This is a beautiful home, Damian and Gaby were so helpful with everything in the house and local recommendations; great job!

Hi David, It was so nice having you stay with us! Glad you enjoyed Tulum and everything it offers! Michelle

The house itself is beautiful, and the pool was a highlight- clean and maintained regularly. The cleaning team came every other day and did a great job. The host also offers multiple points of contact, including a concierge, which initially gave the impression of a well-managed, luxury property. Unfortunately, several details didn’t match the “luxury” listing or justify the price. Before arriving, I specifically asked about pool floaties and was told there were 3 available. When we arrived, only 2 were there half-inflated, covered in dirt, and left on the side of the house—completely unusable. Both TVs were damaged and didn’t work properly. The bed sheets were very worn and heavily pilled, which was disappointing and not something I would expect at this price point. The kitchen was also poorly equipped. The knives were extremely low quality and bent when trying to cut basic foods like steak or melon. There were no baking pans, mixing bowls, or Tupperware. Two burners didn't work.

Great place to stay with a big group. Lovely home and really amazing host

We had an incredibly lovely stay! I can't say enough good things about Damien and Gabby who were always immediately responsive to our every question, gave great local recommendations and made us feel very cared for and able to fully relax and enjoy our vacation. The house is stunning and was perfect for our group of 6 adults + 1 toddler. The pool and backyard are an oasis and we spent most of our time enjoying out there. The house is perfectly kept, with plenty of space and beautiful design. The location is very walkable to multiple restaurants, coffee shops and amenities and only a short ride to the beach. Would highly recommend to others for a relaxing and private place to stay in Tulum.

Just got back from Michelle's property and all I can think of is when can I go back. Beautiful house in a private stylish gated neighborhood. Gaby and Damian provides top notch service. anything you need, they will sort you out with a smile. The house is spacious, stylish and very welcoming. Bottom line, Don't hesitate, Book this house. it's fantastic.

Was seamless from start to finish. Damian and Gaby who are the property manager and concierge could not have been more helpful and more accommodating. Place is great, so many great thoughtful things at the property. Definitely book

If you are thinking of booking this place, don’t think future, it is a MUST! Where can I even start? I came here with 8 of my friends for my bachelorette party and it was an amazing experience. I spent hours looking for AirBnBs and I knew this was the right one. For starters, Michelle accommodated the dates I asked for. The concierge, Gaby, was INCREDIBLE! Helped us book all of our excursions, chef at home, answered all my question, and my many phone calls (Thank you Gaby!). Once we got to the AirBnB it showed why people rate it so high. Three stories of a beautiful house in a super secure neighborhood. There is also multiple delicious breakfast/cafe spots near which is less than 5 min walk and the entire area is super safe. Anything we needed, the property manager, Damian, quickly helped us with (and when I say quickly I mean within minutes someone was there). I could go on and on but I am just very grateful that this AirBnB made my bachelorette trip the absolute best!!

Selected this place super-last minute for a quick girls getaway for my birthday. Wow this place was AMAZING!!! The pool- I still think about it almost daily after 2 weeks have passed. Private gated community with onsite host/concierge so we felt SUPER safe at all times! From our first evening out, Gaby set up a taxi driver who essentially became our personal driver for the remainder of the trip (Miguel) who was soooo friendly, attentive, just awesome! There were lots of last minute requests on my end like decorating the house & having a private chef onsite before we check-in; which was seamlessly executed by Gaby & Damien- the dream team!! All requests were honored & pricing was very reasonable. I certainly plan on returning to Tulum and this house is a MUST!!! Of note, we lost power for a few hours during our last morning, to which we were notified by Damien well in advance, and he kept us posted with every update, and helping us in any way possible. Bless these people 💕💕💕

I recently had the pleasure of staying in a beautiful and spacious home, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the experience. The property itself is stunning, offering ample space and a welcoming ambiance that made me feel right at home. What truly sets this place apart, though, is the exceptional customer service. The hosts were always at our beck and call, ready to assist with any requests or questions. Any issues we encountered were rectified expeditiously, ensuring our stay was as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. I highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a luxurious, hassle-free stay with top-notch service. I look forward to returning in the future!

Hi Nemah!  It was a pleasure hosting your stay and helping you plan for your daughter’s bachelorette!  We hope you come back soon!

Michelle and Damian were very great hosts and super responsive to any questions we had. It was easy to communicate with them if anything was needed. They were very accommodating if we had requests and even helped with local recommendations, transportation, etc. I would definitely love to come back and rent with them again.

Chris, We are happy you are stayed with us and we were able to help you plan a succesful trip! Michelle

Such a wonderful place. We all had an amazing time at this villa. The people who worked there were also very helpful and friendly. Clear communication and instructions. Definitely one of the places you want to visit again.

Was a truly amazing experience. The communication from the team was really fantastic, they were at our beck and call through the whole trip. The home is as advertised and really nice. Across the street from the entrance of the neighborhood is an atv rental which I would encourage for some extra fun getting around town.

We had a wonderful time staying here for my sister’s wedding. The house is lovely and exactly as described. Modern accommodations with all the amenities you need to feel right at home. My entire family felt welcome from the moment we got out of the car. Gaby and Damian couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating. Gaby arranged a cook each morning to make up breakfast and she found someone to give me a pedicure as well. When my daughter got sick, Damian went above and beyond to help us locate a dr and continued to check on her even after we got home. I highly recommend staying here!! You won’t regret it!

