Unplug & Unwind: Luxury Eco-Glamping in Paradise (Puerto Morelos, Mexico)

Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the gloriously messy, imperfect, and utterly captivating world of Unplug & Unwind: Luxury Eco-Glamping in Paradise in Puerto Morelos, Mexico. Forget your sanitized, perfectly-polished travel reviews. This is the real deal. Prepare for… well, everything.

First Impressions & The Initial "WHOA" Factor:

Okay, picture this: you've just bailed off the plane, sweat glistening (it's Mexico, people!), and you're supposed to be heading to a regular hotel. But instead, you're steered down a jungle path, and BAM! You're staring at a tent. A luxury tent. Not the kind you wrestled with in college. This is a glamping situation, my friends. And it's… well, it's kind of mind-blowing.

Accessibility - The Good, The Okay, The "Needs Improvement" (Let's Be Honest):

Wheelchair Accessible? This is where things get a little… tricky. The website says they have facilities for disabled guests. I'm going to be brutally honest here: the paths are gravelly. Beautiful, jungle-y gravelly. Not exactly wheelchair-friendly. My suggestion? Call ahead. Ask specific questions. Don't just rely on generic "accessible" claims. The staff, though, were incredibly friendly and willing to help. So, potential, but not perfect.
Elevator: Nope. Nature's stairs are the way to go here.
Other Considerations: The resort is designed for a rustic experience. I would say that it is not the best option for those with mobility issues.

The "Unplug" Part: Internet & Digital Detox (Or Not):

Free Wi-Fi in All Rooms! Hallelujah! And, the best part, it actually works. I mean, it's not lightning-fast, but it's enough to check emails, post a photo of your margarita (essential!), and generally stay connected if you want to.
Internet Access - LAN? Not that I noticed. Seriously, who brings a LAN cable to a glamping site?
Wi-Fi in Public Areas: Yep. Poolside, in the restaurant, even in the… well, everywhere.

Things to Do & Ways to Relax: From Bliss to… Well, Maybe Not Bliss:

This is where Unplug & Unwind really shines. Forget the generic hotel amenities. This is about embracing the jungle.

Swimming Pool [Outdoor] & Pool with View: Okay, the pool. It's gorgeous. Infinity edge, overlooks the jungle. The water is the perfect temperature. I spent hours there. Seriously, I think my skin is permanently pruney.
Spa, Spa/Sauna, Body Wrap, Body Scrub, Massage: They have a spa. It's fantastic. The massages are divine. The body scrub? My skin felt like a baby's bottom. Worth every penny.
Sauna & Steamroom: Didn't get to these. Time, you cruel mistress!
Gym/Fitness: Yeah, they have a fitness center. I looked at it. From the pool.
Foot bath: A welcome treat after a hike.
Things to Do: They organize some activities. I did a hike. It was hot. But the guide was great.

Cleanliness and Safety: Feeling Safe & Sound?

Happy hour: Essential. Margaritas, people. Margaritas.

Xakluum Eco Glampings Puerto Morelos Mexico

Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn't your perfectly curated Instagram feed. This is Xakluum Eco Glamping, Puerto Morelos, Mexico, through my eyes, and trust me, it's going to be a bumpy, beautiful ride. Prepare for some serious oversharing.

Xakluum Eco Glamping: A Glorified Tent in Paradise (Maybe?) - My Messy Itinerary

Day 1: Arrival & Tent Trauma (and Tequila, Thank God)

1:00 PM: Arrival at Cancun Airport (CUN). Ugh, the airport. Always a goddamn adventure. This time? Lost luggage drama. My perfectly curated "vacation wardrobe" (read: flowy dresses and impractical sandals) vanished into the abyss. Cue internal panic. Luckily, the airport tequila bar was conveniently located. Priorities, people. Priorities.
2:30 PM: Shuttle to Xakluum. The drive was… well, let's say it was scenic. Beautiful, yes. Smooth? Absolutely not. My stomach does NOT appreciate winding roads. I spent a good portion of the ride alternating between staring at the lush jungle and clutching my travel-sized Dramamine.
4:00 PM: Check-in & Tent… Revelation. Okay, the "glamping" part is a stretch. The website promised "luxury tents." I got… a glorified tent. Don't get me wrong, it's spacious, the bed is comfy (thank god for that), and the mosquito net is a lifesaver. But "luxury"? Let's just say my expectations were slightly…adjusted. The bathroom situation? Well, let's just say I'm getting intimately acquainted with the concept of "open-air showering."
5:00 PM: First Swim & Existential Dread. Took a plunge in the pool. It's gorgeous, crystal clear, and…crowded. Okay, the other guests are friendly, but I'm not a huge fan of communal splashing, so I retreated to a shady spot with a book (that I can't find).
7:00 PM: Dinner & The Mosquito Massacre. Dinner was at the on-site restaurant. The food was delicious, but the mosquitoes? Oh, the mosquitoes. They were relentless. I’m pretty sure I donated a pint of blood to the local ecosystem. Note to self: invest in industrial-strength bug spray. And maybe a hazmat suit.
8:30 PM: Stargazing & Regret. The stars are incredible, truly. The night sky is a velvet curtain sprinkled with diamonds. But the humidity? Ugh. I'm pretty sure my hair now has its own ecosystem. And did I mention the mosquitoes? They are still very much a thing. And I'm starting to wonder if I should have just booked a hotel.

