6BR villa in Tulum

Beachfront Villa, no seaweed, Pool, Private Chef. - Villas for Rent in Tulum, Quintana Roo, Mexico

This vacation was for my kids before they return back to school. They absolutely had an amazing time. There was some sargasso at the beach when I arrived but Chef Daniel asked someone to clean it up and by the next day it was cleaned up and pushed to the side. Unfortunately, hotels near by had the sargasso bad and it smelled awful (like rotten eggs) driving by those places to get to our villa but aside from that it was fine. Chef Daniel was top tier, he was the highlight of the Villa. My kids loved his cooking. I hurt my back and he got me some ibuprofen which helped me tremendously. He was just wonderful and I can’t put into words how much we loved his cooking and how grateful I am for him going over and beyond. Maria was also very kind and helpful. She was always happy and smiling, just a pleasure to be around. All in all, I was pleased with choosing this villa for our family vacation. Thank you❤️

Best girls trip ever! Could not have asked for a better place to celebrate my 40th birthday and gather my friends from around the world. The place is incredible and everything they describe is accurate. Daniel, the chef, made us the best meals and the best margaritas and was extremely helpful, as well as Maria, who works at the house. The hosts were super responsive and provided us with all the info we could need. I already want to go back!

So happy to read your comments! It's so rewarding for the crew and myself to bring joy and happiness!! You're welcome back whenever you want.

Our stay at the house was beautiful! Charming design, spacious rooms, and lots of attention to detail! Daniel cooked delicious and very varied meals for us. What we enjoyed the most were the activities on the beach with the kayaks and the boards. The bay is quiet and you can sail with your kids without worrying. There is a lot of marine life to explore!

Hermosa nuestra estadía en la casa! Encantador diseño, espacios amplios y mucha atención en el detalle! Daniel nos cocinó riquísimo y muy variado. Lo que más disfrutamos fueron las actividades en la playa con los Kayaks y las tablas. La bahía está tranquila y puedes navegar con tus hijos sin preocuparte. Hay mucha vida marina por explorar!

The crew and myself were proud and happy to host you. We are delighted you enjoyed the food experience and the activities into the shallow waters of our lagoon!

We enjoyed our week at LA MAISON MANATI. The Villa is pristine, immaculate and architecturally beautiful. The property is also lovely. We didn’t feel the need to go on as many outside adventures because of what was offered on property. We loved snorkeling and kayaking in the clear bay amongst the reefs. The roof patio with the sunset, jacuzzi and drinks for adults and kids was a highlight! We tremendously enjoyed the chefs Daniel and Juan! They prepared perfect breakfasts and dinners! For our family to sit at the lovely dining table together with the best foods prepared and cleaned up was such a joy!! The housekeeping staff were also great! Everything inside and outside of the Villa was always beautifully cared for. Even when the seaweed came in they were quickly removing it. We had ample time for fun and relaxation in paradise!

The house was perfect for our adult children and our 4 grandchildren. The chef was by far the reason you should stay here. He was fantastic. The entire staff was amazing. We did have problems with the smell from one of the bathrooms as well the roof top hot tub was out of commission our entire stay. But, the pool and ocean front were truly amazing.

A beautiful location with excellent staff diminished only by the need for some maintenance issues; that is, shows wear and some things not useable.

Understandable, we agree: we faced the departure of the previous caretakers few days before your arrival.  A lack of maintenance happened because of this complicated event. It won’t happen again!

Daniel the chef was the most amazing part of our stay. The service he provides is top notch and don’t even get me started on the delicious meals/margaritas he prepares; I’d never stop talking. Helena was very responsive, attentive and a great house caretaker. I will definitely recommend this house to anyone visiting Tulum because of the service they provide alone. The scenery and views are just so beautiful and the pool was perfect for our bachelorette trip. I loved our stay at La Maison Manati and will definitely be visiting again.

Thank you so much for this wonderful appraisal. The staff was also very pleased to host such a nice group, for your bachelorette’s experience!!

Beautiful home with many spaces for relaxing with family and friends. The pool is a highlight with its well thought out areas for hanging with loved ones whether in or out of the pool. The beach gear is an added bonus for more fun activities. The best part of our stay was the wonderful food prepared by Daniel and the care provided by Elena. We had a fantastic stay and enjoyed our time at La Maison Manati.

Getting to and from the house is a little rough with the roads but otherwise this house is AMAZING. Beautiful views, comfortable and clean. The pool was just what we needed on hot days and the beach is beautiful. They provided snorkel gear and water shoes, exploring in the water and aquatic life was so fun! Hanging on the rooftop with the views was also great. Most of all the staff is super friendly and the food was DELICIOUS. Definitely would stay here again.

Thank you Tina for your stay at LA MAISON MANATI. Your beautiful comments are very rewarding!! Come back soon!

What an beautiful place! Even weeks prior to our stay the staff was busy helping us arrange our transportation, planning meals and giving recommendations for excursions. Upon arrival the staff greeted us and warmly welcomed us to the most gorgeous  home. This house is large, and with seven guest there were rooms to spare. The pictures do not do this estate justice, it is stunning! Positioned on the beach with everything  you needed to explore or enjoy the water, the scenery is rivaled only by the beautiful infinity pool or rooftop jacuzzi. The home is located in a secure area, and there is easy access to the main highway, just ten minutes to Tulum and close to family friendly or adult  attractions. The staff was the cherry atop this fantastic experience. Chefs Daniel and Juan made the most amazing food, and  we didn't eat one meal anywhere else. This by far the best Air b and b experience we have had. Highly, highly recommended . Thank you for making my husband's 50th birthday magical!

I don't usually do long reviews, but Maison Manatí deserves it. Every aspect of the place left my family and I in love with the place. The rooms, the architecture of the place, the amenities, the staff. First of all, I have to thank EVERYONE who helps in the house. Abdal and Elena were attentive to us at all times. They provided us with a Karaoke, and one day they even surprised us with freshly cut coconuts. Chefs Juan and Dani, WOW 5 stars, there was no food we didn't like. They customized every detail, including the fact that someone was allergic to shrimp and I was allergic to gluten. It always seemed like we were dining at a luxury restaurant. The beach is stunning because the Zargazo does not reach it. This is important in this era where the entire Riviera is full of it. I would definitely stay again and my family would also stay with you.

