly. Construction is happening on both sides of the house at the moment. It does get noisy at times but we had been made aware of it prior to our trip and it’s not something the host can control. Honestly, the pool’s waterfall covers the noise perfectly! Our group of 6 had an amazing week in Tulum. Thank you again Raquel :)

Thank you, Annie for your great review. I am very happy to read that you enjoyed the house. Thanks for your understanding and patience for the construction outside, which is out of my control. Hopefully it will end up soon. Love you to come back. Thanks again! Raquel

Loved Raquel’s place! Overall, the house is beautiful and everything is spot on with the pictures in the listing. There definitely was more construction around the house than expected but this was explained by the host and in the reviews. Would love to stay again if visiting Tulum in the future!

This villa is EXACTLY how its described. The amenities are stellar. Ari was an EXCELLENT Airbnb host. He was so communicative & helped me plan everything for my brother’s bach of 8 ppl. He provided me great options for private dinners & a private transport to drive us around Tulum. He really does get back to you very quickly & is very courteous. 10/10 Santiago cooked our private brunch at the Airbnb. He was extremely professional & the food was exceptional. We had French toast, juevos rancheros, fresh fruit and empanadas. Everyone loved the meal. The pricing was extremely fair, and he calls you to make sure you are getting the exact experience you want. 10/10 Finally, Aaron drove us around all weekend. He is easy to communicate with on What’s App and he’s always prompt for pick-up and drop-off. He is also an excellent resource on finding out where to go and what’s a really fun spot. The van he drives you around fit 8 ppl great along with any groceries you need to pick up. 10/10

Thank you very much, Ruben, for your wonderful review. I am very glad that you, your brother and friends enjoyed your stay at Villa Menara in Tulum. Best, Raquel

A good place overall. We felt like it was home. Off the beaten path so it’s like you’re in the jungle. Market and pharmacy are walking distance. Ari the property manager also made sure that we had everything we need. Beautiful place and the pool was the highlight. Love it and will book again.

Thank you very much, Diego for your kind review. You made my day when you said you felt like home. You’ve been great guests. Would love to host you at my house again. Best, Raquel

Raquel was exceptionally responsive to our questions and needs. Very user friendly.

Thank you very much to you Claus and to Ethel for having stayed at Villa Menara and for your kind and high review. I really appreciate it. Please come back soon and let me know in advance. Best, Raquel

Beautiful property, super comfortable beds (maybe the best i’ve experienced at a airbnb), great cleaning service and communication. There was construction noise throughout the day but we were made aware of it. It’s not obvious from the photos but the view directly across is a construction site. Not a big deal but photos make it seem like you’re secluded in the jungle. Construction workers can look into the second floor easily. Great value for 10-12 people.

Thank you so much for providing such an exquisite home! The house was incredible. Every design detail was well thought out and executed beautifully. The house felt like a paradise. Raquel was extremely helpful before we arrived and provided us a guide to the Villa and Tulum. She gave us great recommendations for our visit. Ari, the house manager, went above and beyond. He greeted us at the Villa upon our arrival and arranged to have groceries for us. Ari was extremely responsive if when we had questions or needs throughout our stay. The house was well stocked and pristinely clean. It and had everything we needed from toiletries to kitchenware. We were able to relax and use every part of the house. We were able to do it all from swimming in the pool, soaking in the sun on the lounge chairs, having wonderful conversations on the roof cabana, enjoying the hot tub, and gazing at the the stars at night in the roof. Thank you Raquel and Ari! It was a delight.

Thank you very much for your amazing review, Sarah. It has been a pleasure to host you. Would love you to come back soon! Un abrazo, Raquel

Our group of 8 had a PHENOMENAL stay at Villa Menara with host Raquel and property manager Ari. From the time we booked, both Raquel and Ari were incredibly helpful and responsive to helping us set up plans and logistics for the bachelorette trip. The house was incredibly clean, the showers ran hot, and the setup was perfect to hangout in the pool and to cook as a group. The location is walkable ~5 minutes to Holistika for coffee/yoga and ~15 to Calle 7 for restaurants/grocery store/bars. The bonus was our driver Juan Carlos recommended by Ari. Juan Carlos went above and beyond to provide for our transportation needs throughout the trip, I highly recommend using his services.

