The Yellow Nest Tulum

Some places in Mexico we’ve experienced unfriendly staff. At Yellow’s Nest staff is kind and polite. We enjoyed the beautiful pool areas every day, and I did yoga every morning with very good instructor. One day as a total luxury we had the big pool all to ourselves. Food was very good. Guacomole superb. Would have been nice with coffee options for breakfast - fx cappucino. And freshly pressed juice would also have been nice.

We did not like it when the day guests arrived.

Incredible eco lodge in the middle of the jungle! It's a wonderful experience, highly recommend! I wish we had stayed longer! The food was also the best we had of the whole holiday!

Wonderful staff. Great breakfast and overall menu was very good. I had dinner included and there were plenty of options. Walking distance to two cenotes. Super relaxing atmosphere. Perfect for those interested in a quiet place with options to head to the central distict. Daily yoga option seems mostly for exercise and not meditation.

Bikes were not in great shape and roads aren't paved, so expect to walk are schedule rides.

If you are looking to disconnect, off grid it is recommended. The complex runs on solar power during the day and generator at night. Good wifi connection. The property is nestled over a cenote and all of the pools are filled with cenote water. The Tamazcal ceremony was a unique spiritual experience led by Luis Miguel, who is a medicinal Shaman and also a certified paramedic. He always goes the extra mile to ensure your comfort and safety. The yoga classes are offered daily except Wednesday's is on site and led by a certified Hatha instructor and massage therapist Gabby. Her energy and way of being is calming, her classes are a challenge but worth the early morning wake up. The class is 1 hour and is never the same. The rest of the crew are attentive and always quick to respond. The location is central to many of the cenotes, walking distance. The included breakfast was healthy, plenty and flavourful. The grounds are peaceful and spiritually invigorating. We would definitely recommend staying a minimum of 3 nights to get the full experience.

Not all units have AC, and the ones that do they only run from 7pm. To 7am.

We selected this location specifically to attend Day Zero music festival. However, the festival changed it's policy and we had to take shuttles from Tulum town directly to the festival. The location is beautiful but remote, deep in the jungle. If you only want leave the resort to explore cenotes, than this is a great spot. Other activites are limited and the facilities were not amazing. The pools didn't feel very clean.

The service was just ok. The staff seemed to be stressed out, running around, always hearing their walkie talkies, yet the resort itself didn't seem busy. Whenever we needed something ex. pool towels, hair dryers etc., it was challenging to find someone. The front desk was often empty and there is no specific staff members for specific roles- it seems they do it all, yet don't do much at all. We had a terrible sleep our first night due to music being played very loud far past 10:30 p.m. When we asked the resort, they were hosting a couples dinner and said they couldn't turn off the music. We were then woken the next morning around 7am by a leaf blower outside our nest. The nest itself wasn't very comfortable given the amount of money spent. It wasn't equipped with a mini fridge or hair-dryer and the bathroom does not offer much privacy. The bed was hard and the bedding wasn't very lush. There is no AC just a fan. Lastly, the included "American" breakfast was lack luster and left us hungry.

private villa was amazing , very comfortable. love the pool area with very chilled music .

I want to thank concierge Miguel and one of the drivers for their professionalism. Miguel was incredibly helpful in planning city trips with a reasonable budget and the driver went above and beyond to assist my partner when we needed to visit a hospital.

Despite its high ratings, this hotel was a complete letdown. Here are the issues I encountered during my stay: Terrible Hotel Service The staff lacked training and basic hospitality standards. Daily essentials like water, hairdryers, and bathroom amenities were only provided if we specifically asked, and even then, not consistently. The staff showed no initiative to ensure guests' comfort or needs. Terrible Room Conditions We booked the most expensive room with a private pool, but it was far from luxurious. The air conditioning, which was only supposed to run for 12 hours daily due to "energy restrictions," never worked during our stay, leaving the room extremely humid and uncomfortable. The bedsheets were stained on the first night and were never replaced. Also, given the jungle setting, there were no mosquito repellents, resulting in severe bites for my companion. Terrible Restaurant Service The on-site restaurant was overpriced and poorly managed. The owner was rude, the dining area was swarming with flies, and the mojito I ordered contained rotten lime leaves. Deceptive Practices The hotel claimed to offer airport transfers but lied on our departure day, saying no transportation was available despite having a driver and car ready. They instead arranged a $140 USD taxi without informing us of the cost beforehand. This nearly caused us to miss our flight, and we had to scramble to find alternative transportation ourselves.
