Reviews of The Yellow Nest Tulum 5 stars

Everything was spectacular. The service, staff, food, atmosphere is to die for!

I mean let's begin with the people because these guys are angels! Such great, on-it and sweet staff, Arturo, Jorge, Luis Miguel, the whole team at the restaurant. They made my stay absolutely perfect and incomparable. Then, the place is just a temple on top of a Cenote and you can feel the energy and vibe coming from underneath.

NOTHING everything was perfection.

We were welcomed with a welcome drink! staff is so friendly humble willing to help ! Food is amazinggggggg omgggg ! We took a room that was a bit smelly , and when we told the staff they immediately helped and changed the room to a neat clean one ! Also

Nothing !!! But i would choose a room without a private pool for next time

We stayed at The Yellow Nest for one night to celebrate my 40th Birthday. I wish we could have stayed longer. Even before we arrived the concierge contacted me with all necessary information and details on how to find them. We were greeted by Ramses, a newer concierge to the team; he was energetic and great to talk with, given welcome drinks and he also gave us a tour of the grounds after we had a quick shower to cool off! AMAZING! We stayed in a villa with a/c and a private pool. The villa was beautifully decorated, comfortable and much larger than I expected. Miguel, the other concierge, I cannot stay enough about! He had so much information about the surrounding area and the history. These two along with the rest of the staff (sorry I cannot remember names) really made you feel welcome and part of the family. We did luck out as it was low season, so they weren't overly busy! We had dinner on site and the food was delicious and nice sized portions! In the morning we had their floating breakfast (highly recommended) in a gorgeous setting. I should add that you can book the floating breakfast without staying there, and you won't be disappointed! Post breakfast Miguel took us on a cenote tour that was indescribable. Had we gone alone we wouldn't have found half the areas he brought us to in the underground paradise. We returned to Yellow Nest after visiting the cenote to take part of a traditional temazcal ceremony, led by Miguel, which left us feeling at peace and even more intrigued about the Mayan traditions. When it came time to leave, we were sad, but grateful for the connections we made, amd we can't wait to return to spend a few nights, as one wasn't enough! Thanks Yellow Nest for making my 40th Birthday one of the best yet!

Thanks!

Everything especially the staff were so helpful

The staff was so helpful, will to help in any way. It is secluded and set back, a great place to unplug! The food was always good!

This place is truly a hidden gem - beautifully decorated and incredibly cozy, nestled right in the heart of the bush. The staff were wonderfully welcoming and kind, especially the concierge, Arturo. The way he treated us made us feel truly special! The steam bath (Temazcal) took us on a profound spiritual journey and awakened our inner healing. We were lucky enough to experience it twice at 2 PM, as arriving early and leaving late was no issue at all - even though we had only booked one night. They really care about their guests!!! Both pools were fantastic, and the food at the restaurant was absolutely delicious - especially the tropical salad. We also had the floating breakfast, which was made even more special with a sparkler surprise in the middle of the basket to celebrate my husband's birthday. The Yellow Nest is within walking distance of Cenote Taak Bi Ha, one of the most beautiful cenotes in Yucatán. If you're planning to stay at The Yellow Nest, I highly recommend booking at least two nights and enjoying both the dinner and the floating breakfast for a well-rounded experience.

The outdoor pool and terrace by our room could have used a quick clean before our arrival. The air conditioning stopped working early in the morning around 5:30 AM, which was a bit inconvenient - but we understand that small issues like this can happen anywhere.

Everything! The location was exactly what my partner and I needed. We were in the middle of the jungle, away from the noise in the most amazing space. The staff went above and beyond for us, even upgraded us to a villa for our last night. The food was to die for, the drinks were delicious. We will be going back! Thank you Dante, Arturo, Jorge, and everyone else who made our vacation an amazing one. We will come back!

Nothing

My top favorite place. That was my second time, I could’ve selected another one in the area, but this place has the best service, best vibe, best atmosphere, best food, wonderful people. I’ll be back again. Thank you, “The Yellow Nest” for your magic and hospitality.

I liked everything

We had an awesome stay there for our honeymoon. Hotel is clean, and very beautiful in the middle of the forest! Great for relaxing and disconnecting. The highlight is the service: Arturo, Jorge, and all other employees are VERY responsive and super kind, they should be very well rewarded for their exceptional work! Food is insanely good, 10/10. We loved it from the beginning, and would definitely come back! Gracias por todo!

