This was a wonderful retreat, very well rounded and including various styles of yoga, daily meditation, Mayan cacao ceremony and even diving in a cenote. The comfortable, tastefully decorated rooms offered lots of space and light, allowing privacy and undisturbed resting. Joanne welcomed me with open arms and made sure my stay was unforgettable. All yoga classes were taught by highly skilled, dedicated teachers, each of them a beautiful soul from head to toe. I strongly recommend this retreat to anyone who's looking to deepen their yoga practice and to make some space for themselves to breath and reflect. The tremendous amount of positive energy and good vibes are a cherry on the cake.

A calm and inviting yoga space
The location of the studio was perfect for both heading to the beach and getting to the main street of the town.
Joanne was a wonderful host throughout - she had great suggestions for when I was suffering with a bad cold.
The morning meditations were well guided and I really enjoyed trying different yoga styles in the private evening classes.
The studio itself was calming and welcoming - I would happily have spent more time in there!

Perfect chill retreat
Very mindful of offerings without trying to sell excursions and additions.The cruiser bikes were a great way to tour the area independently. Was lucky that the other guests were so interesting, well traveled and friendly. Have already recommended and will return!

Five Out of Five Stars, All Day!
Everything about our stay at Tribal Tulum was excellent. There was a nice variety of yoga classes and the instructors really cared about helping you get in proper alignment. A lot of time when I go to yoga at home in Hawaii, the instructors aren't paying that much attention to you-- they're busy doing the flow themselves. This is not the case at Tribal Tulum-- the three instructors we practiced with were very attentive and helped us make use of all the props. We got to experience a sound bath as well!
The room was spic and span with everything we needed-- comfy bed and soft sheets too. The building was super secure and the location is ideal-- between the center of town and the beach, and you can get everywhere you need to go (including the ruins) by walking or on the bikes that are provided.
Joanne went out of her way to help us when we accidentally showed up a day early and she was super kind and hospitable throughout our stay.
We had such a nice week-- one or two yoga classes a day, dives, snorkeling, and plenty of time to relax and explore the town too. So glad we discovered this place-- I wouldn't do Tulum any other way or hesitate to come back.
Muchas gracias and mahalo nui loa to everyone on the Tribal Tulum team!!

Everything you need to unwind, challenge yourself and reset!
This retreat exceeded my expectations in every way. Firstly, the room was superb—clean, cozy, functional, and filled with natural light (which I particularly appreciate). My room overlooked the trees, where I was greeted by the delightful songs of colorful birds every morning. The facilities, garden, and rooftop were beautifully adorned, and practicing in the lovely classroom was a true pleasure. Secondly, the yoga classes were of exceptional quality. I predominantly practiced with Joanne and Jorge. I was lucky to have private sessions with Joanne, who tailored the practices to address my specific needs, particularly addressing some back pain. She also encouraged me to challenge myself with new postures. Jorge, too, proved to be an excellent teacher, offering valuable advice to enhance my practice. Thirdly, Orlando was exceptional in guiding me through my initial dives. His patience and reassurance made for a wonderful experience. I completed my Open Water dives in cenotes and the reef—a truly magnificent setting for divers. In summary, every detail is thoughtfully arranged to ensure a warm and comfortable experience, facilitating relaxation and unwinding. I wished I could have extended my stay to continue learning from these exceptional mentors. From the depths of my heart, a sincere thank you to Joanne and the tribe <3

Fantastic experience
The personalized support for both the yoga sessions and diving was really something special.
I chose this experience for the extensive backgrounds of the yoga instructors. I worked with Eugenia and Joanne. Both were excellent. I couldn’t be happier with my choice.
The cavern diving in the cenotes and reef was really unbelievable. Diving in fresh water was a treat and navigating the labryth with the dive masters was both fantastic and intense. I felt safe and comfortable while challenged with more than your typical technical buoyancy skills.
The room and yoga space were better than the images depict. I loved the room and the yoga space and stairwells are really something special.
Joanne made me feel welcomed, is a fascinating person and really customized my experience. I can’t say enough about how I was made to feel at home and supported.

Wonderful yoga experience in Tulum
Varied classes taught by masters in their specialty. Accommodations were very clean, comfortable, and close to good places for food. Host/owner was extremely helpful and thoughtful.

