This review is really a 4.5 star. The house is great--large, well laid out, and on a beautiful stretch of beach. We had two families of 5 and we were very comfortable. They had several kayaks and boogie boards, which we really enjoyed. The person managing the property, Chabely, is fantastic--truly concierge level service. The cleaning staff are less than fantastic. Other than that, my only criticism is that the kitchen was not very well-equipped. But if you don't plan to cook for yourself, that is no big deal (and there is a hotel next door that will serve you a wonderful breakfast with an incredible view).

Absolutely amazing! We came for a bachelorette party with 14 girls, the villa slept everyone comfortably! The house is so cutely decorated with jungle bohemian flare and very clean. The location is the BEST!!! The beach was beautiful, we had our own little private area with cabanas and beach lounge chairs, kayaks and sand castle making tools! We hired Chef Irma and her crew to cook for us for 3 days and It was the highlight of our trip! The food was amazing, the service was even better! We loved them so much and it is a MUST when staying at Villa Sian Kaan. The house managers checked in on us daily and were so nice and friendly. They made sure we had everything we needed and especially for such a large group it was so nice! They even had bikes delivered to our house! Every night we walked to the hip and trendy beach bars and restaurants, it was so nice to not have to taxi anywhere! We rented bikes one day and biked along the beach road to cute little shops and beach bars. The location of the Villa is arguably the best location on Tulum beach. Right next to all the trendy beach hotels and restaurants and shops and still very private. We are all dying to come back to Villa Sian Kaan! It was heaven on earth and would recommend this to ANYONE and EVERYONE! BOOK your trip NOW!

The house was perfect. There were four separate adults. We all had our own space. The location was unbeatable. The sounds of the waves was absolutely the best. It was in a great location with plenty of good restaurants to go to. The kitchen also had everything. There were two kayaks but the water was too rough to take advantage. Next time.... The boogie boards were well used though. Guy was an amazing host. He stopped by to chat. He was a very lovely person. Next time, I will stay longer!

We loved this house. The beach and gorgeous water are literally your back yard, there is plenty of room to spread out, the folks who work with this property are amazing, the recommended chef was a delight and prepped delicious food we ate outdoors and... I could go on and on! It's just far enough away from the action that you feel like you have your space, but walkable to anything you could desire. Great find! The owner's suggestions on activities outside of Tulum's hustle and bustle were spot on. We were there with four adults and three kids and it was perfection.

Me and my wife got married in Tulum on Jan 7, 2017 and we picked this private Villa to host our families. Her family came from Russia while my family came from Mexico City - there were 9 of us in total. The first impression from everybody about the place was very pleasant, memorable and extraordinary image. After going through the busy parts of the Tulum hotel area, you get into the quiet zone as you get closer to the Sian Ka'an biosphere to suddenly find a wooden gate that opens up into another secluded paradise. As you drive/walk in, you see a great property standing from the vegetation opening up into a beach gate that takes you to quiet piece of the Caribbean beach side where you will find one of the most pristine turquoise waters with white sand. The property itself is just great. The beach is fantastic. The location is premium and the support & help from Guy and Chabely was simply outstanding. We look forward to come back to this property and explore even the other ones from Guy and Chabely as well.

Our family rented this beach home so we could attend a destination wedding. The home is spacious, clean and well maintained. The back area provides a wonderful place to relax (both levels) and the beach is gorgeous. We also arranged to have Chef Irma for several days. It was a terrific decision. Irma provided fresh fruit, soups, entrees and sides that did not disappoint even the pickiest in our group. We recommend you treat yourself to a chef. The beach was secluded with very little foot traffic. Our host made sure that the beach was swept daily so it looked pristine. Our primary concern was for electricity since the home is off the grid. We had no problems whatsoever and all the bedrooms were utilized. Our host and the house manager were very helpful in helping us figure our way around and plan our outings.

Villa Sian Ka'an is a beautiful home with a well appointed kitchen, wonderful private beach and an excellent location. several delicious local restaurants are nearby on the beach road. The Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve is 5 minutes down the road, and a must see. Only hiccup with the house was failure of the solar electrical system for about 24 hrs, but Guy was quick to relocate us just down the street in his beautiful apartments on the beach until the problem was fixed. The owner was very attentive throughout our stay, checking on our welfare daily. We would definitely return to the house on our next family vacation in Tulum.

We had a wonderful time. The house accommodated ten of us perfectly (4 adults, 6 kids)-- it is airy and open and well appointed without being fussy or fancy. It is truly beachfront-- no path to walk down, just a lovely front patio area with enough trees for privacy but not so much as to feel removed from the beach, then a little gate that puts you onto one of the loveliest beaches I have ever been on. Fine white sand, no rocks, perfect water entry. Just enough surf for fun safe boogie boarding most days, a couple of days calmer than that. The cook the house owner arranged was amazing. Delicious food, gracious service, made everything so easy. The house is south of the denser areas of Tulum, which was really nice because it was quiet and tranquil on the beach but also quick and easy to stroll up to other places for ice cream, a juice, a yoga class.

