My wife and I spent four nights at the Playa Kin Ha from Feb 25-28, 2006. There are only four units in this small ocean front complex, but we fortunately got the one suite right on the beach. It comes with a balcony. What a fantastic location overlooking the beach and only about 100 feet from the crashing waves. Only to have been honeymooners again, it was a honeymooners paradise.

The suite was simple but clean. We paid $110 USD per night even though we were quoted $120 USD via emails. With the bar and restaurant below our unit, everything was conveniently close. The food was very good, although a little overpriced compared to other establishments in the area.

Anyone staying in Tulum should understand that luxuries of modern conveniences are not always reliable. For example, even though we had 24-hour electricity, it would occasionally go out. Also, the hot water was hit and miss. Nevertheless, this is a tropical paradise and the periodic absence of these conveniences did not detract from the overwhelming charm and beauty of the place. Our four-day stay was probably the most relaxing, enjoyable vacation spots we have ever stayed in. I would not hesitate to return there again.

My husband and I went here for New Year's and had a wonderful time. The ocean-front suite is actually the room above the restaurant with a king-sized bed and a balcony with a hammock facing the ocean. At first site I thought it would be noisy, but it was perfect. We just heard the wind and the crash of the ocean. Every morning we would wake up with the sun and walk on the beach. By the time we got back, the staff was getting breakfast ready. Lunch and dinner were great. (A couple times we ate next door at a place run by young Italians. Great food, but a little pricey.) On New Year's local families even showed up to get a taste of the great food offerings at Playa Kin-ha. It made for a great night. Would definitely recommend staying here. Some advice: stake out your beach chair early, as the beach can get crowded...not Coney Island crowded...just more people than beach chairs.

Me and my wife just stayed at Playa Kin Ha, in the beautiful beaches of Tulum, in the mexican caribbean. This small hotel (with only 4 rooms) has a special charm; from the personel that takes care of any necesity and advice that you need, to the delicious food in their italian/mexican restaurant. Absolutely the best pastas we've ever tried, plus, as far as we know, the only grill in the area, with delicious fish and seafood, served right in front of the beach. We could also enjoy the most perfect cocktails in their every day happy hour, listening to some exquisit lounge and downtempo music, and the beauty of an early coffee by the sea.
We had the holiday of our lives, and are already planning to return ASAP!
