You will be flying into Cancun, Mexico, airport and then traveling south on highway 307 for about 1 hour and 15 min. to get to Nah Uxibal beach front vacational rentals.

Yes, you will need a passport to visit Nah Uxibal. As of December 31, 2006, all air and sea travelers to Canada, Mexico, Bermuda, South America and all Caribbean bases will require a passport. And on January 1, 2008, you will need to show passports for all land crossings to Canada and Mexico. By 2008, U.S. travelers will not be able to go outside their borders without a passport. . Children traveling with just one parent must have notarized permission from the other parent to leave the United States. Be sure to apply for your passport early and give yourself plenty of time.

We recommend renting a car for several reasons. First of all, the cost ends up about the same when you add up all the taxi and bus fares.

Secondly, Nah Uxibal is located on the beautiful beach of Soliman Bay and it is about one mile off of the main highway. Having a rental car will allow you to have the freedom to go exploring. There is so much to see that is off the main route of the shuttles and buses in the area that you won't want to miss! View the Things To Do page to see the activies map.

The town of Tulum is just 10 minutes down the highway from Nah Uxibal. There you will find a large grocery store, fruit stands, a fresh fish market, bakery, tortilla factory, internet, a laundromat, many great restaurants, and lots of wonderful gift shops. In other words, all you need and more. In Playa del Carmen, 25 min. north of us there is a large Sam's Club where you can get larger quantities of brands of food familiar to you.

Nah Uxibal Beach Front Vacation Rentals supply all the units with plenty of purified bottled water for drinking and cooking.

Yes, there are some wonderful cooks who live on the bay. If you would like them to cook for you just let us know how many meals you would like and we will pass this information on. Then, after your arrival, they will meet with you to discuss the menu and price. It usually costs about the same as going out, but with great leftovers!

Yes, just wash all your fruits and vegetables skins before eating them with the disinfectant that Nah Uxibal rentals supply in each unit.

No, Nah Uxibal Beach Front Vacation Rentals does not have air conditioning because we find it truly is not necessary. Since we are right on the water, the breeze off of the ocean tends to keep the temperature considerably cooler than it is inland. The ceiling fans are also great to help keep the air moving. July and August are the really warm months that people who are sensitive to heat or live in a much cooler climate may be uncomfortable, but most people do fine. We spend a lot of time there in the summer, the cenotes are great then!

Yes! Nah Uxibal's pool was finished in July of 2008 and is a great addition. The pool is very unique and was created by our friend and neighbor Andy, (who also built our house). The main pool has a sitting area with jets, a planter with trees in the middle and then a deep end which is about 8 ft. There is also a round "kiddie" pool for the little ones that is separate from the large pool. Of course parents are always required to be with children around the pool since there is no lifeguard, but it is a great place to have a refreshing dip between ocean swims or just hang out.

Nah Uxibal Beach Front Vacation Rentals sit on a beautiful white sand beach made from the coral reefs in the area. Soliman Bay is a large but relatively shallow bay that has a very gradual slope at the shore, so it is very safe for kids. There is a short sea grass just at the edge that is very important for the ecosystem and to keep the sand in place. In the sea grass are trails and pools that are wonderful for very small children to play safely in the water.

Nah Uxibal is surrounded by other residential private homes that some owners live in year round while others are vacation rentals like Nah Uxibal. Occasionally other guests from other homes will walk the beach in front of Nah Uxibal, just as our guests do. It is very quiet and peaceful at Nah Uxibal, even during high season.

The entire Yucatan Peninsula is very unique because it is made up of limestone with underground rivers running out to the ocean. The centoes are places where the water of these rivers is exposed at the surface. This water is very cool, clean and soft. There are beautiful cave formations created by these rivers that cave divers love to explore, as well as lots of wondrous, beautiful cenotes to swim and snorkel in. View the Things To Do page to see the activies map.

Puerto Adventuras is about 20 min. north of us and has both a golf course and tennis courts. Playa del Carmen is a large resort 30 min. north with both as well.

The tax and the gratuity for our wonderful caretakers Javier and Victoria is not included. You will be very pleased with the excellent job Javier and Victoria do to make your stay the best possible and to show your appreciation they do appreciate gratuities from the guests very much. They are very special people and you will have become good friends by the end of your stay.

We believe there is no "bad" time to go to Mexico, and it just depends on what you are looking for. Since Nah Uxibal is right on the water we stay considerably cooler than inland in the warmer months, making Nah Uxibal wonderful year round.

• Jan - April are the most popular months when guests from colder climates come to appreciate the warmth of Mexico. The weather is warm and sunny, this is dry season with very little rain, although it can be windy and cooler during the beginning of the year. At times you may need a sweater in the evenings.
• May - June The weather is warming up and the sea turtles are coming in to lay their eggs. These are ideal months, the crowds are gone and the prices are lower. This is the time of year to see the turtles and the temps are very pleasant, warming but not hot. Once we had a turtle nest right in front of Nah Uxibal, and 50 days later 80-90 babies made it safely into the bay! This is the time to see the turtles.
• July - August are the warmest months, but still not too bad if you are on the water. We have had many guests say that it was much more pleasant then they expected. It is quiet and the last of the baby turtles are hatching. The cenotes are great now!
• Sept - Dec is rainy season. There is still sun, warmth and storms that come and go, and you are reminded that you are in the tropics. This is also hurricane season and the storms can be quite exciting and intense. Thunder and lightning shows are regular and usually pass fairly quickly. This time of year it can rain or be sunny for a week straight so timing is everything. If you are prepared for all weather it can be a wonderful time to be there, less expensive and no crowds. It is a good idea to purchase travel insurance this time of year just in case your plans need to change because of weather. Please be sure to check our policies as well.

Be sure to read our policies page prior to reserving your stay. Travel Insurance is recommended.

In the Mayan language "x" is pronounced like our "sh" sound, you will see this in other names around the Maya Riviera as well.
So Nah Uxibal is said something like "Nah Oo-she-ball".