A wonderful and unique Yoga and SCUBA retreat
Tribal Tulum gets 5 stars from me. Joanne was extremely responsive from my first inquiry and built a custom program allowing me to maximise my yoga and diving.
The accommodation is spacious, clean, well appointed and very comfortable. The kitchenette is great and allows you to eat in if you want - although there are an ample supply of great restaurants for every budget within a short walk of Tribal. Breakfast was freshly prepared each day and was varied and delicious.
Joanne is a marvelous host and nothing is too much trouble. I joined her most mornings for her sunrise beach mediation (not to be missed if you love stunning sunrises above a beautiful blue ocean) She also was great at recommending different things to do in and around Tulum. If you get a chance do a Mayan Temple Tour and a Temazcal.
The yoga studio is a very calming space and the Teachers she has assembled (along with herself) are passionate professionals who will work with you to get the most from your practice whatever that might be …. And on New Years Eve we had just the best Chakra focussed Sound Bath.
The Diving is outstanding. Alex and Orlando were great Instructors and took me to an amazing array of Cenotes from majestic cathedrals of stalagmites and stalactites, to The Pit a 115 foot multilevel dive featuring great halocline and hydrogen sulfide layers and just about everything in between. I did 10 dives everyone different, including two ocean dives with some amazing swim throughs.

A magical experience.
Tribal Tulum is an experience not to be missed. The combo of diving and yoga compliment and balance each other. Each morning before our dives, we were treated to delicious and comfortable breakfasts, from avocado toast, locally made banana bread and the best tamales I've had in my life. The opportunity to learn diving in the cenotes is a gift. Our instructor, Orlando, welcomed us, showed great patience and took us on an unforgettable adventure around Tulum. We left with a new passion that will be with us for life. The Yoga practice was the perfect match to the diving. Intense and technical, yet restoring and relaxing. The studio sits atop the building, overlooking the Tulum jungle. The practices at sunset were unbeatable.
We could not be more thankful to our host Joanne. Welcoming us into her space, guiding us around Tulum, creating such an amazing experience.
The apartment is ideally located in the middle of Tulum, has everything need to set up a basecamp to experience and explore, yourself and the area.
There is no doubt that we will be returning.

Home away from home
Awesome location that’s nearby tons of restaurants & cafes but doesn’t feel touristy. Joanne provides you a clean, homey environment with key amenities and a delightful surprise bag of breakfast goods each day. The scuba diving around the cenotes and reef was awesome, perfectly complemented by the daily yoga. If you’re an animal lover like me, you’ll also love her dogs & cats on the property. Would definitely recommend!

Review of Tribal Tulum
The host Joanne was incredibly warm and inviting, and helped make the retreat a big success for me. We were treated to a full moon meditation led by Joanne on our first night and it was a great way to set the tone for the week. Throughout the week, the yoga was varied and challenging and highly educational. We enjoyed classes from three different instructors over the course of the week, and all were very knowledgeable and motivating. A highlight were classes by Eugenia, whose Ayengar style focused on precision, which really highlighted that my personal practice in many poses was sloppy and could be improved. The access to a bike was great, as biking to the beach and ruins was my favorite free-time activity. Although only breakfast was provided as part of the package I chose (the breakfast was tasty), the studio is located on an active road which had dozens of restaurants to choose from, many of them quite good.

Fantastic stay at Tribal Tulum
Decided to extend my time in Mexico after a business trip and spend it here at Tribal Tulum - best decision ever! Loved the space, the yoga, the morning treats, the overall vibe...it was exactly the change of pace I needed. My only regret is not staying longer. Highly recommend. Thank you, Joanne, for everything!

Not a retreat location
Most people expect a quiet setting when something is labeled a retreat. If you know your place is loud enough to leave ear plugs for guests, you should provide a warning.

What a find!
Really great place- positive vibes only. Joanne did everything she could to make all visitors feel welcome. All instructors were really knowledgeable and gave lots of useful feedback which made me think about my practice. Variety of classes made every day different. Apartments are super cute, clean, eco and perfect for couple or twin. Breakfasts were different each day delivered to your apartment.

Everything we wished it would be (and more!)
My sister and I enjoyed our six days at Tribal Tulum yoga retreat very much. It was everything we wished it would be: a comfortable place to unwind, have freedom to do your own thing whilst having the a daily structure with two yoga classes (if you wish). Joanne is an amazing host that makes you feel at home and gives you great tips, both for the neighbourhood and for the yoga. Tulum is lovely, we especially enjoyed mornings at the beach which we went to on our bikes offered by the accommodation. The yoga was amazing, it was more than we had hoped for. Being both relative beginners we learned a lot about yoga, and it was nice to have different instructors with different perspectives. Would highly recommend this place to anyone, and hope to return one day myself.

