Tulum has long been known among artists, yoga practitioners, romantic couples, and those passionate about an eco-conscious lifestyle. However, very few have heard about the tranquil Soliman Bay, a bay area to the north of Tulum that is more chill than the beautiful beaches of Tulum.
Located just 15 minutes north of Tulum, Soliman Bay has managed to avoid the pace of mainstream tourism and maintain an air of understated exclusivity and seclusion.
Here, mirror-calm waters protected by a long coral ree, lap on the perennially peaceful surroundings. Beach hammocks sway softly in the sea breeze and lush tropical greenery protects charming, two-level bungalows, logically named Casa del Corazon #1, #2 and #3.
Out of the Casa del Corazon’s properties, bungalow # 3 is the most secluded. It is set back from the beach a bit, you are next to the pool, and surrounded by palm trees and tropical vegetation.
As if this wasn’t enough, two queen size bedrooms with 2 full bathrooms are strategically positioned on separate floors, offering each couple even more privacy and relaxation. The upstairs bedroom comes with an ample terrace that overlooks the jungle and the beach.
The beach level of Casa del Corazon #3 features an outdoor patio, a fully equipped kitchen and a comfy living space, decorated with local hardwoods and Bali design influences.
Casa del Corazon #3 is part of three bungalow-style beach houses and a one-room bungalow on the Casa del Corazon Property. The other units offered at this property include; Casa del Corazon #1, Casa del Corazon #2 and Zen Palapa. Bigger groups love renting all four bungalows at Casas del Corazon and have pool and outdoor grill area exclusively to themselves.
Swimming and snorkeling in the morning. Check. Stopping on the way to Tulum at Oscar & Lalo’s for fresh ceviche and a few chilled ’cervezas’. Check. Taking a much-deserved nap in the beach hammock. Check.
It’s a tough life, we know!
But before you happily embrace it, make sure to Add Casa del Corazon Bungalow #3 to You Inquiry and pack an extra swimming suit.
NOTICE: Just like the sand on our beaches, availability shifts constantly. We coordinate reservations and availability with local people here. Add Casa del Corazon Bungalow #3 to your inquiry so we can reconfirm that your preferred dates are still open.

Our extended family of 19 (children and grandchildren, from 15-50, and ourselves in our late \'70\'s) rented Casa Corazon (and a nearby property) for Christmas weeks 2012 and 2013. It is ideal for family reunions. There are bedrooms and kitchen facilities in 3 charming/ quirky bungalows (that can be rented separately), The location is fabulous on the beach on Soliman Bay and the property is shaded with trees.. The owner, Tom Del Monaco, who lives on the property, is very friendly, accommodating, and helpful. tom has a good collection of kayaks, snorkling equipment, etc for guests to use. We made arrangements with Geydi, the housekeeper, to cook for our family every evening. She made excellent Mexican food, served and cleaned up. I highly recommend Casa Corazon!!!

We've stayed here a couple of times and the location cannot be beat if you like peace and quiet and, of course, the beach. The owners are great hosts, eager to please yet discretely in the background. Very nice small pool and lush tropical landscaping though the beach and Soliman Bay are the real attraction here.

This review is long overdue. We've stayed at Casa del Corazon twice with a third trip booked already. Soliman Bay is a wonderful oasis and is such a peaceful, quiet bay. Geiti and Jose just add to the brilliance that is Casa del Corazon. You can't go wrong here. Knowing that a return trip is booked already sure does make the leaving easier.

Casa del Corazon is a magical place. It's peaceful and beautiful and staffed with amazing and friendly people. Tom, the newest owner, is a delightful host and Heydi, Jose and all the doggies are still there, keeping things running smoothly. The snorkeling from the beach (or kayak) is amazing. The water's warm and delightful and I came home more relaxed than I've been in years. I cannot wait to go back!

Great value, our hosts and staff added to the location with their knowledge of the area and there suggestions on where to go and what to do. Snorkeling is good/great from the beach, super from buoys you can anchor your kayak to in the bay. They have kept the feel of the environment & made a truly romantic relaxing getaway. Perfect for us maybe for you as well.