The place is absolutely stunning! Gaby & Damien are very responsive and helped us plan all the activities for my bachelorette. They made communication so easy for all the activities (massages, cooking classes, private bartender & chef). 20-minute drive to Tulum’s restaurants/beach clubs etc. We loved our stay! Next time, we would pack tons of mosquito spray as Tulum is in the jungle! It would be a bonus if Michelle’s property had the mosquito incense repellant on the property! Overall, it was a magical place and we had the best time!

My friends, family and I had the most wonderful stay for my Bachelorette! The villa was beautiful and Michelle and team were fantastic both leading up to our trip and during our trip. Michelle and Gaby, I can’t thank you enough for all your help with planning our itinerary in the months leading up to our stay. You made the process so smooth and enjoyable for us! During our stay, Gaby and Damian, thank you for being excellent hosts!

Michelle’s place was fantastic four our family of 4!!  Great communication and attentiveness from everyone including her 24 hour property manager and local concierge.  The house is amazing, super clean, and exceeded all expectations.  Great safe location inside a quiet luxurious development. Some light construction throughout Tulum was expected but no issue whatsoever.  Pictures don’t do it justice!

Great place to stay, close to the city and to the beach. Safe neighborhood that has gaurd station to get in and out of neighborhood, outdoor place to chill by pool and surronded by trees. Best part of booking the house is it comes with a concierge,Gaby. She was top notch anything and everything we wanted was taken care of no matter the time or day. Made the whole stay very pleasant like younwere stayi g at a resort.

Great private spot, a bit far from tulum beach but we had a driver for the week and it was great. Michelle was exceptionnal, cleaner coming every 2 days and lots of room for 4 friends. We had everything needed in the airbnb too and not much to buy. Would definitely recommend.

We visited Tulum with friends and had the opportunity to stay at Michelle’s home in the Aldea Zama area. The home was perfect for us with plenty of space and a beautiful layout! We love the location with many great spots in the neighborhood to eat so close by! The area provides great access to downtown Tulum and the beach! We enjoyed our time hanging out at the house around the pool and star gazing from from the roof top patio under the beautiful Tulum sky!! The professional service Michelle’s team provided was first rate and very helpful! We appreciated Damian and Gaby’s support during our stay!!

We loved staying at Michelle's beautiful villa! It was truly an oasis and made our stay in Tulum so special. The house was immaculate, the pool area was wonderful and the roof was stunning! Our check in was very easy and the location was close to the beach! Communication was very easy and our property manager Damien was such a pleasure! He gave us great recommendations and made us feel truly at home.

The concierge and property manager are what really made this Airbnb become a luxury peaceful stay. They helped coordinate shuttles, day trips (cenotes and yacht), dinners (taboo, PPP, casa negra), bar tenders, and private cooks needed. I stayed with a group of 7 for a bachelorette and it was everything I could have dreamed of and more! Everything on the listing is accurate

10 outta 10! We commented to each other daily about how great of a job Gaby, Damian and the entire crew were doing. Our family of 5 plus 1 grandparent had an amazing 10 day stay.

an absolutely fabulous booking and experience. gaby and damien made every moment of the trip stress free and enjoyable. the house is private and comfortable and a pleasure to wake up in each morning. located between the beach and the town, we couldn’t have asked for the more ideal situation. the massages and day trips gaby booked were perfect and we didn’t have to put any thought into having these great experiences. damien made sure we were wholly comfortable in the house and was such a pleasure to work with. will absolutely be back and let everyone i know know how perfect it was.

Stayed at Michelle's place with some friends, had more than enough space for everyone to be comfortable, location is great, pictures are accurate, house was clean and everything worked as it should. Thank you to Gaby and Damien, for their hospitality and attentiveness to their guests. Me and my friends all appreciated it, and had a great time. 10/10 recommend.

One of the best stays that we’ve had in recent memory. The pictures don’t do it justice and we most definitely have to give a special shoutout to our Concierge and property manager Gaby and Damian!! They were the absolute best and made sure that we had the safest and most streamlined vacation ever. Everything from private travel to and from the airport to stocking the place with groceries and lining up spa treatments (and special shout-out to Damian for letting us use his speaker!) it all made for a great trip. 5/5 recommend this stay anytime!

I can't say enough about how great this AirBnB was. I was hoping it would live up to the previous reviews and it totally did. First of a the house is beautiful!! It was very clean just like the pics. Perfect location! Could walk or bike to a bunch of restaurants and shops. Felt totally safe. New neighborhood. Perfection! But the total cherry on top was Michelle and her staff. Especially Gaby. Literally every. Single. Thing. We needed or asked for they took care of. I mean everything. From having groceries waiting for us when we got there to helping us get a private chef and getting a yacht. To recommending GREAT restaurants AND booking transport to and from AND transport to/from the airport. AND having bikes delivered and Gaby even stopping by to say hi in person and make sure we were ok. I mean literally everything- and I felt bad for asking so many questions. But they always said no problem! But me and my group were BEYOND thankful. The place was a "whole vibe". We spent lots of time in the pool, enjoyed the private chef, yacht and so much more. Thanks so so much to Michelle and her staff. THE BEST!!! I would ABSOLUTELY stay there again in a heartbeat.

This place is the place to be ! I promise. It’s very clean and a vibe all together. It’s safe and has Gabby helped set up my itinerary( including transportation and groceries ). She was so sweet and helpful . My plans kept changing every second because I was in a large group with opinionated people but gabby was so patient with me . Damian was so kind. He was always available - even when it’s least convenient to him. He even ran and did some shopping for us last day! Amazing place and service ! Def will be back here soon!

