A very good vacation rental just a short walk from the beach
Full kitchen became amazing for an extended stay, we enjoyed all the pools on the property and are closely situated by many Turtle beach attractions. The air conditioning and extra space was nice. The santomar hosts were attentive and it was all around a safe and secure place to enjoy the beautiful beaches and jungles of Tulum!

Great beachside condo
This condo has been upgraded and it was immaculate! The beds and couches were comfy and even the pillows. A/C and fans worked great, kitchen was well stocked. We rented a car so our location was perfect for us. It's just a very short walk to a beachside pool and access to the beach. We would definitely stay here again!
