BEACH REPORT
Report date: 27-Abril-2025
𝐄𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 1/𝟓 (Overrun by seaweed chaos)
Score Description
5/5: Pristine Paradise
A 5/5 rating describes a beach that is a true paradise with no seaweed in sight. The shoreline is clean, inviting, and perfect for sunbathing and picnicking. The water is crystal clear, free of any seaweed, and ideal for swimming and water activities. This is the perfect beach day, where nature's beauty takes center stage, and seaweed is nowhere to be found. Enjoy!
4/5: Mild Seaweed Scattering
At this level, the beach is in good shape with only minor seaweed presence. There are occasional strands of seaweed along the shoreline, but they are easy to avoid, and you can readily find a clear space to relax. In the water, there might be a few scattered bits of seaweed, but they won't disrupt your swimming experience. This is a great day for a beach visit.
3/5: Moderate Seaweed Presence
A 3/5 rating signifies a beach where seaweed is a noticeable presence but not overwhelming. The shoreline has some patches of sargasso, which may require a bit of navigation to find a pristine spot. While swimming, you'll occasionally encounter seaweed, but it's manageable and not a constant annoyance. It's a decent beach day with opportunities for enjoyment.
2/5: Seaweed Struggle
At this level, the beach is still affected by seaweed, but it's not a lost cause. The shoreline is lined with sargasso, making it tricky to find a clear spot to set up your beach gear. In the water, you'll encounter seaweed patches that can be a nuisance while swimming. It's not the best beach day, but with some effort, you can still enjoy the ocean.
1/5: Overrun by Seaweed Chaos
At 1/5, the beach is overrun by a relentless invasion of seaweed. Thick mats of sargasso cover the shoreline, making it nearly impossible to walk without getting tangled. The water's edge is a chaotic mix of floating seaweed, making swimming an unappealing prospect. This is a challenging environment for beachgoers and swimmers.
Other things to note
Please note that the beach near the property may occasionally experience natural seaweed (sargasso) washing up on the shore. While we make every effort to keep the beach clean, please be aware that this is a natural occurrence and may impact your enjoyment of the beach during your stay. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and hope that you still have a wonderful and relaxing beach vacation at our property. Please have a look at the latest BEACH REPORT in our listing.

Neighborhood highlights
The Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve is a breathtaking area of natural beauty, located two hours south of Cancun near the small town of Tulum. The region has been designated as a Biosphere Reserve since 1986 and was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO a year later. It remains the largest protected area in the Mexican Caribbean and is home to thousands of species of flora and fauna.
Our villa is located 18.2km from the "Sian Kaan Arch" which is at the end of the Tulum hotel zone and marks the beginning of the Biosphere.
If you're traveling to the Riviera Maya, particularly to Tulum, you simply cannot afford to miss the chance to visit Sian Ka'an. The reserve is possibly the most astonishing part of the Yucatan peninsula, boasting two incredible attractions: the Tulum Ruins and the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve. Even though it's not very well-known, Sian Ka'an is a must-see destination, and you can easily explore it from our villa. Our caretakers have in-depth local knowledge and a network within the Biosphere to offer you unique local experiences.
In short, Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve is a unique and awe-inspiring natural wonder, unlike anywhere else in the Riviera Maya and our secluded villa is the perfect location to immerse yourself in the unique nature.