Tom, the new owner, welcomed us, and made our visit fun, and comfortable. We just loved the snorkeling, the beach was quiet, clean, beautiful and serene at Soliman Bay. It reminded us of what the Mayan Riviera was like when we were first was there 35 years ago. We would recommend this beautiful place to everyone and anyone, to enjoy anytime. Thank you Tom for being such a great Host!! Soliman Bay was the absolute HIGHLIGHT of our 6 weeks in the Yucatan!

Just returned from a week at Casa Corazon and we wish we never had to leave! This place is absolutely amazing! Forget about the big resorts that have become so commercialized, touristy, and overexposed. Soliman Bay is set away from all those crowded spots, in an area that is quiet and peaceful. There were times when we sat on the beach, and literally did not see anyone else for hours! The bay itself is protected by a long coral reef, keeping the water calm and perfect for swimming, snorkling, and kayaking. The bungalows of Casa Corazon are embedded in a lush tropical jungle, yet are only steps to the beach. We stayed in #2, and it had everything we could ask for from a full kitchen, very comfy bed, 2 full bathrooms, beautiful decor, and a great view of the ocean. Tom, our host, was awesome. Very laid back, friendly, and helpful; always able to answer any questions we had. Jose does a great job maintaining the grounds, and Heydi kept the bungalow looking perfect. She even came over and cooked an amazing local dish for us one night, to celebrate my wifes birthday, it was delicious! While Soliman Bay feels like its a world away from everything, it is actually very close to many great spots and attractions, just a short drive to Akumal(small ocean front village with a bay known for sea turtles) and Tulum (beatiful setting for Mayan ruins, and a lively area on the beach with shops and dining). If you are looking for a perfect spot in the Mayan Riveria, Casa Corazon is all you will ever want and need. We will definitly be going back soon!

This was our 4th time to Casa Corazon and our 8th trip to Soliman Bay. The Bungalows are very comfy and well kept and the water is wonderful. Tom and the staff are the nicest people and we had many meals together with the other guests. We highly recommend visiting Soliman Bay and staying with Tom at Casa Corazon. Its the best!

I stayed in casa Corazon 1 with my family (Claudia, my wife, and our sons Mathias and Samuel, 10 and 3 respectively, from 8 to 15 July. This was by far our best vacation in many years and I wish to thank Caza Corazon guardian angels Tom and Donna as well as Heidy and Jose for making this paradise possible. Our kids loved it (Samuel learnt to swim! Mathias snorkelled with turtles for the first time in his life, less than stone-throw from Casa Corazon! Claudia and me managed to rest and relax better than ever!). A million thanks for making this magical corner and wonderful house available!!!!
By: Valerie Nash
We just returned from our second stay at Casa del Corazon and can't say enough good things about the property, the location and the people. We were part of a large family reunion with 9 of us in Villas 1 and 2, and 8 at one of the big all inclusive resorts nearby. The resort group visited up a couple of times and were pretty jealous I can tell you! I like cooking and eating at local places so this was perfect for us. We saw manta rays and lots of fish in the bay.
By: Monica Herman
They were very accommodating to us and very helpful. Tom, owner, and Gehdi, the housekeeper, were the best, full of helpful info on area, restaurants, info, etc.
By: Laurie Draper
We have been to this property 4 times. Always stay in the same Casita near the beach. Great location, close to many amenities. Jose and Heyde are awesome. Always a pleasure to see them and share stories of past visits. It rained almost all of the days we were there which was unusual but a good book made that ok. Tulum is growing and it was great to get back to the peace and quiet at Casa De Corazon. It seemed there were more fish in the bay so snorkeling was awesome. Having juice, milk, eggs and some other basics in the frig made the first morning easy. The coffee maker with coffee is always appreciated. A great place to get away to and escape the rat race...
By: Ken Singer
Stayed for a week with my children and grandchildren. A wonderful place to stay and enjoy the family. Minor quibble was the poor WiFi.
By: Rob Sample
This little hidden gem is owned by an American named Tom. If you want to get away from the Cancun madness, this is the place to find tranquility among the shady palms. This is a self service property. No one will be bringing you drinks on the beach, but you are only 20 steps to your own house and refrigerator. Recommended for families and couples. Three wiener dogs are permanent residencies and are entertaining like 3 funny otters.
By: Amy Christopher
This is our fourth time staying at Casa del Corazon, but our first time in #1. The reasons we return are many, but topping the list are: the genuine hospitality of Tom (and now Donna), Geyde and Jose (and, of course, Chilly, Willy and Lluvia). They are exceptional hosts, who feed us, tell us the best locals places to get food, local wares, and great snorkeling -- all while keeping the place spotless and cooking up some of the best Mayan food EVER. If she's not booked solid, make sure to have Geyde cook for you. Guacamole, ceviche, tacos and FLAN! YUMMMY! We also love Bahia Soliman. It is off the beaten path, a little long hair, and just pristine in so many ways. You'll find exceptional snorkeling with an abundance of amazing fish -- we even saw a total of six turtles this time. You really don't need to leave the bay the entire time, but we did venture out to Akumal to visit friends, and into Coba for an exceptional guided tour of the ruins there. I recommend renting a bike and taking your time. Tom just updated the wi-fi, there are plenty of books and games, some great amenities at the place like basic shampoos and soaps, as well as some basics stocked in the kitchen and the bar. We couldn't ask for more, and we look forward to returning time and again. You cannot do better than staying with Tom and Donna at Casa del Corazon. I can't rave enough. Thank you for an amazing, relaxing experience. And thanks for letting us dodge a big snowstorm in the mid-Atlantic of the U.S. while we were there!

