Our hosts were welcoming and very responsive. The property sits on a lovely area of beach just off the reef so perfect for snorkeling or diving. We loved our cooking class and of course all the food was wonderful. If you’re looking for a spot with easy access to the sights of Tulum, this is your spot.
This is our third time staying here and never disappoints. We won’t stay anywhere else. Yobany, Louis, Grace, Edith and the one lady who comes every day to cook breakfast and clean are all amazing! We love them and that’s why we love coming back.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and the staff was fantastic! Especially Luis! The food was great and all we could have hoped for. If they would just fix the road into the property! :-)
This was a perfect home for a family vacation with adult children. The home is spotless, the beach is amazing, the location is excellent. The prepared food was delicious and Luiz’s margaritas each night were amazing! The online photos do not do the house justice.
This is my second time staying here and it is truly a magical place. There was 5 girls and we had plenty of room. The beds are very comfortable and love having the privacy of the 2 upstairs rooms. Our chef was amazing and cared for us the whole week. It feels like you have your own private beach. I can’t wait to go back!
What to say… the villa is just perfect! We had a wonderful time at the beach, snorkelling just out in the bay, kayaking… we all loved it and we would have never left. We had dinner prepared most evenings and this is really highly recommended! Food was amazing and eating outside in front of the bay was just priceless.
Thank you so much!!!
Even better than it appears online! Nice beach with snorkeling and kayaking right outside the house. We were able to easily swim to the reef with provided lifejackets and snorkel gear. The staff was lovely and dinners delicious. What a great way to spend a week with friends!
We had a great experience at this home. Conveniently located in an area that is quiet but has walkable options for a meal at nearby small hotels. Sandy beach at the property is very good, but it is rocky at the waterline -- so it isn't good for wading or playing in the water without using a kayak to go 100M off shore. Everything was in fine condition: working A/C in the bedrooms, kitchen appliances and layout is good, bathrooms/showers are nice, WiFi. No A/C in living area, but fans and open windows kept area comfortable during our January visit.
Wonderful people, house, and meals. The home cooked Mexican food was exceptional, and the entier staff was very helpful.
The only disappointment was the rockey waterfront. We found it difficult to enter the water from the property.
We really enjoyed our stay here. The staff was amazing and attended to our every need. Our favorite experience was the Mayan Cooking class. The place was comfortable and kept spotless. There are nice places to eat and grab a drink close by. We really enjoyed Casa Cenote Restaurant. We would definitely recommend for a relaxing family vacation. They exceeded our expectations and the pictures didn't do it justice.
This property has everything our family needed during our stay to celebrate the wedding festivities in Tulum. Luis and the housekeeping/cooking team were welcoming and helpful from arrival to departure. The meals were delicious and grocery service was seamless. Being on the beach with the ocean breeze and having the pool to lounge in was the best. Wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Tulum. Gracias!
We just got back from our stay at Casa Playa Azul and are sad to not be waking up to fresh fruit platters, gorgeous ocean views, and a sparkling clean house that we didn’t have to clean. I cannot say enough nice things about the house, the staff, the location, the meals, the beach or the amenities to truly do the place justice. This is my second time booking with Frank (my girls group had booked Casa Soledad in 2022) and the experience was the same so we knew how great it would be. Both properties are just stunning and I can’t say if I like one better than the other, though Soleada has one extra bedroom and bathroom. Either way, you will have a great time at Tankah Shores!
This is one of the best VRBO rentals we've done. Everything was top notch from the communication with the owner, the prep information and check in. The house was better than pictured and advertised, the house staff were wonderful, the location was quiet and ideal for our family of 6. A few specific points - the house has many spots to hang out, both inside and outside, with multiple views. The beach in front of the house is large and feels very private. We live near a beach so are used to rocky entries, the entry at the house has coral for about 100 yards so definitely bring water shoes. The water around the house is incredibly clear and beautiful and easily accessed by their paddle boards and kayaks. The kitchen is very well stocked but we took advantage of the staff cooking and it was great...not fancy but it felt like true home cooking. There is a cenote, a store and multiple bars and restaurants within a 5 minute walk. If you are looking for a quiet and wonderful getaway, book this house!
