The Tao Wellness Center is situated in a beautiful jungle and the place is just magical. We visited one afternoon and decided to have a massage at the wellness center. I... More

It was a rewarding trip which included full use of the Tao facilities and wonderful excursions to cenotes, canal swims, zip-lining over a lagoon, visiting Mayan pyramids and much more. I thoroughly enjoyed the Yoga, Tai Chi and Qigong classes available at... More

I will go there again it was one of the most peaceful places I have ever visited. The people were very friendly and English was spoken. The setting in the jungle is well laid out and the condos are well appointed and very reasonabllly priced for this expensive this area. The food in the restaurants is exceptional.

Beautiful area, with a nice philosophy. Would have used it daily, except the cardio/weights area was about 5x too small. Needs a much larger "fitness centre".

Three visits during the week. The site is fabulous, the view is splendid, but the place for the treadmill, the elliptical, the bikes and bodybuilding is too small. Once there are 5 people or more, it is like a crowd, and the air circulation is not effective. I loved the place to relax with hammocks .I have used the yoga... More

I actually didn't use the spa but visited it. It was really gorgeous. Ultra modern, concrete, steel and wood, peaceful. The yoga studio was world class.

We had access to this wellness centre because we were staying in Gran Bahia Tulum (see my separate review). I went there every days to take yoga as well as the follow-up class and enjoyed it tremendously. The instructors were very knowledgeable as well as passionate about their classes and I can wholeheartedly recommend all of them. The only thing... More
