Hotel Caleta Tankah

The saltwater cenote, or lagoon, was the best part. It was lovely, and you could do a little snorkeling there. There's another cenote close to the beach club that visitors can access. It's on the small side, but still a nice spot to snorkel. The beach beds were nice and the food was good too. Worth a visit.

With a car, this is a nice alternative to a beach club on the Tulum beachfront, and the crowd may be more relaxed. For 300 pesos, you get sunbeds, an umbrella, the little caleta, and access to a cenote. Beginners can snorkel in both, so it can be a fun outing. The reception staff were kind. I can't really comment on the restaurant or food since we only had a beer, but I wasn't keen on the restaurant staff. The woman working that day wasn't especially kind, and we saw her checking some guests' water bottles to make sure they weren't sneaking alcohol in. That felt a bit extreme to me.

We had a great time at the beach and the little bay, which was clear of sargassum. The staff were really nice, the service was great, and cocktails and snacks were reasonably priced. The cenote was quite small. We paid 300 pesos per person to visit Caleta Tankah's beach club. That included beach access, bathrooms, showers, the cenote, and a chair. Outside food isn't allowed.

The caleta was the highlight, a turquoise cenote with seawater flowing in. Such a unique experience for anyone visiting Tulum. The big beds were amazing, the beer was ice cold, and the iguanas were friendly too. Thanks to Arnold, Ernesto, and Joel for making us feel at home during our beach day at Caleta Tankah, and to Mariano for inviting us. We'll definitely come back.