Day 2: Cenotes & Cultural Clashes (and Culinary Catastrophes)

8:00 AM: Breakfast & The Great Coffee Conundrum. Breakfast was included, which is always a win. Except the coffee? Weak. Like, "whisper of coffee" weak. I need caffeine, people! I'm pretty sure I saw my blood pressure drop.
9:00 AM: Cenote Exploration (and Mild Panic). We booked a cenote tour. The cenotes are breathtaking, these hidden gems of natural pools. The water is unbelievably clear and cool. I'm not a strong swimmer, and I'm a bit claustrophobic, so the initial descent into the cenote was a moment of pure, unadulterated terror. I actually yelled "Help, I'm sinking!" - which, thankfully, was not the case. But still, the panic was real.
12:00 PM: Lunch & The Tortilla Trauma. Lunch at a local "authentic" restaurant. The tacos? Divine. The tortillas? Let's just say they were… challenging. I'm pretty sure I chipped a tooth. And I'm pretty sure I'm going to be lactose intolerant, I ate too much cheese.
2:00 PM: Mayan Ruins (and My Impatience). Visited some Mayan ruins. Fascinating, historically significant, and…hot. So, so hot. I spent most of the tour sweating, swatting at flies, and fantasizing about an air-conditioned nap. The tour guide, bless him, spoke for 4 hours. I think, I was bored.
5:00 PM: Poolside Recovery (and a Deep Sigh). Back to the pool. This time, I found a slightly less crowded spot. Bliss. Until I realized I'd forgotten my sunscreen. Cue the inevitable sunburn and the realization that I am officially getting old.
7:00 PM: Dinner & The Culinary Mishap. Tonight's dinner: I tried to make my own. Big mistake. Huge. I attempted to grill some fish, but it ended up… charred. Like, inedible charred. I ended up eating a bag of chips for dinner.

Day 3: Beach Bliss (and the Eternal Struggle)

9:00 AM: Beach Day! Hooray! I'm going to the beach! The beach is beautiful, the sand is soft, the water is clear, and the sun is… well, it's there. I found a lovely spot and settled in with a book, a margarita, and a healthy dose of optimism.
11:00 AM: The Great Sand Dilemma. I can't relax! I'm always on the verge of being buried by my towel. The sand is like a tiny, relentless army.
12:00 PM: Snorkeling (and a Panic Attack, Part 2). I decided to try snorkeling. The water is warm, the fish are colorful, and… I almost drowned. Okay, maybe not almost. But I panicked. I swallowed a gallon of saltwater.
2:00 PM: Beach Bar Rescue. I needed a drink. And a snack. And a hug. The beach bar saved me. A cold beer and some greasy fries is the perfect cure for almost-drowning-induced trauma.
4:00 PM: Sunset Serenity (and a Moment of Clarity). I watched the sunset. It was breathtaking. Truly. Maybe this glamping thing isn't so bad after all. Maybe I am enjoying myself.
7:00 PM: Dinner & Farewell (maybe). Dinner at the restaurant. Last night! More tequila! More food! I'm actually going to miss this place. Even with the mosquitoes, the questionable tortillas, and my near-death experiences.

Day 4: Departure (and Maybe a Return?)

9:00 AM: Last Breakfast & The Coffee Redemption. The coffee was actually okay this morning! A small victory.
10:00 AM: Packing & The Great Luggage Reunion (fingers crossed!). I packed. I checked my luggage. I said a silent prayer that my clothes would arrive this time.
11:00 AM: Final Swim & the Acceptance of Imperfection. One last dip in the pool. I'm covered in sunscreen and mosquito bites and slightly sunburnt, but I'm also happy. Xakluum isn't perfect. Neither am I. And maybe that's the beauty of it.
12:00 PM: Shuttle to the Airport & The Promise of a Shower. Goodbye, jungle life. Hello, civilization. And, most importantly, hello, hot shower.

Final Thoughts:

Would I recommend Xakluum Eco Glamping? Yes, with caveats. It's not for the faint of heart or the high-maintenance traveler. But if you're looking for an adventure, a chance to disconnect, and a good dose of reality, it's worth it. Just pack the industrial-strength bug spray, bring a sense of humor, and prepare to embrace the chaos. And maybe learn to swim. And, for the love of all that is holy, bring your own coffee.

And, hey, maybe I'll be back. Eventually. After I've recovered from the mosquito bites. And the cenote. And the tortillas. But probably.

Unplug & Unwind: The Honest-to-Goodness FAQs (Because Paradise Isn't Always Perfect)

Okay, so... what is this "Unplug & Unwind" place actually like? I mean, beyond the Instagram filters?

