Floating breakfast in The Yellow Nest (near Dos Ojos cenote)

The main event is breakfast served on a floating tray in a jungle pool, with chilaquiles, eggs, beans, fruit, and coffee or tea. The Yellow Nest is near Dos Ojos cenote, so the setting feels far removed from Tulum’s busier streets.

I like two things here: the breakfast is both a meal and a memorable photo moment, and the day pass gives you time to stay for the pools and a guided Temazcal meditation rather than rushing off after eating.

One point to plan around: transport is not included, and the advertised six-hour duration sits alongside access hours of 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Confirm your exact schedule, especially because the meditation is described as an evening activity.

Breakfast in the jungle, not just breakfast by the pool

The Yellow Nest sells a leisurely day in the jungle, with a floating breakfast as its centerpiece. Your meal is arranged on a decorated tray in the pool, making it easy to enjoy the unusual presentation without turning breakfast into a rushed photo stop.

The included meal is substantial enough to count as breakfast: two eggs cooked to your preference, house chilaquiles, beans, bagel bread with seasonal fruit, and coffee of the day. A refreshing drink is listed with the tray, and you also receive one welcome drink on arrival. Tea is offered as an alternative to coffee.

The chilaquiles give the meal a regional touch, while the floating setup brings a little ceremony to a familiar plate. Food is a strong part of the appeal, but it is not a guaranteed hit for every palate. Some people love it; others have found the food disappointing or had an order prepared incorrectly. If you have a dietary restriction or a specific egg order, state it clearly and confirm it with staff when you arrive.

A mini birthday cake with a sparkling candle may be provided if you verify that it is your birthday. Treat that as a small celebratory extra, not the main reason to book.

The Yellow Nest’s pools and photo-friendly corners

After breakfast, you can use the property’s common areas during the day-pass hours. The main draw is the chance to linger by the pools and enjoy the jungle setting at your own pace. The grounds are designed with photo spots, and staff have helped some people take pictures, so solo visitors need not assume they will have to manage every shot alone.

There are reports of both chlorine and cenote-water pools on the property. That variety is appealing, but the package description does not promise a specific pool or explain which facilities are available on a given day. Ask if a particular pool matters to you.

The property is not a packed activity schedule. The day is better suited to lounging, taking photos, and slowing down than to a sequence of guided excursions. One account of the experience specifically noted that there was little to do beyond relaxing by the pool without paying extra. That is useful to know: the value depends on whether you want a peaceful base for several hours, not on how many included activities you can tick off.

Massages are an optional extra, not part of the stated price. If you want one, ask about availability and cost before you arrive. Massage therapist Gabby is mentioned by name in connection with highly praised treatments, but no massage is included with the breakfast package.

Temazcal meditation and the timing question

The guided meditation takes place in a Temazcal and lasts about 20 to 25 minutes. The experience is described as a way to connect with Mayan roots through the heat of volcanic rocks and the scent of herbs in the steam. For many people, this is the most meaningful counterpoint to the breakfast and pool time: a short, structured pause rather than another photo opportunity.

There is a scheduling detail worth sorting out. The Temazcal is described as happening in the evening, while the listed common-area hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. The overall experience is also described as roughly six hours. Those details do not establish exactly when your session takes place, so ask the operator to confirm your start time and meditation time before making plans around it.

The meditation is included, but do not assume that every amenity sometimes associated with the property is part of this specific package. A sauna is mentioned in connection with the experience, but the inclusions list names the Temazcal meditation, breakfast, common-area access, and welcome drink. Confirm access to any additional facility directly.

Getting to a property near Dos Ojos

The meeting point is The Yellow Nest on Carretera Federal Cancun Tulum Km 124, at Parque Dos Ojos, near Jacinto Pat. The activity ends back at the same meeting point. If you need it, the description says the team can pick you up at the entrance to Cenote 2 Eyes on the road.

That is not the same as having private transport included. The price excludes private transportation, and the pickup is offered only if required. If you are not driving, arrange the journey in advance and confirm the exact pickup point, timing, and cost. The route and property are in a jungle setting, and the road can be difficult to navigate, so leave room for delays rather than arriving at the last minute.

You can also ask about transport to nearby cenotes. Tak Bi Ha is given as a recommendation, and additional transportation is available, but it is not part of the package as described. If you want to pair the day pass with a cenote visit, settle the transport details before you go.

What $88.82 buys you

At $88.82 per person, this is not simply a breakfast reservation. The price includes the floating gourmet breakfast, one welcome drink, the Temazcal meditation, and access to common areas from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Group discounts are listed, and the activity is private, meaning only your own group participates.

The value is strongest if you plan to spend several hours at the property. You are paying for the setting and the time to use it, as well as the meal. If you arrive late and stay only a short while, the day-pass portion has less value, and the price may feel steep for breakfast alone.

The package does not include a villa or Nido stay, private transport, or a massage. Other food and drinks beyond the included items are not specified, so check what costs extra before ordering. The advertised price is per person, and the operator lists group discounts, but the discount terms are not provided.

The experience is booked about 28 days in advance on average. That is a useful signal to reserve early if you have a fixed date, especially for a celebration, though it does not guarantee that every date requires that much notice.

Who will enjoy this day pass

I would consider this a good fit for couples, friends celebrating a special occasion, or solo visitors who want a calm day with a distinctive breakfast. The private-group format can make a birthday or bridal-party outing feel personal without requiring an overnight stay. The photo-friendly tray, pool time, and welcome drink make it easy to mark an occasion.

It also works for someone travelling alone. Staff have helped solo visitors with photos and checked in with refreshments, and a private booking means you are not joining a mixed tour group. If you are looking for a quiet retreat but still want Wi-Fi, that has been noted as available.

It is less suitable if your priority is a full day of varied, included excursions, a low-cost meal, or seamless transport. The experience is built around resting at the property. Mosquitoes can be an issue in the rainforest, so bring suitable repellent; citronella lotion has been available on site, but do not rely on it as your only protection.

Children under 14 are not accepted under the property’s stated policy. Service animals are allowed, and the activity notes that most people can participate. Official identification is requested on arrival.

Small details that make the visit smoother

Arrive with enough time to settle in, confirm your food order, and ask how the day is laid out. The schedule matters because the listed visit window, approximate duration, and evening Temazcal description do not fully spell out the sequence.

If you want a massage, a cocktail beyond the welcome drink, or transport to a cenote, ask about availability and extra charges in advance. Those additions can change the cost of the day. The enclosed cave has also been recommended as a sight on the property, but access is not listed as a guaranteed feature of the package, so check with staff.

The activity is listed for Monday through Thursday, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Confirm that your chosen date and the planned session times match those hours. You receive confirmation at booking, and the experience depends on good weather. If poor weather forces cancellation, you can be offered a new date or a full refund. You can cancel at least 24 hours before the start for a full refund; cancellations or changes inside that window are not accepted for a refund.

Should you book it?

Book The Yellow Nest if you want a slow, photo-friendly morning that can stretch into a poolside day, and if the floating breakfast and Temazcal meditation appeal more than a packed itinerary. The meal, setting, and attentive service are the strongest reasons to go. Bring repellent, arrange your own transport, and confirm the meditation time and any extras.

Skip it if you want a quick breakfast, a broad slate of included activities, or a package with transport and a massage built in. At $88.82, it makes the most sense when you use the day pass for several hours.
