We stayed here for four nights. The gardens are lovely, the kitchen clean and well stocked, the communal showers clean. Compared to other areas of Mexico we found this expensive and the cabana really small with just enough space for the double bed. The bed was four thin foam mattresses stacked on top of each other and not very comfy!... more

We stopped here as we needed a place to crash for one night. The place was pretty interesting. The owner, who speaks Maya, Spanish and Boston English, was very nice. The cabanas are in a beautiful garden setting. The place has a communal kitchen and grilling area, as well as internet, books and games available. We stayed in a regular... more

I stayed at Rancho Tranquilo for 2 full weeks, and I wish I could have stayed longer. When I get back to Tulum, it will be my first stop. The owner and employees were friendly and generous, and I was very comfortable in my palapa hut. No mosquitos at all. There was sometimes noise from the highway and the bar... more

I don't understand how other people have had a good experience here. We were three people staying in a cabana. The sheets and blankets smelled awful. At night someone next door to the hostel was playing really loud music all evening, and a rooster woke us up each dawn. We booked a tour of Hidden Worlds Cenotes through the hostel... more

Our family of five liked Rancho Tranquilo very much as it had its own peaceful yard and nice space for kids to play. Personnel was also friendly. We stayed one night in a separate cottage (not cabana) and had to change to room for following nights. If you can get this only separate cottage, take it. It has own patio... more

I have stayed at Rancho Tranquilo for 2 visits in the past year (lucky me!). In April I was staying with someone living locally in very primitive accomodation and after a few days I asked to stay a night somewhere with a bed and running water. My cabana was very basic but a real step up. Really enjoyed visiting with... more

We arrived here just before closing time at 11, after a recommendation from the Weary Traveler, which was full. We are so glad we stayed here. We stayed in Cabana 9, which was $28/night. We didn't have any problems with noise, maybe because our cabana was right next to the main building, not next to the highway, and because we... more

I stayed at Rancho for five nights and had a really fun time. The staff was helpful and sent me to some great places to explore. I also met other travelers who gave me tip on where to stay in Merida which was my next stop. Orginally I was onlt going to stay in Tulum for two nights, but found... more
