We had an awesome stay there for our honeymoon. Hotel is clean, and very beautiful in the middle of the forest! Great for relaxing and disconnecting. The highlight is the service: Arturo, Jorge, and all other employees are VERY responsive and super kind, they should be very well rewarded for their exceptional work! Food is insanely good, 10/10. We loved it from the beginning, and would definitely come back! Gracias por todo!

Not all rooms have air conditioning. This was expected and didn't affect our stay, but it is worth mentioning for those not used to the hot weather from the region. WiFi is not reliable, which was also not a problem for us.

Everything. It was absolutely perfect relaxation in the jungle. The food was incredible. Especially chef Julio who did us a five star signature meal and it was perfect. Every day they went way and beyond to give us the best food ever the flavours were the best I’ve ever tasted. The staff were amazing and went out of their way to make it the most perfect stay ever. Absolutely loved the morning yoga with Gabby and the massage she gave. Dante upgraded us on her last night to a villa, which was amazing. There were so many birds and wildlife Loved every unique bit about it

As others have said-the road going to it would be a lot more easier to access if it was paved however it didn’t affect us as we just drove slowly. Air conditioning in the nests would be a cherry on top. Also bits of rubbish picked up along the road, in the front car park, and by the side of the pools (down where Frank the iguana sat ) could be addressed, however, I am a bit OCD! Also it appears they can take 30 day guests each day, which if we were the kind of people to sit around a pool all day might get a little bit busy, but from what we saw they were respectful and quiet. I love the fact they could drop you off if you didn’t have a car, but access to the bikes and them kept in better maintenance would’ve been good so we could have a bike ride

The Yellow Nest is more than a destination; it’s a sanctuary for the soul. From the moment I arrived, I felt a deep sense of peace and connection with nature. Surrounded by lush greenery and the soothing sounds of the earth, this space invites you to pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself. The energy here is serene and grounding — a perfect blend of tranquility and renewal. Every corner feels intentional, offering a space to breathe, to release, and to realign. The food was absolutely incredible — fresh, flavorful, and made with so much care. And the staff? They made the experience even more special. Their warmth and kindness made me feel like I was part of a family. The Yellow Nest is not just a place you visit; it’s an experience that lingers in your heart and spirit long after you leave. I left feeling refreshed, grateful, and spiritually centered. If you’re seeking a retreat where nature heals, the mind quiets, and the spirit rises, The Yellow Nest is your haven.

A true little slice of paradise in the middle of the jungle! The hotel is perfectly located to explore the most beautiful cenotes in the area (some are even accessible on foot or by bike, which the hotel kindly provides). The room is super cozy and peaceful — waking up to the sound of birds in the morning is just magical. The two pools are stunning, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The staff and concierge service? Absolutely amazing! Friendly, helpful, and always making sure everything is perfect. We were lucky enough to celebrate a very special moment there, and they welcomed us with such kindness and made it possible in this incredible setting. If you’re looking for a place to truly unwind, recharge, and make the most of your vacation — this is it!

We stayed for 8 days and it was probably the most relaxing days of my life. Lounging by our pool all day and relaxing was so amazing. The staff was super attentive. The food wonderful. My biggest fear with giving this review is that this place is fully booked next time we come to stay. Nothing like it. Absolute jungle bliss. We did the yoga and meditation even though it was new to us and enjoyed marshmallows over a nightly fire. If you are looking to relax look no further. You will need a car. So many beaches are close and at your finger tips. The beach hotels are loud and have music. This was zen all the way through. A very special stay and place. We will be back to recharge again.