Just what I needed. A peaceful sanctuary. The diving was excellent, the instructors very patient, knowledgeable, helpful, and kind. The aqua scapes were awesome. The yoga was wonderful, beautiful space to practice in, and good souls to practice with. I'm so grateful for my stay here. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a retreat.

Perfect relaxing yoga retreat
Tribal Tulum provided everything that could be needed for a truly relaxing and restorative yoga retreat. The lofts and yoga studio are in the same building, located in a great spot between the downtown area of Tulum and the beach. As a guest, you are given a bike to use, which is a very common mode of transportation in Tulum, and which gets you easily to the gorgeous beaches and great restaurants. The lofts are beautiful and seemed designed to provide wonderful vibes, and there's even a large grocery store nearby if you want to cook for yourself. We had the option to attend 3 to 4 yoga classes a day, and every one we went to was great. The instructors know what they are doing and how to facilitate a practice for all levels and body types. Everyone at Tribal Tulum is so kind and friendly, and Joanne really wants to make sure that everyone gets as much as possible out of their time there. She gave great suggestions and provided opportunities for things like a sunrise meditation, which was the perfect way to start the day. The yoga studio is also partnered with a dive center which provides guided tours for things like snorkeling in cenotes and learning to scuba dive. I could go on about how great my experience was, but I'll end by saying how truly cared for I felt and how restored this retreat made me feel. Before this, I had never gone on a yoga retreat, and Joanne and her team exceeded my expectations.

a balm for the soul
The combo of yoga and diving is perfect
The diving instructors, Estoban and Alex were fabulous. It was my 1st time diving after the PADI certification 18 months prior. They were patient, confidence inspiring and very experienced.
My apartment was very spacious and I very much enjoyed lounging in the hammock on the balcony

Tribal Tulum Paradise
There aren't enough words that could positively describe my experience at Tribal Tulum. Joanne was communicative and consistent throughout the entire booking process. Upon arrival to Mexico, transportation was arranged from Cancun to Tulum, and even though it was late, Joanne was waiting for us at check-in to welcome us to her facility and give us a tour. Our accommodations were divine, and there were so many thoughtful and personal touches that made our stay absolutely wonderful. Fresh granola, almond milk, fruit, coffee, tea, filtered water, and coconut milk were provided daily during our stay. We were provided locally produced, environmentally sustainable products which I fell in love with. We had unlimited use of the yoga studio, bikes, and discounts on adventures through Aquatic Tulum. The location is PERFECT! It's a 10 minute walk to downtown Tulum, which has some phenomenal shopping and restaurants, and a 20 minute bike ride along a well paved path to white sand beaches and resorts/bars/restaurants/shops. The staff and yoga instructors were friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and kind. There were multiple class options daily varying in style, length, and difficulty. The yoga studio was absolutely gorgeous, with amazing light and a comforting atmosphere. Not only will I recommend Tribal Tulum to every person I know, I am already looking forward to my next visit!

Amazing Experience
I arrived in Tulum a little bit lost, but immediately felt very grounded at the Tribal Tulum / Acuatic Lofts space. Everyone there was so helpful and positive and the whole experience was excellent. I was not entirely sure what had brought me to Mexico, but the free form and availability of different aspects of this retreat allowed me to explore freediving with a fabulous instructor Esteban.
I also deeply enjoyed all of the yoga sessions I attended, particularly the restorative evening session with Joanne... I will admit to falling asleep during a pose. I ended up getting level 1 certified in freediving which was such an amazing experience, the cenotes we explored and also the easily accessible surrounding sinkholes are truly amazing and must be explored.
The accommodations were outstanding and I was overwhelmed by the feeling of home and personal touches, as well as comfort, that I experienced here! I cannot recommend this studio more highly... I hope to return again soon!

A magical experience
I decided to take a last minute yoga retreat because I had fallen out of my own yoga practice and figured the retreat would help reset me. This was better than expected. Everything was amazing. The lofts are super cute !! The studio is really nice, and Tulum is magical! The owner Joanne is amazing and the instructors were awesome! I am already planning my next trip down there again. Hands down one of the best retreats you will find out there!!

