I just spent 12 days at Rudolf's place, and it is just as magical and beautiful as I have hoped.
If you are expecting a 5-start all inclusive hotel, this might not be for you, but if you want to get away from the crowds and enjoy peace and quiet, on your own beach, this is perfect.
First, pros: the fridge is updated to the new full size fridge, not in the pictures, so that was great.
I was working remotely, and internet was fast enough for that (not a given in all places in Mexico). A bit slow if you want to stream Netflix on two devices at once, but more than enough for work. Fully stocked kitchen, everything one might need. We have not used the grill, but it was available as well. Kayaks, snorkeling gear - all available and just as in the pictures.
Cons: mosquitos on days when there was no wind. Bring all the Deet you can carry, locally bought Off didnt help, I think they actually enjoyed that stuff. I do have a mosquito problem - they find me in a crowd or on a deserted island and select just me from a group of people, which lead to a healthy doze of paranoia, which I was glad for in this case - I brougth every anti-mosquito poison I could think of with me. On windy days they were not an issue at all, and the screens on all the windows and the mosquito nets on the beds help. Out of 12 days I think there were only 2 when they were an issue, and mostly because my partner left the door open after dark, which was a huge no. On the other hand, got to meet 3 tiny house gekkos that were hiding before that, but came out to hunt the bugs. Thinking of getting me one for my home in Cali now.
Car helps, but there are taxis in town if you decide not to rent.
For longer stays, go to Chedraui in Cancun, Tulum or Chetumal, depending where you are coming from, and stock up with necesseties, although unless you are very picky about what coffee and liquor you like, you will find most necessities in local stores in Mahahual, just go to the locals side of the town, not the tourist center - prices are higher there.
I cant really express how trully gorgeous this place is. I woke up every day before 7 not to miss any sunrises. Stars a so much brighter than anywhere else I've been!
And the self-made reef, although took me 11 out of 12 days to find, is worth the effort - you can enjoy snorkeling and fish watching without leaving the property.
Would absolutely recommend and I hope to come back there again one day
