This was truly a Caribbean paradise. The cabana we stayed in (#7) was lovely and very comfortable. The white sandy beach is literally a stone's throw from the cabanas. The bed was very comfortable, as was the hammock on our front "porch." Bottled water and beach towels are provided. The breakfast is excellent and quite ample. The "no lights" policy, except from 6-10 PM, was no problem. In fact, it added to the peace and quiet of the setting. There are plenty of good restaurants within easy walking distance and the ruins of Tulum are only a few kilometers away. Renting a car to come here is a good plan, as there are many interesting places to visit in the area. Bring a flashlight, be sure to spend some time star gazing and come to relax in paradise. This is not your place if you want a nightclub scene and can't live without your hair dryer. We usually like to try new places when we travel, but we definitely plan to revisit Cabanas la Conchita.

We stayed here for a few quiet days in January. You have to know what you are booking before you go-- the hotel is right on the beach, but it is not a luxury hotel. The cabins are rustic, no AC, and there is no power at night and during the day. But that is the charm. There are hammocks outside of every room, the staff is very accomodating, and the beach is beautiful. Conchita might have been the most peaceful place I've been to in a long time. Breakfast is included and is delicious. If they offered dinner and drinks, I'd never have left!

“beautiful view, fantastic honeymoon destination”

Cabanas la Conchita

3/3 found this review helpful

We loved this place. We stayed here for 5 nights as part of our honeymoon and it was great. We stayed in room 6 which was an upstairs cabana facing the sea. The room was lovely and spotlessly clean. The breakfast was lovely and the staff really friendly. We had a few animal visitors in the room.. cricket, crab and lizard but that was part of the fun.

We poked our nose in lots of other resorts along the beach and decided (a) we had the nicest beach (shared with two establishments either side but never felt crowded and it was clean) and (b) our cabana's looked the nicest!!

Finally i loved the fact that we had nets over the beds because we were upstairs and there was a gap where the thatch was, it makes you feel really protected from the mozzies.

“Magical Holiday”

Cabanas la Conchita

4/4 found this review helpful

We had an amazing 9 day holiday at La Conchita. La Conchita is perfect: clean, in good taste, great breakfast, quiet and professional. We travel around the world and this is a place we will return to. As a bonus, three turtle nests hatched 10 feet from our cabana and we escorted the hatchlings to the beach! PS: Try the restaurant Cetli in Tulum: spectacular gourmet Mexican food.

I expected to be blown away by this hotel given the reviews here, but honestly I spent more time down the road at Cabanas Copal utilizing their beach, yoga, restaurant, spa, and sundry services. First, let me say that the beach is private and lovely, as are the rooms and the breakfast nook. It is very peaceful and quiet. The staff are very nice friendly people, but they do not provide quality service. Example; when my friend told the maid our floors had sand she was handed a broom. When we requested a second glass of orange juice we were told there wasn't anymore left, when there was a huge bag of oranges in the kitchen. We had to make a stink to get an extra glass of juice. The breakfast is good...not great, but there is no available tea or coffee or simply hot water accessable during the day/evening for guests other than at breakfast. This seems odd to me that I would have to leave the grounds in the evening to get a cup of tea or a soft drink. When we had difficulties with confirming our car back to the airport the hotel staff initially put us on the phone to fend for ourselves. I had to request assitance with advocacy...esp. since I speak Spanglish at best. This is generally the pervasive theme.....requesting a taxi be booked hours in advance only tp have a staff member flag a cab down at the time we were supposed to be leaving for an excursion. Being told at 10 am that our pickup for the cenotes was coming at 10:30 when we were originally told 11. Honestly, for the price...which is higher than some of the other places on the strip, I expected a bit more professionalism. At Cabanas Copal I always felt my needs and requests were adequately attended to. In fact at Conchita when i requested a 3 hour snorkeling trip in the area they knew of none. I had to go to Copal to book a trip to the barrier reef. Overall I'd have to say I was underwhelmed and will stay elsewhere should I return to Tulum.

Management Response
ownerMexico, owners
(Management representative)
30 Dec 2007
We would like to respond to the tourist who reported bad service at La Conchita simply because this is such a rare event and needs to be addressed. The date of these remarks is to be noted. First of all, it was just after the hurricane and all of our staff was exhausted from having rebuilt a major part of the restaurant, cleared tons of debris
and witnessed 40 turtle nests be destroyed in one day.
We were all simply tired but glad to be up and running while many less fortunate businesses had to close down for at least two months.
1. the broom incident- most tourists expect a bit of sand to blow into the rooms as we are directly built on the beach.
They usually like to sweep their own rooms throughout their stay as sand is ubiquitous.
2. the orange juice- the workers knew that the oranges were not sweet and did not speak English well enough to explain that it wasn't worth hand squeezing sour oranges.
3.Coffee or tea- all one needs to do is ask one of the staff
for hot water to be made for tea or coffee and they would
gladly oblige.
4. 10:30 instead of 11:00- surely, you jest! This is Mexico not Switzerland, please use a little cultural
sensitivity.
5. Snorkel trip- Our snorkeling trips are usually handled
by Felix our next door neighbor, sorry but he just happened to have his cabanas washed away by the
hurricane! They were lucky to be alive!

Best Regards, Cynthia James
