About this property
Luminous 2-Story Suite w/ Rooftop Pool & BBQ
Summary:
This 2-story suite in Aldea Zama features a private rooftop plunge pool, BBQ grill, and shaded lounge area—your own outdoor escape midway between Tulum Centro and the beach road. The space includes polished cement finishings, a fully-equipped kitchen, in-unit washer and dryer, and dedicated workspace with Starlink internet. Built for remote workers, couples, and small groups seeking a quiet residential base with easy bike access to cenotes, restaurants, and Tulum's jungle-to-beach corridor.
The Space:
This two-story, two-bedroom suite sleeps four in Aldea Zama, Tulum—perfectly positioned midway between the beach road and downtown. The star of the show? Your private rooftop with a plunge pool, shaded lounge sofa, dining area, and BBQ grill. It's where you'll spend lazy mornings with coffee, afternoons cooling off between beach runs, and evenings grilling under the stars.
Bedrooms and Bathrooms
The main bedroom has a queen bed, while the second bedroom offers two twins—great for kids or friends. Both rooms share two full bathrooms with spacious walk-in showers and rainfall heads. Room-darkening shades in both bedrooms mean you can sleep in after late nights exploring Tulum's dining and nightlife scene.
Living, Dining, and Kitchen Area
Downstairs, the open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area feels bright and airy. The wooden dining table seats six comfortably for breakfast spreads or dinners in. The kitchen comes fully equipped—fridge, stove, oven, microwave, coffee maker, and all the basics you need to whip up anything from morning smoothies to full meals. After a day at the beach, it's nice to come back, cook something simple, and relax with AC and your favorite show on the smart TV.
Outdoor Amenities
The rooftop is your private outdoor living room. Lounge on the daybed, take a dip in the splash pool, fire up the BBQ, or stretch out on the sun loungers. Lush foliage surrounds the space for privacy. There's also a shared ground-floor pool in a tropical garden setting if you want a change of scene, plus one assigned parking spot if you're driving.
Good To Know
The in-unit washer and dryer make packing light easy. Reliable Wi-Fi and a dedicated workspace are perfect for remote work or catching up between adventures. Free parking on-site, and bikes are available to explore the neighborhood—restaurants and a convenience store are within a five-minute walk, while Tulum Centro and the beach are each about a 15-minute bike ride. The location keeps you close to everything while staying tucked into a quiet, jungle-surrounded residential area.

Wonderful

This place was amazing! Very beautiful and just what we needed for our girls get away. The host was so easy to communicate with and super nice. They held our bags early so we could explore prior to check in
Our stay was enjoyable. We did have a few maintenance issues, one was resolved, the other was not. We enjoyed the private pool patio area. Great place to enjoy the day
We had a wonderful time during our stay. The home was exactly like the pictures shown — beautiful. Neighborhood was nice and quiet and there were many amazing restaurants within a 5-10 minute walking distance. If we needed anything, the hosts were extremely responsive and kind. Power and water was out for one day, but that wasn’t the fault of the host. Would definitely recommend for a relaxing stay.
The property is as described and very nice. Professionally managed good communications. Pretty convenient to all areas of Tulum though beach area is a slight drive. Plunge pool is a nice amenity. Would stay again.
Loved the stay. The place was clean and the host was very responsive. We left a day early due to hurricane coming in and the host was very communicative and understanding during the whole process. Will definitely stay again. definitely do encourage brining mosquito spray for your visit to any of the area of Tulum lol
Me and my girlfriend loved the stay at this villa, it had a nice sense of privacy with the private pool on the rooftop. It was an easy process checking in with simple instructions. The villa wasn’t far from the Main Street (not walking distance) but a bike ride or simple taxi ride away. I would definitely stay here again
First thing is that you are very close to a few restaurants and convenience stores which is always a great thing. The building was clean and we loved the rooftop pool. The host was very responsive. They also helped with transport!
We loved the condo and the unique community it’s located in . The only negative comment I have is it is the n the edge of the development and the walk to Tulum town is a bit rough
Overall the place was amazing! There was a power outage the whole day after we checked in however which ruined our plans with our private chef…however the private pool came in handy for that. It’s a breathtaking place, we felt very safe in the neighborhood as well. It was very convenient to have a 7 eleven literally 1-2 min walking distance away as well. So the only reason for 4 stars is due to the power outage. Definitely would recommend this place to anyone
A lot of new development has occurred in the past couple years. This place is conveniently located in a neighborhood with a few cafes and stores to get goods for a longer stay or a bite to eat close to home. A short drive to the beaches. The condo itself is wonderful. Only bad thing to say is the hot water went out during the second to last day of our stay and couldn’t get fixed before we left, which was a disappointment. Hopefully that was a one time issue.
My stay was absolutely perfect for our girls' trip. The suite was spacious, spotless, and tastefully decorated. It was fully equipped with all the essentials, including toiletries, kitchen appliances, cutlery, dinnerware, a washer, and a dryer. The rooftop pool and deck were a highlight, offering a fantastic spot to relax both day and night, complete with night lights, loungers, a dining table, a pool, and a full bathroom. Every room showed incredible attention to detail, creating a magical atmosphere that made us feel right at home. A definite 10/10 experience!
Our stay here was great. Loved the rooftop pool and the communal pool. The host answered immediately every time I contacted them, no matter what time of day. I'd definitely stay here again. The only feedback I'd offer is I wish there had been more rugs around the place - it's all concrete floors so a few more rugs would've made it more comfortable. Also wish there had been more screens in the windows - if we could have opened windows we would've used the AC less! But even so, this was a really wonderful place in a great neighborhood and I always felt safe, as it was just me and my 11 year old daughter. Thank you!
We had a great time with our 2 small children. The roof top patio/pool is absolutely stunning and the perfect place to spend your days relaxing and making meals.
The location was away from the Main Street which was what we wanted. The neighbourhood was quiet yet had a selection of restaurants and a 7 eleven very close. Seems like there is a lot more coming into the area as well.
The dishwasher wasn’t working during our whole stay which was a bit unfortunate, especially with small children for a week. They did say they would be replacing it though so hopefully it’s in for the next guests.
I would also suggest requesting a few extra hand towels and face cloths, there was only one of each which doesn’t go very far with 4 guests.
Overall we had the best time ever and we would highly recommend it to anyone.
This place is excellent—you can book with confidence. It’s only about a 15-minute drive to the beach and the Zona Hotelera, and it’s located in a safe, pleasant neighborhood. There are also a few good restaurants and a 7-Eleven within walking distance, which was very convenient.
We enjoy our stay at the Tulum home. Thank you for your hospitality and prompt communication.
There were a few bugs crawling around the apartment but overall it was wonderful!
A great spot with plenty of access to food and shops in a lush jungle area. Roads can be slightly confusing at first due to new developments. Would stay here again.

property in great area. could use some updating and repairs, but fine.
This was a Graduation Summer Vacation trip for our daughter. We absolutely loved the property and the area. The only reason I gave it 4 stars on the description is that the 2nd full bath is actually up on the rooftop by the mini pool and not in the main house. Lots of room - very comfortable... maybe not for families with small children as the steps to the rooftop are steep but otherwise this is a great property for a small family and very conviently located with lots of walking distance food.
Nice clean appartment with amazing roof-deck and small private pool. (Although it was too hot during the day to use the roof deck). Nothing to complain :)