Thank you so much, Tori, for you fab review. A pleasure for us to host guests like you. Thanks again, Raquel

Our stay here was amazing!! We hope to come back someday. The place was beautiful, super private and a little bit off the beaten path but still walkable to places! The space was perfect for our large group and Ari, Eric and Raquel were all incredibly helpful and responsive. We loved every minute of our stay!!

Thank you very much for your review, Karen. I am glad that you enjoyed your stay at the villa. 😊 I’d love you and your friends to come back. Best, Raquel

Beautiful accommodation, perfect communication, really involved hosts and concerned about the comfort of its tenants. Spacious rooms, comfortable beds to perfection, an extremely clean villa, a beautiful roof top, perfect location, everything was there! A big thank you

Un logement magnifique, une communication parfaite, des hôtes vraiment impliqués et soucieux du confort de ses locataires. chambres spacieuses, des lits comfortable à la perfection, une villa extrêmement propre, un roof top magnifique, emplacement parfait tout y était ! un grand merci

Thank you very much, Anne for your kind review. Would love you to come back. Best, Raquel

A beautiful Airbnb with amenities fitting for our group of 9! The pools were a definite highlight and the layout of the house felt like the perfect amount of space for all of us. The house is tucked into the Holstika neighborhood area, which is nice and quiet aside from the construction across the street (there is construction throughout Tulum and Raquel was great to communicate this upfront prior to our stay). Otherwise, places to walk to, but we drove a decent amount and used Taxi services provided by Ari, the house manager on behalf of Raquel. Would definitely recommend as a home base for a big group of friends!

Thank you very much Angela for your kind review. It’s been a pleasure to host you, I would love you to come back. Un abrazo, Raquel

Beautiful villa and plenty of room for a large group traveling together. Both Raquel and Ari, the property manager, were quick to respond and very accommodating. The roof is especially magical in the morning. Two things which to be fair were out of their control but maybe be aware of when booking - there’s construction directly across the street. We were made aware of it and the noise was not an issue at all, but be prepared to have a minimum of 5 men around it at all times (no inappropriate interactions, and we were a group of all women) and the villa has very large windows in every room (there’s blinds). The second was a security system from the neighbors that went off constantly at night with the rain until Ari had contacted them on behalf of us and was taken care of. The property is also very close to Holistika hotel with delicious breakfast, yoga and sound baths which we all went over for.

Me and my girlfriends had a great time staying at this beautiful property. It was exactly as I pictured, and the description was very accurate. Pros: -Spacious bedrooms and bathrooms Peaceful (except for the four AM roosters) -Host was attentive and the communication was great -Chefs dinner was to die for (host recommendation) -amenities as described. Cons: -The main was very hard to lock. I would recommend those be changed as we struggled for ten minutes everyday. - the location is a little hidden so it was hard for trasportation to find at times. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely recommend this property to anyone that’s looking for a beautiful, spacious home, whether it be for a bachelorette party or even just a vacation .

Soon after I booked the place, I received a greeting from Raquel as well as a guidebook to the villa and Tulum. Arrangements are primarily made with Ari. He gave me a contact for a taxi/shuttle service, so I was able to access transportation on a whim. During our stay the lock to the front door broke so we couldn’t lock up. Ari replaced the whole lock and had new keys made.The house is beautiful, the couch was perfect for movies. The swim up pool is fun (cold) although we spent most of our time on the rooftop, eating, drinking, and messing around. There’s construction across the street, which is a bumpy unpaved street with a few houses, and construction which we found more interesting to watch than bothersome. All houses have quirks but there was nothing big enough to complain about or that can’t be fixed via the hosts. We often walked to breakfast, a 10 min walk or so, and to dinner at La Tequeria for good vibes and gelato. Our whole trip was good vibes, this was a perfect home base.

We absolutely loved this villa! It was perfect for a group of 8 to celebrate my 30th birthday. The entire villa was gorgeous and even better than I expected. Raquel and Ari were both super responsive and helped us out with everything that we needed. It was a little difficult to locate the Villa at first, since it's off the beaten path. But Ari, helped us out. We especially loved the rooftop as it was a beautiful place for everyone to hang out. There was more than enough space for everyone to sprawl out. I'd highly recommend staying here!