Great place, we chose it for the second time and would choose it again! Friendly, competent, and helpful management, wonderful location and beautiful, private house in a tropical garden on a beach. Couldn't ask for anything better :)

Super easy vacation- no hassles. House is ready and waiting for you. Nice touches include: starter bottle of tequila, wine, coffee beans, eggs and tortillas.
By: Robert Tuck
Enjoyed the stay immensely! Would have been perfect score if the beach were a little nicer! Flip flops or booties needed if you're taking a beach walk...
By: Donna smith
Fantastic! Geydi and Jose take good care of the place and the beach is fantastic. Kayaking out to the reef was wonderful and some coral deposition just past the sea grass in the lagoon provided a nice habitat for the fishes as well. The beach itself was quiet and scenic and it was just a marvelous vacation.
By: Juniper Manley
Our family stayed in Casa de Corazon #1. It was perfect... the moment we walked into the green palm canopy with the bright yellow casitas and sweet ocean breeze, we knew we would leave this oasis only for necessities. The casita was clean, simple, comfortable and felt like home. It was not pretentious, which for Riviera Maya - is just what we wanted. The owner and care takers could not be nicer. The ocean was calm for young kids and the small reefs sprinkled throughout the protected bay was perfect for beginning snorkelers. We even got to swim with a small turtle. The kayaks were a pleasant way to explore up and down the bay. We definitely will be back... next time with friends.
By: Amanda Lane
Came here for a girlfriends' retreat in June. Beautiful piece of paradise, amazing owners and staff. Tom, Donna, Geyti and Jose were all fabulous hosts and I look forward to visiting them again soon. Thanks to all of them for opening their home up to us - we are very grateful!
By: John Wilcox
We have stayed at Casa del Corazon seven or eight times now, so obviously we love it. There have been several upgrades in the last couple of years -- new appliances and so forth. But the things that make Casa del Corazon and Soliman Bay so great cannot be improved upon: the tranquil bay, the beauty of the casita and grounds, the attentiveness and care of the staff (and dachshunds!). For us, arriving at Casa del Corazon is like coming home. It is a wonderful place.
By: Terri Lloyd
Wonderful, relaxing stay at Casa del Corazon. Pleasantly surprised to find shampoo, conditioner, liquid soap, insect repellent, sun screen and caladryl. In addition to coffee, milk, eggs and orange juice there were spices and oil. Geydi is a jewel and we enjoyed talking to her.
By: Patti Klink
This is my 6th time comming to Casa De Corazon, it has always been an incredible stay. The casita is very comfortable and beautiful.Tom, Donna, Heidi and Jose are so special, always make you feel like home. I loved the dogs!!!!
By: Kate Patterson
This is the 5th year I have stayed at Casa del Corazon #1 and it remains a jewel. I like to read, snorkel and cook at home so its just perfect. The owner and staff are there to help if needed and to ensure a delightful stay.
By: Claire Havener
We split our eight day vacation into two separate locations and Casa del Corazon was perfect for us as the second of the two. We felt like we had arrived in paradise, and wished we would have spent more time there. The bungalow #1 was too large for just two people but would have been the perfect size for multiple couples or a family. No matter, we loved having the extra space. Taking the kayak out, tying it up at the buoy, and snorkeling from there was the highlight of our stay. The fish were abundant, the water warm and clear. Tom, the owner was delightful, and Heydi, was friendly and helpful. We will definitely stay here on our next trip to this part of the world.

