Tulum is an interesting area of the Yucatan with lots of variety to offer. Currently it is reached by flying
into Cancun and taking ground transportation - about a 90 minute drive from the airport. A new airport
will be opening in a few years allowing flights to arrive close to Tulum.
While Tulum has been experiencing much growth the last few years, it has retained its charm. New
construction has kept with the tradition of eco-friendly cabanas on the beach, with tranquil settings.
Tulum is a great place to get away and unwind. The beaches are wide, with good surf to play in, yet
still calm enough on most days for swimming.
The pueblo of Tulum has been growing and adding more shopping and dining choices, and a new bus
station. It is easy to get to Tulum from anywhere else in the Yucatan. You can rent a car, take a
private transfer, or use the public bus system. Taxis are plentiful to get from the pueblo to the beach
cabanas down the Boca Pailla Road..
No matter which property you choose for your stay in Tulum, it is easy to walk to a few surrounding
properties for extra dining options. Or you can take a taxi to the further properties or to the pueblo.
There are many good restaurants to choose from, with predominently seafood, Mexican and Italian
cuisines.
The famous ruins at Tulum are a must-see for anyone visiting the area. While not the largest ruins in
the area, they are the only ones with a seaside cliff setting, which has spectacular views. Tulum also
makes a good base-camp for those wanting to visit many different ruins. Besides the Tulum ruins it is
also easy to get to the Coba ruins, Ek Balam, and Chichen Itza from Tulum.
There are opportunities for eco-adventure, including the Sian Kaan Biosphere (an ecological preserve)
and many cenotes. You can snorkel the cenotes, go kayaking, zip-lining, hiking, diving and more. Or if
you choose, laze away your days in a hammock, or sunning on the beach. You can do as much or as
little as you like in Tulum.
The Mayan culture and its influences are strong here. At some properties you can experience Mayan
healing massage or a temazcal (Mayan steam bath). Mayan weddings or vow renewals are also
available.