Fantastic villa which was the highlight of our trip. Our group was 2 couples and one guy but could quite easily host 4 couples or 2 couples and 4 others. Fantastic outdoor spaces and impeccably kept. Saw some other reviews about building work but you would struggle to find anywhere in Tulum that doesn’t have building works ongoing at the moment. Power tools were never used too early and didn’t intrude on our trip whatsoever. Would 100% recommend

Thank you very much, Jake for your wonderful review. Thank you! I am very happy to hear that you’ve enjoyed staying at Villa Menara. I’d love you to come back! Un abrazo, Raquel

This villa is absolutely stunning and Raquel (and Ari, the house manager) were extremely responsive. At one point, a neighbor was having a party with really loud music and we could not sleep. Ari was responsive throughout the night and kept me posted about what was happening. The next morning Raquel also got in touch to apologize even though it was not at all their fault. PROS: - villa is stunning with tons of space - the cleaning staff is fantastic - building is sound proof CONS: - location can be tricky to get to at night - try getting there in the afternoon/during daylight - there is a ton of construction on the street that doesn't look like it'll be done for another several months or so-can hear it in the morning NOTE: - definitely get a car and when you do rent the car, make sure it is one that can navigate potholes well (the street is unpaved) - try at least one of the meals with the private chef - he was amazing - the pool on the rooftop is not a hot tub, it's a mini-pool

This stay was exactly how it was pictured. It has three bedroom upstairs and one double bedroom downstairs. Each room has it own bathroom and also there’s another shower in the third flower and two outdoor showers if you desire. The beautiful staircase is sooo great for photos. The kitchen is great for chef services and everyone can sit at the table together. The location is off the beaten path so be prepared to rent a car or us them for driving services. As I don’t think a taxi could really find the location. But everyone was so helpful and accommodating. I’d stay here again no doubt about it

Thank you Janaeyah for your great review and for having stayed with us at Menara. It was a pleasure. All the best

We loved our stay here! The house was beautiful — exactly as shown in the photos, if not better. Ari was incredibly helpful and responsive throughout our stay from answering questions and stocking the fridge before our arrival, to connecting us with a private chef and transportation options to help us plan our trip. We also greatly appreciated the daily housekeeping service that was included with our stay. Our entire group had an amazing trip, largely credited to this beautiful Airbnb and the awesome support. 10/10 recommend.

Thank you very much, Marlina for you kind review. It was a pleasure to host you. Un abrazo, Raquel

This Airbnb exceeded our expectations! I cannot believe how amazing the whole experience was. Beginning with Ari being such a welcoming host and have all of our groceries ready for us when we arrived. The house itself was beautiful . We came here to celebrate my 30th birthday and it was perfect for a group of 10. All the taxi drivers were also so punctual every single time and whenever we needed something everyone would answer our messages immediately. I highly recommend this place for anyone with a bigger group!

The whole process was smooth from booking to checking-in. Any question I had; at anytime Ari was there to reply in a quickness. I loved how the house was hidden from the main street but loved how close we were to the strip and the beach. Everyone that asked me about my trip I would get so excited to talk about the house and the area. I will recommend this house to my friends/family. Thank you for everything Raquel & Ari.

The house was amazing! I’d stay there every time I visit! Ari the house manager was amazing and took care of everything. A true luxury experience. The housekeeper was so sweet and did and amazing job!

I facilitated in the booking of this house for my best friend's 30th birthday. The house is gorgeous in person, with a pool directly out front and a hot tub on the roof. There are plenty of bathrooms (even one on the roof) and tons of lounge areas. The beds are super comfy as well. We hired a chef (Rod is amazing) and we even got dinner and a show! I only had 2 suggestions. #1, RENT A CAR. The taxi service is expensive. For a group of 6, we were quickly depleting our cash and pesos before really leaving the house. I'm sure if we rented a car we would have had a better experience leaving and getting around. #2, if you desperately need wifi, bring a hotsopt. The wifi in the house doesn't travel well. If you are looking to relax and unplug that may be perfect for you. The house is in a good area, it didn't take us longer than 20/25 mins to get much of anywhere. You can get to the main area where there are tons of food options by bike in about 5 mins max. There is also an extremely helpful guidebook right when you walk in that helps with everything. Above all, we had a great stay at Raquel's lovely place. I would totally come back! She and Ari are excellent hosts and we are super grateful for their hospitality.

