Pepem Holistic Experience - Peaceful Retreat Near Tulum

The huts are very nice and very a pleasant place to be. The property is very beautiful and peaceful. It’s very fun being walking distance to a bunch of cenote’s. The staff were wonderful especially Adan the chef and his team. His food was amazing. He made it hard to go out and explore for food because it was so great here. A tip, don’t ask for anything specific, just let him make what he’s feeling. For every meal. That being said the Tulum area is sort of an extension of Cancun. Just kind of one resort after another. Not a lot of real Mexican culture. It’s definitely pretty but very busy and touristy. Pepem and its surrounding area ended up being our only area we really enjoyed. The myan ruins were interesting.

My wife and I stayed at Pepem for our baby moon and it was a really nice relaxing experience! We really appreciated the layout, decor, and accents of the whole place. You really achieve that relaxing feel away from all of the crowds and busy tourism. The staff was also top notch! They always went out of their way to make sure your time there spent was at it's best in every possible way. We really enjoyed the fact the place is never over crowded as there is only a certain amount of rooms there. Being close to a lot of the cenotes is a very convenient as well! It was nice being able to drive out to the main strips and beaches, but then come back to our relaxing resort. We do recommend renting a car or suv as they are pretty long dirt roads. It will end up adding up to the same amount if not a lot more if you get a taxi every time you want to go out. Also, keep in mind it is in a jungle so if you're not a fan of camping or the outdoors then this might not be the place for you. The only real complaint we had is that their food menu is very limited and they seemed to run out everyday of most options on the menu. So we were stuck eating what they did have that day which isn't much. So my wife and I tried to eat out or grab food before coming back most of the time. Other than that, our experience here was very enjoyable. Again, kudos to the awesome staff!!
