We really liked Cesiak/Boca Paila. Yes, it's relatively expensive if you are expecting luxury, but the amazing views of both ocean and lagoon are like nothing else. Every day people gather there for the sunset over the lagoon. The food was just fine and much less expensive than the places on the beach in Tulum. The fish with garlic or... More

Stayed for 9 days in March 2012. Wonderful, excellent place, especially if you love nature. Lots of birds, crabs, beach wildlife. Empty white sand beach for miles. Sunrise, sunset, and moonrise views from the dining room deck. Crashing waves on one side, serene lagoon on the other. The stars are so bright you can see starlight on the water. The... More

My son and I had a great afternoon kayaking around the lagoon - we saw Osprey, Herons, Egrets, Frigate Birds and many more. Our guide Jorge was excellent and made particular efforts to include my son. It was great to get away from the crowds in Playa del Carmen and see some of the 'real' Mexico. The food at the... More

We stayed here for 2 nights at the end of March 2012. It is beautiful and not far from Tulum at all! We were pleased by the good quality of the dirt road. All staff was very helpful and friendly, even when we checked in at 1 am after a whole day in Xcaret. The nights are noisy with the... More

We loved how the central building patio has a view over the ocean to the east, and the lagoon to the west, nightly dinner at the superb restaurant by sunset! We adored it but by our fourth night in the wind-whipped tent we were ready to move on, we were humid and salty, gave up on showering since the showers... More

Spent four nights at Cesiak and had a really unique experience. Cesiak is made up of a grouping of tents that sit on a bluff that extends between a beach and a protected lagoon. It takes a while to get to (we took a taxi from the Cancun airport) so you really feel like you are at the end of... More

We stayed March 1-5 at CESIAK with friends for a dance retreat in cabana ! on the north side of the main building. A small flashlight helps if you get up in the night. The wind felt strong when we arrived but we quickly got used to it. There are two supermarkets in Tulum, the San Francisco which is like... More

We stayed at Cesiak for two nights and were excited about getting a nice tent cabin, with balcony, on top of the dune overlooking the beach and water. We were less excited as the days wore on and the incessant wind was making our tent flap, flap, flap, all day and night. The zipper on our tent was broken and... More

We spent 3 nights at the Cesiak lodge In January 2012. I think it is wonderful alternative to the far too hip and trendy accommodations in the bungalows in Tulum. While the tent cabanas are indeed basic, they are spotlessly clean and beautifully situated. The bathrooms are not private - they are shared and are also kept very clean. The... More
