Good Beach Stay near Tulum

We had a great experience at this home. Conveniently located in an area that is quiet but has walkable options for a meal at nearby small hotels. Sandy beach at the property is very good, but it is rocky at the waterline -- so it isn't good for wading or playing in the water without using a kayak to go 100M off shore. Everything was in fine condition: working A/C in the bedrooms, kitchen appliances and layout is good, bathrooms/showers are nice, WiFi. No A/C in living area, but fans and open windows kept area comfortable during our January visit.

Fabulous location and people

This is our third time staying here and never disappoints. We won’t stay anywhere else. Yobany, Louis, Grace, Edith and the one lady who comes every day to cook breakfast and clean are all amazing! We love them and that’s why we love coming back.

Best kept secret

This is my second time staying here and it is truly a magical place. There was 5 girls and we had plenty of room. The beds are very comfortable and love having the privacy of the 2 upstairs rooms. Our chef was amazing and cared for us the whole week. It feels like you have your own private beach. I can’t wait to go back!

Best House in Tulum!

We just got back from our stay at Casa Playa Azul and are sad to not be waking up to fresh fruit platters, gorgeous ocean views, and a sparkling clean house that we didn’t have to clean. I cannot say enough nice things about the house, the staff, the location, the meals, the beach or the amenities to truly do the place justice. This is my second time booking with Frank (my girls group had booked Casa Soledad in 2022) and the experience was the same so we knew how great it would be. Both properties are just stunning and I can’t say if I like one better than the other, though Soleada has one extra bedroom and bathroom. Either way, you will have a great time at Tankah Shores!

Casa Playa Azul Wedding Retreat

This property has everything our family needed during our stay to celebrate the wedding festivities in Tulum. Luis and the housekeeping/cooking team were welcoming and helpful from arrival to departure. The meals were delicious and grocery service was seamless. Being on the beach with the ocean breeze and having the pool to lounge in was the best. Wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Tulum. Gracias!

We love it here!

We will never stay anywhere else. We have stayed here twice with our whole family and my mom stays here very time she travels to Mexico. The house is comfortable and beachy, location is central and convenient, but mainly we stay because we love Yobany, Edith, Luis and the rest of the people who work there. Also, don’t spend money on eating out - the food at the house is better than any restaurant!!

An unforgettable and amazing experience!

We arrived and were greeted by the host family, that unbeknownst to us we would grow to deeply care about. It is very obvious they take pride in the care of the property and those that stay there. The grounds were impeccable, the food was delicious and the home was very clean and well maintained. It was out 1st time traveling to Mexico and they certainly represented! We will forever remember them and the fantastic vacation memory that they created for us and our adult children. Sincerely, The Marx Family

Beautiful Private Villa !

This beautiful villa did not disappoint. We enjoyed plenty of use with the kayaks and paddle boards. I hope to make this a yearly stop. Staff was great. We did not take advantage of the cooking option, mainly because our kids, 10/14/17/20 all eat different foods and it is easier for us to cook, also checked out a lot of the local cuisine. Thank you to Frank, and all the staff. Couldn’t have ask for nicer people. Gerry

Incredible in All Facets!!

We cannot say enough great things about our stay at Playa Azul! I agree with others pictures don’t do it justice. It is spotless and very well maintained. The caretakers are friendly and helpful and work really hard! The beach in front is super sandy and kids played volleyball every day. We used the kayaks every day and snorkeled off the beach as well as swam at Casa Cenote. Food was very good and easy to order both meat and food for my vegetarians. I cannot wait to go back. Gracious Yobany and team and Frank!

Family review

The house is spectacular. Clean, on the ocean, beautiful view. Having meals made for you is a true luxury, eating on the beach morning and night. You have to plan your own day excursions for kids and adults . It is hard to swim in the ocean because it is rough. We were able to take the kayaks out. Board games and hammocks to relax in. Would recommend renting a car as we spent a lot on taxi services. Staff is friendly and available to help all days except Sunday.

Family Retirement Get-Away, a fantastic venue

About 1/2 our group retired last year so we chose a warm destination for a the congrats party. We couldn't have chosen a better locale. Lolli was fantastic as our daily cook & housekeeper. Fresh towels and linens when requested were a very nice touch. The grounds crew were always working and pleasant, leaving us do just lounge, swim, snorkel, or kayak to the reef. This property was one of few that had a natural coastline to help keep the Sargassum away so it didn't accumulate along our beach, making our stay even more enjoyable! All in all, a most positive and memorable experience. Thanks again to Lolli, Roberto, Brian, & all the others who had a hand in making this a fantastic experience!

We loved our vacation at ...

We loved our vacation at Tankah Shores. It was everything we thought it would be and more. Edith is a fantastic cook and housekeeper. I highly recommend getting the Grande Lobster. Her prices are much better that the resturants. There is everything you need at the house- kayaks, snorkling equipment, life vest, beach toys for the kids- I would not bring anything extra. We have always stayed at a big all-inclusive resort and this vacation was parade in comparsion. If you are traveling with children, this is the way to go. Is it so easy and relaxing. I loved putting the kids to bed and hanging outside playing cards. It was great and we can not wait to go back next year.
