You need to contact the property 24 hours prior to confirm that you’re coming. Otherwise they will assume you will not show up. They will not reach out to you. I tried to call them to let them know we were coming in late and no one picked up. This is one of those Instagram vs reality situations. Room was beautiful but dirty. Of course this is in the middle of the jungle so expect bugs and spiders creeping everywhere. Sheets and pillows smelled so bad, like sweat. All pools were dirty. The pool bed in our villa was wet and smelly. In the morning when I talked to the staff, he smelled like alcohol and he couldn’t walk straight. This could have been a wonderful experience and I was really looking forward to it only to be disappointed. For the price you pay, it’s not worth it. Hopefully they train their staff better and maintain the property like they advertise.

I stayed at the Yellow Nest for 5 nights. Staff was amazing and very attentive. We were a group of four 4 girls and felt completely safe. They provided transportation when we wanted to escape downtown, and recommended amazing cenotes. I would recommend to stay a max of 3-4 nights because the property is deep in the jungle. And bring a lot of insect repellent. Other than that everything was good and Josi, Ossi, Miguel, and so many other people made this trip a time to remember.

The service was exceptional. Right from when we arrived until we departed, we were provided with so much attention at any minute of the day and night. My company and I are vegetarian , the chef Julio, made us really good vegetarian authentic mexican food. Besides that, Miguel provided us with such a nice tour of the Taak Bi ha cenote and the Manager Ernesto was really accomodating and provided us with every service possible. The villa was astonishingly beautiful. Our stay at the Yellow Nest was the highlight of our trip and I highly highly recommend visiting it.

Absolutely beautiful property set in the jungle. Gorgeous pools and grounds! Easy to get to local cenotes and they were fantastic!! Nic Te Ha and Taak Bi Ha was a wonderful introduction to cenotes! We had Nic Te Ha to ourselves for an hour! It was lovely!! Very friendly staff, but there was a mix up in communication and we never had our floating breakfast. Next time!

I recently stayed at Yellow Nest Tulum, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The location is perfect, nestled in a tranquil part of Tulum, yet close enough to explore the vibrant town and beautiful beaches. The rooms are beautifully designed with a perfect blend of modern amenities and natural elements, creating a serene and comfortable atmosphere.
The staff at Yellow Nest Tulum went above and beyond to ensure our stay was memorable. They were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and always available to assist with any needs or questions. The on-site amenities, including the stunning pool and delicious restaurant, added to the overall experience, making it a true paradise.
I especially appreciated the attention to detail in every aspect of the property, from the lush landscaping to the thoughtful touches in the rooms. It's evident that the team takes great pride in maintaining a high standard of service and quality.
I highly recommend Yellow Nest Tulum for anyone seeking a relaxing and luxurious getaway. It's a hidden gem in Tulum that exceeded all my expectations. Five stars all the way!

This place is great if you are wanting to relax and unplug from the world in a calming atmosphere. The staff is very accommodating to all needs and the food/drinks are amazing! Samuel was a delightful concierge and made sure we were well taken care of and that all was arranged for our airport transfer. Do take note this place is a good ways from downtown. To visit the hotel district/main beach road of Tulum would require a taxi when leaving the park which can be rather expensive. They do have free bike rentals to use to visit the surrounding Cenotes however the road is very rocky and it is better to walk it. Only AC at night in the villas. We enjoyed our stay

My wife and I stayed for 2 nights and we LOVED it. Beautifully designed and maintained, it’s hidden away in the jungle and promotes relaxation and calm. The staff were excellent, kind and caring, the food first class and the overall ambience like nothing we’ve experienced before. Both pools were breathtaking and the local cenotes are incredible. We’ve already urged our friends to visit and would stay here again in a heartbeat. 5* from us!!

It was the best stay me and my wife ever had. The staff was next level. Amazing and unique experience!! Luis was a leader and did an excellent job leading the temezcal. Brandon, Javier, Jorge, Yaz were so attentive and so were the other staff. Food and drinks by the chef was next level. Overall the best experience possible. Thank you team!

Temazcal una experiencia única !
Enamorada de este lugar ! Es un paraíso donde te conectas con la naturaleza , comida deliciosa, trato el lugar todo es excelente !
Pero lo que más recomendaría es el temazcal si quieres tener una experiencia única , fue algo para mi tan especial que sentí que libere todo mis sentimientos de tristeza, estrés y todo eso que necesitamos dejar ir .
Miguel es la persona que se encarga del temazcal se los súper recomiendo no lo dejen de hacer y terminenlo sumergiéndose al agua eso me ayudó muchísimo ! Quisiera estar ahí de nuevo .

The Yellow Nest is a unique hotel with a lot of character. The staff was excellent from the moment we arrived. We thought the grounds were creatively decorated and the architecture of the huts were also nice to see. While the huts without A/C don't offer the modern convenience, they nevertheless have the rest of the conveniences and the ability to have a unique stay. We enjoyed the cenote tours with Luis Miguel who was an excellent and kind tour guide! The cenotes in the area are incredible and some of the best experiences we had during our entire trip. We would recommend this hotel to anyone who is looking to venture outside the normal path and have a great story to share with the staff and to tell to friends and family.