Speechless. No words to describe how amazing the house was but also in a really great and safe location. The services that Ari and Raquel provided us (transportation, answering questions quickly, and even recommendations) was spot on and super helpful. Our party was 8 ppl total and the house provided us with lots of space to be doing it all. Some of us by the main pool and others by the rooftop pool. We loved it so much and the service we received was 10/10. Totally recommend and it’s basically so new too. Super clean and super private !

Dear Ana, Thank you so much for your kind and wonderful review. Can’t wait to have you back soon with us. Thank you for being such wonderful guests. Un abrazo, Raquel

Airbnb was as pictured, love how grand it is. Ari the caretaker was super nice and greeted us. Even had welcome drinks in the fridge. Having the bigger pool and rooftop pool was great for our guest. House was cleaned daily except Sunday. The private chef is a must. Location was probably the biggest hurdle but once you get to know the area it gets easier. I’d recommend having a bike, car, we got good contacts for taxis but they were always a hassle to get and pricey. I love Mexico not quite sure if I’d do Tulum again. Beach party prices were outrageous and mosquitos were probably the worst I’ve ever encountered.

This home is everything you see and more. The host is very kind and provided teas and coffee for our large group of 10 people. We appreciated the kind gestures and the attentiveness. I would recommend this to anyone as it was clean, quiet, hot water, clean and comfy beds. Everything you could wish for during your stay.

Thank you, Nicole for your kind review. I really appreciate it 😊 It’s been a pleasure to host you at Villa Menara. Please come back soon! Best, Raquel

The house was even better in person than in the pictures. Raquel and Ari were so responsive and easy to deal with, setting up having groceries at the house before we arrived and a private chef the first night. It was the perfect house for our birthday party of 10. The house is about a 15 minute cab ride to the beach but it was very private which we enjoyed.

the house itself was beautiful, albeit hard to find upon initial check in. we had some initial issues contacting the house manager and with internet when we first arrived however the rest of the stay was great.  ari helped us arrange anything we needed and the housekeeping team kept the house tidy at all times.

Hi Jaimé, I’m sorry that you had an incident during the check in, I can guarantee to you it was a single issue. My property manager had a personal issue and he found a back up plan that didn’t work so smoothly. Anyway the issue was immediately resolved: We communicated over the phone the very night of your arrival and apart from the lockbox option offered, the substitute property manager arrived a few minutes later, showed you the house, explained to you the amenities and additional services included. I also indicated this information to you by message on the following day upon your arrival. We had communication open all the time. It is unfortunate to hear your discomfort only from your rating and review. My team and myself’s aim is solely to provide the best stay to our guests; the reviews published confirmed that. Anyway, I sincerely apologize for the inconveniences, we take the learnings and will continue doing our best for you and future guests in order to have a great time at Villa Menara. Thank you for staying with us. Best, Raquel

OMGOODNESS IM NOT SURE WHERE TO START BUT THIS RAQUEL PLACE IS A MUST BOOK!! ITS SOOO BEAUTIFUL AND SO SPACIOUS! IT WAS CLEAN AND THEY HAD CLEANING SERVICES COME DAILY! THEIR HOSPITALITY IS GREAT OVERALL! RAQUEL WAS REALLY GREAT AT ANSWERING ALL MY QUESTIONS AND REALLY FAST RESPONSE. ARI WAS AMAZING AT HELPING US BOOK OUR TRANSPORTATION AND EXCURSIONS! I RECOMMEND THEY TRANSPORTATION SERVICE AS WELL. WE HAD A GREAT TIME, WE HAD NO WORRIES. WE HAD A CHEF COME OUT ALSO AND THE FOOD WAS AMAZING!! THIS WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE AND I 100000% RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!! I WOULD DEFINITELY STAY HERE EVERY TIME I VISIT TULUM! ❤️

Thank you very much, Ebony. What a lovely review! It’s been my pleasure to host you and your friends. Also for my team, Ari and Leidy. I have to say that from the very beginning getting in touch with you was great. Thank you, Ebony. Come back soon! Best wishes, Raquel

Villa Menara exceeded all of our expectations! The Villa is clean, beautiful, and has an authentic Mexican feel to it. Both pools are amazing. Ari, the property manager, was nothing short of amazing and was so responsive to all of our questions and needs. The cab company Ari uses is very reliable as well. My group of friends and I had the best time and have only great things to say about Villa Menara. We would definitely stay here again! 10/10!