Nothing

We stayed at The Yellow Nest for one night to celebrate my 40th Birthday. I wish we could have stayed longer. Even before we arrived the concierge contacted me with all necessary information and details on how to find them. We were greeted by Ramses, a newer concierge to the team; he was energetic and great to talk with, given welcome drinks and he also gave us a tour of the grounds after we had a quick shower to cool off! AMAZING! We stayed in a villa with a/c and a private pool. The villa was beautifully decorated, comfortable and much larger than I expected. Miguel, the other concierge, I cannot stay enough about! He had so much information about the surrounding area and the history. These two along with the rest of the staff (sorry I cannot remember names) really made you feel welcome and part of the family. We did luck out as it was low season, so they weren't overly busy! We had dinner on site and the food was delicious and nice sized portions! In the morning we had their floating breakfast (highly recommended) in a gorgeous setting. I should add that you can book the floating breakfast without staying there, and you won't be disappointed! Post breakfast Miguel took us on a cenote tour that was indescribable. Had we gone alone we wouldn't have found half the areas he brought us to in the underground paradise. We returned to Yellow Nest after visiting the cenote to take part of a traditional temazcal ceremony, led by Miguel, which left us feeling at peace and even more intrigued about the Mayan traditions. When it came time to leave, we were sad, but grateful for the connections we made, amd we can't wait to return to spend a few nights, as one wasn't enough! Thanks Yellow Nest for making my 40th Birthday one of the best yet!

This was the highlight of our trip. The atmosphere is amazing, it is an oasis in the middle of the jungle. So quiet and peaceful yet very comfortable. Beautiful nature all around. Two pools, one in the sun and one in the shade. Also a free Mayan sauna. We had the villa which was amazingly decorated, water pressure very good. We received welcome drinks when arrived. You will have to eat at the hotels restaurant but it is very very good! Prizes are fair for the good quality and amount of food. Morning yoga so fun! And most importantly - the staff were absolutely fantastic and we felt so welcome and well taken care of. Iguana’s are btw a part of the crew. There is cenotes in the area you can walk to.

The road to get there is very bad - but it is a part of the experience when you go to the middle of the jungle!

This place is truly a hidden gem - beautifully decorated and incredibly cozy, nestled right in the heart of the bush. The staff were wonderfully welcoming and kind, especially the concierge, Arturo. The way he treated us made us feel truly special! The steam bath (Temazcal) took us on a profound spiritual journey and awakened our inner healing. We were lucky enough to experience it twice at 2 PM, as arriving early and leaving late was no issue at all - even though we had only booked one night. They really care about their guests!!! Both pools were fantastic, and the food at the restaurant was absolutely delicious - especially the tropical salad. We also had the floating breakfast, which was made even more special with a sparkler surprise in the middle of the basket to celebrate my husband's birthday. The Yellow Nest is within walking distance of Cenote Taak Bi Ha, one of the most beautiful cenotes in Yucatán. If you're planning to stay at The Yellow Nest, I highly recommend booking at least two nights and enjoying both the dinner and the floating breakfast for a well-rounded experience.

The outdoor pool and terrace by our room could have used a quick clean before our arrival. The air conditioning stopped working early in the morning around 5:30 AM, which was a bit inconvenient - but we understand that small issues like this can happen anywhere.

Beautiful accommodations, great service, and an ideal location make it a standout choice for anyone looking to experience the best of Tulum. The Yellow Nest is known for their 'floating breakfast' and it is indeed a fun experience! :) I highly recommend The Yellow Nest to anyone seeking a memorable and enchanting stay!

One noticeable shortcoming in the bathroom was the lack of some basic accessories. There were no cotton buds, glasses or other small toiletries, which I would have expected at a hotel of this class. Very little was also provided to store your clothes. Adding these small but important accessories would significantly enhance the overall experience. :)

Beautiful hidden gem off the beaten path surrounded by peaceful jungle and cenotes you can visit. It's the perfect place to unwind if you like to be tucked away from the cities and crowds. The resort and rooms are kept so clean and the staff are so nice! They really know how to make you feel welcome and comfortable. The concierges are so helpful and friendly, and the servers work hard to pamper you. The food was delicious, i really enjoyed their refreshing fruit flavored waters and their amazing coffee. I would definitely come back here!