No suelo hacer reviews largos, sin embargo la Maison Manatí se lo merece. Cada aspecto del lugar nos dejó a mi y a mi familia enamorados del lugar. Las habitaciones,la arquitectura del lugar, las amenidades, el staff. Primero que nada tengo que agradecer a TODOS quienes asisten en la casa. Abdal y Elena, estuvieron al pendiente en todo momento de nosotros. Nos facilitaron un Karaoke, y un día nos sorprendieron hasta con cocos recién cortados. Los Chefs Juan y Dani, WOW 5 estrellas, no hubo comida que no nos gustara. Personalizaron cada detalle inclusive el hecho de que alguien era alérgico a camarones y yo alérgico al Gluten. Parecía que estábamos cenando en un restaurant de lujo siempre. La playa es impactante pues no llega el Zargazo a ella. Lo que es importante en esta época donde toda la Riviera está llena de el. Sin duda alguna volvería a hospedarme y mis familia también con ustedes.

The house is beautiful, spacious, the bay is beautiful to have a swim or use the paddle boards or kayaks. The terrace has an amazing view but the jacuzzi is not hot it’s rather warm. That is probably the only thing that I didn’t like about the house. The personal in the home are great people and Daniel the chef is the best feature if you stay there. He can cook anything and everything he does is like eating at a 5 star restaurant!!!! I had a very good time at the house and will stay here over and over again!!

Thank you so much David for your very positive appraisal. We are delighted that you liked the bay in front of us, the villa, the staff and the food. We will be fixing rapidly the issue concerning the temperature of the Jacuzzi!

Beautiful house in a beautiful spot. There are many lovely places to hang out on the property - the beach, the pool, the rooftop. And Chefs Daniel and Juan were the highlight. They were friendly, accommodating, and talented. It was such a treat to have delicious home cooked meals by them.

We had a wonderful trip with two families where the children ages ranged from 6-11. The pool, the beach and protected cove were amazing. The entire on-site staff was excellent. Notably, Chef Daniel was the star of the week for our families as he made each of our meals special. He went above and beyond for our group and we are very thankful for his efforts. Accessing the house from MX307 was difficult for the van to navigate. The ~2km drive down the unmarked road could take 15 minutes to finally reach the house. The all white interior paint scheme likely requires touch ups after each stay. We did have some nice luggage and clothing fall victim when we arrived. In the end, we felt like it was a minor inconvenience for an overall wonderful trip.

We fell in love with this place. The chefs, Daniel and Juan made our stay one to remember for our lifetime. Always with a smile and friendly demeanor, they were flexible with our dietary needs. On the first day they had a large catch of the day red snapper which they grilled to perfection on the BBQ. Their food from creative salads, surf and turf, morning avocado toasts etc was absolutely delicious!!! We never wanted to eat anywhere else! La Maison Manati is a spectacular place located on the waterfront close to Tulum in a safe and quiet cove where you can walk to a beautiful cenote. The space itself is super bright and beautifully designed from an architectural point of view. The pool is accessible, right outside the living room/dining room area. There are several outdoor lounging spots, pool, waterfront, hammock under trees etc where one can enjoy the outdoors. The expansive master suite offers breathtaking views of the Caribbean sea. We did not want to leave this paradise.

Beautiful house in the perfect location. The most amazing part of the experience was Chef Daniel. He is an absolute gem. He prepared every dish we requested perfectly, was creative with a few vegan guests, and flawless in his execution and presentation. Everyone was blown away by his skills- quite possibly the best ceviche we have ever had. He was also kind and friendly and very flexible. The host was communicative and worked quickly the fix a few issues that came up. We all loved our experience and would not hesitate to recommend.

The house is beautiful, spacious, comfortable and tastefully decorated. The site is quiet and peaceful. Beyond the architecture of the villa, the highlight is the presence of two unparalleled, knowledgeable, flexible and eminently friendly chefs.

La maison est magnifique, spacieuse, confortable et décorée avec goût. Le site est calme et tranquille. Au-delà de l’architecture de la villa, le point fort est la presence de deux chefs hors pairs, compétents, flexibles et éminemment sympathiques.

This house was beautiful. What made it special was the staff. We all felt so well cared for and accommodated. I can’t say enough about Daniel and Eliana. Lovely stay!! Food was amazing! We all slept well! Pool was great! Wish we could have stayed longer!!

Thank you Erin for this nice appraisal. We were also very pleased to host you!

The stay was great. Juan and Daniel's attention was very good at always being attentive to anything we asked for and their very rich kitchen. The location is in a quiet and beautiful environment. The visit is totally recommended!

La estancia fue magnifica. La atencion de Juan y Daniel fue muy buena estando siempre atentos a cualquier cosa que les pidiéramos y su cocina muy rica. La ubicación esta en un entorno tranquilo y bonito. Totalmente recomendable la visita!

What a beautiful home and great hospitality! Went there for my 40th and from the time we arrived at the house to when we left, we were treated so wonderfully. Chef Danielle was simply great & so were Alberto & Jessica. Will definitely be coming back & highly recommend this Airbnb. So peaceful & breathtaking!!

Thank you Maria for your appraisal. The Chef, the caretakers and myself were honored to host you.

This is a rather short comment, but what else could we expect?!! Thank you so much, it was a pleasure hosting you.

A Perfect Blend of Comfort and Exceptional Service. The house is in an ideal location, surrounded by ongoing construction, yet perfectly soundproof—you wouldn’t know it from inside. The absence of TVs in the rooms, aside from the Movie room, was a refreshing change, allowing us to disconnect from technology and enjoy meaningful conversations. The true highlight was the incredible staff. Juan and Daniel, the chefs, catered to our every need with warmth and expertise, making our meals a delightful experience. Jessica and Albert, the caretakers, were always available, ensuring the grounds were immaculate and we had everything we needed. The owner was exceptionally attentive, from booking through departure, ensuring our comfort. The rooftop hot tub was always ready, and the pool was meticulously cleaned each morning. This stay was unforgettable, thanks to the impeccable service and care provided by the entire team. Highly recommend.

We all were delighted to host you. A real pleasure to be at your service and to secure you would have wonderful holidays!

