16 TULUM

Château Sixtine in Tulum completely exceeded my expectations. The design is stunning—every corner feels thoughtfully curated, intimate, and elegant. The rooms are beautifully decorated, comfortable, and filled with little details that make the experience truly amazing !!! The location is perfect: peaceful, surrounded by nature, yet close enough to all the best spots in Tulum. The ambiance is serene and relaxing, making it the ideal place to unwind. But what truly stands out is the hospitality. The team is kind, attentive, and always ready to help with recommendations or anything you might need during your stay. I left feeling relaxed and inspired.

We stayed at 16TULUM for 4 nights for our wedding. The property is beautiful, we loved the greenery and the pool. The property also has a bar, and full fledged professional kitchen. The rooms are beautiful and I think because of the concrete each room was very quiet, everyone loved how they had a private and peaceful place to go to. The staff onsite is also amazing. Thank you so much to housekeeping and maintenance. We had an issue where the day of checkout our water wasn’t working and Roberto was on it immediately and had it fixed so quickly! We also loved that it is right next door to a new super market so it was easy to stop by and grab any essentials.

We were totally blown away by the house, staff and cuisine. We have stayed at several homes in Mexico and this was by far and away the best. Every meal was more delicious than the last. Alex came and played a DJ set by the pool for our pool day. All of their restaurant and activity recommendations were the best. They truly made this vacation the most beautiful celebration for our friends birthday and I will 100% return.

We stayed here as a group of 13 for a 40th birthday and it was a 10 out of 10 experience! The villa is stunning, the rooms are fantastic and very equal in terms of shareability (i.e. no one gets a bad room!), and the service was next level. Their team sets you up with everything you could want - a bartender, a DJ, a chef, a concierge, private car service, keeping the house stocked. The entire team was so kind and helpful. The chef service was a highlight. The food was some of the best I have had! Can't recommend this place enough!!

My family, friend's and I stayed at Tulum16 for 3 nights at the end of July and our stay was absolutely incredible!! The space is GORGEOUS! The rooms are picture perfect and super comfortable (I slept like a baby) with all the amenities one would want and more - double showers! The shared spaces are beautifully designed as well. Open air kitchen, different lounge areas to enjoy indoors and outdoors, giant projector scene, huge pool, and special spot to build a bonfire and enjoy the stars. Tulum16 is well located, minutes away from Tulum’s great restaurants and Tulum Beach. Finally, the hosts Alex and Laura were incredibly helpful and kind during the entire process. I highly recommend this stunning private property. I can’t wait to return! Thank you again Alex & Laura!!

I can not in good faith recommend staying at Villa 16 Tulum or using Travel Experimental for any travel bookings. Our house was robbed while staying there, resulting in 2 of my friends having their passports, jewelry, electronics, and other belongings stolen. The company ensured we would have 24/7 security which is a big reason we booked with them. The first night in their residence, we noticed the lack of security, to which they informed us they were unprepared and did not have security (ergo breaching our agreement). After expressing our discomfort, they hired a friend of the family to be our security guard. That same friend of the family was seen on the security footage covering the video camera, allowing an unauthorized person to enter the villa on the night of the robbery. The company has assumed no responsibility for the fact that people were robbed on their property, the fact that they did not have security present when that was a required part of the agreement, or the fact that their hired individual acted out of bad faith and suspiciously (for which we can only assume was the robber, or helped his friend who enter rob us). We gave them ample opportunities to amend the situation financially and/or otherwise, for which they refused. Edit based on their response below: "Reported difficulties" instead of acknowledging a robbery of passports and valuables on your property is ridiculous. The security guard was a maintenance worker that you were friends with after you were ill prepared with real security (we have text proof of this). We also have the footage of this "real security guard" covering the front camera allowing an unauthorized person inside (go to @lexihailey_ tiktok video to see the camera footage). Your continuous refusal to accept any responsibility is astounding. They did not accompany you to the police station because we all felt your actions were suspicious. Again, I would not recommend staying here.

Our week at 16Tulum was amazing. The property was spotless, everything was well organized, and the whole experience was completely hassle-free. The chef was excellent, and the meals were always fresh and well prepared. The large pool was a standout—perfect for parties or a more laid-back vibe. Alex and Laura made everything perfect for us and were extremely attentive throughout our stay. One of the best trips we’ve had in Mexico.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had the BEST time at 16Tulum! The house is absolutely massive and somehow even better in real life than in the photos. The sound system is insane — honestly better than most beach clubs we’ve been to — perfect for nights in with friends. Each room is totally private, like your own little hotel suite, which was amazing for our group. It really felt like we had our own boutique hotel all to ourselves. The location is super central too, close to everything but still peaceful and private. Huge shoutout to Maya from Travel Experimental — she took care of our entire trip from start to finish. Every single thing she recommended was spot-on, and it all went super smoothly. From the chef’s delicious meals (seriously 5-star quality!) to activities and logistics, we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Highly, highly recommend — can’t wait to come back!
