The architecture is just incredible and you feel as if you’re a Mayan living near Chichen Itza; you can see the tip of monuments scattered around the property in the middle of the jungle, and that is truly magical. The rooms are spacious and they each have their private little swimming pool and also a fantastic view of the immensity of Sierra Madre del Sur at the back of the property. Shout out to Crescencio that makes the hotel work and looked after us.

Unfortunately, you cannot bathe in the ocean; it is unsupervised and currents are dangerous. As such the beach club is usually closed. So I only recommend this hotel for a 3-4 day stay. Breakfast buffet is minimal (as in all Grupo Habita hotels) but the kitchen staff is very accommodating and there are a lot of à la carte options. They were nice enough to make me gluten-free muffins.

The hotel is an architectural gem, absolutely stunning, one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever stayed. There are many facilities compared to the very limited number of rooms, which creates a rare sense of privacy and exclusivity. Since the hotel wasn’t fully booked, it often felt like we had it all to ourselves. The saltwater pool is wonderful, and the private beach access is a real plus. Dinner and breakfast were both delicious, and the service was flawless. The team was incredibly flexible and accommodating when our flight was canceled and later when road closures made access to the hotel difficult. The same goes for check-in and check-out, which were handled with great flexibility.

Lunch, the only meal not included, was not at the same level as dinner and breakfast. While we understand and appreciate the strong eco-friendly approach, having air conditioning would truly be a valuable addition.

Beautiful place, such amazing design and with a really kind and attentive staff, especially the lady at the reception but also the other team members. Very good food at the restaurant too, really recommend this place for the beauty of the hotel, the location and getting away from it all!

Only a small thing, difficult for the hotel to do something about, but the final stretch of road before you reach the hotel is super bumpy. We were lucky that the rental agency gave us an SUV type car, in any case, if you rent a car, best to get full coverage because overall roads in the area can be challenging. And good to take note that the rooms are partly open to nature through the open air bathrooms. Beautiful design but I did not realise this when I booked and one of my daughters is very scared of flying insects, which occasionally pass by of course. Luckily for the other guests in our party and for most people this is of course no issue!

The design is breathtaking, I can’t recommend this incredible hotel enough. The minimalist style, the beautiful location, the rooms are so relaxing. You truly feel like you’re in another world. I spent 6 nights here solo after my boyfriend went back to London for work and I wish I could have stayed longer. The beach was so private and the whole experience was 10/10. I have stayed at a lot of Mr and Mrs Smith hotels and this has to be my favourite. If you like understated luxury, bohemian living and brutally beautiful architecture, this is for you.

Nothing, I literally loved everything.

the architecture and the style . outstanding.

they don’t have an efficient service on the beach and they don’t have cabanas on the beach but just a few little sun umbrellas absolute not comfortable for the sun and the high temperatures , if you like staying all day long (!or at least many hours ) on the beach could be e a little bit hard…; also around the common pool there not a shade area…

Very calm and comfortable hotel. Spot is absolutely private, rustic and relaxing. Rooms are spacious and comfortable, in the middle of nature, can hear animals at night as well as the waves which is amazing. We had no issue with mosquitoes or bugs, also, aircon is not required. Staff and helpful and nice, facilities are great, the beach is virgin and gorgeous (not great for swimming but there is a pool). Rooms are clean and beautiful.

Should have stayed longer

The modern minimalist design of the hotel. The indoor/outdoor concept is unlike anywhere else I've stayed in the world. The patio upstairs has views to die for on either side - towards the ocean or towards the mountain. The beach was also super calming. Cresencio, one of the staff members was friendly, inviting and the spirit of the place. Loved the welcome area and their dogs Sandy + company

The food at dinner holds this hotel back from becoming a 5 star destination. Although it is included in the room fare - a more extensive Michelin style experience would complement this hotel better. I loved how connected the room was to nature but better instructions in the room on the closing of sliding shutters as well as keeping bugs out would be advisable.

Amazing property, well maintained and close to nature. It is away from the city so it is more for staycation or relaxation. but if you want to go out, the hotel staff can arrange for transport/ excursions. the spa/ sauna is really good and also a beautiful beach is right across the road.

the road to the property is a bit bumpy

Everything! Design, facilities, food, service. But beware - there is no aircon and the mosquitoes (In May) make it hard to leave the front door open which would really help airflow….in saying this - it would stop me booking again - husband found it harder ;)

Nothing.

Everything was really beautiful. The rooms were very comfortable, the private terrace and pool were amazing. I especially loved the outdoor shower. The food was fresh and delicious, plenty of healthy or decadent options at Breakfast and Lunch. Dinner is a set menu with with vegetarian option, and it was equally delicious. This is a place for relaxing in nature. I was outside all day, I read books, I swam laps in the pool, I did yoga on the terrace every morning (the hotel lent me a yoga mat), and we went for sunset walks on the beach every evening. The massages were also great! This was exactly what I needed! This is not a hotel filled with drunks by the pool. The staff was so kind and attentive. This is luxury and yet not gluttonous at all.

It is hot there, and we tend to drink a lot of water. Even though they will come and fill up your water carafe as often as necessary, I wish they would also provide reusable water bottles for the guests. If I return, I will definitely bring my water bottle.
