A breakfast that floats in a jungle pool. At The Yellow Nest near Dos Ojos, you start with a floating breakfast in the pool and keep the day rolling with cenote-area calm, photo stops, and a Temazcal experience. Expect a relaxed 6 hours that mixes comfort (good food, drinks, clean facilities) with Mayan-root ritual.

I also love the way the plan uses the property to slow you down. You get use of the common areas from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm, so this is not just a quick snack-and-go. The Temazcal portion (a guided session in the evening, 20 to 25 minutes) is the other big highlight.

One consideration: this is rainforest cenote country, so mosquitos can happen and there are open-air spaces. Pack for bites and heat, and know that you are trading hotel comfort for jungle atmosphere.

Key highlights before you go

• Floating breakfast presentation designed for photos, served right in the pool
• Chef Julio’s menu with chilaquiles, beans, eggs to taste, plus coffee or tea
• Temazcal guided meditation with volcanic rocks and herbal aromas
• All-day common-area access from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm so you can actually hang out
• Photo help and property touring from friendly staff (names like Miguel, Eduardo, Jorge, and Iramar show up often)

Price and value: what $88.82 buys you at The Yellow Nest

At $88.82 per person, this day pass feels most worth it if you plan to stay awhile. The price includes a full floating breakfast (with eggs and regional chilaquiles), a welcome drink, Temazcal (20 to 25 minutes), and access to the common areas for much of the day. In other words, you are not paying just for the “cool moment” of food on a tray in water.

You also get structure. The day is timed so you can eat early, then settle into pool time and facilities, and end with the Temazcal session. That pacing matters, because cenote-adjacent days can feel rushed if you rely on DIY scheduling.

One more value angle: people who do best here treat it as a reset. Many reviews highlight relaxation, good service, and the feeling of getting away from the crowd. If you want action, you may feel slightly bored. If you want calm, this is the kind of place that works.

Getting there near Cenote Dos Ojos: arrival and your first drink

The meeting point is The Yellow Nest, Carretera Federal Cancun Tulum Km 124, Parque Dos Ojos, 77780 Jacinto Pat, Q.R., Mexico. The experience starts and ends back there.

If you need it, you can be picked up at the Cenote 2 Eyes entrance on the road. Still, private transportation is not included, so if you’re coming from far away on your own, you’ll need a plan (taxi, rental car, or whatever transfer you arrange). The roads can be a bit of a trek, and one common theme in feedback is that it’s worth it once you arrive.

On arrival, you get one welcome drink (described as author mixology). It’s a small detail, but it sets the tone: you walk in, get taken care of, and you can stop thinking about what to do next.

Important pre-arrival note: you’ll have your official identification requested upon arrival. Bring the real thing, not just a photo.

Chef Julio’s floating breakfast: what you get and why it feels special

The main event is breakfast on a floating pan in the pool. The setup is designed to be both delicious and photo-friendly, with the tray decorated in a way that makes the whole moment feel ceremonial rather than gimmicky. Chef Julio handles the breakfast, and you’ll start your day with a tray that looks good before you even taste it.

Here is what’s included in the floating tray:

• 2 eggs to taste
• House chilaquiles (regional style)
• Refried beans
• Coffee of the day
• A bagel bread option with seasonal fruit
• A refreshing drink

There’s also dessert baked into the day:

• Mini birthday cake if you verify it’s your birthday (with a sparkling candle)

Practical advice: eat the breakfast, then slow down. The people who enjoy this most use the morning meal as a launch point into a long pool hang. If you arrive late or leave early, you may feel like you paid for a highlight and not enough time around it—so build in padding.

Also, ask about your preferences up front. One negative story involved an incorrect omelette ingredient and frustration with how it was handled. That’s rare compared to the overall positive service pattern, but it’s still a reminder to communicate dietary needs clearly at check-in.

Pools, facilities, and the “hang out all day” advantage

From 9:00 am to 6:00 pm, you have access to the common areas. That’s a big deal. In places that feel like a half-activity, you get fed and sent away. Here, you can actually linger in the property rhythm.

You can expect a resort-style layout with multiple pool experiences. Feedback notes both chlorine and cenote water pools, which is a fun contrast: you get that cenote-country freshness while still having a more controlled swimming option.

Cleanliness comes up repeatedly too. It matters, especially after you spend time in and around water. The vibe here is meant to be restful—think lounging, taking photos at the Instagrammable spots, and resetting your pace.

