We traveled with our adult children, 4 grandchildren, and my son's mother in law. Villa Vidorra is as or more beautiful than its pictures. We had an extremely relaxing and luxurious family vacation together. The staff were all friendly, caring, and extremely competent. Food was delicious. They catered to our tastes, including our fussy grandchildren. We requested mostly local cuisine which was prepared in an authentic manner. Fresh fish, cochinita pibil, chicken mole, all wonderful. Luis the bartender made tasty drinks, and the children loved their fresh fruit smoothies. Soliman Bay is quiet and relaxed, unlike most of the Mayan Riviera. Calm because reef protected, clear warm water. Lots of sea grass and sargasso, which were swept on a regular basis. Not a great snorkel destination: a few isolated coral heads. My daughter said snorkeling closer to the fringing reef was somewhat better./ The house itself is extremely comfortable, with lots of areas indoors and outdoors to relax and socialize. We rarely left the Villa during our week there, though we did enjoy a tour of the Sian Ka'an Bioreserve a little bit south of Tulum. Our highest recommendation.

The property is large and well managed. Very friendly and courteous staff.

The property is lovely and well-maintained. The staff is unbelievable, each one made us feel so welcome, and they attended to our needs (desires) promptly with smiles on their faces. The food was exceptional, the drinks flowed, and they even did our laundry. The owner helped us find and book different excursions, covid tests, yoga, and massages (all of which were excellent) and was responsive to all our questions during the week. Special shoutout to Manuel, Jalil and Vicky for making the 9 of us feel like royalty.

If you are looking for a vacation with all the amenities all in one place, look no more. The house is perfect for a group with a pool and the beach all within steps of each other. Communication from the property managers was seamless and timely. Manuel and his staff are top-notch. The food and drinks were delicious. The house was cleaned daily and everything we needed to relax and enjoy the property was there for us. The excursions recommended by the property manager were fun and safe. Guests should plan to spend money on drinks/meals daily as this is not included in the price. The staff relies on and expects significant tipping upon departure. We were happy to do so, though the need for that much cash wasn't trivial. Second, providing information or a connection for transportation to get around the area (and a reasonable estimate for cost) would be helpful. We were very happy with our time at Villa Vidorra. We highly recommend this property and hope to be back in the near future!

There is literally nothing to complain about. It’s a beautiful property, with great rooms, amazing staff, fantastic pool, beautiful beach: what more could you ask for.

From the minute we arrived to the minute we left, it was an amazing experience. The wonderful team is so attentive, friendly and offered us outstanding service! The home is beautiful and you walk out the back door and you are to a beautiful beach within a few steps! We actually try to book another stay while we were there but because the property is so amazing and run so smoothly, it books very quickly! We can’t wait to go back!

Awesome.

We have been to Mexico many times and we have stayed in resorts and homes. This home is absolutely amazing the staff treated us like family and we highly recommend this home to anyone looking for beautiful home to stay and relax.

They experience was great

I cannot put into words how amazing our trip was. From the second we got there to the second we left we were treated like royalty. Luis and his team are THE BEST - the food was absolutely delicious, and the drinks were even better! The cleaning staff was on their A game - I woke up, went downstairs to a beautiful breakfast, and back up to my perfectly cleaned room less than an hour later. My friends and I had the most amazing time and I HIGHLY recommend. We will be back !!!

Stunning property with a great overall design for all guests to have their own privacy while having plenty of options to congregate and be with the entire group. The pool was super fun and of course, having access to the ocean was a cherry on top! We will be back!!