Although we left early due to Hurricane Beryl, our short stay at La Maison Manati was spectacular. The house is stunning, on a beautiful landscape and includes crystal clear water. The staff made you feel right at home and the food was phenomenal thanks to Chef Juan and his team. We were very sad to leave early, our own choice, but I promise we will be back in the near future to ensure we take in all Tulum has to offer.

We are a family of 7 (kids range from 14-21 years old) and this house was perfect for our trip to Mexico. The House staff was warm, kind, friendly and available but not in any way intrusive. They were quick to communicate anything that might be unexpected to us (like a maintenance person that might come through) and were on top of any small issues that came up. Like many others, the meals were the standout for our family. Not only were the meals delicious and beautifully displayed, they were able to accommodate my severe gluten allergy. From the moment we reached out, the chef was clear on the extra precautions they would take and I didn't have any issues.

The home was even more beautiful than the photos! The views from the roof are my favorite and are absolutely breathtaking at sunset. The staff were all super friendly and always helpful. Chef Juan was amazing and the food was always perfect and also displayed very well at each meal. The Hosts were always super responsive and helpful for what activities in the area they would recommend etc. The most exquisite airbnb i’ve ever been to and would recommend this villa to anybody! 10/10 all over the board.

Thanks for great stay , amazing staff , the food the two chefs made all week was unreal !!

Thank you so much Alexandre, the staff will appreciate your nice words.

I personally couldn’t join my friends on the trip but they loved the place and said that everyone and everything was really amazing.

Very quiet and pleasant friends you have! Thank you for witnessing their satisfaction. Hope next time you could join too!

We stayed at La Maison Manati over spring break and it was amazing. Exactly what we all needed. Two families with kids ranging from 5-15 yrs old, all enjoyed. Very relaxing and the kids loved the pool and snorkeling. Not a sandy beach type of location but the trade off was well worth it and known prior due to the coral line. The highlight was definitely the food and the staff. The food prepared by Chefs Juan and Daniel, was high end restaurant quality and the adaptability to our requests/desires was great. Already miss their cooking. Also any issues that we had while staying with the house, were quickly addressed by Luis. Would highly recommend.

Thank you so much Mark for your beautiful appraisal. The staff and myself were delighted hosting you and your family.

We traveled as a family - two children under three years & babysitter with four additional guests. The stay overall was enjoyable while we were there but in retrospect having paid over $20,000 for a week long vacation to have things fall short like no electricity two days in a row for 12 hours, with no air conditioning made for an unpleasant stay. The house never felt cool in 80+ degree weather that felt like 90’s with the humidity. I am always cold and usually never complain of heat. The beds were only made with a polyester blend top sheet, noticeably used blankets were available. Hot showers were sparse, with little water pressure. Laundry service was limited as delicates couldn’t be washed in fear the clothes would be ruined and ironing couldn’t be done as the iron was broken. The positives were the chefs, Juan and Daniel. The food was outstanding. Host was helpful w local arrangements. Overall, it felt like we were kind of roughing it when it should’ve been a luxurious vacation.

Dear Ashley, You are totally correct to mention the problem that occurred with the electricity shut down, 2 times 12 hours during your stay for 8 days. This was obviously due to CFE (the Mexican state electricity company), not to LA MAISON MANATI that was just the victim. Our solar panels do provide electricity in such occasions for all basic appliances, but NOT for the AC and water pumps, which are too much demanding. For ecological reasons, we have 24 solar panels and batteries, not a generator (which would be working with fuel). We will look at your other comments with high attention and fix them immediately. As for the price, you should know that there is a 40% difference between what you pay and what we get, due to booking fees and taxes, which are all calculated in percentage and are consequently particularly high for a stay of 8 nights. Thank you for your positive comments regarding outstanding food and the the help with local arrangements. Best regards,

Chef Juan and assistant chef/server Daniel were attentive, professional, pleasant, accommodating, and creative with the cuisine—which was consistently delicious. On site cleaning/repair staff Nelly and Luis were attentive, pleasant and worked promptly and diligently to attend to any cleaning issues and issues with the pool and (after a brief area power outage) AC and WiFi. Stefan was incredibly helpful coordinating various things, including transport services (which we recommend over car rental). The architecture of the house was not only beautiful but thoughtfully designed for function and to maximize the beautiful views. The workout room and rooftop for morning exercises were wonderful. And we greatly enjoyed the fun Día de Muertos themed art throughout. As with any vacation house on the ocean (we have one), sun and sea air can take a toll on outdoor furniture. The various outdoor chairs and tables could benefit from a power washing and rooftop cushions from repair/replacement.

Thank you Richard for your great appraisal. We will make sure to improve everything constantly.

The house , setting , and views with pool and beach were fantastic. But what set this place apart ws the staff! Juan and Daniel prepared meals which were typical food for the country . Flavors you would find in upscale restaurants. Not to mention they would offer to cook whatever we wanted! Always with warm smiles and instruction for food prep-fun. Luis and Nellie caretakers of the property completed the team. They were available affable and efficient to handle the small incidents. In conclusion the property was fantastic although pricey (compared to typical) was a dream come true family vacation. The clincher was the team the chefs and troubleshooters made the experience as if home - without the drudgery was in one of the most beautiful settings we have been in the world.Thank you for giving our family this opportunity!

"One of the most beautiful settings we have been in the world. Thank you for giving our family this opportunity!"... Thank you so much for this nice conclusion. The crew will be debriefed and for sure will be very happy. It is very rewarding, thank you to you!

This was by far our favorite stay in Tulum. The hosts communication was amazing, the staff (both cleaning staff and chef and staff) did an amazing job attending to all of our needs, and making the most delicious meals. The house is even more amazing than the pictures too. We barely even left the house because it had everything we needed! We will absolutely be back.

I was very pleased to communicate with you too. Thank you for your rewarding beautiful comments. Yes, come back when you want!

My family and I had the most wonderful time at La Maison Manati. The whole team was so kind, welcoming, and accommodating. The views were spectacular and the food was truly incredible.

Very rewarding for the staff, they work in order that your dreams come true! Thank you so much!!

What a peaceful and beautiful spot! We went with our extended family (four couples plus kids) and had a fabulous time. The villa is beautiful - sparkling white throughout. Chef Juan and Daniel were truly exceptional. They made amazing meals everyday and were very flexible. We were able to sit back and relax and enjoy ourselves. The rooftop is awesome. We had sunset happy hours every evening and the view was breathtaking.