One extra suggestion from the experience environment: you might be able to see an enclosed cave if you ask. It was highlighted as worth it, so if caves are your thing, bring it up with your host.

Temazcal in the evening: guided meditation with volcanic rocks

After pool time, you move into the Temazcal. The experience includes a guided meditation session lasting about 20 to 25 minutes. The description emphasizes connecting with Mayan roots, relaxing in the heat of volcanic rocks, and breathing herbal aromas released by the vapor.

What this means for you in practical terms:

• You should plan to feel warmer afterward, even if the session is short.
• You may want to pace your day so you’re not exhausted before the ritual part.
• If you’re sensitive to heat or strong aromas, take that seriously. The Temazcal is intentionally warm and aromatic.

I like that they include this as a formal part of the schedule, because it prevents the day from becoming just pool-and-drink. It gives the trip meaning beyond the photos.

Photo moments and staff names worth knowing

If you care about images, this is the kind of place where you won’t feel like you’re guessing. Reviews mention staff taking photos and even a fun video during the food presentation moment. If you want that, ask early so you’re not scrambling after breakfast.

Specific staff names show up often:

• Miguel is mentioned for being especially kind and for touring the property
• Gabby is repeatedly praised for massages
• Eduardo, Jorge, and Iramar are referenced in connection with the photo experience

Even if you don’t remember names, you can use a simple script when you arrive: ask who’s best at photos, and ask who can show you the best photo spots before the light shifts.

Optional massages: the Gabby factor

This isn’t listed as an included feature, but massages are clearly offered on site and show up across feedback. Gabby gets named multiple times, including people saying they booked a massage and were glad they did.

If you want to make the day feel like a full reset, this is the most logical add-on. Your best bet is to inquire during your visit once you know your schedule and how you feel after the Temazcal.

Cenotes and local recommendations: what to do after breakfast

The Yellow Nest is built around the cenote ecosystem. You’ll get some context about the sacred waters of the cenotes that surround us, and the team provides recommendations (called tak bi ha).

This is useful because Tulum cenotes can be overwhelming. Instead of hopping on a tour bus somewhere, you get local guidance tailored to the area around Dos Ojos. If you’re planning to continue your day after The Yellow Nest, take those recommendations seriously and then choose just one or two next stops, not five.

Who should book this, and who should think twice

This day pass suits you if:

• You want a quiet, romantic, relaxing break with a strong food-and-ritual combo
• You like photo-worthy experiences but also want actual downtime
• You’re okay with jungle realities like humidity and insects
• You can do a warm Temazcal-style session

It might not fit you if:

• You want air-conditioned comfort all day (some open-air areas are part of the vibe)
• You care most about a fully varied menu beyond the set breakfast (the food is generally praised, but a couple of reviews mention it wasn’t their preference)
• You expect everything to run like a city tour with guaranteed quick fixes if something goes wrong

One more note: children under 14 are not accepted, and it’s described as private to your group. Service animals are allowed.

Tips that make the day smoother (and more comfortable)

These are the practical things I’d do if you want your experience to feel effortless:

• Bring mosquito repellent. Even with citronella help mentioned in feedback, don’t rely on it alone.
• Pack a light layer for after Temazcal, especially if you cool down slowly.
• Wear water-friendly footwear if you’re the kind of person who likes to explore around pools and walkways.
• Bring and show your official ID at arrival.
• If you have food preferences, communicate them clearly before breakfast is served.

A small “expectation management” tip: this is a place where you disconnect. Some feedback notes there’s Wi‑Fi, but the point of coming here is still the slow pace. If you try to multitask all day, you’ll miss the reason it works.

Should you book The Yellow Nest floating breakfast near Dos Ojos?

If your goal is a calm Tulum day with a signature experience, I’d book it. The average rating is 4.7 with 91% recommending, and the most consistently praised pieces are the floating breakfast presentation, the relaxing grounds, and the Temazcal add-on.

Choose it if you’re the type who enjoys:

• a set schedule that takes decisions off your plate
• pool time that actually lasts
• food that’s more than an afterthought
• staff who help with photos and keep things moving

Skip it or think hard if:

• you dislike heat and insects
• you’re only interested in breakfast and don’t want a full day to hang out
• you strongly need your transportation handled for you (private transportation is not included)

If you want one clear strategy: book this when you can give it the time it deserves—arrive ready to linger, then let breakfast and the Temazcal do the rest.
