This was a return trip for us....and I must say, our first one was better. This time we stayed when the owner was away (while he was at his home in Santa Barbara, CA) and I could definitely tell the difference, i.e. the staff seemed indifferent (maybe because of his absence? Hmmmm). The area had changed too, and may have been a reflection of the 2005 hurricane: the crowds were younger and it seemed as though they were looking for a Cancun-type environment, which of course, they would not get in Tulum. My husband believes he read somewhere that "children" were not allowed at the resort now, but there were children present--some were loud, waking him from his sleep, running around the property and hopping over the furniture at breakfast. If I wanted Disneyland, I would have gone to LA. The manager on duty seemed to be on the "payroll" of some local new businesses, promoting them to the point of being sure to take a "card" with his name on it when we went. The beach: there seemed to be a great number of other local resort occupants (and transients) using the La Conchita beach and the loungers--they would just make themselves at home with the chairs and the pads that were provided for resort guests. Only on our last day did the manager on duty do anything about it, but by then it was already too late for us. Finally, the manager on duty would not allow us to stay 3 hours past check-out. He made sure we got out of our cabana (the best one, No. 1) and upsold it to another couple that had just checked in the night before. The chairs on our patio were barely cold and they were already sitting there enjoying "our" room and view. We will definitely return to Tulum, maybe to purchase our own property, but will not be staying at La Conchita again....unfortunately.

Cabanas la Conchita was everything we expected based on their website and TripAdvisor reviews. The setting, beach and sea are gorgeous! The cabanas are airy, attractively decorated and very clean. Breakfast was excellent. Service was excellent and friendly.

Although the cabanas do not have electricity (we liked this!), there is a very reasonably priced internet cafe in Tulum if you simply have to keep in touch.

We hope to stay here again -

We took over the entire 8 cabanas for our stay of one full week! Two of the couples in our group have stayed here before, so we knew about the property more than the first time visitor.

First, the facility & property is beautiful! All of the rooms are wonderful, and the grounds in super condition. Let's get to the room thing first; the "no electricity" thing is not a big deal. Lights were on from 6-10pm and candles worked well throughout the night. Ladies might miss the hairdryers, but c'mon, you're on vacation... in Mexico! We never did have any bug problems during our week...

Every morning the staff provided a wonderful breakfast of fresh orange juice and coffee, plus your choice of french toast, pancakes, eggs, bacon, and a wide selection of fresh local fruit. Daniel & Baldo, the waiters, were helpful, and very, very, friendly! The other staff members, Maricio, Jose, and others, complimented owner Jorge's great staff.

The beach was beautiful! Semi-private, shared with neighboring cabanas there were plenty of loungers & chairs for everyone in our group. While the waves were a tad rough due to windy conditions we found the surf ok for average adult swimmers.

Neighboring restaruants provided great meals for lunch and dinner. Lots of Italian & Seafood in the Tulum area! Lots of Italian tourists too. Average meal was $30-40usd with drinks & appitizer per couple. Trade USD in for Pesos to get more bang for buck at local bank.

Jorge has a great property here, but future development will ruin a good thing! Enjoy this jewel now! But let's keep it our lil secret! - Mal

What a beautiful private stretch of beach! The cabanas were wonderful and clean. The windows were screened so we would have the windows open to hear the surf at night and feel the ocean breezes, it was never too hot because they had a room fan well. The complimentary breakfast everyday was made to order and just wonderful! They also provide you with an ice chest to have on the beach and they filled it with ice for us each morning. The little mini super was across the street and 1 block down if you wanted to puchase sodas, beer etc...

Staying at La Conchita was wonderful! We stayed in Cabana #6 for the first 6 nights and moved to Cabana #8 for the last night. Both were beautifully decorated and very clean. The location of La Conchita is amazing! The beach and water are very beautiful. The best part was that the beach was not very busy and it was always easy to find a lounge chair to relax and enjoy the sun. I had the best breakfasts I have ever had while staying at La Conchita. The french toast is unbelievable! The staff is very friendly - they are happy to answer any qustions you have, otherwise they do not bother you. Overall, La Conchita is a wonderful alternative to those who are not interested in being at a crowded, all-inclusive resort. After travelling to Playa del Carmen one day we quickly realized why we had chosen to stay at La Conchita!