Very happy you had such a good time at LA MAISON MANATI. Come back soon!

One of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed. Super private beach and great snorkeling. Everything you can possibly need. Amazing staff, very friendly and accommodating. The private chef meals were all so delicious. I hope to be back one day!

Your words are truly rewarding, especially for my staff. Thanks a lot!

The photos don’t do this place justice. The house and views are 10/10. The chefs and maid are amazing as well and make you feel at home the entire stay.

This is really really nice to read that the photos are under reality, as so often photos of properties are taken with wide angles and are retouched! Thank you so much!

This home and setting are spectacular!  We visited for a friend's 50th birthday party and this property was perfect.  With Chef Juan, Daniel, the house team of Yessica and Alonso, and Stefan the e-concierge, they were very accomodating and made our stay so relaxing.  We didn't want to leave with the ocean steps away, beautiful landscaping, shaded area with a hammock, the pool, and the rooftop for sunsets.   We walked the beaches daily, and this time of year was very quiet, which we all enjoyed.  The reef in the ocean offered great snorkeling and we enjoyed taking the kayaks + SUPs out as well.   The food at the house was delicious, and we enjoyed exploring Tulum at a beach club, and a couple of dinners out.   We all hope to  have the opportunity to return in the future.

Thank you so much for all your nice words, it’s our pleasure to make our guests enjoying the beautiful TULUM from our place!!

Maison Manati is perhaps the most perfect Airbnb. Not only did it match the descriptions it was in a beautiful location that was peaceful and gorgeous. The most wonderful amenity was Chef Juan and Daniel. They made us the most delicious food, stocked the house with everything we needed, and even decorated for my birthday. We had a phenomenal time and didn’t want to leave!

So happy that you enjoyed the best of what TULUM can offer, in front of the shallow and clear waters of our beautiful lagoon! Our staff enjoyed being at your service, you are welcome back any time.

This place is amazing, right out of a movie. The house is in priistine condition and well maintained. Chef Juan and Daniel prepared delicious food for us; every dish was excellent and very well served. When we woke up in the mornings, the house was already cleaned by the staff and ready for us to enjoy it. Please don't hesitate to stay at this property; It's well worth it.

So wonderful to have happy guests like you!

This place was absolutely wonderful. The chef and house staff were welcoming, accommodating and provided us with 5-star meals daily! It’s exactly as described and only 10 min to the ruins and 20 to downtown! Quiet, quaint back road with such privacy - and the rooftop was stunning!

Great that your enjoyed so much. This is just our objective!

FABULOUS… this is the best house ever! Where to start? - only private beach all around with NO seaweed!!!! - wonderful staff: Juan/Daniel are the best and most friendly cooks ever. Make every wish come true. Beto/Yesica took care of us and the house. Sooooo friendly and helpful. - we were 3 families (5+2+2) and had more than enough place inside and outside. Place is large, very stylish/good taste. Enough common areas and places to be alone (rooftop, beach, pool area, living room) - the view from the private beach (and rooftop) is beautiful. From sunrise to sunset - July/Aug is turtle time. Amazing experience 300m away - Jean-Luc is very responsive, helpful and just nice to chat with. He was very flexible as we had changing number of guests, different arrival times, and when we walked to checkout 2-3 hours later to accommodate our flight he made it possible! 1000 merci Jean-Luc - FYI: we recommend having a car to get around We hope to have a chance to come back!

So rewarding for the crew and myself to read your compliments. Your satisfaction was our ultimate goal. We are 100% happy et rewarded ! Thank you ! Come back !

Beautiful place and amazing location. Everything was better than they described.

When  it's even better than described ... we start to be proud!

The communication with the host during booking was amazing. Upon arrival, the transportation company that they recommend was easy to find at the airport. FYI, If you have people taking different flights, be sure to let the transportation company know beforehand because sometimes people are dropped off at different terminals, which are miles apart from each other. It's hard to communicate with friends at the airport because there isn't phone service at the airport and the wifi at the airport is very spotty. This was our fault for not communicating, but just a heads up so things go smoothly for you. Once we gathered our people at the airport, the drive was great. Drivers were great. Chef Daniel, Chef Juan and the property managers greeted us at the front door and helped with our bags. The place was extremely magical and huge shout out to the chefs, the food was excellent!!! We all loved it!  10 stars!!!! Highly recommend staying here. I can go on and on about how amazing this place is!

Thank you so much for your beautiful appraisal; it is our proud to make your vacation a dream that comes true. And the staff was really delighted serving you.

Beyond impressed. The hosts, Chef Juan, and Alberto, genuinely want you to feel comfortable and to enjoy their property. From the moment we entered the home, we were met with unmatched hospitality and lots of little gestures that went a long way. Chef Juan went above and beyond to ensure our stay was amazing! If you’ve never been and wondering if the pictures match the actual home, THEY DO, possibly even more so in person. We can’t wait to go back!

Thank you Stephanie for such a nice appraisal. The staff enjoyed hosting you. You are indeed very welcome to co me back

Our bachelor party. We loved our stay! Sitting poolside during the day, and up on the roof and in the hot tub at night. The beach is not a traditional soft sand beach. Bring water shoes if you can because it is all rocky! The location is really great to relax and be left alone with the people you are there with. It is 20 minutes out from Tulum Town which is good for shopping and bar hopping. It is 40-50 minutes from the beach club area in Tulum. We managed that distance fairly well, by becoming friends with taxi drivers and getting their numbers. The only complaint is that we did not have WIFI and was not notified that the WIFI was out until we got there. None of us really needed WIFI and we were pretty focused on hanging out with each other so we didn’t melt down. I think the whole streets WiFi went down so it was not the houses fault. We were given a dinner to make up for it. We had Juan as our chef and Diego working alongside him. We absolutely loved the food, and they are great!

Pictures did not do it justice! From the time we walked in the home for the first time to the time we walked out, it was pure perfection. The house was beyond stunning. The staff was absolutely incredible. Chef Juan and chef Daniel were out of this world. I have never experienced such Incredible food in my life. I wanted to take them home in my suitcase! The house managers Alberto and yessica were amazing as well and kept the home in tiptop condition always and everyone always had a smile on their face. I cannot say enough positive things about this home and this experience. Just like other reviews, the only negative thing I could say is the bumpy road on the way to the home. I hope that someday that could be fixed because it is about a 15 minute drive of a very bumpy road. In all reality, you could go there and never want to leave until you have to go home. It will be a time I will already remember to celebrate my 50th birthday! Thank you!