Great location and wonderful service. Home is very well kept and communication was spectacular. Highly recommend this home

Joel, It was a pleasure hosting you and your group. Thanks for recommending us that is the best reward. Hope to see you come back soon! Michelle

We had an amazing stay. The house is gorgeous. The kitchen has everything you need to cook a few meals. The concierge service helped us with everything from pop tennis racquets to cenote recommendations to a scooter rental. The neighborhood is walkable and safe. Our kids loved walking for smoothies and pastries in the morning. The pool is perfect for a family and everyone Michelle has hired is kind and super responsive. A wonderful stay in Tulum for a family.

THIS AIRBNB WAS A DREAM! I cannot thank Michelle and her team enough for how wonderful our trip was! We celebrated my bachelorette in Tulum and this Airbnb was way more than we could ask for. Location was fabulous and the house itself was BEAUTIFUL! Michelle has a whole team that works to make your stay the best. Her property manager, Damien, was so good to us! He was available 24/7 and made us feel so comfortable and cared for! He truly is an amazing individual, inside and out! Anything we needed, he was there to accommodate! He helped us get all the things we needed, and went above and beyond- he even took us to the bank and picked up groceries for us! My sister, Michelle and her team organized decorations as a surprise to me. They also assisted us with a driving service that felt safe and was always on time. They have an amazing cleaning service that keeps your home in excellent condition as well. Communication is amazing, if you need towels, a hair dryer, if there is anything wrong what so ever, they are there to help you instantly! I would recommend staying here to EVERYONE! Don’t miss out on this Airbnb, it was the best experience of my life! Not one bad thing to say, they are truly amazing and I can’t wait to come back if we ever visit tulum again! Xoxoxoxo

Deanna, Thank you so much for trusting us with your bachelorette party, we are happy to help make it special! Come visit us soon! Michelle

Michelle’s house and staff was amazing. The house was beautiful, spacious, and perfect for our bachelorette group of 10. The staff was amazing. Gaby, the concierge, was very helpful and responsive. She helped us book a private chef, transportation to and from the airport, transportation around Tulum, grocery delivery, and more. She gave us great recommendations for beach clubs and activities too. Damien, the property manager, was so helpful as well. He brought us a speaker when we forgot one and free cervesas! The trip went so smoothly because of Michelle and her staff. We felt very safe in the gated community. The house was located in Aldea Zama, about 10-25 min from Tulum beach town. There were restaurants and stores walking distance. The only thing that would’ve made this trip better was if the house was on the beach so we could walk to the beach strip, but it worked out with the transportation they helped us book. I would absolutely stay here again and would recommend anyone going to tulum to stay!

If you’re in between booking a house for a large group or small, your search is over. Just book this one. As MOH, I planned a bachelorette for 9 girls. This house was seriously the best, and omg… could not have done it without Gaby. She literally organized everything, decorations, chef, boat, restaurants, all transportation. Everything was PERFECT. House was stunning, location was great, super safe. Promise… just book this one !!!

Mckenzie, Thank you for taking the time to review us! We enjoyed hosting you and your group! Michelle

Absolutely amazing home, inside an incredible and very safe community

The house is stunning, the staff of La Privada is attentive and kept the property spotless. Michelle and Gabi are both extremely attentive and communicative.

Hi Gretchen, We are happy you loved the house, we hope to see you soon! Michelle

Diego, Muchas gracias por hospedarte con nosotros! Michelle

This house was amazing!! Best trip I’ve done. We hired a private chef @motiprivatechef. Gabi the coordinator was amazing. So sweet and attentive to all our needs.

Our stay was absolutely wonderful!! The house is beautiful!! The La Privada neighborhood felt very safe, with everyone having to show ID and provided QR codes to enter the neighborhood. Michelle is very communicative and responsive! The concierge, Gaby, was nothing short of amazing! Gaby was beyond helpful! I cannot thank her enough for helping create such a wonderful trip!! She assisted our group with everything- setting up transportation, reservations, and even covid tests. She was very easy to work with :) Between her and Damien (house manager), I have never experienced such hospitality at an Airbnb!! The house was a short walk to cute shops and restaurants in the Aldea Zama area. It took about 10-20 min via car to the hotel zone (main strip in Tulum) during week nights, but on the weekends there was a lot of traffic and it took about 35-45 mins. I would definitely stay here again and recommend Casa Lydia to anyone!

The house is wonderful! It's perfect if u drive there, beautiful pool and rooftoop, perfect house to stay with some friends, and the service is also very nice and helpful!

Tristan, We are so glad you got to stay with us and got to enjoy the pool and rooftop. We hope to see you again in the near future!

This was the most beautiful Airbnb to celebrate New Years and my 30th birthday with a big group of friends! The location was perfect to get to the beach and town. With the level of security to get into the complex, I felt safer there than I have in many other places. Michelle was extremely communicative from the start. Gaby was AMAZING as well. I would HIGHLY recommend this spot to anyone looking for a great stay in Tulum!

Kelly, So glad you were able to spend your birthdan and the New Year with us! We enjoyed hosting you. I am glad you felt super safe since that is a priority of ours. I hope you come back soon! Michelle

The house is beautiful, everything new, the spaces are great, we were super attended, Gaby gave us a lot of support in everything we asked for, the cleanliness was great and the whole team wonderful. Place is great and super safe.

