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!

Highly recommend!

Excellent accommodations and even better hosts! Cannot say enough wonderful things about Arsenio and Rubi! They were so warm and welcoming, adding so many thoughtful details to our stay. The house was immaculate and was exactly as advertised. The ocean was pretty rough when we went, but Arsenio can direct you to a lagoon nearby. Water shoes are a must for the ocean. Definitely highly recommend!

Loved it! A fantastic family vacation.

This property was more beautiful that we ever imagined. The photos truly do not do it justice. There are no words adequate to describe the lengths that Arsenio and Rubi went to to make sure our every need was met (before we even knew what our needs were). The meals were delicious, the space was comfortable and clean, and the surroundings were indescribably beautiful and luxurious. Prior to the visit, communication with the owner was easy and beyond helpful: he answered all of our questions promptly and thoroughly. We highly recommend this property for your family vacation.

Just Perfect!

This magnificent property was the perfect place for me and several buddies from college to relax and unwind. Louisa and Manual are friendly, unintrusive and extremely accommodating. The house looks as good in person as it does in pictures. Could not be happier with our decision to stay here! Highly recommend.

Fun in the sun

Villa Escapar is a sizeable home and large enough for big groups/families. The house is exactly as described. Ruby and Aresenio are amazing! They truly you want you to relax and enjoy your vacation with wonderful attention to detail. The food was delicious. We had them prepare most of our meals, except for the few we ate out.. Highly recommend this property.

Nothing but the best

I have to say the this property is the best we have rented on Home away. The property is set at the North end of Tulum on a secluded beach. A couple of houses share the beach but no big hotels or high rises near your private location. Manuel and Luisa are perfect hosts tending to whatever you need. We had a big group and Luisa was up for the challenge to prepare some unbelievable meals. The property has every amenity needed. Would highly recommend you stay here.

Property is NOT 10 mins from Tulum

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.

Beautiful private Mexican getaway

Villa Escapar is utterly amazing. We will never forget this vacation. Rubi and Arcenio make this place a home away from home. They both take so much pride in tending to your every need from the smallest to the tallest guest . 😊. When the wind blew a tree into the power line and electricity was lost for a moment , they still served an over the top dinner and resolved the situation without missing a beat. They truly care about making your experience the best they can. We will visit them again. ❤️ Make sure you have them cook for you everyday. I highly recommend the lobster , coconut shrimp , grilled steak and salsa verde! You won’t go wrong with any meal served. Thank you Rubi and Arcenio.

Great stay in Tulum

We stayed for a week at Villa Escapar with another family. Both families have young kids. Luisa and Manuel took fantastic care of us. Luisa prepared great meals and Manuel cleaned the beach every day and even took us to the beach down the road and took us snorkeling. The beach at Villa Escapar is pretty rocky/coral-covered. You need to bring water shoes if you want to go in the water. Our teenager stepped on a sea urchin in the coral the first day we were there. We drove into Tulum and purchased shoes at the Chedraui in town. We drove into Tulum and spent the day at Ziggy’s Beach Club — the beach there is free of coral/rocks. Villa Escapar is beautiful and very well maintained by Luisa and Manuel. We loook forward to visiting again.

Amazing Experience

This house is everything you want for a vacation. The pool is spectacular, the views around the house are stunning, the baby sea turtles are the cutest thing you've ever seen, and the food is stellar! We did a friend's trip here and left a few times for activities but wanted to rush back to the house to enjoy the pool, Louisa's food, and the beach. The staff is fantastic and you hardly notice they are there and they provide anything you want. We saw large leatherback sea turtles every night come up from the ocean and lay their eggs and then cover them up and swim out to sea. There was seaweed that washed up on the shore so bring water shoes if you want to go into the ocean. It is a little rocky upon entering the water. The only complaint I have is that we didn't stay long enough.

Most relaxing family vacation EVER!

