Stuff You Should Know

With just 11 rooms, you're more likely to bump into your own reflection than other guests - they're all quietly contemplating life in their private plunge pools anyway. The 12+ age policy isn't so much restriction as recognition that teenagers would rather die of boredom than appreciate understated elegance. The main pool plays supporting actor to your personal plunge pool's star performance. No TV or mini-fridge.

Food and drink

Food + Drink On-site surprises

Ocean views with a side of splendid isolation

The solo restaurant masters the art of intimate dining, where "ocean view" means exactly that, not "watching other people watch the ocean." Their gazpacho deserves its own pro tip, while Nu across the street offers an upscale alternative when you're feeling social. The 10-minute beach walk to Tulum's dining scene provides just enough exercise to justify another meal, though the smart money's on beach-hopping rather than dust-collecting along the road. Consider it a choose-your-own-adventure where all paths lead to satisfaction.