Hi Liz, Nice place, overall pleased with the experience. Would have to say that the best part of our stay was how attentive your house staff were and in particular chef Juan and his kitchen mate were pretty amazing. Hope they fix that bumpy road soon! Hope this private review helps.

The villa, the staff and the communication from the owner was all top notch.  The villa itself is even more beautiful in person and the grounds keeper and chef made us feel so safe and welcome.  Highly recommend.

I was very pleasant for the staff to welcome such a nice and peaceful Yoga Retreat!! You are welcome back, as often as you wish!

The staff was amazing! Juan made the entire experience!!

Thank you so much ... we might have the best Private Chef among all Riviera Maya villas !!! ;-)

I would recommend to stay here for sure.  The staff was amazing and Alberto was always there when you needed something.  Beautiful home,  very clean has everything you need.  The chef and helpers were awesome ama great food.   They went over beyond.  Would come back here for sure.

It would be difficult to overstate the magnificence of this home. From the location, to the comfort, to the graciousness of Chef Juan, Chef Daniel, and on-site house managers Alberto and Yessica, we enjoyed an all-time great vacation. Our extended family (including three children, ages 5, 3, and 6 months) enjoyed every moment of our week-long visit. (And, in the unlikely event that your group is as large as was ours, please know that there's TERRIFIC additional lodging -- Tulsayab Luxury Development -- just a 2 minute walk from the house. Liz was kind enough to provide us that tip for two members of our family.) Put simply, if you're looking for a spectacular Airbnb experience, your search is over. We'd return in a heart-beat! (Special appreciation and gratefulness for Juan, Daniel, Alberto, Yessica and their hard-work, kind spirit, and good humor. They're absolute gems.)

Great place to stay. Very clean. Excellent communication from house staff and chef. The food was amazing! Only downfall is the long dirt road you need to take to get to the Airbnb once you get off the main road. But after a few times you just get the hang of it.

Most magical week ever! Heavenly home with more than you can imagine! The skilled staff had everything clean, fresh towels, perfectly cleaned inside and out!  The two chefs were magnificent out meals were beautiful and amazing  we are all gourmet, and there wasn’t any thing that wasn’t most delish ever! Seasoned perfectly and never too much salt or hot spices! Just a beautiful forever memory!   Thanks for the warm hospitality, immaculate rooms and restful place we will never forget!  Perfect for family of 12  much privacy and places to be alone among many people! Ideal location with so much to do all around Tulum for all ages!  A dream come true!  Mary Elizabeth Smith Jackson MS and

Amazing, sometimes when it says chef included you never know what you are going to get.  Upon arrival Juan the chef and Daniel were creating food, smells, and taste we couldn’t believe.  The rest of the team was super helpful.  I will definitely be revisiting this houze.  5 Stars

Really amazing!  The house staff Mario and Jessica were super!  Juan and Daniel were the best chefs ever!  Truly amazing from start to end... we didn't want to leave!

La Maison Manatí is a gem!  The house, location, architectural details, staff, cleanliness, comfort and of course the food, service, presentation and aims to please by Juan and Daniel were all absolutely perfect!  Our family of 13 had a perfect stay.  Thank you Liz, Juan, Daniel, Mario and Jessica!

This was the best Airbnb I have ever stayed at! It was a group of us and we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The host Liz and the concierge were always reachable and they gave amazing suggestions of where to go and things to see. They even arranged transportation for us whenever we left the property. The entire staff were so nice throughout the stay.  Now let’s get into the Chef - Juan!! He is amazing. He prepared pretty much all our food throughout the day and it was spot on every time.  The staff even did our laundry and cleaned all of our rooms daily. Overall we loved our stay and would definitely come back again!

la Maison Manati is exactly as described. The architecture is amazing the location is in a secured private community with one of the best cenotes. The beach is filled with seashell treasures and marine life. The best part of our house experience was having chef Juan and chef Daniel cook for us and they would do any grocery shopping we needed. No bugs/no seaweed/internet was good too! Traveling with our party of 5 adults and 5 children under 7 yrs of age, our concern was covid exposure and safety. The house was a perfect fit for that because it is very safe & beautiful neighborhood and having the chefs do all the cooking and shopping for us we never had to go anywhere or be exposed to anyone. The staff were so friendly and always wore a mask around (which we appreciate very much). Thank you for hosting us!

We had a super experience! The house is beautiful, super comfortable and well maintained (as seen in the photos) and if there is anything that stood out and made a huge difference were the chefs Juan and Daniel. It was like living in a very high-end restaurant every day; their menus, their kindness and helpfulness and especially how they would do anything to make guests feel comfortable and satisfied. Simply put, geniuses of cooking and empathy. Also so Mario, when we needed him he was there. Congratulations and thank you!!!

Tuvimos una súper experiencia! La casa es hermosa, súper cómoda y bien mantenida (como se ve en las fotos) y si hay algo que destaca y marcó una enorme diferencia fueron los chefs Juan y Daniel. Fue como vivir en un restaurante de muy alta gama todos los días; sus menus, su amabilidad y lo serviciales y especialmente cómo harían cualquier cosa por hacer que los huéspedes nos sintamos cómodos y satisfechos. En pocas palabras unos genios de la cocina y de la empatía. También así Mario que cuando lo necesitamos ahí estuvo. Felicitaciones y gracias!!!

We had a large group of 12 stay at La Maison Manati, and we had a great time. Liz communicated well and answered any questions quickly while we were booking. The road leading to the house can be bumpy, so just be aware. However, they were actively fixing the road during our stay, so it may get better in the future. The house itself is very unique and comfortable, with plenty of towels, kayaks, snorkel gear, and water shoes for use. Our concierge Mario did a great job of cleaning and answering questions whenever we had them. He was always available via text and made sure we were checked-in properly. We even had one person in our party arrive late, and Mario made sure to let her in and gave her a tour of the house while we were out. Chefs Juan and Daniel were amazing as well. I honestly liked their food more than what we ate outside the house. If you're not sure what to eat, they can give you suggested menus. If I could go back in time I would ask them to make fresh churros every day. The house and pool are as amazing as the photos look. What takes this booking to the next level is the kindness from Mario, Juan, and Daniel.