Joanne is the most hospitable and knowledgeable host and owner of this business and the trip was really made great by her and her care for her guests and clients. The loft and studio are beautifully kept, she made sure I had what I needed to make my stay enjoyable. I also loved the variety of classes that are offered and each of the instructors were individually challenging, skill level and technique-wise, from whom I learned a lot and have a new appreciation and respect for yoga. Added bonus is the ease of booking excursions with Joanne and her team who are knowledgeable with recommendations based on what you want to do. Tribal Tulum is fantastic and I cannot wait to return!

Can't Wait to Return
Tribal Yoga Tulum is a magical place. I felt at home with Joanne and her staff; including her dogs Astro and Eh, Tu. I arrived with a warm welcome and my apartment had all the comforts of home. It was clean, cozy and safe and there was fresh fruit, yogurt, granola, and coffee waiting for me. My private balcony with my own private hammock allowed me to nap by candlelight. I stayed in loft #2.
I walked up one flight of stairs to practice yoga and the teachers were very knowledgable and attentive. The studio was calm and warm with an amazing cross breeze that was perfect for the experience. All mats and props were provided and in great shape.
The location was close to the beach (20-minute bike ride - the bike is free) and grocery store.
The private rooftop was great for having morning coffee and meditating.
This is my Tulum home away from home and I will be back.

Amazing space and Amazing People
Such a well done space! Joanne and Alix and all of the crew were just wonderful people. Very informative whether it was in yoga classes or in the diving lessons. I loved the well designed space of the studio apartment, the delicious food left for breakfast. Such a kind staff at Tribal. Joanne and Barbara made sure I had a vegan lunch, Joanne even road me into town to show me where the restaurant was. She also was kind enough to answer her . phone when I . arrived to provide transpo help. I am not a yogi, but loved the flexibility in levels and the variety of instructors. The dive sites were the best places to get scuba certified (barely even snorkeled) and was happy to have the capability and great/positive/well informed crew of dive instructors. Would def return just to stay here:)

Tribal yoga, Tulum une place à visiter!
C’est une première expérience au Tribal Yoga Tulum, et ce ne sera probablement pas la dernière. Si j’avais à noter mon appréciation, ce serait 15 sur 10 ! C’est l’un des voyages les plus mémorables que j’ai fait. Tulum est une destination mystique, où l’énergie spirituelle des mayas se fait sentir. Pour vivre une retraite de yoga tout en s’imprégnant du quotidien mexicain, Tribal est une destination parfaite.
Situé sur une avenue bordée d’une piste cyclable, le Tribal est à 15 minutes à vélo de la plage (les vélos sont fournis) et 5 minutes du centre actif de Tulum (épiceries, restaurants, boutiques, banques, etc.). Nous habitions le Loft 1, une immense pièce située sous la salle de yoga, dans un aménagement simple, confortable et bien pensé. Nous n’avons manqué de rien durant notre séjour : café, eau de coco fraîche, eau potable, miel artisanal, shampoo et savon de corps, serviettes, robe de chambre. Le ménage est fait quotidiennement.
Les classes de yoga (trois par jours, sauf le dimanche) sont variées et dirigées par des professeurs compétents et attentionnés qui adaptent leur enseignement aux capacités des personnes présentes en salle. Il y a parfois une activité spéciale, comme cette méditation de 45 minutes que nous avons vécu au son d’un concert de bols de cristal « live »: c’était unique !! J’ai été touchée par l’énergie qui règne dans ce centre, le personnel semble former une petite famille.
L’hôtesse Joanne est mon coup de cœur de ce voyage !

Tribal Yoga
I stayed at Tribal Yoga for 8 days, it was a fantastic experience. The loft accommodation was stunning - fully self contained apartment so I could cook and have my own living space. The yoga sessions were top notch. All the instructors added their own style to the classes keeping it interesting and diversifying what was offered. Joanne the owner was particularly personable and welcoming, ensuring she introduced herself when I first arrived and that my stay throughout was going well. On arrival there was also a welcome basket of fresh fruit, vegetables and coconut. Loved it! Definitely hope to return in the near future.

Beautiful Room..unique experience...lovely people.
I loved the room first and foremost. It was decorated beautifully and felt really luxurious. Lovely little balcony and stunning yoga studio next door. I absolutely loved the meditation on arrival which was on the roof top, what a way to arrive. I had a fantastic Yin class with Joanne which was my favourite class of the trip. We had the opportunity to have a Mayan Cleanse with a local Shaman. It was such an unexpected joy and one of the highlights of our trip. We went to a Temazcal later that week which Joanne helped organise. Just amazing! Esteban's theory, knowledge and passion for Freediving is phenomenal and I loved the Cenote's and especially the last day when we dived underneath Mangrove trees with a crocodile called Panchito not far away. A really unique and educational experience.

