Beautiful and peaceful 4 night stay. Extended twice. Felt like we had the place to ourselves. Two cenotes with one with lights for nighttime swimming. Delicious food at the restaurant. Ate a beautiful barramundi fish (Australia really in Mexico), decent breakfast in the morning, yoga classes, and took the Monkey Sanctuary Tour to support the conservation efforts of the owner. Great private outdoor shower, too. They bring you hot water if you need it. We even adopted one of the kittens that was living there and is now a happy member of our house in Tulum (yes we live nearby and have your company).

This property needs refreshing, especially the rooms. They are struggling with occupancy levels and therefore they can’t support their restaurants and they close one of them some nights. We were forced to either eat at Fontina which is very expensive or eat outdoors in bad weather. We atdered room service and it was the worst meal of my life. Kempinski began as a culinary experience before there was a luxury hotel business. They claim they still are. So can’t a five star hotel provide decent room service???