Alright, buckle up, because the truth is a bit more, well, *human* than the perfectly curated photos. Unplug & Unwind? It's basically luxury camping, glamping, but with a serious eco-vibe. Think gorgeous, spacious tents (more like mini-villas, really) nestled amongst the jungle, but with proper beds, actual bathrooms (praise be!), and solar power. It's in Puerto Morelos, which is a huge plus – easy to get to, but still feels miles away from the Cancun chaos. Now, the "unplug" part? That's the *real* challenge. They *do* encourage you to disconnect, which is fantastic in theory. But let me tell you, when you're trying to schedule a massage and the Wi-Fi is spotty... well, let's just say it's a test of your inner Zen. I actually ended up wandering around the property, muttering to myself, trying to find a decent signal. Eventually, I just gave up and went to the beach. And you know what? It was the best damn decision I made all week. The ocean is a pretty good replacement for Instagram, I have to admit.

Is it actually luxurious? Or is it just… expensive camping?

Okay, look, let's be real. It *is* expensive. There's no getting around that. But the luxury? It's legit. Think plush linens, ridiculously comfortable beds (I slept like a log!), and outdoor showers that make you feel like you're bathing in a rainforest. The food is incredible – fresh, local, and they cater to dietary needs (thank goodness, because I’m basically powered by avocado). They have a spa, which is amazing. I had a massage that almost sent me to sleep... in a good way. The biggest luxury for me? The *silence*. You hear the birds, the rustle of the leaves, the gentle lapping of the waves. It's a million miles away from the honking horns and general noise of city life. It's truly a getaway.

What's the deal with the "eco" part? Is it just a marketing gimmick?

Nope, not a gimmick. They take it seriously. Solar power, rainwater harvesting, composting toilets (which, surprisingly, weren't as gross as I'd feared!). They support local communities and try to minimize their impact on the environment. I even saw them using reusable water bottles and encouraging guests to do the same. And the best part? It *feels* authentic. You can tell they genuinely care. Now, I'm not going to lie, I initially rolled my eyes a little. I mean, I'm a city person, I'm used to... well, not thinking about the environment *too* much. But by the end of my stay, I found myself feeling a little guilty about my plastic consumption. It definitely makes you think, and that's a good thing. Plus, the whole place is so beautiful, you *want* to protect it.

The food... is it really as good as they say? I'm a picky eater.

Okay, listen up, picky eaters! I am *one of you*. I'm talking "texture issues," "sauce phobia," the whole shebang. But the food at Unplug & Unwind? Honestly, it was fantastic. They use fresh, local ingredients, and the chefs are incredibly talented. They are accommodating to all dietary needs and preferences. I was worried, though. I was *really* worried. I told them about my issues, and they were so understanding. They created custom meals for me, and everything was delicious. No weird textures, no sauces I didn't like, just pure, unadulterated deliciousness. The ceviche was divine, the tacos were amazing. The mango smoothies... are you kidding me?! I think I had one every day. I still dream about them. I would go back *just* for the food. Maybe.

What's the worst thing about Unplug & Unwind? Be honest!

Okay, deep breaths. Here's the truth, warts and all. The worst thing? The bugs. They're just... there. Mosquitoes, ants, the occasional creepy crawly. I came prepared with bug spray (thank goodness!), but they still managed to get me a few times. I got a few bites on my ankle and had to spend a day itching like crazy. Bring *strong* bug spray. Seriously. And maybe a mosquito net for your bed, just in case. Also, the price. It's a splurge. You'll need to plan and save. And sometimes, the lack of Wi-Fi can be frustrating, especially if you're trying to work or connect with people back home. But honestly, those are pretty small prices to pay for the overall experience.

Is it good for couples? Or is it more of a family thing?

I'd say it's *fantastic* for couples. It's romantic, secluded, and perfect for getting away from it all. Imagine: sunset cocktails on the beach, intimate dinners under the stars, lazy mornings in bed... yeah, it's pretty dreamy. I saw a few families there, too, and they seemed to be having a great time. But I think it's *especially* great for couples who want to reconnect and escape the everyday grind. It's definitely not the place to be if you're looking for a wild party scene. It's more about relaxation, intimacy, and appreciating the beauty of nature. I mean, I went with my partner, and we’re still talking about it!

What's there to do besides, you know, "unplugging"? I get bored easily.

Okay, so "unplugging" is the main event, but there's plenty to keep you occupied if you're not a complete sloth. There's snorkeling and diving in the nearby reef (which is amazing!), yoga classes, guided nature walks, and they can arrange excursions to Mayan ruins or cenotes (underground sinkholes). But honestly, the best thing to do is just *be*. Read a book on the beach, take a nap in a hammock, wander through the jungle, watch the sunset. Embrace the slow pace of life. It's surprisingly addictive. One day, I decided to go snorkeling. I'd never done it before. I was terrified, to be honest. I’m not a strong swimmer, and the idea of being in open water… well, let’s just say I’m more comfortable on dry land. But I put on the gear, took a deepBook Hotels Now