Lovely Stay in Tulum
I decided to come on this retreat as a gift to myself for finishing school and it was a great experience. The lofts were all beautiful, and the instructors for yoga were always fantastic with correcting posture and remaining true to the practice. The free dive portion of the retreat was also very nice in the cenotes. The instructor Esteban was incredibly understanding and very good with feedback. Thank you Tulum Yoga for a wonderful trip!

I loved this
The yoga teachers are all were great and unique. None of the classes felt like the same old yoga. The studio is well decorated, with high quality mats and props available, and beautiful feng shui energy. The rooms are great, too. Very modern, but a bit tropical and zen. The highlight, though, was the free diving. I had no idea how much I would love this sport, and I certainly had no idea I would be capable of such long and deep dives in only a few days. Esteban is the best instructor I’ve had for this sort of thing (better than scuba, skydiving, etc.). He knows the class material, and can see the little things you can correct. He gives simple, easy to follow advice that he catered to each of the three in the class, all of whom developed differently. He combines seriousness with go-with-the-flow vibe, which are the two things you need when free-diving.

I had a really amazing time with the Tribal team and would highly recommend it. Some of the highlights included:
* Great location (close to town, close to the beach)
* All the little details were taken care of (fresh fruit upon arrival, free access to bikes, very friendly / helpful staff, etc.)
* A wide range of yoga classes with really great teachers
Cant go wrong!

Amazing solo retreat
This was a perfect last-minute solo getaway and first trip to Tulum. I booked 4 nights at the Acuatic Lofts and have nothing but amazing things to say about Joanne (the owner of the studio & lofts) who was so gracious and welcoming. She even drove one of my fellow yoga classmates & her husband to a local honey shop in the town over (the same shop that provides the shampoo & body soap in the lofts), and then we had an impromptu dip in one of the local, smaller cenotes.
The location of the lofts is also really convenient, as it's the middle point btwn the town & the beach (short 15 min bike ride - and the rental is included). The yoga classes in the studio were just a short flight up, and the dive shop downstairs was great too (you get a discount when staying in the lofts & I recommend the snorkeling trip to Dos Ojos Cenote).
All in all, I highly recommend booking a retreat here & I hope I can come back again!

the blessings of Tulum
My visit to Tulum was a very sweet and rich experience. I felt very welcomed, safe and held by the folks at Tribal Tulum. The facilities are beautiful. The People are so warm and heart felt. The yoga instruction was beautifully paired with the Free Diving instruction. The blending of the two experiences, with their common thread of the breath, was brilliant. Joanne and Esteban both brought so many little touches of care and wisdom to their instruction and guidance. I feel very blessed to have meet them. It was a moment of a life time.

Great classes and wonderful place
The classes were all different and all the teachers were amazingly friendly and helpful. The room was very specious and has everything you could wish for. The bike you get is very handy as it is quit a ride to the beach, but definitely doable.
I would really recommend this to anyone who would like to have a great balance in doing yoga and exploring Tulum.

The location was very good, very small yoga classes, relaxed atmosphere, Acuatic Tulum staff helpful when they're available, room was clean and everything in working order.

Home away from home!
Upon arrival, I was greeted by Joanne with a fresh cup of delicious coffee. She made me feel at home right away!
Accommodations: The room was beautiful and stocked up with fresh fruit and water. The room was also cleaned regularly. Joanne also provides a bike for your stay which quickly becomes your best friend.
They also have some of the best scuba and free diving instructors which I wish I had tried if I was staying longer.
Yoga: I tried to attend at least 1 yoga class a day and found there is much variety and something for everyone. You can attend even if you’re a beginner. I liked the incorporation of essential oils and more breathing techniques than I’m used to.
The staff: Everyone is very friendly and helpful. I found Leif provided me with the most information and was very cheerful. They had a new member named Malin who is helping out for a little while. She was willing to travel along with me to some bars and cenote when she wasn’t working.
Location: The retreat is in a convenient location. It doesn’t take too long to bike to the beach or even some cenote. I biked to 2 nearby cenote during my visit which were beautiful. There are also some delicious restaurants and bars within walking distance.
Tulum: Tulum itself is gorgeous, safe and I’d definitely revisit. This loft fits the Tulum vibe of positivity and slow living perfectly!
Thank you all for making my first solo vacation wonderful 😊

A wonderful yoga community
Tribal Yoga is an amazing place to get away from the chaos of everyday life and immerse yourself in Yoga and Tulum. You will be challenged but you will also have a lot of fun along the way. The teachers are world class and the class sizes are small and intimate. Joanne goes above and beyond to ensure that your time there is exceptional. I highly recommend this retreat to all yogis of any level and style.