Not all rooms have air conditioning. This was expected and didn't affect our stay, but it is worth mentioning for those not used to the hot weather from the region. WiFi is not reliable, which was also not a problem for us.

The Yellow Nest Tulum was one of the best places we’ve ever stayed. The setting is beautiful and peaceful, surrounded by nature, and the rooms are clean, spacious, and thoughtfully designed. The natural pool was a highlight for us—it’s the perfect place to relax and cool off. The whole property is well taken care of and has a calm, welcoming atmosphere. We also loved the yoga classes with Gaby. She’s an excellent instructor who created a supportive and positive environment. Practicing yoga in such a quiet, natural space really helped us start each day feeling relaxed and refreshed. The staff made our experience even more special. They were so friendly, attentive, and genuinely cared about making our stay great. They surprised us with a private candlelit dinner and bonfire, where we roasted marshmallows for dessert. They also organized a private temazcal experience, which was really unique and meaningful. A big thank you to Jorge, Dante, Sebastián, Joshimar, Arturo, and Gaby for going above and beyond. Their hospitality made this our favorite trip to Tulum.

N/A

Everything. It was absolutely perfect relaxation in the jungle. The food was incredible. Especially chef Julio who did us a five star signature meal and it was perfect. Every day they went way and beyond to give us the best food ever the flavours were the best I’ve ever tasted. The staff were amazing and went out of their way to make it the most perfect stay ever. Absolutely loved the morning yoga with Gabby and the massage she gave. Dante upgraded us on her last night to a villa, which was amazing. There were so many birds and wildlife Loved every unique bit about it

As others have said-the road going to it would be a lot more easier to access if it was paved however it didn’t affect us as we just drove slowly. Air conditioning in the nests would be a cherry on top. Also bits of rubbish picked up along the road, in the front car park, and by the side of the pools (down where Frank the iguana sat ) could be addressed, however, I am a bit OCD! Also it appears they can take 30 day guests each day, which if we were the kind of people to sit around a pool all day might get a little bit busy, but from what we saw they were respectful and quiet. I love the fact they could drop you off if you didn’t have a car, but access to the bikes and them kept in better maintenance would’ve been good so we could have a bike ride

It is in a nature reserve which makes it very quiet at night. The staff were very good, especially Dante the manager. Highly recommend the horse riding and Cenotes trip you can do locally.

It does feel a long way from anywhere because it is at the end of a rough road. But if you talk to the manager he will organise transport for you in the nature reserve.

The food was great, but the Villa had Scorpions. The staff were really nice. Especially the Property Manager, Dante and Miguel.

A true little slice of paradise in the middle of the jungle! The hotel is perfectly located to explore the most beautiful cenotes in the area (some are even accessible on foot or by bike, which the hotel kindly provides). The room is super cozy and peaceful — waking up to the sound of birds in the morning is just magical. The two pools are stunning, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The staff and concierge service? Absolutely amazing! Friendly, helpful, and always making sure everything is perfect. We were lucky enough to celebrate a very special moment there, and they welcomed us with such kindness and made it possible in this incredible setting. If you’re looking for a place to truly unwind, recharge, and make the most of your vacation — this is it!

It was great staying at the yellow nest, the location is very convenient if you want to visit the cenotes or any of the water parks. The only slight inconvenience is the road leading to the hotel, needs to be paved, otherwise a great experience.

Beautiful hidden gem off the beaten path surrounded by peaceful jungle and cenotes you can visit. It's the perfect place to unwind if you like to be tucked away from the cities and crowds. The resort and rooms are kept so clean and the staff are so nice! They really know how to make you feel welcome and comfortable. The concierges are so helpful and friendly, and the servers work hard to pamper you. The food was delicious, i really enjoyed their refreshing fruit flavored waters and their amazing coffee. I would definitely come back here!

This was the highlight of our trip. The atmosphere is amazing, it is an oasis in the middle of the jungle. So quiet and peaceful yet very comfortable. Beautiful nature all around. Two pools, one in the sun and one in the shade. Also a free Mayan sauna. We had the villa which was amazingly decorated, water pressure very good. We received welcome drinks when arrived. You will have to eat at the hotels restaurant but it is very very good! Prizes are fair for the good quality and amount of food. Morning yoga so fun! And most importantly - the staff were absolutely fantastic and we felt so welcome and well taken care of. Iguana’s are btw a part of the crew. There is cenotes in the area you can walk to.

The road to get there is very bad - but it is a part of the experience when you go to the middle of the jungle!