Absolutely fantastic! Our 3rd time staying here, 4th in Solimon Bay.
By: Eileen McDonnell
Tom, Donna, Geydi and Jose do a great job with their property. Off the beaten path down a side road was Casa del Corazon, and that was JUST what we were looking for. Very easy to find, just across the main highway from Oscar y Lalos restaurant (can''t miss THEIR sign). Even some of the locals didn''t know where we were talking about when we mentioned Solimon Bay, but it''s right there. The Bungalow (#1) we stayed in was the coolest part of my trip. The decor of the house made it feel like home, but also the local flavor and funk of the artwork made it feel like someone else''s home. Especially enjoyable were the incredible window shutters and screens that let the breezes in and the bugs out. We arrived tired and sunburned one evening, and were pleasantly surprised to find a small care package on the table (and in the fridge). This made us immediately realize that if we weren''t already relaxed, it wasn''t Casa del Corazon''s fault.And of course the seaweed was present, but not overwhelming. But "He" works in mysterious ways sometimes (whomever "He" may be) and youhave to realize that a.) no one ordered this seaweed delivery, b.) they work very hard before you even wake up to get loads of it off the beach, and c.) it''s part of being in Mexico. "Expect the unexpected" are the tiny words just below the eagle and the snake on the Mexico flag. Look it up. On a side note, the policia did not stop us once, even on our way back to the airport in our rental car. All was cool. And again, Cheers to Tom and Geydi and crew for enabling us to unwind and unravel. -Matt in Seattle

By: Gillian Pultz
Casa Corazon is as beautiful as it comes. Corazon #2 is cool and comfortable with just the right amount of folksy Mexican. Tom and Donna are the perfect host and hostess, knowing when to be around and when to let you chill and enjoy the view. The bay is clear and calm and easy to navigate. Chamico's, a laid-back outdoor restaurant within walking distance for lunch, has the best ceviche and fried whole fish I had the pleasure to indulge in. Oh and the beers are cold. You really can't go wrong here.....

Everything was better than I expected except the Internet. It's pretty remote, so they have to use wireless antennas and it's not super reliable. Also, it gets pretty windy there, but I like that.

We saw pictures and had high expectations but they were exceeded. Tom was great, the property manager and owner, as were the staff!! The facility was perfect for our group of 11 and it was the perfect vacatuion. Used to stay at Akumal Beach resort and on out visit there saw what will keep us away from that resort as I believe it is being over built and will destroy the reef there. This place was perfect, no crowds and amazing in terms as what is offered here.

By: Karen Perdue
We had a wonderful relaxing time here. Just the right combination of isolation/beach and close enough to other things to do--such as cenotes, ruins. Tom and Donna are wonderful hosts. The accomodations are very nice and very clean . we would certainly stay here again.