Apartment, yoga studio and roof terrace were fabulous.
So much to do around Tulum. Cenotes, biosphere, restaurants and ruins. All the yoga classes at Tribal are wonderful.

Rooms are huge and light, comfortable and clean. The location is perfect, about 10 min from the beach by bike.
Yoga studio was right next to my room (Loft 4) super easy to just wake up and get there, people are coming from different hotels for the classes and have to ride back. Yoga teachers are amazing, tried some new for me practices during staying and was surprised how flexible you can be just by following the correct steps. Did diving in a cenotes for the first time ever, it was great. Would highly recommend this place!

A perfectly restorative retreat; just heaven
The apartments are just lovely, lots of light, lovely calm colours, sumptuous bed linen and divine cosmetics made by local bee keepers.
There are yoga classes for all preferences from hard core Ayenga to gentle Yin and all that flows in between. The teachers are excellent and accommodate novices just as well as experienced practitioners.
The location is perfect, on the edge of a gentle and authentic Mexican town with lots of restaurants serving local and vegetarian cuisine. The studio is also quite near to the big supermarket which has a wonderful range of everything you might want for self catering, including gf produce. We arrived to find a lovely bowl of fruit and chilled coconuts as well as excellent tea and coffee.
There is so much to do locally beyond yoga. We went snorkelling in two different cenotes with a lovely guide and went on a fabulous trip into the ecosphere near by. The archaeology is also fascinating.
The studio is located on the cycle path which is just a 15 minute flat cycle to the beach and the more fancy bars, restaurants and shops. Personally I preferred not staying in the main tourist zone but having easy access to those facilities from time to time.
There is quite enough for people who are not into yoga to do and who knows they may even get into some gentle relaxation in a hammoc if not in the yoga studio.
Above all the staff are so lovely. Joanne could not have been more kind and helpful. Thank you. Xxx

Counting the days until I can return! Excellent retreat!
I loved the location, the yoga classes, the diving, the accommodation, but most of all the people who make Tribal Tulum and acuatic Tulum. Joanne is an absolute gem and you can tell she is dedicated to giving everyone the best experience and practice they can have. Leif who took me out for diving was so friendly and I felt incredibly relaxed and comfortable and have now been bitten by the diving bug! I took at least one yoga class per day and they were all different, all instructors had different ways of teaching but all nurturing and I was very impressed. I made lots of friends and had the perfect balance of improving my yoga practice and fitness level while also getting to experience the beauty of this region of Mexico and meet new people. The location is great, within walking distance of the city centre and the cycle path makes it all so easy to get to the beach as well. I am a vegetarian as well and ate like a Mayan queen ha ha! The food was incredible! I also have to say, I am thrilled I never had to buy a single plastic water bottle as there was an endless supply of drinking water in each room. I will be going back for sure and bringing friends as this retreat is absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for such an unforgettable adventure! Love, peace and Namaste

Wonderful place for a personal yoga retreat
The loft was great - very spacious, bright and clean. There was a kitchen stocked with coffee and basics like salt, pepper, olive oil, etc., a large bed (note: with a very soft mattress), a pull out sofa, a patio with a hammock, a nice bathroom with a heavenly locally made Mayan honey shampoo and body wash.
I really enjoyed the beautiful yoga studio and went to every class offered during my stay, which meant morning vinyasa or flow class, sometimes followed by an iyengar class and then an evening restorative or iyengar class. It was nice to practice many different styles of yoga, and all the classes were taught by knowledgeable teachers who made an effort to create a warm community. The studio has everything you need and the props are plentiful and in good condition.
A bicycle rental is included and it was easy to bike 15 minutes to the public beach or rent a beach chair at a nearby hotel. The bike ride back for evening class was always shady and a good way to warm up for restorative poses.
This was an ideal way to have a solo vacation because it was easy to do my own thing, as well as meet other travelers. Also, Joanne, the owner, is a gem of a human being. Every single interaction with her added a brightness to the day. You can tell she is thoughtful about every detail and attentive to any concern. I highly recommend Tribal Yoga and hope to return to again.

