Xtambaa Cabins & Spa Only Adults

We had a great stay at Xtambaa! i am a huge fan of the bed, incl. blankets and pillows! The little houses are spacious and very well equipped. we stayed only one night, so couldn't use it that much but we were quite surprised. The price-quality ratio is definitely the best we've seen on our trip so far (and we stayed in 5 different hotels already). We also really liked the shower (just make sure you put the lid over the sink when you are done showering otherwise it will start smelling bad). Further, the AC worked very well. we turned it on for 20min only and the house was nice and cool until the next morning. no need to have it running all the time. last but not least, communication via booking chat was perfect. we got all the info we needed and Gustavo - the owner - was very responsive. it would be a bit more difficult if you don't have mobile internet. So if you are reading this here it is probably the moment for you to make the booking at Xtambaa!

We would clearly stay here again and recommend this place. The only thing we'd improve is having a kettle in the room. it took quite a long while to boil water on the little stove. (my husband had a sore throat so we made a loot of tea. not what one usually does in a hot country) also we found the breakfast in the little cafe a few streets away nice but if you really want to eat ahead of a day of adventures, you probably end up paying extra as the combo included is not a lot. Didn't bother us as but I find it relevant mentioning.

really lovely and secluded cabin, great value for money, super close to the beach & lovely helpful staff

could do with a new shower head but didn’t detract from our stay!

Lovely property close to the beach, well equipped, clean and comfortable, lovely breakfast included at a nearby cafe, exceptional service from the owner who was extremely helpful and friendly. Definitely recommend.

This was definitely our favourite staying of all our holidays. Gustavo has a beautiful place, very comfortable and decorated in every detail. Gusvato was a great host, he gave us a bungalow upgrade and made our staying in El Cuyo very special. You can have yoga in the morning in the garden and there is a spa where you can have a gorgeous massage under the flowers. There is also a small corner gym. There is a small kitchen with the necessary to cook, even though we haven’t used it, and free water. The place is 2 minutes walk from the beach. The breakfast is in a caffè also run by Gustavo, close by. Staff speaks in English and was very helpful.

The swimming pool wasn’t chlorinated (I believe) and so it was a bit dirty and full of mosquitoes in the afternoon. We didn’t have any issues and it was lovely. I would probably recommend to improve on the communication. We didn’t have internet during our travelling and I didn’t read Gustavo’s messages about the self check-in. We were lucky that someone was there when we arrived. I would probably suggest to notify about it at the moment of the reservation, as well as giving a bit more information about how the breakfast works (we found out only last day that we could get something else by paying the difference). That said, we really loved El Cuyo and Gustavo’s bungalows. I would definitely come back every weekend if I could! Thank you for everything and, please, keep El Cuyo as it is!

The bed (omg it felt like sleeping on heaven), the easy and quick communication with the host, the location, the furniture, the free breakfast in the cafe

maybe that the pool was super cold, but apart from that nothing

We had a delightful stay at Xtambaa in the Canela cabin. The charming cabin exuded a comforting cinnamon scent. The bed was the highlight of our Mexico trip, it was super comfortable. The location added to the overall appeal; close to the beach, restaurants and shops. Breakfast is included and served at Cafe Anahata, which is also hosted by Gustavo and his wife. Highly recommend Xtambaa for a memorable stay.

The water pressure in the shower is not too great, but we learned that is quite common in El Cuyo.

It’s very quiet, safe, has all the amenities necessary for a confortable stay

We had a good stay, spacious cabin with a kitchen and AC. Big, comfortable bed. Host was very quick in his response on whatsapp.

Couch could be replaced (bit dirty and not very comfortable anymore)

Beautiful cabin and surrounding areas