A casa é linda, tudo novo, os espaços são ótimos, fomos super atendidos, Gaby nos deu muito suporte em tudo que pedimos, a limpeza foi ótima e a equipe toda maravilhosa. O local é ótimo e super seguro.

Thank you Talita! We enjoyed hosting your group! Michelle

The properties are beautiful and Michelle and her concierge Gaby are extremely helpful.  We were a big group of 9 people and we really enjoyed the comfort of living in a house and venturing out for excursions when we wanted to. Michelle and her team listened to us and planned the most memorable excursions. It was a dream vacation for all age groups, including grandparents and children in our group!

Shruti, THank you so much for your kind review. We enjoyed hosting your family and helping you plan actiities for every age group in your family. Michelle

Best Airbnb experience ever. Michelle’s place was beautiful and Gaby the concierge was amazing!

Hi Raven, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I am glad you found the place beautiful and that Gaby was helpful for planning your trip! Michelle

Michelle’s houses are gorgeous. Wouldn’t have wanted to stay anywhere else. We felt extremely safe and Gaby and Damian provided us with 24/7 service for whatever we needed. Claudio was the best taxi driver ever. Ask Gaby for his number on WhatsApp.

The house is beautiful! we had such a great time here. It was clean, comfortable and modern. We felt very secure here with the excellent security in a gated community. Would definitely stay here again!

Hi Kelley, We enjoyed hosting you and your family. We are so happy you felt safe and secure as it is our main priority! Michelle

Good place for a group if visiting tulum. Clean and modern.

Hi Colt, Thank you so much for visiting in Tulum! We hope you come back soon! Michelle

This place is perfect. It is located in a gated neighborhood so its safe and quiet during the night. Gaby is amazing she took care of us the whole time answering any question we had. She gave us contacts for taxis, chefs, vehicle rentals so we wouldn’t get ripped off by locals because they will take advantage of you. Definitely recommend staying here to anyone.

Hi Luke, I am glad you enjoyed your stay at aldeakaantulum. We were happy to host your group. Hopefully we will see you again soon! Michelle

First off,  Gaby is the nicest and sweets person ever. She took care of me and my friends with the upmost respect and everything we needed. The house exceeded my expectations  and we even got to check in earlier than planned. Gaby was constantly in contact with us throughout our stay and organized all our transportation and reservations. The house is located in a gated community and just a short  10 min drive to Tulum beach. I would recommend either taking taxis or scooters as nothing there is walking distance. I would love to come back for longer and stay at Michelle’s home again. Thank you so much!

Christian, We were happy to exceed your expectations and that we were able to provide extra services for you and your group. Come back and visit us soon! Michelle

Super recommended! As seen in the photos, and the service is immediate and personalized!

Súper recomendada! Tal cual se ve en las fotos, y la atención es inmediata y personalizada!

Ana, muchas gracias por tus comentarios. Esperamos regreses pronto! Michelle

The house is very nice, just like the photos and the attention, (gaby) super!! It's worth it. Just be patient because the entrance to the neighborhood is very strict.

La casa esta padrísima, justo como las fotos y la atención, (gaby) super!! Vale muchisimoooo la pena. Solo tengan paciencia porque la entrada a la colonia es muy estricta.

Poncho mil gracias por tomarte el tiempo de ponernos un review. Disfrutamos mucho tenerlos en casa! Michelle

The home is exactly as seen in the pictures! It’s in a very nice community with excellent security. But more importantly Michelle has staff available to her guest. Gaby and Ivan went way above and beyond for us. I have never had an experience like this with an Airbnb rental! Thank you Gaby and Ivan for making us feel more like family then guest and for making our time in Tulum so memorable!

Hi Ilene, Thank you for your kind words. Gaby or I are always available to our guest. We are so happy we made your airbnb experience memorable and we hope we can help you make more memories in the future. Michelle

Casa Lydia was amazing❤️❤️ We felt so safe in the gated community where they check your ID everytime they go in. The house was so beautiful we really felt at home. Gaby helped us plane pretty much everything from the covid test to transportation from the airport. We would definitely stay again.

Taina, I am so happy you enjoyed casa Lydia and that you felt safe as that is our number one priority! We were also happy to help you plan your trip and activities and can't wait for you to come back an visit us! Michelle

What an incredible experience! This property is so much more than a beautiful house, the listing includes an entire experience that goes well beyond 5 stars. I can't recommend this Airbnb more highly and can not say enough good things about the host, Michelle, concierge, Gaby and the entire team! We were a group of 4 women visiting Tulum for a Bachelorette celebration and choosing this property was the best decision we made! The House: Absolute paradise - from the chic aesthetic décor to having everything that you need including; drinking water, ice, shampoo/conditioner/soaps, pool towels, air conditioning in every room and AirPlay on the TV for playing music to having space to spread out and relax, we loved every bit of our 4 days in this house. The Concierge: Gaby was incredible. She was so responsive and took care of all of our needs in such a warm, friendly manner. She arranged hotel transport, bicycles, in-home massages, in-home private chef, in-home COVID tests and gave recommendations on car rental. The Host: Michelle does an excellent job at managing her properties. Always quick communication and went above an beyond for us. When we had an issue, she quickly responded and sent her lovely onsite staff to resolve the issue and check-in on us. It was so appreciated and made us feel well taken care of. All of the information that was sent to us before our arrival perfectly explained everything and even included recommendations for our time in Tulum. The Community: The security in this gated community was fabulous. Everyone who worked at the gate was lovely and we felt so safe knowing that each person needed to be authorized for entry. Moti, in-home Private Chef: What a fabulous treat is was to have Moti create a phenomenal meal for us on our last night. Moti was recommended by Gaby in the informational document sent to us before the trip. As soon as I contacted Moti he was very responsive and professional. He sent us his menu selections and we had a very difficult time choosing - all looked amazing! He also offered to create a custom menu for us. We opted for the Spanish Menu and he made some adjustments for our tastes and food sensitivities. When Moti arrived at the house, he was familiar with the kitchen and worked efficiently while being a joy to talk to. The meal was incredible, from his service, presentation to the flavors and freshness. We started with a beautiful gazpacho soup, followed by a delectable Pallela each served in individual Pallela pans that felt fit for royalty all while sipping perfect sangria and topped off with a heavenly crème Brule. From start to finish, it was an amazing experience and perfect for our last night, enjoying the house together before an early departure the next day. All in all, the entire experience was wonderful and we can't wait for our next stay and will be recommending to all of our friends and family!

