We just stayed at Villa Pescadores for a long weekend, and had an absolutely wonderful time. I can, without hesitation, recommend this hotel, and hope to go back soon!

Communication with the hotel was excellent from the get-go, and they connect with you on WhatsApp (if you have it, of course) prior to arrival which makes it very easy to have travel questions, room service, activity recommendation, and transportation questions answered quickly and remotely without having to call.

With only 22 villas at the resort, the atmosphere is wonderfully calm and relaxing. The rooms are very well-appointed (spring for the Deluxe King rooms with a balcony if you can!) and room service keeps them up every day. The bath products are really, amazing, and they provide their own bug repellent in the bathroom in your room, as well as bath and pool towels, and very nice bath robes. The beds are super comfy, and loaded with pillows. The rooms also have refrigerators for storage of food and beverages.

Breakfast on the beach each morning is one of the highlights of the trip, and the food is absolutely delicious. Each day there’s a decidedly Mexican option available, as well as a more American/European (scrambled eggs, omelette, etc.) option. Each morning we were provided with a fruit plate or pancake starter option in addition to the main breakfast entrée.

The thing that really makes this hotel shine, other than its stunning location (make sure to check out snorkeling with the sea turtles which departs immediately next to the hotel!) is the amazing staff. They are all very kind, and hard-working to make your stay comfortable.

A note about park entry: the villas are located within a national park, which makes things a bit stranger than they need to be. No reusable plastic or alcohol is permitted, and they do search bags/cars periodically, so you have to be a bit creative with regard to those two items. If you enter between about 9 a.m.-6 p.m. you ALSO have to pay an entry fee to the park, even though you’re a hotel guest. It’s 60MXN, and the hotel will reimburse you for it once.

Transportation into town is a nightmare of over-priced taxis (25USD each way) as they have successfully made Uber illegal. If you can, try to find a private driver prior to your arrival to keep costs down. Also, if you arrive at the new TQO airport, be aware of the insane taxi prices, which can be up to 210USD one-way (yes, you read that right). We took the ADO bus, which was 7.50USD one-way into Tulum Centro, and then a taxi to the hotel for 400MXN. Considering there were three of us, that saved a ton of money. We found a private driver for the trip back to the airport direct from the hotel for 800MXN, which was nearly the same price as it would have been to take a taxi into Tulum Centro and then the ADO bus to the airport.
