“very dissapointing”

It looked really clean and fancy

Location in the jungle, deco and minimalistic style.

The location is beautiful, and there are very cute dogs and we were welcomed by the local spider monkey which was an awesome experience.

Looks amazing

“Lack of responsibility”

The nature, jungle and the two cute dogs made it all better

“Very nice place, very big and comfortable room”

I stayed on the 1st floor. Big room with very big and comfortable double bed. Only sounds at night are from the jungle. Well equiped common kitchen (you need to bring your own food/drinks, or just eat in Akumal 15-20 min. away by car). I bought food from a store at Akumal Beach and fresh fruit from a fruit stall in Akumal town, where I had a nice late lunch at a local restaurant. I only stayed 1 night, and I saw monkeys and different birds. Don't forget to lock your doors, the monkeys will try to get in (but they are not aggressive at all:).

We loved all the plants and wildlife at Santaurio Jungle. Onsite there are several private cenotes, although at present I'd say these are more for viewing rather than swimming in (it probably is possible to swim we just weren't brave enough). We had an encounter with spider monkeys on our first morning which really made our decision to stay here worthwhile. The rooms are massive with a lovely bathroom.

“Nice apartment in the jungle”

I only used the place as a stopover - arrived in the evening and left first thing in the morning. Bed was comfy, WiFi was good, owner was friendly and helpful. Relatively easy to find but you need a car to get there. Very cheap compared to other places in Akumal.

“A really pleasant find. So economical and so quiet, really a great jungle immersion.”

What a pleasant surprise and at such a good price, especially seeing what is offered in the area. The road in from the highway is well marked to find Santuario, you do have to pay attention. It is a dirt road but in good condition, probably took us little over 5 minutes. I had stayed in the area before, so I was familiar with it. Coming from Cancun, you do have to look out for the turn off, it is before you reach the Akumal turn, 3 kilometers down the road. We were met by Manuel, a very kind and helpful person. The room is expertly designed, the polished concrete work is excellent. The room has few furnishings but a pleasing design. Everything worked perfectly, the bed was comfortable, and the fans kept the room a nice temperature; the large windows all have very good screens. The bathroom area is lovely. The icing on the cake is the beautiful private cenote, while there were other guests, we had it to ourselves. I think that there are 4 units in the guest house, one was occupied, while we were there. The communal kitchen is a 1-minute walk from the room, everything you need for cooking is supplied. The kitchen area is not new, but it is sufficient, the huge open-air palapa sitting area adjacent to the kitchen is very nice as is the landscaping. Santuario is very new, still being worked on, but more than adequate for a lovely jungle stay. There are spider monkeys, you do have to be aware, they apparently are little thieves! There are 2 good restaurants in Akumal, not even 10 minutes by car, I think that there are others. Akumal is so much nicer than Tulum, no comparison; Tulum is terribly overrun now, but there is a good supermarket there.

The environment inside the jungle. The two free cenotes.

The staff never bothered to answer my messages regarding the wrong direccions they have in booking. I could never reach the hotel and never stayed there. But the location seems to be in the middle of the jungle and taxis were charging 700 pesos each way.
