Wakax Hacienda - Cenote & Boutique Hotel

房間非常寬敞，服務特別好，整體環境很幽靜，酒店也有很多活動可以參與～

Wakax is the perfect place to relax and rejuvenate while surrounded by nature. Delicious food, beautiful and peaceful surroundings, coupled an excellent tour guide (Gonzalo) will make it an experience you will never forget! We spent five days at the hacienda and took full advantage of every tour of the property that Gonzalo offered. The cave tour of one of the largest cenotes on the property is not to be missed! We will definitely be back for another visit!

What a wonderful and magical place! The rooms are situated in the middle of the jungle, you can't get any more authentic than this. It's a paradise in itself where you can totally resource yourself as it is so quiet,and because of the size of the hacienda you hardly see other guests. A place of total tranquility. I would like to especially mention the massage with Adriana. A fantastic and unique experience that is unforgettable. She also delivers yoga lessons which was fantastic with a view on the lake. Unfortunately, we could not experience the Temazcal also run by Adriana as we planned it too late. The staff is attentive, polite and always smiling, always ready to help whenever they can. Nothing is never too much! I can honestly say this is the best hotel I have ever stayed in and would recommend it 100%! If you want an authentic Mexican holidays away from all the hectic touristic places, then Wakax Hacienda is the place to go!!

We (my wife, 4y old daughter and I) booked 3 nights at the Wakax. The hacienda is in close proximity to Tulum and yet lightyears away from the somehow aggressive rip off in Tulum's zona hotelera. The entire expansive grounds of the Wakax are - I can't describe it any other way - magical. From the moment you check in, you are surrounded by peace, relaxation and beautiful nature. The restaurant is located on a picturesque lagoon (including a small waterfall) where you can swim, stand up paddle or kayak. The other side of the property features your own "private" cenote, and even an area with free-range peacocks and pigs. Every day there are guided tours to the cenote or even underwater caves (highly recomended, we did it with our daughter - thrilling!!). All this it is included in the room rate. The restaurant is good, the mescalitas were the best of our entire Yucatan trip. The whole team helped us with minor health problems of our daughter in an incomparable caring way. To make a long story short, the hotel is visually as spectacularly “instagrammable” as some hot spots in tulum itself, but combined with a generous, almost family vibe that you will never find in the zona hotelera. Long may it stay that way!

I've stayed at many hotels, but the experience at Wakax Hacienda was unique. The location is convenient. The hotel is just off the highway south of Tulum city. It is not on the beach, but the beach is less than ten minutes away. You are close to the Tulum ruins and the highway is convenient to go to any other sites. It is an easy approximately 60 minute drive from the airport. You enter the unassuming gate where they check your reservation and wave you through to the parking lot. You will be offered water and a cool towel prior to an easy check in process. We stayed in a comfy three room suite next to the office, but more private cottages are available too. Why is this hotel special? While Tulum has earned a reputation as a party town, the Wakax is a true oasis of serenity. I have rarely been anywhere so quiet, usually just the sounds of the occasional bird. While there are fifty rooms, the grounds are so expansive you will often feel that you are the only ones on the property. There are so many things to see and explore. Three pools, jungle paths, multiple cenotes. The pictures do not do justice to the place. For example, the pictures make the lagoons seem like algae-filled green. In reality, they are green but the water is clear and a pleasure to go paddle-boarding in. The attention to detail throughout the property is amazing, the designers had exquisite taste. We had previously been to a cenote on a tour and had the attitude "seen one cenote seen them all". That was before we met Gonzalo. He took the time to share the history of the property and he offered an extensive tour inside one of the property's cenotes. Long story short, it was one of the highlights of our vacation. Clearly, it's not a party hotel. You won't see many other guests except at the restaurant (which is excellent btw). The hotel is in a jungle and the management hasn't taken the fun out of exploring, so families with small children will want to be careful. The bottom line, if you stay here you will feel like you are on the inside of an episode of "Lifestyles of the rich and famous". We felt so special to have been a part of it for two days.

I'm pretty well travelled, but Wakax Hacienda has a special place in my heart. The incredible jungle setting, with the private hacienda, and the well appointed rooms stand out, along with the fantastic hospitality from the team. I especially enjoyed a tour of the caves with Gonzo who both entertained and educated me about life in the hacienda and Mexico in general. I've now been to the hacienda twice and am looking forward to another visit again next year.