Incredibly healing trip!
Joanne (owner and instructor) is an angel! She makes you feel at home, helps you with recommendations of things to do around the area. I came to Tulum to heal. And this place helped me more than I could imagine. The location is perfect, you can walk to restaurants and downtown if you'd like. The beach is also very accessible by bike (which is provided). I am so excited to go back :)

Excellent teachers, beautiful apartment
The yoga retreat was amazing. The teachers are really well trained and know how to adapt postures to your possibilities (definitely not what I sometimes call the "lululemon yoga babe teacher type"). The apartment was beautiful, super comfy bed, and had a kitchen. We cooked most of the time ourselves, there's a supermarket across the street so we could get plenty of fruit and veggies. There are tons of restaurants in case you don't want to cook.

Release Restore and Rejuvenate
For self celebration of right foot hardware removal, and cessation of chronic pain following 3 surgeries in 2 years, I traveled alone to Tribal Tulum. I felt safe and well cared for! I attended 12 yoga classes in 6 days--5 different, fabulous instructors helped create a peaceful and nourishing practice. My last class ended with Flavio playing amazing beautiful music from his flute, a stunning magical ending. I also did 7 dives in 6 days, 6 in the amazing Cenote caves and 1 beautiful reef dive. I tried free-diving one day and quickly learned that I wanted my tank back, I am thankful for the experience. The dive guides and all the staff who cared for me were well-trained and highly qualified. I had my own bike for the week and could venture out as much as I wanted. My transportation was well-planned and seemless. I will be returning!

Worth a second trip!
I stayed at Tribal Tulum last year for 7 days and liked it so much I went back again this year. It has many wonderful teachers, each with their own style. Classes are fresh and fun, and never boring. You are able to pick the classes that suit you, and challenge yourself at the same time. The schedule leaves you the freedom to explore the town and enjoy the beach. I especially enjoyed being able to bike to wherever I wanted to go.
The accommodations are very comfortable, with all the conveniences you could ask for!

a beautiful and chill vacation
I really enjoyed the staff at Acuatic Tulum, they were very helpful and friendly. There were different yoga classes and instructors each day, the variety was very welcome. The location is on a main street between the beach and town so it made it easy to get to both. It is close to a vegetarian restaurant called Co.con Amor that was an easy and delicious spot to get to. I hope to make it back for another week get-away.

What a trip!!!
Tribal Tulum is central: to town, beach, food, grocery store. You’re literally on the bike path. The yoga was awesome and I can be critical. My non yogi husband even went to class solo!!!
The staff are super nice and helpful. Joanne was a fountain of info and quite the hostess. We stayed onsite. It was clean, bright, all we needed was there for us. ESP the bikes! You won’t regret the trip at all.

An amazing stay in Tulum!
Joanne was an excellent host. She checked to make sure everything was ok thought my stay, and gave great suggestions about what to do. I loved the yoga, snorkeling, and my beautiful room below the yoga studio. I also was surprised by the rooftop deck area! Beautiful to count the stars at night. This place is in a great location between the downtown Tulum center and the beach.

Thoughtfulness expressed in myriad ways
My accommodation was beautiful, full of natural light and fresh air. The hammock on the patio lulled me to a long nap every afternoon.
The basket of fruit, the jug of potable water, the canister of coffee all conveyed a thoughtful hospitality not commonly experienced in other tourist settings.
The teachers were light-hearted and kind, yet I learned a great deal about alignment and was able to try poses I had not thought possible.
The use of the bikes to roam the neighborhood was again an expression of thoughtfulness.

I loved the the space the location and the people and Joanne her husband everything about it. It's exactly what I needed. A large room with a full kitchen, my own little getaway hammock in a private terrace, The studio located right next to my room where I could use the space at any time if there were no classes being held.
The location was perfect, 15 minute bike ride to the public or hotel beaches and 10 minute walk to town. A supermarket no more than a 3 minute walk across the street as well as a few restaurants next door but not so close that there is a flurry of people around.
The bed was so comfortable and having the option of air conditioning is a plus especially when your coming back from the beach and am need of it.
The aquatic scuba, snorkeling store below was a treat as I didn't have to go anywhere if I wanted to take a special dive.
Joanne made it so welcoming that she catered to each of her guests needs and even organized a Telmezcal ceremony for us to attend. When I arrived she had offered to take me around town and show me special places to eat. She introduced me to another single guest and we wound up spending the whole time exploring together.
I'm planning on returning again in February.