Becky, THanks for your kind words! We are glad you had a wonderful stay. We appreciate if you recommend us! Michelle

Michelle’s House : LYDIA is the perfect place to celebrate any occasion. A 3 story home with your own private pool and rooftop. We felt safe and secure in a gated community. My friends and I had a great time celebrating my birthday. Gaby is the best concierge. She will go above and beyond to make sure all your needs are met. Professional, friendly, and attentive. She helped to organize my birthday cake , chef services ,a luxury mixologist, and transportation service throughout our trip. It was nice to walk into the house to see the balloon arrangements in the living room and by the pool. Everything I asked she made sure it was done in a timely manner. The Chef (Javier) is an exceptional cook. We had the pleasure to request a birthday dinner and 3 days of breakfast. All the food was amazing. The smell of food woke us up every morning. His presentation and cooking skills are the best. We didn’t want to leave this private and beautiful home. The excursion you suggested really made our trip as well. A private tour of a Mayan Village , 3 cenotes , zip lining , canoeing , and lunch prepared by the ladies of the village. My guest and I really enjoyed every aspect of it. I told Gaby I will return soon. I have to stay here again. Thank you!

Drew, Thank you for your stay at casa Lydia. We enjoyed hosting you and your group. Gaby was happy to help you plan for your birthday. We hope you come back soon to Aldeakaantulum! Michelle

We had an exceptional time! The house was gorgeous as well as clean and safe. I would recommend this airbnb to everyone and am looking forward to returning. We did a private chef for dinner and brunch. Ask for Javier and Mike. They are theeee best. Gabby was amazing and she ensured we were stocked with snacks and alcohol everyday. She always made sure we had a taxi and was responsive basically 24/7. If I could give gabby a million stars I would.

We rented this villa for my bachelorette / birthday weekend and it was perfect!! Clean, pretty, secure and great location. Gabby from guest services was amazing!! Helped us with absolutely everything and would respond incredibly quick. The community is gated and has a great security system which was really important to us. Made us feel very safe and we enjoyed every second of it. Would recommend to anyone. 10 out of 10 !

Hi Kryzia! I am so happy that you chose our house for your bachelorette party! We enjoyed hosting you and your friends and are happy that you fell safe at all times in the house. I am glad Gaby with concierge was helpful in planning chef, tours and activities. We hope to see you soon! Michelle

Michelle’s place was amazing! Gaby was able to help us with all our needs which included covid testing, shuttles to and from the airport, and recommendations to the best places to go around Tulum. The house was very beautiful and looked better in-person than in the pictures. Gaby was very responsive and made me feel much better traveling to a different country!

Hi Yunus! It was a pleasure hosting you and your friends. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and that the house was better than you expected. I hope you come back soon!

Better in person. House is beautiful and super comfortable. A/C worked very well, pool was clean, beds were comfortable. Excellent vacation house, will stay here again if we visit Tulum!

Hi Karys, I am happy to hear that you found the house to be better in person. We try to provide excellent maintenance in all of our properties and I am glad you found everything working propertly. Michelle

This place is amazing! Very clean, great team of people, great communication etc. I’ve never stayed at an Airbnb that has housekeepers come in during your stay to clean. They came half way through to “freshen up” and everything was just as perfect as when we first arrived! I love this place. I’d definitely visit again.

Hi Mequana, Thank you so much for your kind review. Yes housekeeping is included every other day in the rental price. I hope you come visit us soon!

AMAZING! The house is beautiful, the windows were so clean we walked into them more than a couple times. great service and fantastic good times.

Hola Juanita, Thank you so much for your kind words. We enjoyed having you and your friends stay with us. We hope you come back soon! Michelle

This was probably the best Airbnb experience I have ever had! It was a good price and in a good location. It was a little far from the beach whenever there was traffic on the weekend (maybe 30 min drive when typically like 8 minutes). There were a few restaurants within walking distance. The security here was so good! It’s a gated community and you must show IDs to enter each time, so going with a group of girls we all felt very safe. Gaby was incredible! She was the concierge service and provided me with anything I needed. She set up a breakfast chef for us each day and a private yoga session in the house. All of these were fairly cheap too. She reached out to me about a week before the trip to start communicating. She also set up transportation to the airport so no need to do that ahead of time! I would highly recommend staying here and if I ever go back I’ll probably just book here again. We all felt very spoiled! Oh and they have a cleaning service every other day. They don’t have too many rules like some Airbnb’s do which was very nice as well. STAY HERE IF YOU CAN!😊

Hi Mackenzie, Thank you so much for the nice review, we really enjoyed hosting you and your friends! Eventhough it seems far from the beach, we are the closest residential area to the beach if you are not staying in one of the boutique hotels in the hotel zone but when traffic it can feel a lot further. Also Im glad you were happy with the level of security as it is one of our main priorities for our guest. We hope you come back soon!

