We did a four day group trip to celebrate getting married and had an amazing experience. It’s basically like having your own beach club and the concierge worked very hard to make sure we had everything that we needed.

Property's Favourite Review
We spent a week at Casa de Las Palmas for my wedding, and it was such a magical time. I can't speak more highly of the on-site staff (Miriam in particular) and how accommodating they are. Mahayana is a very special, unique place which allows you to feel secluded while having all of the attractions of Tulum nearby. I highly recommend staying here.

Where do I start on how amazing this trip was. I have vacationed at resorts in Maya Riveria 9 times but Tulum is a very special place. The Casas were secluded but you were a one lane dirt road away from boutique shopping and restaurants that looked like I stepped into South Beach Miami. I am talking fire dancers and people swinging from the ceilings. We stayed in Casa Del Palma (4 bedroom) the rooms were spacious with our own showers and bathrooms and the rooms were concrete so you could not hear other guests. Chablely and Miriam were there to help us with personal chefs, transportation and dinner reservations. The taco bar had the best fresh food everyday , I truly miss it and it was steps from our door. You do need to stock up your own liquor for drinks. Only food at the taco bar. The pool is perfect for watching people walking on the beach, i did not see very many villas with ocean front pools. If you get the chance to vacation in Tulum, you must stay at Mahayana…

Thanks to Miriam, Chabely, and the entire staff at Mahayanna for an experience like no other. We stayed in the 4 bedroom villa Casa De Le Palmas and the place was perfect for the 4 couples. So many touches that instantly made you comfortable and relaxed. transportation was handled--groceries and libations were all there when we arrived---a private chef for dinner!!!!---Steps from the beach--warm ocean breeze (in February) --plenty of sun and shade--and our own breakfast and a taco bar 50 feet from our villa for guests only!!!! All of the restaurants and night life you need within a short walk from the private front gate!! Access to a ride anywhere you needed to go!! WOW! Can't wait to get back!

Hopefully we‘re able to come back.

Thank you for the kind review! Zorba Tulum and Mahayana Tulum are sister property, both located right on the beach in the boutique hotel area of Tulum. It was a pleasure to host you at both our villa properties, and we hope to welcome you back soon. You are always welcome!

Very nice beach houses directly on the beach of Tulum. Super equipped kitchen and very clean. Also the beds and pillows are very comfortable. You can also buy breakfast or lunch in a small hut on the beach. It is nicely prepared and tastes very fresh!

One of the best places I’ve stayed at. Right on the beach far away enough, if you need peace and quiet. Close enough to the party and restaurant scenes. I booked a room for my bachelor's party for 7 guys. This place was expensive but was worth the money. You have staff on site for all your hotel needs. The only thing I didn’t like was the $28 I had to pay for bringing our water, alcohol, and snacks. $28 is not a lot but just no need for it. In the end, I give this place a 5 out of 5.

Thank you for booking with us! Great to hear you enjoyed the premium location in the heart of Tulum, right on the beach. Mahayana is a great place to stay for those looking to explore the famous Tulum area on foot, with the ability to easily retreat to a private oasis for downtime and relaxation. We would like to clarify the extra charge was to the airport transfer company. They charge an extra $30 to make a stop along the way (up to one hour). Guests can use this stop to pick up groceries, liquor, or any supplies they want to bring to the house. We do not charge to bring these items, it is the transfer company charging for the added time. Our team is happy to book your airport transfer and can make a note of a grocery stop if you need. We can also arrange pre-stocking with Riviera Maya Grocery for those wanting to stock their own groceries and have everything at the house ready and waiting for them.

Absolutely fabulous! The Mayahana Team certainly delivered. Gorgeous accommodations shared by 2 families of 4. Lots of room and only 20 ft from the beach. We were staying a another villa that disappointed, and loved to Mahayana, truly the highlight of our trip

We stayed in the eclectic treehouse. It was fun, but definitely make sure you're okay with noise late at night and not super cold air conditioning. The cleaning at Mahayana was top notch. From the daily cleaning crews of the homes, to the crew cleaning the beach- it was always clean. The security was also great. There was always a security guard or two between 8pm & 8am. I loved the sense of security felt by knowing that. I can also not say enough good things about the location. The private beach front access was gorgeous, and you are within a 20 min walk from anything and everything you'd want to do in the hotel district. The only time we left for was a yoga/cenote tour, which we booked through Mahayana. I definitely recommend it! It was a lot of fun and a great price for transportation (about a 30 min drive), a guided yoga class, aromatherapy, fresh fruit & juice, and time in the cenote. The only thing we had an "issue" with at Mahayana was trying to get change for large US bills, so please consider that when planning for your trip :) We would definitely come back, but we would book a home instead of the treehouse!…

Thank you for staying with us at Mahayana! The Treehouse is affected by street sounds and late-night restaurants due to the minimal construction style and more permeable walls. The Treehouse is built with slender treetrunks which offers a certain charm but means it is not suitable for anyone sound sensitive. We hope to welcome you back to one of our luxury homes on the property for your next stay! The Casa Gaia house is also a wonderful option for two and sits right by the sea. Happy to hear you enjoyed the central location to explore the famous Tulum area by walking and of course the private beachfront. We hope to see you soon on the beach!
