Quite possibly the most beautiful and relaxing stay I’ve ever experienced. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a stay that is reflective of the natural beauty and environment of Tulum and not the all-inclusive resort side. Also the opportunity to see baby sea turtles climb the shore past my room at night is a memory I’ll have forever.

This is one of the most relaxing, beautiful, peaceful trips I’ve ever been on. This property is so gorgeous - the smells, the sounds, the food - everything was so amazing. I cannot wait to come back!! Everyone there was so helpful and kind, they are able to get a taxi quickly for you and more. Tulum changed me, and I have Una Vida to thank for that. Tip: do the sound therapy session!!! It just completed my stay and really did some good for my soul. I can’t say enough wonderful things about this...

e room looked exactly like it does in the website images. There was plenty of space for 3 adults. Despite having other buildings all around, it felt like we had our own private jungle getaway. We loved it and would definitely stay here again.

This property was not only beautiful but extremely convenient for a location. Close enough to the beach and the city, a perfect medium. Bike to the ruins or into the city. Taxi to the beach and they are all easily accessible. The gym and rooftop are beautiful and peaceful. The private pool I had was so nice I can’t wait to come back. They even provide bikes for you to use it’s perfect.

The resort is perfect for a romantic, quiet getaway, which is exactly what I was looking for. Our penthouse suite was simply stunning..three floors of lux living & very private. The food at Balaxe was delicious. The staff throughout the resort was friendly & very helpful. The gorgeous resort was the perfect setting to celebrate our wedding anniversary.

We stayed in the Exclusive Apartment as a group of four and absolutely loved it. This place felt truly special, from the moment we arrived until we left. The design is even more breathtaking in real life than in the photos. Every corner feels carefully curated, with a warm, elegant atmosphere that made it hard to leave the apartment at all ;)

We stayed in a beautiful ocean-front bungalow that had a private rooftop hot tub and hammock. Perfect location to enjoy Tulum's beautiful beaches. The hotel is also directly across the street from Parole, a gorgeous Italian restaurant with excellent cocktails and food. Definitely recommend if you're there. Special thanks to Antonio who checked us in and also leads the salsa classes in the afternoon. Very friendly and helpful throughout our stay.

We stayed in a beautiful, spacious unit with a large king-sized bed and living room that is impeccably designed. We had a porch that overlooked the pool. The owners were friendly, welcoming and quick to respond to our questions. The road in is bumpy and full of potholes but they’re no big deal. A great spot!

Property is very nice and opened late January, the staff was very kind and helpful. Only downfall is it’s in the middle of nowhere and there’s nothing around but construction being done.