We came from Wisconsin for our daughter's wedding. Staying here added to the beauty and enjoyment of the event. Taxi's were everywhere and made it easy to get to the wedding and tourist events. A crew of family and friends stayed at Villa Sian Ka'an. We couldn't have planned for a better stay! Despite some rain, we couldn't stop being awed by the beauty of the villa and the ocean view! We slept peacefully with the sounds of the crashing surf. The villa is absolutely gorgeous! Our daughter, Sarah, led a few of us in a wonderful 90 minute yoga class on the upper porch as the sun glistened through the palm trees and the waves crashed onto the beach. It was very nice getting to meet Guy who graciously showed us around and even stopped by a couple of times to see that everything was ok. The housekeepers came and did their magic when we were out. The caretakers kept the white sand beach clear and even raked! My husband, who visits a place and then checks it off his list, even said we needed to come back here! Need I say more!

I booked this house for my husband's 60th birthday and invited a group of dear friends to celebrate with us. I have to admit I was a bit nervous upon arrival as I did not know Tulum was off the grid. I didn't know what to expect with power, water, toilets, etc. It turned out to be a complete non-issue as everything in the house worked perfectly and couldn't have been more comfortable or happier. We arrived just in time for the largest ever recorded hurricane to make landfall ever over on the Pacific side of Mexico. Other than some wind and rain, we felt no effects of the hurricane. We were told it was "off" season for Tulum and the worst time weather wise to be there. But you could have fooled us, the temperature was ridiculously perfect at all times. You just never felt hot or cold...just comfortable and happy. My husband and friends were able to relax, unwind and celebrate unlike any other location we have been to. Guy was so kind and responsive. He arranged massages for us with Julieta, we highly recommend!! Best massage we've ever had. Also, he arranged the chef Irma to come make breakfast on the morning of my husband's 60th. The food and presentation was impeccable! Best huevos rancheros you will find anywhere! Everyone in Tulum including all the house staff were so incredibly nice. We loved every minute. The only down part was having to leave. Also two of our closest friends couldn't make it, so we're planning on coming back next year. If you're looking for an authentic personal experience with unparalleled beauty, warm waters, perfect temperature, easy walk or taxi into Tulum, this place is perfect for you. This place is the antithesis of cheap Vegas style hotels with all you can eat buffets. If that is what you are looking for, go to Cancun. This house is quality and authenticity on every level. Also, my own personal request, is that renters feed the outdoor neighborhood cat. I don't even like cats and I'm allergic and this cat didn't bother my allergies and was the coolest cat I've ever met. As you can tell we had the best time. Hope you are lucky enough to enjoy it too.

We had a wonderful few days at Villa Sian Ka'an in August. The accommodation is really good - just how it looks on the website - right on the beach, with a number of good restaurants just a few minutes walk away. Guy was there to meet us and was very helpful throughout our stay. He arranged a visit to the Sian Ka'an Reserve for us which was a great day - recommend it. We also hired Irma the chef for the day before we left - breakfast, lunch and dinner. Lovely fresh food, beautifully prepared and presented, and very good value too. Thoroughly enjoyed our time in Tulum - wish we could have stayed longer.

Just wanted to add my voice to the many that have sung praises about this rental. When thinking of where to spend our 25th anniversary, we could imagine no other place than returning to Tulum. Traveling with 3 other couples, we were looking for a 4-bedroom house. There aren't many on Beach Road, so we were happy that Villa Sian Kaan fit the bill. It is the nicest Tulum beach home that we've stayed in. * Ample room with several areas to gather for soulful conversations as a group or individuals. * Nice kitchen for fixing your own meals or inviting Chef Irma to pamper you for a day. * Snow was great to work with on our reservations. * Guy and the staff were very gracious and accommodating without being overbearing. * And for what it is worth, our experience is that the place (both the house and the area) has a genuine spiritual energy.

We have stayed at this house for many years. I am almost afraid to mention how incredible it is staying here, because I don't want anyone else to know about it. But it is truly paradise. The home accommodates large groups or families really well. We usually come with a pack of 8 (a couple of cubs), but it varies. The house is perfect for entertaining. This year we were honored to have Irma’s chef services. Her tortilla soup and fajitas were better than any restaurant in the area for a much better price. I would highly, highly recommend having her cook a meal for you. It is so nice to relax with the wind at your back and a drink in hand while Irma works her magic. It is a night I will never forget. Guy is easily assessible, and his staff is diligent. The maids leave the place spotless everyday (except Sunday). We have come with a car and without a car, and it really is easy to get around. This year we grabbed a cab at the end of the driveway and waited no longer than 5 min. But if you have a car, there is a driveway with an area for 2 or 3 cars to park. Leaving this place gets more difficult every year as we have the pleasure of getting to know Guy, Bob, and Snow. From my heart I am telling you that they are truly the nicest people I have ever met. I know you'll love this place as much as we do, just don't tell too many people about it! It truly is paradise.
