JASHITA Hotel Tulum
Ihave had the great opportunity to stay at many luxury hotels throughout my career. Jashita Hotel is by far one of the finest properties I have had the pleasure to experience. This level of luxury and sophistication is outstanding. Jashita Hotel sits on a beautiful private beach front surrounded by unspoiled nature. Jashita Tulum Resort in Mayan Riviera is a ten minute drive from Tulum Town and a short excursion for some of the World’s most archeological sites such as Coba and Chichen Itza. The surrounding area has an abundance of incredible cenotes to visit remarkably close to the property including Dos Ojos.
Upon check in, you are whisked to an incredible room with your own dipping pool and ocean views. Wine, chocolates, linen robes and starched linen sheets are just a few of the amenities provided for the guest. I can not express enough how wonderful sleeping in a white curtained four poster bed with Italian linen sheets made getting in bed quite easy and getting out of bed extremely hard. All bathrooms include rain showers with floor-to-ceiling glass doors, bidets and lovely amenities like plush towels with tassels. Free wireless internet access and ipod docking station is also provided.
At the entrance to the common area is a huge buddha. The room itself evokes serenity with sitting areas and lamps that cast beautiful patterns across the room. The gift shop offers linen robes, hats, jewelry and other unique items to take home. There are two outdoor rooftop lounges, with 360 degree views for sunrise and sunset. One of the rooftops has an infinity pool with comfortable bean bag style lounges, and a cocktail bar overlooking the beautiful bay and rainforest, which offers the most amazing views. A swimming pool for Adults only and a pool dedicated to children make for a very relaxing encounter. The 1001 pool bar terrace has spectacular views, and the seats at the bar are swings bringing back childhood memories. The staff were close enough but not too close to take care of any request you may have. They remembered how you like your coffee and were happy to recommend dishes that delight.
Enjoy a spa treatment while listening to the waves gently lapping the shore surrounded by sea and Jungle. We chose a few different spa treatments. The Maya Ancestral Massage was unlike any massage I have ever experienced.
Start with a Mayan Purification followed by a massage using native oils. The attendant will offer sparkling wine or organic juice if you so desire. Continue with a soak in a tub made of a thousand-year-old mahogany tree. The yoga studio is located on top of Caoba spa suspended above the beach with even better views of the Soliman Bay. The bay’s shallow waters allow you to swim, snorkel and paddle board as far as the eye can see. Jashita offers paddleboards, canoes, and snorkeling gear free of charge. You can request for the concierge to book diving and fishing trips to enjoy the surrounding reef. The bay is one of the last few protected coral reefs in Tulum.
Pandano offers an eclectic mix of Italian and Mexican flavors.
The pasta is handmade on sight for your viewing. Other menu items included lobster on the grill, ribeye steak and an array of fresh carpaccios and all were pleasing to the palate. Breakfast can be served in your room or at Pandano and is included with your stay. We chose to have breakfast at Pandano each morning to enjoy the view, the birds and serenity it provided.
The restaurant offers indoor and outdoor seating with a delightful open air terrace and white flowing curtains in tropical garden setting so close to the water you can hear the lightly lapping waves. Enjoy your meal and pop a bottle of champagne under a star filled sky or enjoy an after dinner aperitif.
Jashita hotel is off the beaten path away from the crowds and provides a serene escape for your senses and soul.
I highly recommend this peaceful property to anyone with desire for a romantic luxury getaway.