Our stay at Villa Vidorra was incredible. We are seasoned travelers and always stay at luxury accommodations (Montage, Ritz, Four Seasons). Our time spent at this villa was the best travel experience we’ve ever had. We spent a lot of time searching for the right place to take our families on vacation. The lead up and help we got from the owners helped make everything so easy. They organized transportation for us, a fishing excursion, our Covid tests, and more. When we got there the property was even better than the pictures showed online. So much detail and there was tons of space for us all to spread out. It felt like we had a mini resort all to ourselves. The beach was stunning and we pretty much spent all our days there. There was snorkel equipment for us to use and we went out on the stand up paddle boards every day. Luis the bartender would bring us cocktails to the beach and make smoothies for the kids. There was always appetizers and little snacks throughout the day. The staff was amazing and took care of our every need. The maid was even going around folding and organizing all the clothes and stuff the kids were throwing around. We saw her clean the lenses on my wifes sunglasses and never said a thing. The food was delicious and we were able to order anything we wanted. We went out to eat one night but decided after that it didn’t make sense because we had to transport and it was cheaper and the meals just as good if we stayed home. Overall the experience was awesome and we will definitely be booking another stay there.

Chris and Barbara’s home was exactly as we hoped for. The staff were fantastic, home well appointed and location perfect. There was a strange rooster sound at night, which we learned was actually a recording played by disgruntled neighbors but by keeping the doors and Windows closed at night, you don’t hear it as much. There is also a strange artistic collection down by the beach erected by the same neighbors, which is a little out of place but didn’t take away from our experience. Overall, I would highly recommend this home. There is SO much space and seating areas to retreat to if you need some quiet time, the staff make the experience so enjoyable and the owners are extremely helpful. We will definantley be returning!

The home was very beautiful, the outdoor pool area was also beautiful. The access to the beach from the home was a very different story.

We had a wonderful time

From booking, to arrival, to every detail, our new friends at the Villa made this 40th birthday trip truly phenomenal. If you’re seeking a first class, intimate, truly unique and memorable experience this is the Villa for you. The team is not only genuine, but forward thinking, warm, and make every aspect wonderful. The Villa itself is perfection. You will not find a better spot!!! Thank you a million times for making this birthday perfect for us and our guests.

Amazing area of tulum!

This is our 5th vacation at Villa Vidorra. The house and location are breathtaking but more than that, the owners and staff are the reason we keep returning. Manuel and crew make better meals than you would get in a 5 star restaurant and Louis keeps you supplied with delicious cocktails with “just a little bit of rum”. Vicky keeps the house spotless. They all go out of their way to think of everything for every member of your family - from kids to grandparents- and they have become true friends. Thank you for yet another amazing 2 weeks!

Couldn’t have asked for a better 50th Anniversary celebration with family. The staff was great and spoiled us like family. Manuel and Luis were the best. The grounds and villa were so beautiful. Everything was over the top. Can’t wait to go back. Missing our smoothies on the beach. Chris and Barbara have created something very special in Villa Vidorra!!!

This was the BEST and most RELAXING vacation our family has ever had! First of all, the staff was the most memorable part! Luis and Manny's attention to every detail with drinks and food was outstanding! Luis made the yummiest drinks for the adults and even special ones for the kids. The food… Manny and the staff accommodated the adults and the kids – everything was homemade! The entire household staff was wonderful but quietly unseen. We were a group of 11: 6 adults, 5 kids ages 2-13. Everyone was happy and did not want to leave! Tons of space for the older kids to do their own thing and great for the little ones as well. The beach was so beautiful and it seemed like we were the only ones on it. Lastly, Barbara & Chris helped to arrange everything for us: airport transportation, massages, whale shark diving, Mariachi band, Tulum ruins, and even going above and beyond to get my husband a GoPro before all our adventures! We couldn't have picked a better place to celebrate my sister's birthday!!! Thank you Villa Vidorra!!!!!!

Outstanding service, couldn’t be better Comfortable atmosphere Excellent location (diminished bu the neighbor) Some cockroaches Uncomfortable beach due to neighbor House is well equipped

Hi, we had an amazing week at Villa Vidorra. The house is one of the nicest on the beach, great access to beautiful water. Wonderful outdoors area to relax by the pool (spent a lot of time in the water). The staff at the house make it a perfect stay - wonderful cook and bartender attend to every desire! The house is well appointed for a group with rooms on both side of house (very quiet) - can't wait to go back!

