1 week at Playa Selva. Fantastic! I travel the world and there is no better place! The owners are a super nice cool couple with a great son Tiago. Playa Selva is beyond your expectations.

Just returned from 5 days in Tulum at Playa Selva. Everything was amazing! The host was extremely helpful and curteous. The beach, the view, and the location were perfect for experiencing tulum and nearby ruins. Absolute paradise! more

We just got back, swine flu be damned. Spent 8 days there with our three-year-old son. This place is the best. We rented the big house with kitchen, so we made breakfast and ate it out facing the beach. We did some activities--but were just as happy spending the day on the hammocks or on the beach chairs. This place... more

We recently stayed in Playa Selva for 4 weeks with our 15 month old twins. I'm a little bit in doubt to write this, because we are worried about the availability of Playa Selva next year ;-) We stayed in the 2-story house which is right on the beach (like the other bungalow and cabana). We had an amazing time.... more

This place had everything that we were looking for. We rented the smallest cabaña for one night (wish we could have stayed longer) and it was perfect for us. The accomodation is simple but charming. Also, Mauricio and Manuela (the owners of the place) were very helpful and sweet. To sum up, it was the highlight of our two week... more

I recently told a friend of mine that I only had a week to take for vacation this year and that I wanted to do nothing but sit on a beautiful beach. She said "you want to go to Tulum and you want to stay at Playa Selva". So was so right, our gracious hosts Mauricio and Manuela make everything... more

As I walk the gorgeous stretch of Tulum's beaches, spotted with the various cabana establishments, it seems there might be one style to match the person you are. For me, Playa Selva spoke volumes to me. It is straight-forward, humble, and utterly perfect. There is no "schtick" here, just honest aesthetic, grand in its un-pretentiousness. It is slightly tucked back... more

We found this place last minute on the internet and luckily the simple cabana was available. We arrived in the evening with a path of luminarias lighting our way. There are only two cabanas and one house for rent here providing simple, down to earth accomodations. The cabanas are clean and comfortable with a shared outdoor kitchen which is also... more

The best!