Our group of 12 had an amazing time and we have no complaints. The Villa was extremely well maintained daily by the staff and very clean. The chef's Juan and Daniel spoiled us everyday with their amazing food and drinks. We cannot wait to come back!!!

We stayed here with a group of 12 for a bachelorette party. As you can imagine, we had many questions when planning a trip for a group this large. Liz was always responsive to questions before and during our trip - no matter how big or small they were. The house staff, Mario and his wife, made sure all of our needs were taken care of during our stay - from blowing up our pool toys and arranging taxis into town to always keeping a spotless house and carrying our many suitcases up and down the stairs for us. The Chef, Juan, and his assistant were an absolute pleasure. With a group of 12 ladies, we had several dietary restrictions to deal with. Juan never missed a beat, and the food was amazing. They also made daily trips to the store for food and drinks, so we always had everything we could need. I would stay here again! My only comment that is slightly less than positive (and obviously outside of the AirBnB's control) is one that others have also mentioned - the bumpy dirt road leading to the house. We made several trips into Tulum, so we got to know this road well. I think it was worth the 10 minutes of bumps, but I wanted to mention for those who are planning to venture into the town and get a little car sick. Other than that, I really have nothing but positive things to say about our trip, and I wished we could have stayed longer!

I could never write enough good things about La Maison Manati. Juan, Daniel, Mario, and the entire staff were INCREDIBLE. I’ve never been treated so well on vacation and that’s after staying at private ritz Carlton resorts with your own butler. I am so sad to leave. The only suggestion I have is for the owner/manager to give more guidance on how much to tip the staff. They did SO AMAZING and I just hope I tipped them enough. So it could be nice for them to give suggested tip amount. The food was some of the best meals I’ve ever had. I let Juan choose everything and he NAILED IT

We enjoyed a wonderful week at La Maison Manati. Everything was good and the staff of the house were amazing. Chef Juan and his assistant Daniel were so kind and gracious. A couple of things to note that we were not aware of and would have liked to know: - The house is quite a long ways from town. To get to Tulum the Taxi was $50 USD one way for a small car and $75 USD one way for a van. - The AC to all of the rooms is turned off during the day to conserve energy. So it gets quite warm inside during the day. - There are only two rooms with queen/king size beds. The other four rooms all have two small beds in them. This was an annoyance for a group of 5 couples. - The water in the showers does not get hot. I enjoy a cold shower so I was Ok but some in our group found this very disappointing. - Some of the power outlets are turned off during the day to conserve energy so if you leave items plugged in to charge, they may not actually charge. The staff also goes around unplugging anything plugged in; we returned several times to laptops that were dead because someone unplugged them or turned off the power to that room. - The hot tub does not actually get hot. - You are not given a key to the house. It felt odd to not be able to lock the door when leaving but we let the staff know we were leaving and all was fine. - The mattresses are quite stiff and unpleasant. - The internet is very slow. This is common in Mexico but we had hoped since it was such a high end house that it would have better connectivity. Don’t plan on streaming any type of video or working remotely. We still had a great time during our week at the house but we would have liked to know the above information ahead of time to prepare and plan accordingly.

Our group had the most magical time. The home was immaculate, the staff was friendly and chefs Juan and Daniel were superb. This was one of the best vacations we’ve ever been on. Will be booking our trip back soon!

This house is an absolute DREAM! We loved everything about this house! The amount of detail put into this house is inexplicable. The amenities were great and truly this was one of the best vacations I've ever had specifically because of this house. The house staff were phenomenal and very accommodating. They were super helpful with everything that we needed and gave us just the right amount of space we needed to enjoy our stay. Liz was super responsive. The chefs (Juan and Daniel) were a dream team! I cannot say enough about this house. We cannot wait to return in the future because we certainly will be back!

❤️ This was the best vacation ever or thus far in my life.  My group of 10 were in awe of the house and the amenities.  Juan and Daniel rocked it every breakfast and dinner.  Their meals were out of this world!  And of course they left the kitchen spotless after each meal. Mario and his wife made sure the pool area and house were clean each and every morning. The service was phenomenal.  The pool and the paddle boards/kayaks were great to have and used often. The rooftop deck was our after dinner go to fir a nightcap and stargaze.  My group of 10 would do it all again in a heartbeat 💓

Wow! This was one of my best family vacations. We spent a full month in this breathtaking home, the ocean view is incredible. The chief Juan and Danielle made us unforgettable meals with new dishes every day. Mario and his team took care of every need we had. Liz was really great to work with on the reservation. The house itself is a piece of art, we enjoyed the hot tub, the morning ocean view, the hammock and the main family room. Thank you for an unforgettable vacation! Sally

Staying at La Maison Manati was one of thee best group experiences any of us have ever taken. Each part of the trip felt like a tiny little getaway. Whether you wanted to relax in or by the infinity pool outside, go snorkeling or kayaking in the ocean, or even relax on the rooftop in the hot tub, every part felt surreal. From the amazing views to the unbelievable service, all of our expectations were met and exceed. Our chefs, Juan and Daniel, were very outstanding and accommodating. The selection of meals from their menu were absolutely delicious and if something else wanted to be requested or made in lieu of, they were more than happy to make it for us. The presentation of every meal felt like fine dining. We’d also like to thank the cleaning crew/maid service for making the house and pool area always spotless. They did a great job with making sure everything was clean, from the freshly made beds to the clean floors, they did a phenomenal job! Mario was very helpful for any issues that we had. Mario was quick to respond with any help, concerns, or questions that we had. *There were a couple of things that had arose but they were immediately taken care of* You won’t be let down by booking your stay here, it was truly worth every penny and we hope to book the place again in the near future! Thank you again to everyone who had a part in making our trip such a memorable stay. Follow everyone on Instagram below to help show support! @lamaisonmanato @juan.calixto.944 @daviddanyrame

This house is beautiful. The pictures are very accurate. I cannot state how amazing chef Juan and Daniel are. They made our stay over the top with their service and attention to detail. The only negatives I would have to say are: the beds and bedding. Not the most comfortable bed with small and limited pillows. Everything else felt very luxurious.

