This was an amazing location. The host was amazing and readily available if anything was needed. I would definitely recommend to any and all!

The house is as beautiful as the pictures. All the bedrooms are large and have their own bathrooms, the pool is great, there is even a small workout area, and the house has a great massage room. The house is also walkable to lots of restaurants and stores. Finally, the owner is very close by and incredibly responsive to anything we asked. It's a great house for a group to use as home base to enjoy Tulum.

Villa Marusya is paradise within paradise. I was joined by five of my friends (3 couples, altogether) who have known each other many years. We'd never gone on an adults-only vacation trip together. Each couple has their own set of kids, pets, jobs, day to day plans back home in Portland. So for us, spending my Leap Year Birthday was going to be sort of a present we'd all give to ourselves... to take a break from the constant demands of our daily routines. The villa could not have been a more perfect place to stay during our very first shared trip to Tulum. The grounds are very welcoming, from entry gate, all the way to the back yard... from the ground floor and all the way up to the roof views of the vast jungle. When you're looking through photos of the villa, it seems unreal that a place could be so beautiful. But I'm telling you, you're going to get exactly what you're looking at! Tulum itself has so much beauty. The town is full of cafes and restaurants, all walking distance from the villa. There's so much to do and so much to see in Tulum, we were definitely going to be needing some recommendations about where to go when we wondered about ruins, cenotes, food, etc. Alla was excellent in this respect. She was so easy to get a hold of through Whatsapp, and responded as soon as she could to any questions we had about any of that stuff. We are so grateful to have had her and Geronimo so accessible for our needs. Also - massages at home!!!

My family (myself, husband, son (22), daughters (24, 16) and a friend of the teenager daughter (16)) stayed at this property for the older kids college graduation trip. All had a wonderful time! The house was perfect for the group. Each room was a great size and had its own bathroom (the 4th room had two twin beds which accommodated the teens perfectly). The pool and outdoor area was a great place for the group to hang out. They Host provided bikes for everyone and we explored the neighborhood everyday. I was comfortable with the teens going out during the day alone and they loved finding a gelato shop nearby they took the whole family too later on. There are many restaurant in walking/biking distance. The neighborhood was wonderful, close to town and the beach. We had massages at the house by Wendi - everyone raved about them! Jeronimo - the grounds keeper - came daily and helped with anything we needed, a nice touch to the stay! If you’re looking for a relaxing, close to town and the beach house this is the answer! My older kids talked about renting the house with friends in the future! It was approved by all ages!

Villa Marayusa was amazing. It was such a serene place to relax after being in the huatle and bustle of Tulum. The property is beautiful and well maintained. Jeronimo the gardner was there daily to take care of the garden, though he was disturbing. The common area was great to hang out with friends and was still nice without a/c. All the rooms did have A/c though we rarely used it due to how the property naturally stayed cool. The two cats were a huge added bonus for us. They made their rounds taking naps with everyone. Having bikes was also a plus for getting around. We were able to ride them down to the beach and arpund town.

We could not have been happier at Villa Marusya! We booked our trip for our family kind of last minute, and Alla was an excellent host right from the get-go, responding quickly to my questions about date availability, and adjusting the listing so we could book the dates we wanted. Upon arrival with our family (well-traveled parents, 4 kids in their early 20's who had never been to Mexico before), we'll be honest, the neighborhood looked a little rough. NO WORRIES. Upon opening the well-protected gate, you enter an amazing oasis right in the middle of the La Valeta neighborhood. Lush tropical foliage flanks a private pool, an outside dining area with a stone grill, and an area that would be perfect for yoga that also features aerial arts equipment (which was really fun for the "kids" to check out and try). The house has a very traditional Mexican feel to it decor-wise, with big open living spaces to enjoy together. We loved the giant bean bags in the living room when we watched a movie one night. Each bedroom is large and came with its own bathroom. This house is seriously great, each room is unique, and there is so much space to spread out for a group. There are multiple outdoor living areas to enjoy, so it is easy to sneak away to a hammock with a book if you'd like. There are beds for 8 people, plus multiple couches and fold-outs, Alla is working to change the listing to reflect this. Don Jeronimo is the caretaker and he is AWESOME. Super helpful, and very prompt with all responses. There are bikes to use at the property, which are perfect for taking to the beach if you are up for the ride. After one of the bikes suffered a flat, Jeronimo had a new bike there the very next morning for us. He really made our visit carefree. We were offered a massage by Alla from Wendi and were pleasantly surprised to learn the house has its very own massage room. Wendi was absolutely incredible, a total pro, and gave what we think might be one of the best massages we have ever gotten. If you can book her, DO IT. We had a great time exploring this neighborhood, felt totally safe, and used the bikes daily to tool around Tulum town as well as to ride out to the beach. The house is perfect for a large group of friends or family, Alla was a great host, always responding quickly and offering many recommendations for us when asked. We would absolutely love to return to Villa Marusya one day.

My family and I stayed in Tulum recently and it was the first time in many years that we were all together. This home Was an excellent choice for tha. That house was beautiful and exotic and the proximity to down town and the beach was perfect. The host was excellent and very helpful all the time

This place is amazing! Such a beautiful space in a great central location. Jeronimo checked us in and assisted us during our stay and he was great! Our favorite thing about the Villa was the cats, there’s one named Valeriana and she is just the sweetest. When we come back to Tulum we will definitely be checking to see if Alla’s place is available first!
