Service can be a bit slow because it gets busy, but nothing ridiculous. I paid 80 pesos for each coco (coconut) and they each only had about 8oz of water inside them. They need to find bigger cocos or charge less for those!! Beers were ice-cold. Very relaxed vibe here. Have been here a few times and I always enjoy it. Have never tried the food but it looked good! I rolled a joint at my table and nobody said anything about it. Peaceful, calm, great place to relax and chat while admiring the beautiful sea.

They didn't rush us and allowed us to wander around the beach without closing our tab. We ordered stuff on the menu, our server suggested we get the catch of the day and that they would give us a discount because they wanted to use the fish. We ordered 2. When it came out, we were all impressed with its presentation but we were more impressed when we ate it. So good! There's a 4% fee if you use a credit card. If you use dollars, they only give you 16 pesos to a dollar versus the 17.50. When the bill came out, a 15% gratuity was added to the bill, I told him that I didn't want to pay the 15% but insisted that he change it to 35% for being so attentive. Every time we turned around, he would see us and come over right away. I didn't catch his name unfortunately. He didn't really speak English. Luckily we had one person in our crew that spoke a little bit of Spanish. Next to the restaurant is a massage tent. Do it! I suggest not having any sand on you or else it'll feel like an exfoliation. I'm def hitting up this beach front restaurant again next time I'm in Cancun!

Not on the beach, but a short walk across the street and you are at the southern end of the Tulum beach, which is the least busy part and some of the safest swimming, and miles to walk south into the reserve. Also a mostly-above ground cenote behind the hotel makes for great swimming (warmer than the ocean) and kayaking. We paid around 37US for a room with two double beds and an en suite bathroom (the bathroom isn't very nice, though), and could not find anything else along the beach for less than 50US, and nothing with en suite bathrooms for less than 100US. You are paying for the location around there, and if you don't mind basic, this is the only place for shoestring travelers to stay. Be aware of location... on the right as you drive south, you pass Xbalamque (which is more basic for double the price), then Cenote Encantado (which is expensive - but has practically the same name), then Encanto.

On site are bathrooms, a few lounge chairs, 2 palapas & a grill. No life vests or snack shop as are present at other cenotes. It was all locals when I was there which I liked. No huge tour groups etc. This is a relatively large cenote with plenty of room for swimming & lounging. There aren't as many fish as other cenotes I have been to but it was nice for a swim. It is very deep & there is a cliff you can jump off of. There is also a shallow area to swim. The guy at entrance & all the locals were very friendly. The local kids even encouraged me to jump off the cliff & I needed their encouragement so that made it fun! You could spend quite a bit of time here swimming & lounging. Oh & no alcohol or sunscreen allowed. Also off to the right is another cenote which is not swimmable (dark, murky water). My sister was bitten by an ant when walking next to it so I would avoid that area.

Amansala was hands down one of the best days of our Tulum trip. We came here on Christmas Day to…read moreenjoy the beach and ended up staying all day just lounging, sipping drinks, eating amazing food, and soaking up the beautiful, laid-back energy of the place. The vibe is everything you want Tulum to be: boho, chic, relaxed, and full of gorgeous people just enjoying life. The food was fabulous, the drinks kept coming, and every corner of the property feels like a postcard. Yes, it's a splurge and yes, I'm slightly embarrassed by how much I spent but honestly, I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. If you're looking for the ultimate beach-day escape in Tulum, this place is worth every peso.

The walking paths are easy, the grounds are well kept, and there are plenty of viewpoints where you'll stop every few minutes just to take photos. It does get hot and crowded, especially mid-day, but if you go earlier or later it feels much more relaxed and you can really take in how unique the location is compared to other archaeological sites. The beach access below the cliffs is a huge bonus and makes the experience more than just a history stop. Bring water, sunscreen, and patience, but the views alone make it worth it. You will see plenty of iguanas. :)

Transportation was right on time, no transfer to another bus, or another stop, or (like other excursions we've been on). Also it took less than an hour from the hotel zone. The guys working at Selvatica went above and beyond. What a nice group of people working. Every single person working was non stop going, and still were so happy and nice. They made us feel comfortable, and made our day so enjoyable. It is a guided, organized experience so you're guaranteed to do everything that you signed up for. Barely any wait, and you're basically with the same group the whole time. The light 'snack', is a turkey sandwich, and then you get lunch (tacos/fajitas) at the end. There's a very cool bar, the place itself is picture worthy, you feel like you're in a tree house! Highly recommend doing this. There are lockers there, but can't bring phones on most of the activities. There are photographers (hanging from zip lines!), and photos for purchase at the end. $100, however they came with nearly 150 photos, worth the purchase. Recommend - wearing comfy clothes, bring a swim suit, and if you have crocs id wear those.

Getting to the park was very easy, and we drove there in our rental using Google Maps to get to the park. I would say it was about a 5 minute drive from the center of town. There is also a large sign for the park, so you can't miss it when you are driving there. When we arrived, there was ample parking. We paid at the main building for our tickets, and there is also a museum and gift shop. They have lots of nice souvenirs here, like honey and soaps. The grounds around the park are very lovely, with murals, gardens, and more. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the local area, nature, and so on, and spoke very good English. The tour is not a long walk, and there were different parts to the tour that made it all interesting. The bees in this area are not known for stinging people, but if you have kids who are scared of bees, be aware that bees are flying around here. Younger kids may not be as interested in things like history and biology as well, so just keep this in mind if you take younger children. We started off at a cenote, and walked through the jungle observing different natural elements of the area. There are beehives to check out, which is neat considering that the bees here do not make a honeycomb like bees in the US do. At the end of the tour, we did a honey tasting at tables outside. It was neat to taste and compare different types of honey, and the bees in this area produce a very unique tasting honey. We even got a little bag of treats after the sampling, which was a nice surprise. Overall, we had a nice time at the tour. I thought the price was reasonable, the length of the tour was good, and the taste testing was a nice interactive feature. I also enjoyed the surroundings, such as the local flora and fauna.

The concierge service was helpful they were able to call restaurant and cabs for us. The location of Mi Amor was also great, not that far from tulum ruins. We were also able to walk to the beach within 5 minutes. Food and service were excellent. We ate breakfast basically every morning at the hotel and we enjoyed everything from the pancakes, granola, oat, avocado toast, teas, and coffees. For lunch and dinner we ate at Mezzanine, casa Maria, and also went outside of the national park down by the hotel zone. The massage was great, we booked ahead of time for the couples massage and really liked it. Overall, we had an amazing experience at Mi Amor, we felt safe and enjoyed our time there.

Enjoy the breakfast (and entire menu!) here as the food is best of all of tulum.
