We live this place. We've stayed here on three separate trips and it's great every time. More

What an amazing property! The location is stunning. Tulum has become more developed in recent years and the central area is congested and noisy. Cabanas Ixchel still affords you the quiet relaxing experience. The Cabanas are adorable - clean, comfortable and quaint. The rooms are cleaned daily. Fresh water is provided free of charge. The bed was comfortable and a... More

For the second year we had a great, relaxing vacation at Ixchel. From the moment you get there, Jorge and the rest are there to make sure you have everything you need. This is not a 5-star hotel but that's what makes it special. We stay in Gaviota which is right on the beach with windows all along the front... More

This Tulum beach spot is a mix of excellant features with a few problems that could be possibly solved some day. First the good: Cabanas Ixchel is on one of the best spots on the beach if you value beauty and privacy. It is very close to the Sian Kaan nature preserve so if you walk down the beach to... More

I stayed in three different hotels during my two week do nothing but sleep, read, and swim, vacation in Tulum. My second hotel was Ixchel and I have to say definitely my favorite. Ixchel is a small place with 5 cabanas. Ixhchel is the last hotel on the left before you go through the arch at Sian K'aan. I stayed... More
