Great place! Spent two weeks and didn't want to leave. Felt like home. The most beautiful beach in Soliman Bay, right in front of the beautiful reef. Luis and his wife who work at Casa Playa helped us a lot. They told us where the best local restaurants were, where to buy fresh fish and meat. when Luis was in town, he brought us fresh fish at our request. we will definitely come back next year.

Highly recommend

Such a wonderful place off the beaten path of the bustle of Tulum! Luis and Anabel couldn't have been more accommodating and the property owner made some date changes simple. The property, casita, kayaks, beach were all spotless. In fact, the beach was more pristine than any other on the bay thanks to Alejandro. Maya Playa provided just the right amount of everything we needed for a peaceful, private and leisurely beach vacation.

Great stay

We had a wonderful trip to Bahia Soliman. Luis and Anabel were so kind and helpful.The casita was very comfortable and clean. We enjoyed the little pool with our children. The sargasso seaweed had already begun to cover the shoreline by the time we arrived, but we realized it was no problem to take a kayak right through the seaweed into the clear waters of the bay. From there, we were able to snorkel and land the kayaks on the sides of the bay where the seaweed doesn't collect for some beach time. We would definitely return to this place. It was so beautiful and peaceful. Other tips - Tulum is very close by for delicious street tacos and grocery stores. The restaurant across the highway, Oscar y Lalo, was quite delicious.

About the host

Hosted by Glynis Fleming

Host profile image
We really want to share this amazing location with others and make memorable holidays and memories. Casa Playa Maya is located in pristine Bahia Soliman. It's a beautiful private beach in a protected bay. Unlike busy Tulum beach, our location is quiet with a beautiful sandy beach.

Entering the north end of Tulum Beach costs visitors $415 pesos each. When you rent with us your private beach is included...no need to pay to visit a busy commercialize beach.

We want our guests to come away feeling like they have truly had a vacation in a tropical paradise.

Why they chose this property

Soliman Bay remains the best kept secret on the Riviera Maya and we feel blessed to have discovered it. It's perfect for people who want a holiday away from noisy crowds but close enough to town for some night life and shopping.

What makes this property unique

This is the polar opposite of an all inclusive resort. There are no crowds, but Tulum is close enough for some night life, great award-winning restaurants, mayan ruins and other attractions. Soliman Bay hosts only 48 properties and sits on the 2nd largest reef in the world. The beach and water have lovely white sand, the water is warm and aquamarine. Because the bay is uncrowded, guests can expect to see lots of sea life like sea turtles, rays, tropical fish, crayfish and more. Our community operates the Bahai-Soliman Turtle Protection Program and we hatch over 3000 baby turtles on the bay each year and it's climbing. These are only a few special things...the rest are you...when you visit.
