Caribbean feel. The whitest, softest sand at your feet; the water just a few meters from you and the only sound your hear is the sound of the ocean, the wind and your company. Retiro Maya is truly a place to unwind and unplug. Leave your worries behind and get fueled up for whatever is coming next. Do not expect... More

We didn't stay at Retiro Maya, so I can't speak about the accommodations there. We were staying in town (Tulum) and so needed to head to a resort to get beach access. We chose Retiro Maya based on a number of friends' reviews and it ended up being an EXCELLENT CHOICE. They have ample parking and the resort seemed very... More

Last month we have been travelling a lot in Mexico, having our honeymoon and we had some good and bad Mexican experiences. After a very intense time in Chiapas we arrived in Tulum. It was supposed to be just a two-days stop but when we arrived in Retiro Maya we felt like home. Federico was the first person we met... More

I stayed at several hotels in Tulum and this one was my favorite. If you are expecting a 5 star resort, Tulum will disappoint you. This town is very laid back, boho chic, no hairdriers/curling irons (electricity goes out a lot too), spotty cell service...truly an 'off the grid/sand in your toes the entire time' vacation. That said, Retiro Maya's... More

A beautiful location and great service staff, they were friendly and very accommodating. We rented the beach house with our 5 older children over the Christmas holiday and although expensive, we had a very good and relaxing time. We found the service staff did a very good job cleaning the house every day. A 20 meter walk out the door... More

I recently stayed 4 nights at Retiro Maya and had only reserved 3. I had read all of the TripAdvisor reviews before I came and wasn't sure what to expect. When I first arrived, I saw the beautiful turquoise water through a path of lush greenery and adorable cabana porches with chairs and hammocks. I felt such a sense of... More

Retiro Maya is a great little eco resort if you don't pay fulll price! Along this stretch of beach there are numerous hotels. They are all rustic and small. If you enjoy camping and outdoor living then Tulum is the place for you. Our room was the second back from the ocean. Had an amazing view, a small patio with... More

This place could be a very nice one. Directly at a nice beach, somewhere under palms. Expensive, but nice. The small "team" was friendly. The rooms are a bit too small, everything is simple equipped, crabs and spiders on the wall, on the floor and in front of your cabana -->> the simple life. No big problems until here. But:... More

Retiro Maya was absolutely gorgeous. The location is excellent, the tranquillity and beauty of this property are what will bring me back to these cabanas. Our cabana was so lovely and quaint, it was also clean. I laid on our hammock during the early mornings and watched the waves crash onto the shore. We were 10 steps from the most... More
