We stayed in the end of April 2019, 80 degrees, tropical breeze made it perfect - not muggy or buggy. House was better than pictured. Bedrooms were spacious. Everything you needed was there to cook in or relax. Wifi was great! 2 pools w/ water falls were beautiful. Air conditioning was quiet.The best part was Saul taking us on tour of 69 acre jungle on the property to the meditation huts. Saul could not have been a better host! He even drove us to town 2 times so we could indulge in adult beverages, took taxis back. Quick 1 1/2 hour drive from Cancun airport, 15 minutes to Tulum city Center, 20 minutes to beach hotels/restaurants. Car rental is a must, driving in Mexico was very easy. Location was very easy to find. We loved waking up to the family of turkeys, peacocks, chickens and the cat. The animal noises did not wake us up or keep us from sleeping, beds were soooo comfortable. A woman washed down all the walk ways every morning so everything was perfectly clean from any animal droppings. Saul built a bon-fire every night in a huge fire pit. One night Saul & his son played the violin and guitar, it was so tranquil and beautiful. If you wanted totally privacy you could get it, if you wanted to ask Saul a thousand questions you could. Saul gave us a referral to an Italian restaurant ( Mango's) 5 min from house - it was the best Italian I have ever had & you dined in the jungle with sand at your feet and palm trees swaying over you with candles & twinkling lights. Chedraui supermarket had cheap prices and anything you needed(like a walmart with alcohol).We highly recommend seeing Coba(Biggest ruins & you can walk up), Tulum beach - bring your own cooler and snorkel,Grand Cenote - swim with turtles & fish,the monkey sanctuary where we held monkeys & parrots, you Must drive and eat fried fish & lobster at Chamico's - tables & hammocks in the sand you could spend the whole day relaxing there, Pancho Villa's near Tulum ruins on the beach, Diablito(outstanding Mexican & Asian) & Ziggys (eat on beach front) on the Tulum hotel beach zone, Don Caleto in Tulum city - get mexican platter, cheap. We also got a day pass to the all inclusive Dreams hotel for $85 which got us all you can eat & drink from 8am-11pm, no reservations needed for any restaurant. Recommend exchanging money in Tulum city, there are a few exchange stores we drove down main street and found a few with varying rates - look for the best rate - worth it! Overall perfect place!

We spent 6 nights here with our two young adult children. We had a great week and enjoyed the access to Tulum, Sian Ka’an and the beach as well to Coba and the cenotes. The hands down highlight of our stay was the opportunity to spend time with Saul and the Mayan school children. We were grateful to help twice during the week with English and art, as well as with the bottles for the walls of the school they are building from recycled materials. We had one meal prepared for our family, which was very good and provided copious quantities that even filled up our 6’3” 18 yr old son with leftovers to spare! Although, it was not prepared by Christina (the chef mentioned) it was still delicious and a very good value. We made all breakfasts and lunches ourselves in the kitchen that was stocked with the necessities, including a nice cooler and thermos water jug for packing food for excursions. There was also bottled water for consumption. As far as accommodations go, if you stay here, you are likely to be someone who is game for a unique experience which combines jungle, farm and urban living. The photos online accurately represent the cool house, but the grounds are much more “rustic” than pictured, with a resident family of turkeys, chickens, a rooster, peacock (male and female), and bunnies. Being in this setting, we saw a variety of birds and bugs. The house truly is located right next to the road to Coba 16 km from Tulum. Between the road noise and the rooster, we found the best way to sleep was with all windows closed and the bedroom A/C units on. There are two beds and a fold down futon. I think 6 would be a bit tight unless they were smaller kids. There is an upstairs apartment on the 2nd level of this house. It was not apparent to me when we rented this unit that we would be sharing this property, but it really was not an issue at all. The yoga studio, which we had access to, is on the 3rd level though, in a loft above the apartment. Access to the yoga studio involved walking through the living room (screened in area) of the upstairs apartment. Again, while we were there this did not present any issues at all. The WiFi was sufficient for our needs. Our family enjoyed our stay here. It is a unique property, Saul could not have been kinder, and I think we will remember this experience fondly for something different from the typical luxurious all inclusive Mexican resort vacation that many places offer.

My boys and I loved our stay at the Magical Jungle Home of Dror. Christina and Saul, the caretakers are sweet and caring. Christina cooked for us while there and we enjoyed delicious meals and my not having to cook made the vacation more relaxing for me! We felt very at home and taken care of. My two teenager boys and I highly recommend this home. It is close to Tulum and Coba so we got out everyday to explore. You should stay here!

We stayed for 10 days in this house. The caretakers Saul and Christina helped to make our stay very comfortable. We opted to have Christina cook the dinner meals (check her menu) which made for a relaxing holiday. I would definitely return!!

We arrived in heavy thunder storm in the evening and were greeted by the warmest welcome from Saul and Gisela. They prepared orange lemon water and the spacious clean place that made us feel at home immediately. The home is well maintained inside and outside. Saul and Christina are so nice and sweet. There are 6 chickens, 3 peacocks, and a cat. My 13-year old son would wake up to look for eggs first thing in the morning. There are all the cooking essentials for us to make a quick breakfast before heading out for fun. The location is great to the beach or the ruins with a rental car. We enjoyed the peace and quiet after a day of adventure. What is truly special is the loving kindness energy all around this home. Christina set up a fire at the fire pit at night and talked about the healing power of the fire. Saul let our 13-year old son enjoy the freshly laid eggs and shared story on Kambo cleanse. They really make this place so magical! We wish them a blissful life in Tulum! We are very grateful for this beautiful home full of love! Thank you for sharing with us for a week. It has created great memories. William (13 years old), Lihong and Lei

We had a wonderful stay at this location. The house is right on the highway on the way to Tulum, about a 20 minute drive from town. Some ambient highway noise that dies down at night. The house is very comfortable, with a great kitchen and good beds. Most importantly, though, the hospitality offered by caretaker Saul turned a great trip into something truly memorable. Thank you to Saul and Dror for a wonderful weekend!

While the villa is lovely, modern, clean and well appointed and in a wonderful setting, it is immediately next to the very busy highway from Tulum to Coba so, if road noise is going to be a problem for you, this may not be the place to choose. Highlights were the fully screened open air second floor and the charming and wonderful couple who caretake the property - Saul and Cristina - and the dinner we ordered from the in house menu which Cristina cooked and they both served was exceptional. The beds were also very comfortable and we loved the handmade furniture! We had a car so it was no problem for us to head to the beach which is about 20 minutes away and quite amazing - if you don't have your own transportation, I expect you could use the public transportation system or cabs - they are everywhere! Internet was fine and using WhatsApp to communicate with Saul and Cristina worked very well and is a very popular application in the area - even the tour company we used preferred it for contacting us. All in all, a positive experience.

Spacious, warm and spiritual. Saul and Christina are wonderful hosts. Very easy access to Coba and the Cenote’s 15 min to the beautiful beach of Tulum and the ruin.
