“For those seeking a raw, eco-conscious experience intertwined with Tulum's party scene, this property presents an intriguing option. Its commitment to Mayan culture and sustainability distinguishes it, with wellness programs and artistic events adding depth. However, inconsistent service and upkeep may disappoint travelers expecting a polished resort experience; the focus seems to prioritize the vibrant Saturday night party over consistent luxury.”
