Caleta Tankah was a hidden gem we never expected!
During my 7 Day Trip in Quintana Roo in September, I discovered a hidden gem with a secret cenote! During our four nights stay in a jungle paradise our host recommended Caleta Tankah.
Here’s a better look at our amazing AirBnb. The three bed three bath penthouse came with a private rooftop pool complete with incredible jungle panoramic views. As amazing as this jungle paradise was, it sadly was not on or near a beach.
More importantly WE REALLY NEEDED A BEACH DAY. Our AirBnb host and locals that worked or lived in the building all recommended Caleta Tankah for the best beach day in the area. We decided to check it out for our first day in Tulum.

The Hotel and Beach Club, are on a National Park beach facing the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea. More importantly, there are clean flush restrooms and changing areas in the Beach Club.
You pay a $15 usd entry fee that gets you a towel, access to the beach/cenote and Beach Club area where you can order drinks and food. We grabbed a tropical drink at the bar and headed out to the beach to claim some chairs with a shaded area before the shenanigans began.
Follow the signs to the Cenote…
Caleta Tankah or the “secret cenote” was magical. The colors of the cenote are absolutely breathtaking. Maybe I’m a bit biased this being my first cenote encounter and all… but Caleta Tankah was my favorite cenote we visited. Why Hello, Gorgeous.

I visited a couple of cenotes in Mexico and they are such magical places. This is a hidden gem, you almost don’t want to let the secret out.
You guys seem to find all the most amazing destinations – what a beautiful place for a dip!
Swimming in the Cenotes are something speical! I only managed to visit two while in Mexico, although one of them I did scuba dive into. It was strange where the salt water meets the fresh water, it goes from crystal clear to almost smokey. This one looks lovely with all the foliage around it.
This looks amazing. I love the cool deck on the back of the AirBnb Penhouse. And the secret cenote, I would love to experience that.
I would have kept a place like this all to myself. so glad you decided to share it with us though! What a beauty!
This certainly is a hidden gem! I’d never even heard of a “cenote” before today. It looks like a dream vacation. Plus, the photos are magnificent! Kudos to the photographer!!!
