THE PINK NOTEBOOK VERDICT
Wakax Hacienda - Cenote & Boutique Hotel
At Wakax Hacienda, mornings often begin in Cenote Nohoch, a private sinkhole on the property where guides lead swimmers into the underground river system running beneath the jungle, past ancient stalactite and stalagmite formations. The 160-hectare colonial-style hacienda sits eleven kilometres inland from central Tulum, with Xel-Ha Water Park, the Coba ruins and Xcaret Eco Theme Park among its listed nearby sights, which suits travellers chasing jungle and cave more than those wanting to stay within walking distance of downtown Tulum. Its fifty rooms span six categories, from Standard Kings to a three-level Master Villa with its own plunge pool, and all keep air conditioning, minibars and garden or jungle views as standard, most with a terrace. A day here can run from a bike ride through the estate's Mayan village to a temazcal sweat lodge ceremony led by a shaman, or simply laps in one of three outdoor pools followed by a booked massage at the spa. What sets it apart from other Tulum hotels is that underground river itself, a forty-five-minute swim through semi-flooded caverns lined with stalactites and stalagmites, in what the property calls the world's capital for cave diving. Families get a playroom and babysitting on request, while the villas suit couples wanting a private pool and rooftop view. It will not suit anyone travelling with a pet, since none are allowed, or anyone hoping to avoid extra costs, since a resort fee and Mexico's separate VISITAX both apply. For those willing to drive inland for it, the cenote alone is worth the detour. Eleven kilometres inland from central Tulum, this 160-hectare hacienda holds its own cenote and a forty-five-minute underground river swim past stalactites and stalagmites, what the property itself calls its best-kept secret. It suits travellers chasing jungle and cave, not those wanting a walkable beach scene or room for a pet.

Insider Info
What to Know Before You Go
Swim Cenote Nohoch's Underground River
Guests can descend into Cenote Nohoch, a private natural sinkhole connected to the world's largest underground river system, and swim a forty-five-minute route through a semi-flooded cavern lined with ancient stalactites and stalagmites. The journey reveals rare cave wildlife and explains why the Yucatan Peninsula is considered the global capital for cave diving.
Ancestral Wellness Rituals Beyond the Spa Menu
Beyond standard massages, the hacienda's wellness program includes Marma therapy, reflexology, Reiki, and a Temazcal Sweat Lodge Ceremony led by a shaman. Guests share ceremonial tea, honor the four elements, and enter a stone sweat lodge for an ancestral Mayan ritual meant to restore balance between body, mind, and spirit.
