Dirt road leading up to property is very uneven. I had a Jeep so no problem but I can understand how other vehicles may have a problem. Outside of this, very peaceful and surrounded by wilderness.

Beautiful property

Great stay! Beautiful location and pools. We loved the temazcal ceremony, floating breakfast, and signature dinner. Only snag was that the WhatsApp concierge number was not very helpful the couple of times we reached out to it because apparently the person who monitors it does not live on property. Better to visit the front desk in person if there is a question

The hotel is clean and personnel is extremely nice and accommodating. Breakfast included is very good, and you can take yoga clases in the mornings! Yet, be aware that the standard rooms DO NOT have air conditioning and although for this time of the year is not a problem as temperature is good, it does affect tremendously the quietness of the room as you can hear all that happen outside including conversations, the music that is played until 10 pm and the noise of a generator that runs all night. So if you like quietness at night, make sure you rent a room with AC. Also the 3km road from the street to the resort is in awful conditions. We did not dare riding it at night for this reason. On a positive note, the hotel provides transportation to go to the nearby cenotes. Make sure you are careful when renting the room as we let ourselves be deceived by the pictures of the rooms which all had an AC

Great place to experience the wilderness and the forest as well as cenotes. Exceptional service in a remote area. Very nice staff. Be mindful that if you plan a trip at night the roads are too bad only good if you want an off-roading experience. We got delayed and the roads were scary.

This property is SUPER BEAUTIFUL and truly feels like you're in a jungle. The staff were super friendly and very helpful. The rooms are very clean and the food was absolutely delicious. However their breakfast didn't start until 9am, which is inconvenient if you have early activities planned. For the floating breakfast, they were able to accommodate us for 8:30 due to us having to catch a flight that afternoon, but seemed difficult to do. If you are a mosquito magnet pack repellent and cover ups, it's intense there. The water for bathing smelled really bad (like rotten egg) I am assuming it has to do with the property being in the middle of nowhere. The AC unit only runs between 7pm - 7 am, they do provide fans. The drive from the main road is not paved so very rocky. The GPS doesn't take you straight there, it's about 5 minute drive off the road from GPS drop off.

Yellow Nest is INCREDIBLE!! Yes, the road is bumpy, has areas with water (depending on weather), and it's COMPLTELY worth the experience! We drove the road with our mid-sized SUV. The Yellow Nest will also provide transportation for a cost if you're not comfortabled driving deep into the jungle. Once you arrive let the pampering begin- the area is visually lush & gorgeous- welcome drink in hand the amazing concierge Sam will show you the property- huge main pool, yoga area, massage area, hammocks, 2nd pool, on-site restaurant, and meandering paths to the "huts". The accommodations are spacious, bed comfortable, bathroom space is huge- everything is well appointed, comfortable luxury! Customer care is of the highest quality, we felt pampered. Food & drinks were fresh, local, delicious with beautiful presentation. We visited the local Taki Ba-Ha cenote early in the morning (drove 5 mins) and loved our experience- bring goggle or snorkle, wetsuite not needed. Nature is gorgeous, relaxation is key & Yellow Nest is the perfect place to be! Book IT!!

My stay at the Yellow Nest far exceeded my expectations. The communication prior to arrival, the ambience and beauty of the location, and the impeccable service from staff made my stay at the Yellow Nest the best overnight night experience I have ever had. I can’t speak highly enough to the care and attention received from all staff but especially Sam and Miguel. Loved it!

This place was the BEST place to stay at if you’re looking for seclusion and quiet. This hotel is away from all the tourist areas. In the middle of the jungle. Extremely quiet and luxurious at the same time! The villas were perfect size and had everything we needed. The private pool and area outside was perfect for myself and my daughter. The star of the visit was the staff, especially Luis Miguel. He was extremely helpful, attentive, knowledgeable and extremely patient. He was amazing and given it was just me and my daughter he helped to make us feel comfortable and safe. I’d definitely recommend this place! I already can’t wait to go back!

You need to contact the property 24 hours prior to confirm that you’re coming. Otherwise they will assume you will not show up. They will not reach out to you. I tried to call them to let them know we were coming in late and no one picked up. This is one of those Instagram vs reality situations. Room was beautiful but dirty. Of course this is in the middle of the jungle so expect bugs and spiders creeping everywhere. Sheets and pillows smelled so bad, like sweat. All pools were dirty. The pool bed in our villa was wet and smelly. In the morning when I talked to the staff, he smelled like alcohol and he couldn’t walk straight. This could have been a wonderful experience and I was really looking forward to it only to be disappointed. For the price you pay, it’s not worth it. Hopefully they train their staff better and maintain the property like they advertise.