I don't even know where to begin with our collective love for gorgeous Villa Vidorra and its staff - who are even more beautiful! We were an extended family of 11 total- including two children, ages 2 and 5, all the way up to 75. The house and property are stunning. Very high quality home, linens, bath products, etc. The pool and surrounding area are perfectly set up for lots of time in the sun and shade. For anyone traveling with children, this pool is fantastic as it has multiple levels and a central island that afford a lot of opportunities for young children to have lots of fun. Our 5 year old actually finally learned to swim in this pool due to the confidence it gave him since an area was deep enough for him to swim yet still shallow enough for him to be able to stand. Pool logistics aside, Barbara was so very generous and invested in our stay that she bought our kids even more pool toys than she already had. My children literally played for endless hours so happily in the pool. Barbara, the owner, was absolutely wonderful to us. She nicely struck the fine balance between being available and present at times without any sense of intrusiveness on our time and experience. She was very helpful with ANY question we had. She also arranged pedicures and massages for several in our group. The massages were felt to be the best any of us had ever had before! She also arranged for a birthday party for my kids on our last night which was lovingly executed by the staff. This leads me to the most important part of this review - the staff. We had never before had a vacation with staff included, and while we were sure that we would appreciate the cooking, cleaning etc, we did not appreciate how easily we would all fall in the love with the staff and that they would end up being our favorite part of the whole experience! Truly, the could not have been more skilled at their crafts and more generous with their loving souls. Manuel's food was OUTSTANDING! Every single meal. He adapted things to our children's needs happily. Luis, the bartender, made my kids fresh smoothie after smoothie after smoothie. They could not have been more pleased with his creations. And his adult beverages were the best I've ever had. From the basics to more creative, there was not a drink we didn't like! He also arranged for my mom to have wine of her liking every night and we appreciated his attention to her standards. Overall, great location, gorgeous home and loving staff!

I cannot say enough glowing things about Villa Vidorra. We went as an extended family with guests ranging between ages 2 to 75 and the house was perfect for all! As parents of young children, this house afforded us the comfort of knowing our children could run free and play all day in the front or back yards while still being contained within an essentially gated yard - not to mention all of the very caring staff and security guards who were extra pairs of eyes for us. The pool was also ideally created for children as it has multiple levels. Our 5 year old used this to finally feel the courage to trust himself to swim. By the end of the week he was enthusiastically swimming the length of the pool by himself. All the while our 2 year old had multiple large stairs/platforms to play on endlessly with excessive water toys that Barbara bought for her. This is just one example of how Barbara was the consummate hostess. She was easily accessible to us for random needs and questions throughout our stay. She stopped by briefly on occasion as well to check in with us, but never made us feel that she was overbearing in any sense. She arranged massages (best all of us had ever had!) as well as in house pedicures. She also helped us easily arrange safe and reliable transportation to and from airport and guided us to a catamaran company with whom we were very pleased. The home itself is as beautiful as pictured, if not even more so! The bedrooms are very spatious and bathrooms equally so. Individualized air conditioning units for each room were also an added bonus. Above all, the staff were our best surprise of the trip. We anticipated enjoying having a chef and bartender as well as daily cleaner, but we did not anticipate the incredible joy that our quickly forming relationships with them would give to us! I cannot emphasize enough the truly unbeatable quality of the exceptional food and creativity of the drinks - but even better was the care with which they were created and served. Not to mention that Luis made my children fresh smoothies of their choice all day long and Manuel made sure there was always a child-friendly option at all of our meals. On our last evening the staff through our two children a Spider-Man themed birthday party after they had watched my son pretend to be Spider-Man all week long. They decorated and bought a piñata but most notably, they enjoyed celebrating with us and their presence made the party feel extra special to us!

The house? Exceptional. The staff? First class. We came with 4 other couples for a 40th birthday celebration. The property is well maintained and the staff was accommodating to our every need. It is a beautiful retreat!!!!

