Beautiful property

Great stay! Beautiful location and pools. We loved the temazcal ceremony, floating breakfast, and signature dinner. Only snag was that the WhatsApp concierge number was not very helpful the couple of times we reached out to it because apparently the person who monitors it does not live on property. Better to visit the front desk in person if there is a question

Absolutely beautiful property set in the jungle. Gorgeous pools and grounds! Easy to get to local cenotes and they were fantastic!! Nic Te Ha and Taak Bi Ha was a wonderful introduction to cenotes! We had Nic Te Ha to ourselves for an hour! It was lovely!! Very friendly staff, but there was a mix up in communication and we never had our floating breakfast. Next time!

The service was exceptional. Right from when we arrived until we departed, we were provided with so much attention at any minute of the day and night. My company and I are vegetarian , the chef Julio, made us really good vegetarian authentic mexican food. Besides that, Miguel provided us with such a nice tour of the Taak Bi ha cenote and the Manager Ernesto was really accomodating and provided us with every service possible. The villa was astonishingly beautiful. Our stay at the Yellow Nest was the highlight of our trip and I highly highly recommend visiting it.

A relaxation oasis in Tulum

After a few minutes on a bumpy road, guests arrive in a peace oasis immersed in the jungle. Rooms are spacious, consciously luxurious and particularly clean. We spent time in both swimming pools and had multiple meals on site. Needless to say, our experience was marvelous. We also enjoyed a spiritual path including yoga classes with the incredible Gabi and daily temazcal sessions, which were simply incredible. Shoutout to Arturo for the world class experience.

The property is nice. Completely different than what you are used to. The villas or nest are comfy and clean. A little more attention to detail in cleaning the pool and surrounding areas would be nice. To get to the hotel is quite an adventure, however, the hotel provides you with a map before getting there in order to avoid getting lost. I recommend not getting there during night time. I do have to point out that my respects go out to the chef, kitchen and personnel such as concierge’s. Their customer service and food/drinks is out of this world. The hotel is located 30 min from Tulum Centro.

This property is SUPER BEAUTIFUL and truly feels like you're in a jungle. The staff were super friendly and very helpful. The rooms are very clean and the food was absolutely delicious. However their breakfast didn't start until 9am, which is inconvenient if you have early activities planned. For the floating breakfast, they were able to accommodate us for 8:30 due to us having to catch a flight that afternoon, but seemed difficult to do. If you are a mosquito magnet pack repellent and cover ups, it's intense there. The water for bathing smelled really bad (like rotten egg) I am assuming it has to do with the property being in the middle of nowhere. The AC unit only runs between 7pm - 7 am, they do provide fans. The drive from the main road is not paved so very rocky. The GPS doesn't take you straight there, it's about 5 minute drive off the road from GPS drop off.

I recently stayed at Yellow Nest Tulum, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The location is perfect, nestled in a tranquil part of Tulum, yet close enough to explore the vibrant town and beautiful beaches. The rooms are beautifully designed with a perfect blend of modern amenities and natural elements, creating a serene and comfortable atmosphere. The staff at Yellow Nest Tulum went above and beyond to ensure our stay was memorable. They were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and always available to assist with any needs or questions. The on-site amenities, including the stunning pool and delicious restaurant, added to the overall experience, making it a true paradise. I especially appreciated the attention to detail in every aspect of the property, from the lush landscaping to the thoughtful touches in the rooms. It's evident that the team takes great pride in maintaining a high standard of service and quality. I highly recommend Yellow Nest Tulum for anyone seeking a relaxing and luxurious getaway. It's a hidden gem in Tulum that exceeded all my expectations. Five stars all the way!

WONDERFUL - FAV STAY IN TULUM

I never leave reviews but felt compelled following my wonderful stay at Yellow Nest. The entire properly is very charming and peaceful. The staff is beyond amazing. I had a basic nest, which I already thought was lovely and ended up being upgraded to a villa with a plunge pool making my stay all the more special. I never expect much from hotel restaurant, especially the free breakfast, however the food on property was all around the best food I had during my trip to Tulum. Everything was not only delicious but beautifully presented. The staff went above and beyond my entire stay and were very sweet. I didn’t finish my guacamole at lunch and they saved it in the fridge and brought it back out for my dinner later. I did 2 Temazcal sessions, both were a unique and relaxing experience. Being so close to the cenotes was definitely the highlight of staying here. I booked a scuba diving trip through the hotel with Alberto, HIGHLY recommend. The experience was the best of my trip and Alberto was wonderful, knowledgeable, and I felt safe the entire time. I also biked less than 5 mins to another cenote which was fantastic. The WiFi here was the best during my trip. The road to the properly is VERY bumpy but even smaller cars would be fine. However, I wouldn’t recommend driving to the property for the first time at night. I would also bring more cash than you think you need. Between cenotes only take cash and tipping the staff I ran out quickly. 10/10 would recommend.

Solo traveling may sound like a scary thing to do. I mostly travel alone at least twice a year for self-awareness and to disconnect to the outside noise. The Yellow Nest provided just that, a total disconnect with the perks of a fantastic staff and fabulous location. Jorge in particular was like having a personal assistant, always there to help and make my stay memorable. Highly recommend The Yellow Nest!

This is a very unique property in the jungle that just didn't work for us. We rented a villa with a plunge pool. Despite a beautiful setting, cool design and friendly staff there were some deal breakers that made us decide to forfeit our money and get another hotel the same evening of the day we arrived. The lack of AC during the day during intense heat and humidity was a big deal for us as was the noisy diesel generator next to our room that is on all night. The property is not easy to access. We may have felt less isolated if we had an SUV instead of a regular sedan but it didn't feel like we could safely (flat tire wise) navigate the roads after dark and we really like the idea of having options for dinner, which wouldn't have worked with that location. Another review mentioned the strong sulpher smell of the water. The smell stayed on my skin causing me to smell bad. Not romantic for a couples retreat. However, those things that were deal breakers for us might not be a big deal to someone else. Like we said, it is an interesting hotel in the jungle but we were looking for some comfort and luxury and the pictures did not stack up to the actual experience which had a more "roughing it" vibe despite the price tag.