Man oh Man! I don’t even know where to start at. Our stay at the La Maison home was Magical. From the time we walked in Mario and Juan were there to greet us. It was our bday extravaganza and they had our rooms decorated with fresh flowers, Champagne, and fruit. Our chef Juan seriously had the best food we’ve ever tasted. Every single thing he created was fresh, from the salsa to the juice. I felt like my body was on a detox with all fresh food because nothing was processed. We had 2 meals per day and he didn’t disappoint one time. Juan went out and purchased everything we wanted. Mario was amazing, he answered every text message and call. One of my friends had an injury and he massaged the swelling down. He was there at our every call. He went above and beyond the call of duty. We wanted to take the entire staff back with us!! Thank you La Maison, we will be back!

This house was wonderful! It was beautiful with thoughtful touches. The chef , Juan, made incredible meals and our stay was excellent. Would definitely recommend this property!

The house was breathtaking! Juan is an excellent chef and was very on point with everything we needed at anytime given. He would go to the store every single day to buy our groceries. His food was fresh at all times. Mario (house manager) and his people are very nice. Anything we needed like calling for a taxi ride or even getting our clothes ironed. They were there to take care of it. The only thing that was a downer and maybe we should have asked Mario was the jacuzzi on the rooftop. The water didn’t get hot at all. So it wasn’t used as much as we would’ve liked to. But all in all I definitely would come back!

Wow! All I can say is if you have the opportunity to stay here DO IT. The house itself is beyond incredible. It sits right on the beach and you can hear the sound of the ocean from some of the bedrooms. AC units in all the rooms keep you comfortable while you sleep. Kayaks,  paddle boards and the infinity pool give you plenty of options when it comes to enjoying your time in the sun. The staff that works at the house takes it to the next level. Mario was so attentive and made anything we requested happen at a moments notice. Neysi kept the place spotless! When it came to the food, Chef Juan & Daniel knocked it out of the park! Juan made countless trips to the store to make sure we had what we needed. His food was amazing and he seemed to outdo himself every night. He can literally cook anything that you ask him to and it will be delicious. I will definitely be staying there again if I am ever back in Tulum!

A very nice place! All super clean and with an excellent service. The people who work in the house are very attentive and helpful.

Un lugar muy bonito! Todo súper limpio y con un excelente servicio. La gente que trabaja en la casa muy atentos y serviciales.

This place in nothing short of paradise. The location is great with a great restaurant and cenote walking distance away. The house itself was unbelievable and fit everyone comfortably. Chef Juan was amazing to work with and would wake everyone up with the amazing smell of his delicious breakfast to start the day. He makes an amazing espresso martini that is a must have. As for his dinner he offers so many different styles of food with everyone of them being absolutely to die for. He makes sure the stay is perfect. As for Mario and his team, they would make sure the house was spotless every morning. Mario was such a huge help with getting taxis and helping us book activities to do, as well as facilitating a truly perfect stay for all of us. Mario is an amazing guy and will help you with anything and everything you need. Do not hesitate to book this place! I will definitely be coming back to stay soon !

Beautiful house, very good location.. chef of spectacular cuisine.

Casa linda , localização muito boa .. chef de cozinha espetacular.

We took a family trip with kids (3 families) to Tulum and La Maison Manati was so perfect for our group. The house was beautiful and views were amazing but the chef Juan and the house staff made the the biggest impact on our vacation and being able to enjoy ourselves. I didn't really think about how much extra time we would have to relax by not having to buy groceries, cook and clean-up for every meal, it was such a luxury not to have to do those things and to have incredible food. We requested a wide variety of food throughout our stay and Juan and Daniel never failed to deliver meals that were beyond our expectations (he even catered to food allergies for one guest). Hopefully we can plan a trip to return sooner rather than later!

Great stay! Pot holes on the road to get to the house were horrible but other than that the home itself and amenities were great! Very accommodating

This place was beautiful as was the location. The staff was amazing. We had some issues with the air conditioning hot water. Jesus always fixed promptly. Besides that exemplary stay.

This property was beyond spectacular and amazing. A little taste of Mykonos right in Tulum !!  The staff really completes the package. Juan will whip up anything you like and is very versatile in the kitchen and at the helm of a barbecue.  Mario will help and accommodate you with most activities from kayaking, paddle boarding or just Snorkling in the crystal clear waters just steps away from the infinity edged pool in the backyard, Nancy and her team mate were in harmony keeping the house spotless and clean !!!  The rooftop jacuzzi and entertaining area is perfect for watching sunsets or having a glass of wine and talking while the ocean views are completely breath taking.  We will definitely be coming back and HIGHLY recommend this private villa with all of the amenities you can imagine. Liz is more than a SUPER host and is always available and very responsive. This entire team really made a huge impact on our experience and desire to return again !!!

Great place but the staff and the management made our stay so much more pleasurable.  They were fast, courteous,  and went out of their way to provide a 5 star experience.   The house itself was huge and offered plenty of room to congregate and spend alone time.  The pool was fantastic and the beach and ocean were within steps of the house.  We also walked to one of the local cenotes and saw and swam by a crock!!!!   Great experience....thank you again.

This is an outstanding house with a super location, great service from the staff and great style. It offered us a great escape during the pandemic. Had we needed to quarantine ourselves to just the house and its beach, we would have been more than satisfied with the comforts, the pool and the outstanding bay and reef. Juan was a great chef and was very accommodating of all our various requests. Mario and his wife did a great job caring for the house. We were a party of 12 and had plenty of room for all. We found the house to be clean, comfortable and with wonderful gathering spaces, especially the roof with the warmed-by-the-sun hot tub and outstanding view. Please don't miss out on exploring the vast and very healthy reef that is just a short swim from the house- it has an abundance of fish life. We saw tons of fish, a small eel, stingrays, reef squid and even a juvenile nurse shark. It's best to hit it whenever the bay is calm, especially in the morning or evening. We certainly hope to be back some day.

Excellent attention and service, beautiful house with an excellent location, an unforgettable experience to be able to see in a single night more than 20 turtles spawning a few meters from the house. Highly recommended , undoubtedly the most beautiful house in the region.

