Wow. The perfect jungle escape! Far enough from the busy town of Tulum yet an easy moped ride into the town and beach area. The entire property is gorgeous. There are beautiful plants and flowers located throughout. But, I'll have to say my favorite part about the stay was cooking in the incredible kitchen on the property. 10/10. Thank you for everything!

Rezervirali smo po ideji našeg prijatelja koji je bio tamo. Meli-Melo je mjesto ko iz nekog filma nevjerovatno u samoj đungli gdje možete zbiljam odmoriti i uživati. Quentin nam je dao sve potrebne informacije gdje da idemo i sto da radimo u Tulumu. Puno hvala za sve i sigurno preporučujem i ja ovo mjesto.

Super comfortable jungle stay, food, and service amazing. Must try to have this experience. So chill

Quentin's open air palapa concept in the jungle is designed well and it was nice to wake up to the singing of birds in the jungle. The vibe is unique. It's very tranquil and quiet and you are truly staying in nature, away from the busy beach and town. However, it is still close enough for a visit to the beach or town. Staying here in the jungle is something I'd highly recommend to anyone travelling to Tulum.

El lugar es precioso y rápidamente te desconectas del mundo, muy cómodo y limpio, los desayunos deliciosos y lo mejor que estás muy cerquita del pueblo (en auto). El dueño es muy amable y feliz de ayudar en lo que necesites. ¡Lo recomiendo ampliamente!

Es un hermoso lugar en el medio de la selva. Ví el anochecer en medio de los arboles y al amanecer me desperté con un tucan en mi ventana. El desayuno es delicioso, en particular los mangos :-)

Staying at Meli-Melo was the absolute highlight of our recent visit to Tulum. Cave-diving took us away from the lodge frequently during our stay, and I found myself longing to return as quickly as possible so we could savor our time in the jungle. There is absolutely nothing better than falling asleep to the sounds of the jungle alive at night - it was so soothing, in fact, that we accidentally slept in until 10:30 am on our first night there! The place is spotless - meticulously cleaned and cared for - and decorated beautifully. The hammock is large and sturdy, and my fiance and I found ourselves arguing over who got to lay in it next! There is a safe in the unit for passports, cash, and other valuables, as well as a small refrigerator for food and water. I particularly loved that fresh drinking water was provided in glass basins, instead of the usual, environmentally disastrous plastic water bottles. The bamboo toothbrushes provided in the bathroom were also clues that Quentin respects the earth and is doing his part to protect it. So appreciated. For just $10 per person, Quentin will make you the most delicious breakfast you've ever had. Filled with natural ingredients grown in the gardens on site, and prepared with the touch of a gourmet chef's hands, Quentin's breakfasts were some of the best meals we've ever had. Not just in Tulum - anywhere! And he will generously wake up super early to prepare them, in the event you have an early cave-dive or other adventure to get to. Rumi, a boisterous black cat, and Mocha, a mellow chocolate lab, are always there to greet you upon returning to the lodge. They, like Quentin himself, are absolute sweethearts. There were only two things that could possibly be construed as negatives - the wifi was a bit spotty at times, and the hot water ran cold fairly quickly in the shower. But you know what? If those are issues that could possibly keep you away from this magical jungle paradise, then good - you aren't worthy of experiencing this oasis! Quentin built the entire property by hand, hiring only plumbers and electricians for help with the technical stuff. I can't even build a birdhouse, much less a divine sanctuary deep within the Mexican jungle, so kudos to Quentin for his amazing talent - and his generosity in sharing it with the world. If you are on the fence about staying at Meli-Melo, please allow this review to give you the firm push you need into booking it. I guarantee you won't regret it.

We loved our stay here for 7 nights!!! This is an amazing, quiet and peaceful location in the middle of the jungle, yet only a 10 minute drive to the beach. Quentin is very knowledgable about the area and gave us a lot of great recommendations. His homemade breakfasts each day are amazing!! We traveled here with our two boys (4 and 7) and they absolutely loved it. We will come back!!!!

This jungle property was perfect! It is quiet, away from town by a stone's throw andwe loved staying here. Quentin was a wonderful host, very helpful and welcoming. We brought a 2 and 4 year old along and it's great for kids! There's a jungle gym, swings, lots of hammocks. We brought groceries in town and cooked in the kitchen. He had fresh warm coffee every morning and we took advantage of his infamous breakfast Christmas morning and had a wonderful, delicious spread. Staying here was so good for the soul, I will definitely be back if I'm in Tulum again. You get an experience when you stay here, not just another hotel (which I've also done) I hear there's a swimming pool and juice bar that's going to be added in the near future :) Thanks for everything Quentin, it was perfect!

Quentins "jungle tower" is simply great! The apartment is perfectly equipped with everything you need, super clean, safe, cozy and comfortable. Still it feels like spending the night in the middle of the jungle. Quentin is a warm and respectful host and we always felt free to ask for any help or advice. There are a couple of hamocks outside to relax your soul in a calm atmosphere without hearing anything else than the birds. And last but definitely not least: the breakfast. Quentin makes a different incomparable breakfast every day. We spent some great days in Quentins apartment and would definitely recommend it.
