We have been going to Tulum and akumal for a lot of years, but took the last 5+ off to visit other destinations. Coming back, we really appreciated that Casa Cenote sits about 10km outside of the primary strip in Tulum for easy access without the day in and day out craziness of super heavy traffic in both Tulum and akumal over holiday weeks. Casa Cenote sits right next to a great Cenote that is really busy, but cool. The restaurant is really good and affordable. The breakfasts are free in the room cost. It can be really slow when the Cenote crowds come over. The rooms have great views and the suites have really nice big decks. Our only complaints would be ... the rooms are pretty dated. It is always a hassle to open windows, doors, closets, etc. The sheets feel like they are 20 years old, etc. Also, no housekeeping unless you ask specifically for something. Overall, good value for the price and we had a good time.