Tulum is my new favorite vacation destination and this Airbnb is the way to go! The house is beyond beautiful, the pictures do not do it justice. The added benefit of the front security guards with a gated entry made us feel extra safe. They literally do not let ANYONE pass without a barcode and ID (to the point that it was a little bit annoying because I knew they recognized us. Better safe then sorry lol). The hosts were SUPER helpful (and responsive) they provided us with safe taxi contacts and acted as a concierge to make recommendations and book whatever tours or restaurants reservations we wanted. Both the house and the hosts exceeded our expectations l (better then even most 5 star hotels). The only “trouble” (if you can call it that) was not anyone’s fault. The house is not available on the maps just yet, because the community is so new, so directions were a bit challenging the couple of times we went on food or bikes. Most taxis seemed to know where it was located though. TIP: I noticed that Google maps were more developed in Tulum then Apple Maps so the app download is worth it. Overall it was such an amazing stay that we are talking about heading back this summer. We will absolutely be back to this home and the beautiful Tulum. Thank you so much Michelle and Gabby!!

Hi Priscilla, Tulum is indeed a great destination! We are glad you had the best time! Security is a big priority of ours to provide our guest and as you say it might be time consuming to show your QR code, we want to make sure no one can access the neighborhood except our guests. We can't wait to have you back.

Top-Shelf Airbnb! It was the location, security, cleanliness, privacy, decor, pool, service, and ambience for us. If you are a very meticulous person, this is the place for you! It was pure perfection with excellent opportunities to take instagrammable photos. Gaby was the MVP in making our vacation the most memorable and the best vacation ever. Her level of service and responsiveness before and during our stay was extraordinary. She provided us with local restaurant suggestions that were on point. In addition, Gaby provided us with COVID testing options and the testing center we selected emailed our results in a timely manner. Thanks again Gaby! Thank you Michelle for being a great host. I look forward to returning with family and friends. Side Note: The airbnb is located in the perfect location. I am happy that we rented a car from the airport to really explore Tulum and surrounding areas. The taxis are very expensive.

Hi Coretta, It was lovely to host you and your family! I am so glad your time in Tulum was enjoyable and that you were able to do everything you wanted. Gaby our concierge does an amazing job indeed, I am also happy she was able to help you plan for an amazing trip! Michelle

Michelle’s place is everything and more! Before I get to how beautiful the house is first let me say her concierge was above and beyond expectations, they helped me with everything as far as a private chef for the bday dinner, excursions, reservations, decor, anything I needed they responded quick and efficiently before arrival and during our stay. I will definitely be booking again! The house is beautiful very clean brand new. I have no complaints. Book with her period.

Hi Ashley, Thank you so much for staying with us! We were very excited to help you celebrate your big day! Our concierge service does indeed work very hard and goes above and beyond to meet our clients expectations. We are so happy you chose us and we hope you come back soon!

Michelle and Gaby are super attentive at all times, and the house is exactly the same as the photos! Super nice and super clean! We hope to come back soon!

Michelle y Gaby súper atentas en todo momento, y tiene la casa exactamente igual a las fotos! Súper bonito y súper limpio! Esperamos volver pronto!

Hola Andres! Me da mucho gusto que te hayas animado a venir y que hayas disfrutado de tu estadia! Nos encanto haber hospedado a tu grupo y haberlos podido ayudar en todo! Esperamos regreses pronto con tus papas! Michelle

A positive review does not do the justice. Michelle, Gabi and Ricardo (driver / tour guide that we were put in touch with) provided A+ hospitality, recommendations on local spots and overall service. The spot was also incredible and beautifully kept. Tulum in general is also a great place to visit for those keeping their options open across Mexico (a bit pricey, but beautiful with immaculate vibes). Also for those concerned about COVID, Gabi was able to have a testing service visit the house in a timely manner and had the integrity to refund us when we accidentally overpaid. Once again, I cannot recommend staying in this villa enough and am hesitant to submit this review because I hope it is available when I look to book my next trip!

Michelle’s place EXCEEDS what you will expect. The hospitality her and her team provide are amazing, they are there for any question you have with a prompt response, the house itself is STUNNING, Michelle had tons of recommendations lined up for us, and the location is pretty central everything! short car ride to the beach, walking distance from a little market and great restaurants. I absolutely cannot stress enough how much you will enjoy staying here. Fully intend on coming back here!

Hi Alexandra, It was so nice hosting your trip and getting to meet you. We were happy to help you for your birthday. We hope to see you soon. Michelle

Our group loved staying here. The house is even better in person. We went during the “winter ” so because you have the jungle shade, the pool was a bit chilly. Nonetheless, the rooftop has a bed an lounging area where you can sunbathe till you bake. Gaby from guest services first reached out to me a week before our check-in and made sure that we had everything from transportation to playing cards. She was there for every question and every suggestion throughout the entire trip. There was cleaning services in between which really helped us stay organized. We would absolutely book casa Lydia again. Maybe will even bring the entire family and book all the houses! Thank you so much for helping us have such a wonderful time in Tulum.