This was a fantastic rental house on Soliman Bay, just north of Tulum. The house had two floors, two full bathrooms, a nice kitchen and great outdoor spaces. A quick walk from the house got us to the private beach, kayaks to use, chairs, and amazing views. The rooms were cleaned every day while we were gone. We even ordered groceries to be delivered to the house so that we didn't have to go shopping when we arrived.
By: Dirk Lang
This vacation rental was one of the best we have ever stayed in! The location is perfect, just a few steps from the beach. Had breakfast and dinner on the porch next to the beach every day! Great Kitchen, well supplied for cooking all our meals. Excellent place to stay with kids. We have a 4 and 7 year old and were able to snorkel and kayak right from our place. There are tons of excursions to places within a one hour drive of this location including cenotes, jungles, caves, and ruins. The hosts are awesome, very knowledgable about the area. Overall an excellent place to vacation with kids.
By: Mark Caskey
I purchased the vacation for my son and his new bride.. they absolutely loved it and everything that came with it ... they enjoyed there stay immensely and would love to go back .
The Casa was beautiful. The beach was beautiful. The people were very beautiful, friendly, kind and very eager to please.
By: Suzanne Mason
Casa del Corazon was located right on Solimon Bay. Looking out from the house, you can see the colorful plants and flowers that abound in this little slice of paradise. The house had everything we could have needed. It was beautifully and colorfully decorated. The owners and staff were incredibly friendly. The ocean was just a few steps from our patio and the sound of the waves at night coming through the screens of this palapa carried us into a deep slumber each night. We will definitely come back!
By: Greg Adamson
We really loved this place. We asked the Loco ****** for a nice quiet,romantic location and they got it! We loved the house and the property can not wait to go back.
This is our third visit to the Casa Corazon 2 and definitely not our last. We love the location, beautiful view of the bay and the laid back feel of this location. It is truly a peaceful and restorative place to stay. Can't wait to return.
By: Douglas Christian
Property was clean. Reserving was easy and staff was flexible and helpful. Onsite manager was friendly and helpful. I have been to this beautiful area several times over the last few years. On this visit, the sea grass on the beach was considerable... up to 2 feet high in some areas which produced an unfavorable smell. Apparently this increased production in the sea grass, and collection on the beaches reaches to at least Belize. The staff worked hard to maintain the beach areas, but there was just too much coming to shore. If you want beach time, check before you book. We spent most of our time inland due to the stinky beaches.
By: Amanda murphy
The moment we arrived at Casa Del Corazon we felt we were home. We did not want to leave, in fact - we extended our vacation. The housekeeper Geydi and her husband is fantastic. The owner, is phenomenal. We will definitely be back. Oh, and the dogs that run around the property is an extra fun bonus. We loved them. We truly had a fantastic vacation - thanks for making that happen.
By: Emily Simmons
Comfortable and cozy accomidations- really appreciated the fridge being initially stocked
We have been staying at Casa Corazon for the past several years. We love all of the houses there. Corazon 2 has a great outdoor shower, and is two levels. Kitchen on the lower.Great people that own and take care of it. Pool is great! We also stayed in 1 on this trip and had to move to 2 for a night because of we wanted an extra night on the bay. Simply Love 1 because you can entertain friends, as the kitchen there is spacious. Corazon 2 is best IMO for a couple, though there is a futon downstairs where someone could sleep.

Away from the bustle and crowds.

This property is on a bay just South of Xel-Ha and about 15 minutes North of Tulum. There are perhaps 25 homes on the bay and they are close neighbors. During Spring Break it seemed maybe 2/3 were rented. The beach was never crowded and the reef is exceptional, there are several kayaks for your use, plenty of beach chairs and hammocks. Probably the most beautiful beach I''ve ever seen. Sea turtles and rays can be seen very near to shore- bring your snorkeling equipment!3/4 Corazon properties are two story apartments which rent closer to $275/ night but we had the romantic cabana, which was $100/ night.That could be why we didn''t see much of the famous maid/ cook (whose name sounds like "Haiti" but I think is spelled "Geidi"). Many reviews praise her cooking skills but we barely saw her and never were able to have her cook a meal. Two little issues were the insects and the tip. We can handle insects and its totally understandable given the lush jungle surroundings of the Casa del Corazon.Posted in each room, presumably, is a set of notes about the place and beach and such. Included is a "suggested tip amount" for the week of $100 USD and it said if you don''t feel the service deserves that amount then you should talk to the owner. We found that odd, as we were staying 4 nights at $100/ night and didn''t have any cooking...we simply weren''t able to tip that much.Tom, the owner, reminds one of Jimmy Buffett. The southern drawl, the laid-back island contentment to sit and watch the surf.You are in tight quarters and you can hear your neighbors flush their toilets but in the morning all you''ll hear is a lot of loud exotic birds calling.Some neighbors have built very upscale places- it appeared that half of these are Spanish and the other half are American.Overall everyone was very nice and the place was amazing.

Very nice place, great staff. Too bad about the seaweed problem they are having in that part of the world.

