I spent one night there and could not sleep because of the distant noise from a night club until 3 or 4 am. I understand that this is nothing the hotel can do but the room are VERY small, just enough to walk around and that's it. I could also hear the person in the next room flushing the toilet... More

Petit Shambala is my favorite place yet in Tulum, and this will be the third time I have gone to Tulum to find peace and restore my juices. Roberto and his team are so lovely... the perfect balance of available and resourceful but not overbearing and ever present. The ground are clean and well loved. The art is inspiring. The... More

I just spent a week at Shambala and loved every minute. Sure, it is simple, but I found everything I needed there and the staff is very friendly. Bring a headlamp or flashlight though, since there is not enough lighting in the room.

We went for a yoga retreat in January. The location is absolutely amazing, gorgeous beach. However, this particular hotel failed on many fronts. These are the reasons: - rooms are a joke - tiny, with no closet for clothes or luggage, no proper lighting - only tea candles in the bathroom, no bed side table or lamp. Bathroom is so... More

We happened upon a yoga class given by Caroline Graham-Woods at the Shambala Petit Hotel. This has to be the most glorious studio in the world, set right on the beach, a stone's throw from the sparkling turquoise blue waters of the Caribbean. Caroline is as effervescent as the sea itself, while her spirit and light guided us through a... More

I just returned from a yoga retreat. The resort was filled with just the members of our group. The staff was so respectful and they took excellent care of us. Early morning coffee for sunrises. Fresh and remarkably wonderful food at every meal. The entire staff paid special attention to our names and our needs. Thank you to Roberto and... More

We held a Yoga and Recovery retreat for women at Shambala in late November - and I can't even begin to express the gratitude that we have for Roberto and his staff at the Shambala Petit. My retreat partner and I knew when we stepped foot on the property in February 2012 that it was the ideal spot for our... More

Stayed for 4 days in march with my mother who had originally planned the trip for a yoga retreat. This place is great even if you don't do yoga!! The breakfast every morning was incredible, fresh fruit, yogurt, toast, coffee, tea. The location was perfect, right in center of small hotel strip directly n the beach. YOU CAN'T GET CLOSER... More

The only time you can cancel your reservation are in the months of: June, July, September, October. For the rest of the year, forget it. I made a reservation in early February for a stay in May; but we decided to cancel our trip to Mexico due to security concerns. I requested the cancellation 90 days in advance. Not only... More

I recently stayed at this beautiful place for a 10 day yoga retreat. I cannot say enough about the lengths the staff went to to make us feel comfortable and at home. I was the only vegetarian on the trip and each meal, the beautiful kitchen staff made me a special and fab dish! I could not have been happier.... More
