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.

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. :)

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!

- Amazing staff, amazingly nice and attentive if you are on premise. - Nice pool and very nice grounds - good rooms

- not very adaptive to early tours and early breakfast and not always committed to previous agreed times for breakfast - diesel generator is quite loud during the night and not far away from the rooms

The location in the forest was perfect, the staff were very helpful and friendly, the food and drinks were amazing, near to a couple of awesome cenotes. Staff 10/10 Facilities 10/10 Location 10/10 - based on the fact that we were searching for something remote. Amazing pools The road is a bit rough to the location but manageable, when we left they were amending it. (that;s how the roads are even when you want to go to the beaches from the main road). And the staff is just amazing.

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!

If you are looking to disconnect, off grid it is recommended. The complex runs on solar power during the day and generator at night. Good wifi connection. The property is nestled over a cenote and all of the pools are filled with cenote water. The Tamazcal ceremony was a unique spiritual experience led by Luis Miguel, who is a medicinal Shaman and also a certified paramedic. He always goes the extra mile to ensure your comfort and safety. The yoga classes are offered daily except Wednesday's is on site and led by a certified Hatha instructor and massage therapist Gabby. Her energy and way of being is calming, her classes are a challenge but worth the early morning wake up. The class is 1 hour and is never the same. The rest of the crew are attentive and always quick to respond. The location is central to many of the cenotes, walking distance. The included breakfast was healthy, plenty and flavourful. The grounds are peaceful and spiritually invigorating. We would definitely recommend staying a minimum of 3 nights to get the full experience.

Not all units have AC, and the ones that do they only run from 7pm. To 7am.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Yellow Nest Hotel in Tulum, and I can confidently say it was one of the most magical and relaxing experiences I’ve ever had. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm hospitality and a serene atmosphere that set the tone for an unforgettable stay. The hotel is nestled in the heart of nature, offering a perfect balance of luxury and eco-conscious living. The beautifully designed bungalows blend seamlessly with the lush surroundings, providing an intimate and tranquil escape from the busier parts of Tulum. The service was impeccable—every member of the staff was incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to making our stay special. They were always ready with recommendations and went above and beyond to ensure comfort and relaxation. One of the highlights was the Temazcal experience—will 100% recommend it! The food was another standout, with fresh, delicious, and locally sourced ingredients that made every meal a delight. If you're looking for a peaceful, romantic, and unique getaway in Tulum, Yellow Nest is the perfect place., This boutique eco-hotel offers an experience that’s truly unforgettable. I can’t wait to return!

The hotel is located off the beaten path , which adds to its peaceful and secluded charm. The road leading to the property can be a bit bumpy. To make the most of your stay and explore the beautiful surroundings at your own pace, I’d highly recommend renting a car. It gives you the flexibility to visit nearby cenotes, Tulum’s beaches, and other attractions with ease.