My group of 6 had an amazing in stay for a July birthday celebration. The house was clean, spacious, and well designed. Ari, the property manager was exceptional. Even before arriving, he was extremely responsive via Whatsapp (as was Raquel) to help us coordinate additional services like taxis, chef meals, etc. The level of service from the outside providers was top notch as well. Location in La Veleta was perfect. A very short drive to downtown area with shops, restaurants, and attractions like cenotes. It was literally a perfect stay. I would absolutely stay at Villa Menara again for my next visit to Tulum. 10/10 highly recommend!

Thank you very much, Mike, for your kind and great review 🤩 I am very glad that you and your friends have enjoyed staying at Villa Menara. Our pleasure, please come back soon!

Villa Menara was one of the best Airbnb’s I’ve stayed at. Raquel was very responsive when I had questions and even gave me a pdf with restaurant options, directions, day excursions , house essentials, services etc. I love the location of the home, it’s in the middle of everything. The commute to the Tulum beach area was about 17-20 minutes which is not bad when you’re from Texas . The home is beautiful, clean, spacious and the architecture is everything. Ari (property manager) was also responsive with anything we needed. I would recommend you book villa Menara.

I sincerely thank you, Aleesha, for your kind and appreciative message. 😊 It’s always a pleasure to host fantastic guests like you and your friends are. Looking forward to having you back soon at Villa Menara. Best, Raquel

Great place to stay. Car service has a hard time finding the place so I would use their services only.

Excellent stay! We arranged for a chef to come to the house for lunch and he made delicious Bellinis, grilled fish and shrimp tacos, fresh guacamole and lots of ceviche. The home was spacious and beautiful just like the photos. Host was extremely responsive helping us coordinate cabs and everything we needed, including stocking groceries for us before we arrived. Cab to beach area was 15-20 minutes from this house, and it’s on the end of a cul de sac with plenty of room for parking if you rent a car.

Thank you very much, Danielle for your high note review! it’s been lovely to host you at Villa Menara!

Raquel is an incredible host! We had such an amazing stay in Tulum!! You will have the greatest time at this villa it’s just incredible!

Really great choice we were a groupe of 8 and we could not have picked a better place! Raquel was very on target with communication and Ari very present when needed! The cleaners always on time and insured that the villa was spotless every time we got back in. I recommend this villa to anyone looking to visit tulum.

amazing!! highly recommend staying here if you come to visit super close to tourist street

Raquel’s place was amazing! It was actually WAY better in person! The pictures didn’t do it justice! Me and my friends were super happy with the whole house. The Architecture is amazing. Every spot we took pictures in looked great. Ari who assisted the house was great! And always responded very quick with any questions/problems/requests we had. Both pools felt amazing as well! We loved the one on the rooftop. We rented a car as Raquel suggested and getting to the nightlife and the restaurants was very easy from the house. I def give this place a 10 out of 10! And I will definitely be coming back!

Thank you very much, Jayla.  You've been a gorgeous group! Great guests, I'd love you to come back :=)

The house is amazing… Big space, comfortable bedrooms, well equipped, detailed oriented and great service. The pool was perfect for our two families (4 adults and 5 kids ages 3-9 years old). The dining table is also an amazing found since most places cannot seat 9 people all together for a family meal. Raquel is an excellent host and made our stay extra pleasant. We don’t have enough words to describe the amazing experience we had in Tulúm and in this beautiful house.

Julia, thank you very much! It’s been such a pleasure to have you all and the kids. I am so glad that you’ve enjoyed your stay and the house! Gracias!! Un abrazo!

Raquel and Ari were amazing the stay was Incredible everything that’s on the pictures is actually in the house. Can’t wait to book it again for my birthday