Solimun Bay was breath taking, Hatie and Gustavo were a pleasure to meet and made us feel very welcome. The Zen Palapita was was great for a few days stay, very cute, however I would not recommend it for a longer visits due to space. The property is very charming and enjoyed the hammocks on the beach. Snorkling is great at Solimun Bay, water clarity fantastic! We will return.
We had a wonderful visit and enjoyed the blue water of the bay. We snorkled and kayaked safely seeing lots of sea life. Hatie and Gustavo were excellent at their jobs and made us feel very welcome to the property. We will return again.
By: Jessica Collins
My husband and I took our first trip to Tulum, Soliman Bay this past week. We found Casa Corazon and booked it based off the photos only..needless to say the moment we walked into Casa Corazon we felt like we were in Paradise. A little off grid but close enough to all the conveniences you need. We were greeted by Heidi (excuse the misspelling). She lives on the property and helps with anything you need even making dinner if you'd like.. she made the best authentic flan ?? I have ever tasted and brought by this ancient Mayan incense called copa that is supposed to rid the bad Juju out of the house every evening. We felt like we were living among the locals vs a high end hotel which makes your vacation that much more memorable. We both left not wanting to go home but we also left with a piece of history that you just don't get at resorts. We will definitely be back in the near future. Thank you for making this vacation one that we will forever remember! Can't wait for the next stay. Nick & Jess

The bay is gorgeous! Perfect for snorkeling, swimming, kayaking and relaxing! Saw some awesome sea life while snorkeling. The ocean breeze is nice! The people are great, the owner Tom and his caretakers are amazing!
By: monique dutour
Casa del Corazon was just perfect! We were looking for a place to stay that was private, quiet and romantic...we definitely found it all. Tom, the owner, was so welcoming and great to chat with. Heydi & Jose the caretakers of the property were so nice and took great care of us. The three dogs that live there as well were an added bonus, especially Chilly who would accompany us on our daily walks to Chamico's for fresh ceviche. The property and beach are very clean. Can't wait to go back!! A special thanks to Scott @ Loco Gringo for the recommendation.

A great quiet location right on a nice beach. Great for kayaking and snorkeling or just kicking back. Rooms were clean and well maintained. It even came with fresh coffee beans and a bottle of tequila. The staff were wonderful and were there to help you with anything you needed, any time of day or night. The owner was great, and a lot of fun to be around. He went out of his way to make sure that you had everything you needed. Definitely a great place to stay and I would highly recommend it.
By: John Sherman
Casa Corazon was awesome! We were only there for a few days, but wished we had stayed longer. Tom, the owner, is a super nice guy with lots of helpful suggestions for activities and food in the area. There is a binder with TONS of info in the palapa that really helped us plan our days. If you stay in the Zen Palapa, you may want to bring bug spray. Mosquitoes weren't bad at all on the beach, but the palapa is set back and hidden in the trees with no breeze, so at night mosquitoes were kind of a nuisance. A little bug spray and fans helped. Overall, this place was perfect for us and we plan to go back. Thanks, Tom!!
I absolutely loved the place. It was not what I expected at all, but was perfect in every way! I can't wait to go back next year! It beats staying at a resort or hotel hands down!
By: Layne Rolston
The perfect escape from winter in Montana. The bungalow, beach and grounds were meticulously maintained. Gjayti and Jose were so on top of it and such pleasant hosts. Willy, Chilly and Lluvia were pretty special too, of course. So amazing to be wake up footsteps from the beach, then just a few more fin kicks out to gorgeous fish, rays and even a turtle. And a ten minute trip in the kayak out to even more spectacular snorkeling out at the reef. We can't wait to go back.

Great place to relax and only a short drive to tulum
Casa Corazon is the perfect spot.

This is our 6th trip to Casa del Corazon (Bungalow #3 each time), so we obviously love everything about it. Five of the visits we stayed two weeks, and each time have had a different couple join us. Like us, they all describe Casa del Corazon as Paradise! Geyti & Jose (and now Clementine) are awesome and we enjoy them so much. Tom is so lucky to have them. Geyti's Lemon (Lime) Pie was so tasty! And then there's Tom.......We really enjoyed meeting and spending time with him and appreciated him taking us to Chemuyil to buy fresh chickens and that 29 lbs. pork shoulder that was brined & marinated, dry rubbed and cooked on Tom's Green Egg for 24 hours - it was to die for!

