This was our second trip to Tulum. We used USA Transfer again to go from the Cancun airport to the Tulum (they were flawless and relatively inexpensive). In about an hour and half they took us to Cabañas Ixchel where we “planned” to stay for the next five nights. The cabañas are located between Rosa del Viento hotel and Rancho... More

Very quiet and beautiful. Clean simple rooms and very friendly staff. We loved it that it was further away from the whole tourist scene and yet just a few minutes drive to eat. The restaurant next door " Rosa del Viento " has great food and I'm vegan. Love the water and the white sand, so unique. Would love to... More

A perfect place to crash if you want peace and quiet, a perfect beach, and a good bargain for the area. The restaurant (Rosa del Viento) next door serves all your needs from breakfast though the evening. Waking up to the sounds of the ocean and the birds is a great soundtrack. Even though it is at the end of... More

We are loving our stay at here. Cabanas are roomy. Very clean and very pretty. We can hear the ocean all night long so pretty. All the cabanas are just steps from the sea. There is a nice little restaurant next door with pretty good food. I would definitely stay here again!

This is beach front accommodation, in a small enclosure, way down south on the beach front away from all the hustle and bustle. The cabanas are solid and are a 20 second walk from the most incredible beach and crystal clear water. Jorge, the owner, does not speak English but relates well, he is friendly and accommodating. The cabanas are... More

My boyfriend and I started our 10-day Mexico trip with 3 nights in Tulum. We found Ixchel through luck and perseverance--every other place we looked at just wasn't right. Then at the end of the beach we found Ixchel: a quiet oasis on an unbelievable perfect stretch of beach. The room (Colibri) was spacious and comfortable, and Jorge was kind,... More
