Stunning location

Our stay in this villa has been a very nice experience. The location is great, the house is open and directly on the private beach. This is the best thing of this house. The kitchen and the rooms are in good condition even if the property should improve the appliances and the furniture in general. The house is very quiet and quite clean. There is a mexican couple that attend the house and they are willing to satisfy your needs. Of course you have to leave a tip for their help. When we arrived the 3 lockers where unusable and this brought to a very serious problem so be sure that the lockers are opened at the time you arrive, also because people say there are thieves in the area. The house is about 6 km. from Tulum and so you need a car or call a taxi to move. At a short walk distance you can find a nice "cenote" and a small market that is very helpfull. The beach is excellent and cleaned every day. We where there in hig season but the beach was empty! But is not so easy to take a bath and swimm in the ocean because of the low water but the house is provided with two canoes and with that you can reach the coral reef that has clean water and wonderfull sea life.

Owner's Response: When traveling anywhere in the world it is best to protect your valuables. Casa de Ensuneo provides a number of safes for the villa. Casa de Ensueno has never had an issue with theft, as the caretakers that live on the grounds. (Theft typically in Mexico is opportunistic.) To insure our guests comfort, Ensueno makes sure to provide a safe environment by providing a fenced entry, private covered parking, multiple safes, and lockable suites. Guests are also under the care of our long time property manager, Arlene, who is American, during their stay.
Water entry off Tankah Tres beach is wonderfully shallow and filled with beautiful sea creatures. The barrier reef allows small coral heads and soft corals to grow near the shore. There are even some inviting sandy spots to enter the water as well as all through the bay, but wearing Aqua shoes or fins is suggested to protect both feet and the delicate formations below. The snorkeling is quite lovely both on the bay, and in the cenote just a few lots away. Tankah Beach's light, grainy, coral sand is beautiful as it is produced by all the coral formations just steps into the water. Tankah Tres Bay offers incredible snorkeling and diving, and is known around the world as a destination point.