But.... rent a car for sure. Taxis to Tulum are expensive and no collectivos go down that long and very bad dirt road. Without a car, better to stay in Akumal or Tulum for convenience. That said, we still had a blast.

If you are looking to get away from the retail all-inclusive hotels in the area and enjoy the local casual lifestyle, this is the place. I will definitely be going back in the future.

If you want a beautiful beach location away from the crowded resort areas, we highly recommend Casa Corazon in Solimon Bay. It helps to have a car. Friendly owner and family friendly.

6th year on Soliman's Bay, best kept secret in the Riviera Maya.
Soliman Bay and Casa Corazon is the perfect place if you are looking for a quiet and non-touristy vacation- The snorkeling is amazing just few yards off the beach--(we even saw a turtle) the water was chest high or less in most of the bay- The sunrise is amazing. The property is so beautiful and well cared for. Jose and Heite are amazing hosts/caretakers (as well as Tom, the owner) So if you want nightclubs- free drinks and buffets you might prefer an all-inclusive resorts with thousands of other tourists- If you want a vacation spot close to the ruins and several other adventure spots, and a small town (Tulum) that you can easily drive to in under 30 minutes and then come home to your own quiet paradise, then Casa Corazon is the place for you.

Our vacation in Mexico exceeded all of our expectations. The weather was perfect, the location interesting. Our accommodations added so much to the experience. Beyond being comfortable and clean, they were set in beautiful surroundings. Best of all, the beaches were so close they filled us night and day. Scott was so helpful to us in finding accommodations that fit our needs on rather short notice.

we had a great stay. We were in the third house, the one by the pool, and we absolutely loved it. The house technically had two bedrooms, but one of them was completely open to the dining room. It was perfect for my wife and I, but it would probably seem too small for two couples aor two families. a full family with the parents upstairs and the kids downstairs would also work great!the staff was great, the reef was really nice, the central BBQ was great, you feel far away from everything, but still close enough to drive.definitely walk down the beach past all the houses and get Savichi from the Myan family who serves food out of their house, that was awesome.this place was great, the exact opposite of a cruise or club med, but still comfortable enough that it is nothing like camping.

Beautiful house, beautiful setting right on the beach. Snorkeling, kitesurfing, kayaking on your doorstep, or just chill in the hammocks. The house was perfect was for 2 couples or a family. Tom, the owner, was really friendly and always available to answer any questions. Can''t wait to go back...

We loved our family vacation at Casa del Corazon! Hope to return again. Laid back atmosphere, kayaks and great snorkeling right there. Staff was wonderful.

We were SO very happy to have found this quiet little spot on Soliman Bay. It''s close to Tulum and Akumal and many cenotes if you want go on an adventure, but why would you want to leave this place??. The property is beautiful and private, the bay was magnificent and Tom, Geydi and Jose were gracious hosts who made us feel right at home the minute we arrived. Paths wind through the property and each of the bungalows are separated nicely by tropical gardens. Each bungalow has their own palapa with hammocks and lounge chairs, there were kayaks (single and double) which we used every day to explore or go out to the reef to snorkle (you can swim out too). We stayed in #3 which was very comfortable and we were pleasantly surprised to find shampoo and conditioner and things like bug spray and sunscreen and the kitchen had spices, oil, condiments, tea, and more.The beds were comfortable, and the breezes through the screened windows were heavenly. Geydi cooked a delicious dinner for us a few nights and kept our bungalow clean, she or Jose even did our dishes everyday! We had ordered groceries from a local grocery delivery service so our fridge was stocked when we arrived. Our kids had a great time exploring the mellow bay and loved the three resident weiner dogs. Chamico?s restaurant, a 10-15 walk down the beach had fabulous ceviche. This was the most relaxing vacation we?ve had in a long time. We highly recommend it to anyone who wants to be away from resorts and crowds. We will certainly return!

We stayed here for 10 days over spring break and had a lovely time.The stunning beach is just steps away and my kids loved running up and down the long stretch. They loved playing in the hammocks and swimming in the pool. Kayaking was fun; we saw turtles! We were impressed with 2 different cenotes very close by and the monkey sanctuary us a must! The caretakers of the house were helpful and sweet and their dogs were cute and cuddly. We would go again in a second!
