Bambú Kessler reports from Tulum: “Here’s an offer so great, you’ll think we’re April Foolin’. We have a few nights open during Easter Week at La Vía Laktea Luxury Beach Cabañas in Tulum on the Riviera Maya, so we are starting our low season discount a little early this year. Effective immediately, all reservations — including Easter  — are being taken at the SPECIAL low season rate until July 15. Ocean-front upper $153. Ocean-front lower $135. Jungle-view $85.

About La Vía Laktea

La Vía Laktea consist of ten large, solid, comfortable cabañas with concrete construction and traditional Mayan thatched “palapa” roofs located on one of Mexico’s most remote and beautiful beaches. Most of our furnishings are made by local artisans. The rooms are much larger than any others in this area — 36 sq. m. by 118 sq. ft with a 16 m2/52 sq. ft or larger balcony or terrace. It is one of the last hotels before the Sian Ka’an Biosphere begins.

Installations are designed to reduce environmental footprint. The electrical plant is limited to to seven hours a day for environmental reasons. The cabañas take maximum advantage of natural ventilation. The beach in front of the hotel is cleaned frequently. Laundry is done off-site in Tulum to avoid polluting the lagoon on the jungle side of the hotel.

Co-owner Bambú Kessler says, “Robert and I live at La Vía Laktea. When you stay with us, you are, in effect, staying in our home. We try our best to treat you as friends, not customers.”

The hotel is located on hidden Punta Piedras beach, at the edge of the Sian Ka’an Biological Reserve in the municipality of Tulum, about two hours south of Cancun by car. A very discreet driveway leads through the palm trees and green shaded light that surround the site.
