“Special stay in Jashita”
Jashita feels like a friend's house with staff ready to fulfill every request, and the low guest count let us enjoy the main pool almost alone. The design is striking, a mix of Ubud Bali vibes and Mexican flair, and the stay kept us away from Tulum’s usual hustle. A car is essential—concierge can arrange a reasonable National drop‑off and pick‑up, while restaurants are about a 15‑minute ride and Uber doesn’t work; local taxis are pricey, especially for a family of five needing two cars each way. The hotel offers three pools—one for kids, two adult pools, and a rooftop pool that’s simply wow! Clean, cool, and welcoming, the staff efficiently clear sargassus, and when we went SUP the water was crystal clear and we even spotted a manta ray. Breakfasts were excellent; dinner was a bit less exciting and pricier, with better options in town. The little gym, tucked in the jungle, was a pleasant surprise, and the guests’ book library added a nice touch. We booked two full‑day excursions with Authentic Tours Tulum; Cesar, the owner and guide, was brilliant and fairly priced. One day covered Chichen Itza, Ik Kil Cenote, and Valladolid (don’t miss Casa de los Venados if you love art); the second day was action‑packed with Coba and Punta Laguna. The rooms felt a bit dated for the property’s age, but that didn’t ruin the experience, though some may feel the value isn’t top‑tier. This place isn’t for beach lovers—especially during sargassus season—so use it as a cultural base and explore Tulum’s food scene instead. And seriously, don’t consider a hotel with no pool; Jashita was the right choice.