Our family stayed at the Casa Playa Azul the first week of June, we had such a good time, we want to go back! We were warmly welcomed by the staff upon our arrival and they took excellent care of us during our stay,
The house was more spacious than the pictures show. The house and surrounding grounds were well cared for. The menu options were delicious, the views and the ocean breeze were wonderful.
The directions we were given to get to the house were clear and easy to follow. They helped make our drive from Cancun pretty simple.
We enjoyed the privacy of having our own beach house for the week. Our family spent many hours in the pool, relaxing in the hammocks, and exploring the bay on the kayaks and paddle boards. This was a highlight of our trip.
Our family of six was never bored during the week here. There is so much to do, we didn't feel a need to leave the house much. This location is close to the highway and just a few minutes to Tulum, Tulum Ruins, and other prominent areas. Xcaret and other attractions are within about 30 minutes.
Many thanks to Yobani, Edith, Jose Luis, Odalis, and Gracie for their hospitality and care! We hope to return to this wonderful place for another visit someday!
The house, the beach, the views - all stunning. My husband is a builder and kept admiring the beautiful construction of the house. He kept saying "They had a vision and it all works so well." We loved the separate spaces for the bedrooms, the ensuite bathrooms, and the flow of the common spaces. We moved from beautiful space to beautiful space - the dining room, the living room, the outdoor dining areas, the pool, the beach. Every day we took out the kayaks and paddled and snorkeled out on the reef where we saw amazing fish. We did not snorkel in the lagoon (wish we had,) but we had lots of water time.
Lali and Grace made delicious food for us. Breakfast with Lali. Dinner with Grace. It was wonderful to spend the day in the sea and sun, and come in to a lovely dinner.
Jose Luis was always available to answer questions with his warm and smiling presence.
We visited two Mayan sites, floated the Mayan canal in Sian Ka'an. Mostly, we just enjoyed this very special place.
We found this place through friends who have stayed there three times. We hope we will do that as well. The memory will sustain us through the winter.
Can't wait to go back! Perfect rest for our family
Our stay at Casa Playa Azul was exactly what we needed. A comfortable home, a beautiful setting and plenty to do without going anywhere. We travelled with our 5 children ages 16-20 and they all found what they needed in this restful, engaging location. We found them at the pool and beach in the sun, curled with books in the hammocks, and out to sea on paddle boards.
Each day we made a study of lizards, birds, fish, crabs, agouti, coati, raccoons, the cenote crocodile and the neighborhood's cats. It was an amazing location for a naturalist! We highly recommend a quick walk to the cenote at sunset to see many species of birds fly in to roost, or just after dark to shine a light on Pancho, the cenote crocodile as he soaks in the clear, shallow water near the lane. An Osprey kept frequent watch from our coconut tree.
Luis, Odalis, Edith and Gracie did a wonderful job caring for the property, sharing information and making truly delicious meals. We found everything we needed, including games, puzzles, movies, books, paddle boards, kayaks and snorkeling equipment. Those who paddled out to the reef enjoyed seeing rays in the water, while snorkeling close to the house and the nearby piers brought huge schools of fish (watch where the pelicans and terns fish to experience this).
It was an incredible get away for our family, and we all agree it is a destination of choice for the future.
With thanks,
Juan and Jennie Morris and family
We've stayed here previously 15 years ago! It has been improved since we stayed last. The AC in the bedrooms kept them comfortable. The cooks did a fantastic job for us and the convenience of having breakfast and dinner cooked for us each day was fabulous. We will be back!
Everything from check in to meals were amazing! Definitely get the enchiladas! Luis was so sweet and super helpful the entire time. Beds were very comfortable. No issues at all!
Fabulous stay in August with my family, wife and two boys (18 and 16). Great accommodation, spacious everything you need. The team there are brilliant. The food is fantastic a real luxury to not have to trapse out or cook for yourself. It was sargassum season but the beach was cleaned daily. Still easy to take paddleboards out to the reef to snorkel. Lovely peaceful location right on the beach. Lots provided (snorkelling clear, kayaks and paddleboards). Book and enjoy a great break. Definitely use the catering option every meal was exceptional!