Excelente atención y servicio, bella casa con una localización excelente, una experiencia inolvidable el poder ver en una sola noche más de 20 tortugas desovando a unis cuantos metros de la casa. Muy recomendable , sin lugar a dudas la casa más bonita de la región.

liz place was beautiful! The staff was exceptional, available at all times ! Will definitely be staying there again!

Unreal experience! The on-site staff is nothing short of spectacular. Chef Juan and Rosie made our stay better than most resorts or hotels in the area! They made everything we wanted and fresh every day. Fresh salsa, guacamole, and fruit for every meal! Mario and su esposa made sure we were taken care of at every turn! You won’t find anything like Maison Manatí in Cancun or even in Tulum! Thanks for making our stay unforgettable!

Amazing house. Can’t express in words how beautiful it is. The chef and staff are awesome. One of the best vacations ever!!

It was a blast! We had such a great time at La Maison Manati! The chef Juan, his team and Mario and his wife have been so friendly. Thank you! The food is awesome and the house clean. They really do everything to make you happy. Highly recommended!!

Excellent experience for both adults and kids. Great service from host and personnel (particularly Juan Calixto was amazing with food preparation and service)!

I don’t even know where to start— there are not enough amazing things I can say about this house!! Every little detail was so well thought out!! It’s the most perfect getaway! Everyone on my retreat said it was the most amazing vacation they’ve ever had!! Liz (owner), Mario (property manager), and Juan (chef) were all so helpful throughout our stay! They went and bought exactly enough mats for my yoga retreat, Mario was always very quick to respond, and Juan made the most amazing (made with love) meals and he even went and got someone tampons last minute.  The house is cleaned daily, we had fresh towels, the kayaks, paddle boards, the hot tub, the Infiniti pool, the sunrises and sunsets, everything white on white, the big open windows, the Bose speaker.... I AM soooo happy to chose those house for my retreat! It could not have been better and I can’t wait to hopefully come here again! Thanks so much!

We had an amazing stay at La Maison Manati! From arrival to departure the staff was beyond attentive! The house was beautiful exactly what the picture show and more, but the real jaw dropper was the roof! Chef Juan was great.. he exceeded all of our expectations and created meals that hit the spot every bite! This is definitely a house we plan to be back at very soon!

We had an incredible time during our 4-day stay here. We came with 9 adults and 3 kids under 4 and it was perfect. Lots of room and privacy for everyone. Positives - Mario, house manager, makes your stay very comfortable. He took care of all of our requests and kept the pool and beach amazingly clean. Chef Juan was hands down the best private chef we’ve ever experienced. He was easy to communicate with, which helped us meal plan and have groceries ready on arrival. In total, it was about $20-40 per person per day for our food and groceries. So much cheaper than eating out and much more convenient. Juan is not only a great cook but a super nice guy. He even hosted a ceviche-making class for us! Mario’s wife is the housekeeper and does an amazing job keeping the big house sparkling clean every day. Such a nice perk. The pool, beach, and rooftop terrace were out of this world. The complementary paddle boards and kayaks were a nice touch too! We also walked 10min from the house to a beautiful cenote and had a nice time snorkeling there. Negatives - being a private house on the beach, it’s obviously not going to be that close to town. To get to Tulum took about 30min with 15min of that just going down the dirt road with lots of potholes to get to the highway. Not a huge deal, but plan accordingly. We didn’t leave the house more than once a day. The hot tub also never got very warm during our stay. It would have been nice if it worked. Lastly, the stairs are beautiful in the house but a little dangerous for kids. All of the bedrooms are on the second and third floors, so if you have older adults or young kids, be careful. Also, would have been nice to have plastic pool drinking cups - too much glass by the pool. Despite all that, we were blown away by the house, views, and staff. Can’t wait to come back again. Don’t think twice - just book this place. You won’t regret it. Thank you Mario, Chef Juan, Liz, and team. This was one of our best, if not the best, vacation ever.

We had a fantastic week! Beautiful house, location is great, the amenities are spectacular and the view is breathtaking. The chef Adrian and his crew were amazing. Every meal was top notch! The house staff were super sweet and accommodating. Couldn't ask for more. Definitely coming back in near future.

10/10!!!!! The staff was unbelievable Mario made us extremely comfortable and safe and was a great housekeeper. Adrian the chef was unbelievable, he prepared margaritas and tacos upon on our arrival just like our request. The house was exactly as photoed. The house is not right in tulum it is a 15-20 minute car ride but the house was so perfect for a big group and honestly staying a little outside was refreshing. If you’re with a big group / family this is a MUST. I cannot explain how amazing the staff and amenities were.

What a paradise!  The chef made incredible meals, the house was sparkling clean, the pool was so refreshing, the coral reef was a perfect playground, and the location was far enough from Tulum to feel quiet but close enough to be a fun outing.  Five stars!

Great place, great location, loved the private space, loved the house. The thing that makes a stay go from great to epic are the memories and Chef Adrian, and Pao. Mario and Neisy were epic. Renan was also always available. Thanks team for making it memorable. I hope to be back.

The house was beautiful! It’s a little far from Tulum beach (about 30 min cab ride) so going into town where the restaurants were isn’t a super easy or cheap process but there are not very many houses to rent that are closer so this really is one of the better options. The beach was rocky but the house provides water shoes so you can still go in and enjoy. We watched baby turtles being born right in front of the house and it was simply magic. Mario and his wife kept the house really clean for sure and really worked hard to make sure we had a great experience. The chef was incredible when he cooked but communicating with him was challenging. There were a few reviews that mentioned speaking to him earlier than arrival to plan meals etc but I just found that to be very frustrating. He did not respond to emails until I’d write the host and complain to them about how he was non-responsive. Then he would write me an email but not discuss any of the questions or points I had sent him in the email. I also told him in a few different emails we wanted a dinner on Wednesday night but when Wednesday night came around he acted shocked that he had to cook again. I had to pull up the email to show him in writing even though we had also discussed in person. Additionally, we told him we just wanted snacks on Thursday afternoon to be served around 4pm because we were going to be out on an excursion all day and had dinner at 8pm. He didn’t even show up until 4pm to start preparing and that was after I had to message the host and ask where he was. That being said, his food was absolutely incredible in taste and in appearance but the lack of effective communication made it a frustrating process at times. Beyond that, everything was perfect and would definitely recommend.