Not a care in the world sums up our stay at Villa Escapar. This was a great house for the 8 adults in our party. As soon as we were warmly greeted by Arsenio & Rubi & given the house tour we knew that we chose the perfect place for our family vacation. The view from the back of the house on every level was spectacular. All rooms were spacious, clean and had air conditioning. But by far the best part of our stay was the fabulous, most personalized, attentive service we received from Arsenio & Rubi. Every single meal was perfection. They even accommodated the most pickiest of eater in our group! We always looked forward to seeing them coming out to the pool with drinks in hand keeping us well refreshed & fed! It was such a treat & pleasure getting to know them and how well they were able to anticipate our needs. They truly made this vacation so relaxing that we could totally enjoy our time together as a family & not worry about the everyday details. We highly recommend staying here. Not only for the spectacular house, but for the most incredible, personalized service provided by such kind & caring people. This definitely ranked as our most relaxing family vacation EVER!

PERFECT VACATION SPOT FOR ALL AGES!

What a great Christmas vacation we had this year at Villa Escapar! Our family met from Austin and Chicago and included a 6 year old, two 14 year olds, three 20-somethings and the rest a range up to age 76...I can honestly say we all had one of the best vacations of our life. The villa felt like our own private resort (which was great for being together as a group and enjoying some of our holiday traditions from home.) It is in a great neighborhood and we walked both to Cenotes (underground caverns for snorkeling/diving) and restaurants. The cute beach road of Tulum is easy to drive to and we had a few amazing dinners and lunches there (The Hartwood, Matteos, Tabano). The villa itself is wonderful - plenty of places for all of us to gather both inside and out and the views throughout the day are amazing. But the best part is Luisa and Manuel - they helped with anything we needed, stayed flexible from day to day as our plans would sometimes change, and their smiles made us happy. By the end we felt they were friends. We would definitely recommend Tulum and Villa Escapar to anyone and hope to get back there for another visit in the future.

Our Slice of Heaven for a Week

Trip was magical…Rubi and Arsenio made the difference, turning a beautiful house into a home. We are a family of nine, 3 generations ages 5 to 73. We travel often, far and wide and love villas for the togetherness they provide. We count this as one of our best experiences, photos don’t do it full justice. 5 en-suite bedrooms, beautifully decorated, two with views to die for, provide ample & comfortable room for all. The family loved the pool, shade provided by palapas, the roof top at sunset and the layout of property and shared spaces. Beach was miraculous for nature lovers, gifts of shells and sea fans were nonstop. Hundreds of turtles were born while we were there and if you wake for sunrise you’ll catch eggs being laid, mamas covering nests & traveling back to the sea. A pure turquoise water cenote and beach front restaurant (recommended by Arsenio) are within walking distance and worth the time. Must admit you had to pry us away from the property as Arsenio and Rubi provide unparalleled meals and housekeeping tailored to your needs …we had a vegan and a gluten/corn intolerant eater in our midst. They actually crafted for our specific needs at each meal, even baking crepes with gluten free flour! All dishes rivaled 5 star restaurants, flaming desserts and all! Arsenio watches carefully and magically solves all issues, instantly, often clairvoyantly. Rubi keeps an immaculate house, with fresh soft towels everywhere. They are always near, cheerful but not intrusive. Property manager was also attentive and kind. Addressing others concerns: there are multiple TVs, fine mattresses /linens, 24 hour security; the entry road was well packed dirt and graded, no construction noise at our time and for those that don’t expect increased seaweed in August you just haven’t travelled (this year in particular), it’s a seasonal event. One that didn’t keep us from the ocean BTW. Water shoes are needed in the water, the beach is sandy, has turtle holes and is not too rocky. We recommend a car over taxis. We fished, caught tons & our 5 year old watched Daddy pull in a barracuda (Arsenio thoughtfully arranged a memorable experience for his 1st time). Massages and pedicures were arranged on no notice, all superb. Bottom line: don’t hesitate. I’ll let you discover the wonders of Mexico, we’ve been there a few times before. Please give our best regards to Arsenio, Rubi and their beautiful daughter. Thank you John for having us! We’ll be back.
