This place is bare bones - no electricity, no fans, no hot water in the shared bathroom. Just a bed, mosquito netting, and candles. It reminded me of summer camp, full of friendly people getting to know each other: locals, a handful of Americans, and Europeans taking extended vacations through Central America. The beach is truly amazing, as perfect as I could imagine. Wonderful snorkeling too, the dive shop at the hotel can arrange a trip out to the reefs for you. One complaint I have is about the restaurant, the food is bland and overpriced. Skip it and head into town instead.

I loved this place!. I read a review before I went there that described these cabañas as "primitive", I gess you can use that adjective because they offer you just the basics. If I have to get primitive to disconnect from this fast paced society no doubt I will go back there as many times s I need it. Cabañas Don Armando has the best beach in Tulum. Some Cabañas are right in front of the ocean. I value this more than being in a luxurious hotel, where AC, TV, etc. There is also no electricity, You are given candles when you check in. very romantic.