Our group had such an amazing experience and the location of our “home” away from home was right in the middle of everything. Gaby was especially helpful with all out questions and gave us the best recommendations for food and things to do. Can’t say how happy we our with how our stay went.

Hi Anthony, I am so glad your experience at aldeakaantulum was amazing! We love helping our guest have the best time and it pleases me to know that we achieved it! I hope you come back soon! Michelle

Michelles house is beautiful and in a great location. The house is located in Alda Zema which is about 5-10 mins away from the beaches and main "hotel" area. The house has everything you need for a comfortable stay.   The house is bigger in person than in photos. Would definitely recommend and looking forward to coming back

Hi Daniel, Thank you so much for your nice review. We also love the location and how secure it is in a gated community. We try to provide for everything the guest needs and more. We enjoyed hosting you and your group and hope you come back soon! Regards, Michelle

Michelle and her team were exceptional hosts. The house was beautiful and in a gated private community. Will definitely stay here next time I visit Tulum!

Hi Alex, Thank you so much for the kind words. We enjoyed hosting you and your team. We hope to see you soon! Michelle

Thank you Sean! Hope you come visit us soon! Michelle

highly recommend, felt safe & great service

Hi Jennifer, Thank you so much for recommending us. I am glad you felt safe with security 24/7. hope you come back soon! Michelle

Highly recommend! Michelle’s place has everything you’d look for in an Airbnb. Great location, incredible home with all the “wow factors”, and easy communication with the host. Would definitely stay here again.

We rented 2 of Michelle's homes while we were in Tulum and both were great.  Any problem we had was fixed ASAP and there was always someone close by if anything needed attention to.  Michelle also provided us a list with What to Do in the area where we were able to book anything from scuba diving the cenotes, fishing trips, or even a private chef to come cook for you at the home.  We had a great time and the place looks even better than the photos.  Would book here again.

Michelle’s house was incredible. The house is truly amazing and worth every penny. The house was absolutely beautiful , spacious and modern. I stayed here with 5 friends and we had more then enough space. I didn’t get to meet Michelle but she was very attentive and often responded within a few minutes. She had a house manager who was also very helpful and attentive. We also appreciated that the cleaning staff came during our trip The house is centrally located and our car rides to the main strip were no more then 10-15 minutes. The complex is very secure which made us feel safe. I would stay here again and recommend this to anyone looking to visit Tulum. Thank you so much for accommodating us!

We had an amazing stay at Michelle’s place! The place was incredible! We spent many house lounging outside by the pool. The living room, dining room and kitchen area are extremely accommodating and open. One night we had a private chef come over and cook a 6 course meal for 8 of us and there was plenty of room. If you’re looking for a spot in tulum this is the one. We can’t wait to come back!

By far the best Airbnb and host I have ever had! Michelle was more than accommodating and the place is absolutely amazing. My guest and I loved the pool and the staff is super friendly. I will be back for sure!!!! So much fun!

Hi Steven, It was a pleasure hosting you and your group. We are so grateful that you chose to stay at our house and that we could help you plan your trip. I am also glad we were able to help you track the taxi where you accidentally left your phone and that you have it back. See you soon!

Michelle’s place is exactly how it looks in the pictures, but once you get there it feels even better. It was just my husband and I and we really enjoyed the privacy, but the house would be perfect for a larger family or a friends group trip. Anytime we needed anything Michelle or the property manager were able to assist us right away. I was very impressed by how quick their replies were. Even the employees who work the guard gate at the entrance to the gated community were friendly and helpful. There’s restaurants and shops within walking distance in the community as well and the beach walk and downtown Tulum each just a 10min or so drive away. We will definitely return!

Sasha, Thank you so much for the kind review. We appreciate your staying with us, It was a pleasure hosting you and your husband and we hope you come back again!

Michelle’s home is absolutely amazing. We were already excited from the pictures, but then blown away once we arrived! It’s huge and well decorated and very private. It has everything you need. The location is nice, too, sitting between downtown and the beach. We had a minor hiccup out of Michelle’s control, but Michelle quickly and professionally handled it to our satisfaction. She’s a sweetheart. We would absolutely stay here again, and highly recommend it to everyone wanting to see wonderful Tulum!

Hi Cody, Thank you so much for your nice review, also thank you so much for being understanding with things out of our control. We enjoyed hosting your trip and hope you come back and visit us soon! Michelle

Michelle’s home was fantastic! It was centrally located and was way better than the pictures!!! Local tips and a house manager to assist with anything you need was invaluable!

Jordana, Thank you so much for the kind words. We enjoyed hosting you, I really enjoy making people experiences memorable. I am glad we were able to achieve that. Michelle

Our family booked a last minute vacation and reached out to Michelle for booking this amazing home (booked on Thursday for a stay on the following Tuesday). There were four of us in total and the house was absolutely perfect. The house is situated perfectly between the Downtown area and beach area. We came during COVID-19 and felt completely safe. It is amazing how much more advanced Mexico is in response than the USA.  Manuel was great in providing us all of the recommendations we requested even after 5pm.  I fell in love with Tulum and will be back and will definitely stay at Michelle's place again.  As a side note, my daughter thought the house was also amazing for IG photos ;)

Jonelle, Thank you so much for the nice review. We enjoyed having you and your family stay with us. Please come back and visit us! Michelle

One of the best Airbb's I have stayed in.    Everything was so perfect...from the private gated community, the house keeping services, the pool, the rooftop terrace and the fully stocked supplies in the kitchen.   Perfect for a couples retreat, family vacations and teenage girls (which I had two there).

