Immaculate Oceanfront Villa /10 min. from Tulum/Gated Street

This was one of the greatest trips we’ve had in years. Arsenio and Ruby made the trip for us…having our meals cooked to perfection, and every need met and the house kept clean, was unbelievably satisfying and enabled us to fully relax. The house was impeccable. Everything worked as it should, no bugs, no weird stuff like in the past we’ve had at other VRBOs. It was just perfect. There’s nothing I would change about this trip. I would say when traveling to Tulum have your pesos worked out ahead of time… it was difficult to do the exchanges at the bank ATMs. I actually got ripped off once for 400 bucks, my bank’s trying to get the money back…other than that a perfect trip. Also, please remember to tip the hosting couple… 20% of your VRBO cost is usually standard and they were well worth it. They also do prefer pesos, so once again work out your pesos before you travel. One last comment, my daughter left her teddy bear that she’s had since she was a little girl and Arsenio is Fedex-ing it back to us which I thought was way above and beyond! Outstanding service, outstanding house! We would change nothing!

Beautiful house. Ruby and Armenio are absolutely AMAZING!!!! So sweet and everything they cooked was so good! House is pretty remote so I recommend having them cook for you and their food is better than any restaurant we tried. They only had 5 beach chairs for 10 of us so we asked them about it and the next day they brought us 4 more chairs!

The house is beautiful. Arsenio and Rubi are wonderful and their cooking is unbeatable. My entire part wished that we had had them make all of our meals. John was a responsive host. We had a wonderful time. Thank you!

We loved Villa Escapar. The caretakers Rubi and Arsenio are very sweet and they are there for anything you need. The house is very beautiful and has everything you need for a relaxing vacation. I traveled with my husband, our nanny and our four kids and everyone loved the Villa. We plan to return at the end of the year. I highly recommend Villa Escapar.

We had a wonderful week at Villa Escapar. The house is excellent with great views, wonderful rooms, comfortable beds, and air conditioning throughout. The caretakers/chef's are even better. Ruby and Arsenio were the best hosts. They cooked delicious food all week and treated our group like family. It was so nice to be able to be able to stay away from the crowds and still eat gourmet meals. Ruby and Arsenio also arranged outdoor massages at the house overlooking beautiful Caribbean. They had the villa stocked with delicious food when we arrived and they went out several times to get special request items. John, the owner of the villa was a great communicator. He answered every question within minutes. You will absolutely love this house and the hosts!

Great house, wonderful staff and private chef, beautiful views. Only negative feedback is the pothole ridden road that leads to the house - but it’s Mexico so to be expected.

The house is beautiful but honestly what you can't beat was Arsenio and Ruby the care takers, they are amazing! From the food ,the cocktails and overall hospitality they are top notch. We could not have had a better stay. I did not want to leave. They made this vacation over the top. Thank you Ruby and Arsenio for everything, we will be back!

The advertised location of this property was KEY to us deciding to book this house!! This property is nowhere near 10 minutes from ANY part of town in Tulum. It is located at least 30 to 40 minutes from Tulum. The location caused us to change plans in our entire trip as we were unable to travel to parts of town due to how far away it was. This also added significant cost in transportation due to location. Very disappointing. Other feedback - the 5th room is above a detached building on property, this was not made clear so we had to have some sleep on the couch to not separate group. House did not have any extra blankets or towels initially and AC did not work in one room until day 2. The house is nice. Host/chef were FABULOUS.

The host made the trip we loved them from the moment we got there, we look forward to coming again.

Home was beautiful. Road from highway exit to house very rough, full of potholes. Caretakers were great, live on property in adjacent structure. Beach had a lot of sea weed. But enjoyed pool and amazing views