Una experiencia única de yoga en el paraíso
En el estudio de yoga se respira un ambiente muy acogedor que invita a desarrollar una práctica saludable y sin estrés. Todos los maestros del estudio son grandes profesionales que escucharon en todo momento mis necesidades y me dieron opciones para practicar. Me encantaron los grandes ventanales con vistas a las copas de los árboles y los pájaros de la selva.
Joanne, la anfitriona, te hace sentir como en casa con su amabilidad y atención. La habitación fue muy cómoda, con muchos detalles como agua, frutas e incluso botiquín. Tanto la cocina como el baño estaban muy bien equipados y pude vivir prácticamente como en casa. La conexión al wifi funcionó de forma excelente en todo momento. También me encantó que el paquete incluyera el alquiler de bicicletas para desplazarme a la playa o a los cenotes.
Una experiencia totalmente recomendable, con muchas opciones de yoga y naturaleza al ritmo de uno mismo, sin sentirse obligado a seguir un horario establecido y sin ningún tipo de estrés.

Relaxing, inspirational stay! Highly recommend!!
I found this to be the perfect spot for yogis that are looking for a laid-back and less touristy vibe. Tulum is a great sized city where anything is accessible by bike. Joanne is wonderful and gave great recommendations for places to visit, to eat, and to relax. The yoga classes and instructors were great as well. In the few days we were there, we tried 4 different kinds of yoga (including Iyengar) and experienced our first sound bath. Truly a wonderful experience and I cannot wait to visit Tribal Tulum again soon!

Tribal Yoga Tulum is an incredible, peaceful place to spend your days in Tulum. The provide you with a stay at their clean, spacious, modern loft and offer different classes throughout the day. The yoga classes are professional and varied, with different levels and styles for you to try.
Joanne and her team are a happy, warm bunch and they definitely made me miss them as soon as I got on my plane home.

Amazing!
Everything is perfect here.. Yoga classes, the loft, the location, beaches, the town.. I am so glad I picked this place. This is exactly what I need in vacation.
Tribal Yoga is a beautiful studio surrounded by trees and birds. Teachers are all great and staff there are friendly and helpful.
The location is perfect, closed to the biggest supermarket in the area and everything else is pretty much accessible with a bike which is included if you stay at the loft. The room is clean, has kitchen and AC.. simple yet beautifully decorated.
I enjoyed every moment while I was there. Thank you very much Joanne, Orlando, Leif, Esteban, Marianne! I can't wait to come back and stay with you again!
Love, Peace and Om...

A truly wonderful time
I had an incredibly relaxing, fun few days here. The accommodations are beautiful (my room was more spacious than my little Brooklyn apartment!), and I had everything I needed. Joanne and her team are gracious and generous hosts, and they were available to answer any and all questions. Every yoga class I took was excellent. The level of instruction is exceptional, and there is a variety of yoga styles offered, which allowed me to try some new things (Iyengar and Yin). It's easy to get around on a bike, as the town is bike-friendly and the roads are very flat, so I loved having a bike to use! The nearby beaches are gorgeous, there are a ton of great places to eat, and there are some awesome cenotes within biking distance too. I only wish I could have stayed longer! Guess I'll have to return...!

Space for the soul
There are so many wonderful aspects about Tribal Yoga Acuatic Lofts. Firstly, it's located in the middle of everything- short distance to center of town, beach, ruins, cenotes, restaurants, bars, cenotes, etc. Diving, snorkeling, seeing ruins, visiting the biosphere, going to a Text Mezcal, and having so many different kinds of yoga are all offered here. The most special aspect of this place is really the kindness and care of the staff and the owners. Meeting and spending time with each of them daily makes this place feel like a second home. The yoga instructors are fantastic too. The positive energy place is embracing and soothing. It stands out for me as those I have met, who work and come to stay, have made me want to be a better person. That doesn't usually happen when on holiday. I'm forever grateful.

Personalized solo yoga getaway
JoAnne was a terrific host. She helped arrange my transportation to/from Cancun airport which greatly simplified my visit. The loft apartment was really a beautiful space and convenient to the studio. The variety of yoga teachers made the classes very interesting. The furnished bicycle gave me the ability to get to/from the beach/town/ruins on my own schedule for free. I took a trip to a cenote with JoAnne on Sunday afternoon and it was so beautiful. I can't imagine how this trip could have gotten any better.
