Great location on the sandy beach with lots of sitting options always available. Excellent service from all the staff and a nice selection on their menu. The private bay is mostly quiet and very safe and walkable.

My husband and I travelled to Tulum to celebrate our anniversary. We stayed at two hotels and one of them was MantaRay. From the moment we booked with them, their concierge reached out to help us ensure our vacation would be perfect and it truly was! They supported us to coordinate a private car pickup from the airport, to see the Tulum Ruins, and a Cenote excursion. When we arrived they upgraded our room to one of the beachfront rooms. The room was very clean and the view was amazing. We really enjoyed lounging on the beach literally steps from our room. The food was quite good as well (recommend the fish tacos, apple pizza, avocado toast with salmon, and French toast!). The bed was SUPER comfy! The staff were friendly and accommodating for us throughout our stay. They also provide activities to do on the beach: snorkeling, kayaks, beach games. A few notes that did not bother us but may be useful to others: Our breakfast was included, and we had brought a few groceries to cook a few meals during our stay to cover lunches. There is only one other restaurant on the beach that is quite expensive, so plan accordingly. We travelled during unseasonably cold weather period and as such did not use our plunge pool.

Mantaray Tulum was nothing short of amazing! We had the most incredible stay! Norelle, Matias and the entire staff (Angel, Ociel, Fermin, etc) were incredible and were there for anything we needed and made us feel right at home! The bay was incredibly quiet and we are thankful we mostly missed the seaweed! Thank you for an incredible 25th Anniversary trip! We can not wait to come back!!!

I've stayed in many places over the years and I can honestly say MantaRay was one of my favorite places ever. It is a beautiful, chill oasis with the most relaxed vibes. The staff is so attentive, kind and helpful. The concierge service is extremely helpful- Someone even bought some groceries for us. I never wanted to leave the grouds- from kayaking to the most comfortable beach puffs to beautiful food and beverage options, MantaRay has it ALL. I truly can not wait to go back, I loved every single moment. It was paradise.

A perfect getaway. Just came back to NY after a three night stay at Mantaray, couldn’t have asked for a more perfect mini break. The five of us (2 couples) booked the main Villa. All three bedrooms were clean and super comfortable. The apartment has all the amenities you need if you want to save money and cook for yourself. That said we took full advantage of the restaurant. The food was fresh and tasty with various nightly specials and some killer homemade hot sauce. The pool was clean and inviting but not as inviting as the beautiful Soliman Bay which is mere steps away and where we spent most of our time- Swimming, snorkeling, kayaking and enjoying table service drinks. The hotel provides kayaks, SUP boards, and snorkeling equipment and had great recommendations on the best places to see fish and coral. All the staff were courteous, charming and informed, we especially enjoyed chatting with Mattias and Esteban. Things to know: Stay informed about the seaweed situation- We were lucky and had none, time your trip wisely! The drive from Cancun airport is super easy, but the unpaved road just before you get to Mantaray is not in the best condition. There are armed guards protecting the road and occasionally patrolling the beach. This is obviously for the safety of everyone in the bay but it can be a little jarring. The bay is incredible! You can swim out for a 1/4 mile and still touch the bottom easily. We are already planning our next trip to Mantaray Tulum!

Mantaray Tulum is amazing! Perfect vibe - super chill and just steps from the beach. Rooms are cool and clean, staff is super friendly and always helpful. The food is delicious, especially breakfast and the cocktails. A bit pricey, but totally worth it for an authentic Tulum experience.

We stayed at the hotel for 3 nights and had a fantastic time. The rooms were clean and spacious, the bed was large and very comfortable. A few little things needed to be sorted when we first checked in but Mati and team were incredibly helpful throughout and made us feel like VIPs. The beach area was bliss, we aren't the the sort to normally spend all day at the beach but it was so beautiful and calm we did...twice. The bay itself had great snorkeling, visibility could have been better but there were lots of fish. Our stay at the hotel gave us access to the beach club and it was the standout in the area. Great service and great vibes. There were lots of seats and beds around without being too busy. I would recommend this beach club without hesitation.