This vacation was a truly relaxing one. We didn’t have to cook or clean. We just needed to be present to fully enjoy it. W.O.W.! The owner was present when we arrived, and agin upon our departure. Additionally, they were available at any time by phone. An Absolutely Amazing property. It was as if we were in our own private hotel. Or perhaps as if we were royalty. Extremely comfortable for our family of 11 (8 adults, 3 children (11-13-16)). Wonderful and attentive staff, especially the kitchen crew who work long days and appear to love pleasing their guests. We had personally customized meals (three each day), and all adults and children considered them Excellent. Unbelievably excellent, made from scratch, food - which made going elsewhere unnecessary. Bartender always nearby, including the beach. Besides adult beverages, the kids enjoyed their "virgin" beverages. All in unlimited supply. Privacy all around, from the security gate to enter this section of properties, to the house, the beach, and the very private pool. Comfortable seating in all living, dining, and lounging areas, both inside and outside. Plenty of sunny and shady areas at both the beach and the pool to accommodate all interests. We enjoyed venturing in to the calm bay where one can walk many many yards, as well as snorkeling out even farther. All enjoyed the pool, both day and night. Onsite Massages were set up easily via email to owner. We had 30 minutes for the 11 and 13 year olds, 60 and 90 minutes for several adults. Very reasonably priced, and they were exceptionally good. A truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, at an exceptional custom-designed and built property - which we all hope comes true more than once for our family.

Our one weeks stay at Villa Vidorra was absolutely amazing. The villa it's self is more than we expected, with large spacious rooms and comfortable finishes. The rooms were immaculately serviced, clean and very neat at all times. The kitchen staff and chief served up the most delicious meals and we ate extremely well. They always had smiles on there faces and were very helpful. Our barman, Louis was amazing with all the different types of drinks he mixed everyday. He was an absolute delight, putting up with the 10 of us. What was exceptional was the way in which the staff join in and assisted us with decorating the pool area for my special birthday. They went out of their way to have the balloons blown up and assisted with everything else. They made my occasion very special and we had loads of fun. The pool area and gardens were very well kept. Clean and neat. I would highly recommend this venue to everyone.

Five couples from South Africa celebrated a 60th birthday at the Villa and the week long venue could not have been more perfect from day one with our welcome cocktail and the first amazing dinner feast prepared by the world class chef Manuel & his helpers Carlos & Roberto. The meals from breakfast, lunch & dinner were delicious & extremely well presented with the staff & the bartender Luis keeping us entertained & well taken care of at our every whim. The rooms were exceptionally clean & comfortable with the maid Vickie taking care of every detail. We enjoyed the beautiful pool area & the serene, white sandy beach relaxing on the day beds under the mangroves & the hammocks in between the palms when we weren't snorkeling canoeing or swimming in the bay. Although their are many sights to see & tempting activities that were offered to & organized for us, we found it hard to leave the property, but will be back to experience them. Our stay from beginning to end with every detail & request taken into account, including the organized transport to & from the Villa was well beyond our expectations from our gracious hosts, Chuck Barbara & Chris. We cannot thank them enough for providing a wonderful & a most memorable vacation of a life time.

We stayed in March 2018 for Spring Break with another family. 4 adults and 5 kids ages 5 to 9. The home is beyond beautiful and the staff is amazing! Great food and drinks and very attentive staff. The owner is on top of everything and goes above and beyond to ensure that your stay is absolutely perfect! The pool and beach areas are perfect. I don't think there is anything that we would have changed. A picture perfect vacation spot!

This five-star home will not disappoint! From the beautiful home, to the outdoor oasis, to the top-notch staff...we felt like we were living in the lap of luxury! My husband and I celebrated our 25th anniversary with four of our close friend couples. It was such an awesome week! The food prepared by the three wonderful chefs was simply amazing! The bartender was always there ready to fill your cup with your favorite drink or one of his specialties. The homeowners were so gracious in helping with any special requests. Can't wait to return!

We loved being at a wonderful home that was right in the beach. The staff clearly made our stay as comfortable as possible and we certainly appreciated the attention we received.

Beautiful home and owner went over and beyond to personally accommodate our needs Staff was also amazing