Amazing in every way, lovely hospitality from the host, the house is perfect for families, open spaces, big and confortable. Everything new and with lovely taste. todo excelte que administrador súper amable , muy cómoda la casa 🏠 Perfecta para familias

Michelle’s house is hands down the best place to be in Tulum. It’s in the perfect location between town and beach and has everything nearby that you would ever need. The cleanliness, service, decor ... all is perfect . Manuel is the caretaker of the house and goes above and beyond for anything that you need. I would book this house 10 times over. Don’t look any further this is the house to book in Tulum.

The villas were great for our large group. Manuel was available and very helpful!

Our stay at Michelle’s house was amazing and totally up to our expectations. The house has a beautiful architecture and decor, and is super well located. You can bike to almost anywhere from there. The neighborhood is surrounded by jungle, it’s beautiful. Michelle was also very helpful in giving us advice and quickly answering all our questions. We 100% recommend this rental!!

A great place to stay. Everything is as described, clean, light  and very spacious. The details, plants in and out of the house, the nature are soothing. We enjoyed the airy, light atmosphere, so many views into the garden, trees. A place for anyone enjoying style. Guarded neighborhood also makes one feel save. Once the area will be finished developed, it will be awesome. Michelle had taken time to collect very helpful and various tips regarding many aspects. Many a thanks to you! We would love to come again and again!

Simone, Thank you so much for spending your vacation in Tulum with us. We enjoyed hosting your vacation. I hope when you come back you stay with us! Michelle

Absolutely loved staying at Casa Lydia, the home even more gorgeous than in the pictures. So much room and it was very well decorated, Michelle even helped me plan for a surprise birthday for my girlfriend. The home is located in a very nice and new secured neighborhood in the Aldea Zama. There is a great coffee shop down the street and a small restaurant and local grocery store to purchase some necessities or food to eat. We were all very happy with this home, and we cant wait to visit again!!

Hi Abraham,  We also loved hosting you and your friends! Im glad your girlfriend liked her surprise party! Hopefully you can come back soon!

We searched a lot on the sites and we decided to trust Michelle because she was very responsive to our various questions and very accurate... And I will say we did well because the house is just fantastic, the decoration is just perfect, the choice of materials is high quality, the cleanliness is impeccable and it really has all the comforts. The location is ideal as the villa is between the center of Tulum and the sea and there is no inconvenience with the noise... the site is protected by smiling and helpful people. What we really appreciated was Michelle's many tips on the beach clubs - the restaurants - the excursions that made it go wrong and make a 5-star stay Everything was perfect Michelle and we thank you for a wonderful stay.

Nous avons beaucoup recherché sur les sites et nous avons décidés de faire confiance à Michelle car elle était très réactive à nos différentes interrogation et très précise... Et je dirai que nous avons bien fait car la maison est juste fantastique, la Deco est juste parfaite, le choix des matériaux est de haute qualité, la propreté est irréprochable et il y a vraiment tout le confort. L’emplacement est idéal car la villa se trouve entre le centre de Tulum et la mer et il n’y a aucun désagrément avec le bruit... le site est protégé par des gens souriant et serviable. Ce que nous avons apprécié énormément se sont les nombreux conseils de Michelle que ce soit sur les clubs de plage - les restaurants - les excursions qui nous ont permis de ne pas se tromper et de faire de se séjour un moment 5 étoiles Tout était parfait Michelle et nous vous remercions pour ce magnifique séjour.

Yohann,  Thank you so much for the kind words, it has been a pleasure hosting you and your family. Im so excited you get to experience two of my homes! I hope you come back to Tulum soon!

Immaculate, comfortable and beautifully designed home located in the closest residential neighborhood to the beach. Our stay was quiet and restful and offered up the perfect downtime in between nights out in town or days spent at the beach. This incredible home is located in a very very safe and clean gated community close to grocery shopping, great coffee and nice restaurants. On Michelle’s suggestion we rented bikes from Ola Bike to get us around town most of the time. Taxis were also easily accessible for nights out. Michelle was incredibly helpful and very quick with any inquiries we had while in Tulum. Check in and Check out were a breeze and we were easily set up with a driver who took us back to the airport when we were ready. This was our second time in Tulum. 2021 will likely be #3 and I wouldn’t hesitate to return to this beautiful home. Thank you Michelle!

Allan, thank you so much for the thoughtful review. We enjoyed hosting you and your group as well. I was happy to help you with anything you need. I would love to host your 2021 trip to Tulum, maybe you can try one of my other homes! Michelle

This places is a beautiful sanctuary, and it's 1 of 5 houses adjoined by backyard gates that connect them all if you need to expand to bigger groups. 7 of us stayed here and we all wish we could write a review. They nailed every last detail - cleanliness, service, design, value, etc. We all want to build a home like this of our own. You could not find a better place in all of Tulum for the money. Stay here ASAP before they're fully booked up or dramatically increase their prices to meet the demand. You won't be sorry.

Chris, Thank you so much for the nice review! We were so excited to host you as our first guest and I am very happy to see that we share the same feeling for the property. Thank you for choosing us and hope you come back soon!

Michelle’s place was amazing very comfy but without losing the jungle feel.  Brand new construction and has everything you need for a great vacation.  The place where her house is located is very nice and we liked that has security 24/7.  Michelle also helped us with some great recommendations of tours.  I highly recommend Michelle’s house!

THank you so much!  I hope you visit us again soon!
