Pepem Holistic Experience - Peaceful Retreat Near Tulum

It was definitely an experience. A good one! But like most, the photos and instagram posts looked better than actually being there. I felt like being that we were in middle of the jungle, literally, there would have been more accommodations. We thought they would have a yoga instructor on site as shown on their instagram page but they didn’t. They had the space where we could do it ourselves. No room service options, at least not to our knowledge + I seen nothing regarding spa treatment. The pool was on maybe 2-3 days while we were there which was an inconvenience being that the pool fills up easily with leaves and dead bugs. And our stay was for 11 days. Having about 4 cenotes at walking or biking distance was great! We did 2 of them but I still think having the pool ready for us would’ve been best considering it was steps away from our cabana. The food was really good. And the staff was super friendly. It was about 40 mins away from Tulum Beach (not their fault) so we opted to leave early and stay by the beach for the remainder of our vacation. FYI; make sure to rent a car because paying for taxis gets ridiculously expensive. This particular hotel is far from everything!

Horrible overall

Beautiful & Peaceful! I will be back

Pepem Eco is a fantastic place to stay. Our room was perfect, it had a small pool, and glass all-around. The staff was awesome, Fernando and Sol took great care of us. Food was great, drinks were great as well. Beware, there’s no AC in the room, but at this time of the year we didn’t really need it, as it was cool enough during the night.

Great! it's lovely to be in the middle of the jungle yet with all the comfort needed. The Pepem villa with panoramic view is incredible! Access to the property is a bit difficult and taxis are expensive so it's worth considering renting a car.

Pepem is an eco hotel. It’s a wonderful place if you want to disconnect from the world. We didn’t encounter a lot of bugs like other reviews said there would be but it is in the middle of the jungle so be prepared. Also, there’s no wifi in the rooms nor hot water. We did love that there’s a small restaurant down the road called “Juanita’s” very good and affordable. There’s also a lot of cenotes around the area, our favorite one was “dos ojos” which you can find in front of the restaurant. Overall we enjoyed our stay and the staff was amazing.

This please is absolutely beautiful & breath taking views, but so scary!! The drive to the hotel is about 2/3 miles deep into the jungle no lights or scenes of security- it’s very on edge point watching every movement bc you seriously feel that you can get kidnapped!! The room is all ECO friendly no AC no ceiling fans, the staff asks that you charge your phones or electronics during the day as it’s all solar powered. There are no walls it is all screen windows- bathroom is see through windows felt like the neighbor Could see me- at night you hear the frogs underneath the flooring as well as all the other wild life- I had the unfortunate experience of finding huge bugs on my bed!! So, even though this was a beautiful & Romantic it is not comfortable if you’re not an all green individual or looking to feel 100% safe -

This property is beautiful and has a great echo friendly concept, but it’s just not for us. There should be some kind of “warning” on what you are getting in to. Too many mosquitos outside as well as inside (all over the house). My husband and I got bitten everywhere from head to toes. No AC they only had one very small fan. The pool was empty when we got there had to wait around 1 1/2 hrs for it to get filled. Once we get in the pool water was beyond cold. The next morning we had NO hot or at least warm water to shower. It was a very unpleasant experience.

Nuestra estancia estuvo muy agradable es un lugar muy inspirador. Lo único que recomendaría es que confirmaran el tipo de cabaña que reservan, ya que al llegar la cabaña que habíamos reservado estaba en remodelación y nos dieron una más pequeña y dijeron que nos reembolsarían el cambio pero la diferencia realmente es nada 7usd y aun no se ha reembolsado ésta. Sobre todo por el tipo de cabaña que habíamos visto en las fotos. De ahí en fuera el lugar nos encantó!

My experience was amazing! One of the best places i ever stayed at. The only bad thing, are the mosquitoes which is totally understandable, this place is in the jungle. Just have a lot of mosquitoes spray and you ll be fine. Amazing! Stuff very very very VERY NICE. I would repeat the experience anytime! Thank you!
