Tulum Travel Forum

Hi,
We will be arriving to Cancun airport late at night 22.00 and we would like to go directly to Tulum, I guess there are no more buses on that hour so I am looking for some reliable not expensive company providing some kind of shuttle service or car service to Tulum at that hour, also how much doe's the airport taxi charge?
Thanks

I am planning to rent a car to drive from Cancun Airport to Tulum. I have a $82/week quote for an economy car from Herts. I have not driven in that part of Mexico and I would like to know how is the driving between Cancun and Tulum? How long does it take? Are he rental cars reliable? Do I need insurance? I am staying at Cabanas La Luna in Tulum and I would like to know how are the beaches? is the water clear? I heard that in cancun there is lots of weeds?

Gracias

Thanks

We are leaving Tulum by bus to go to Palenque. Does anyone know the distance, which bus to catch, pricing, when to leave, etc?
Thanks!

Looking for a bakery that makes "AMAZING" cakes. Any suggestions?

I am planning to stay at the Eurostars Blue Tulum Resort and am not sure how much it will cost to get there from the airport. Does anyone have any idea of what kind of transportation options are available. Also any input on this resort would be very much appreciated!

We are looking at a trip to Tulum some time in March 2008 with our two children ages 6 and 18months We've not done much traveling as a family and we'd like some advise about where to stay on the beach. Are there any places available with kitchens that aren't too expensive? If not in Tulum are there other places in the region that you'd recommend? Thanks!

Hi There,

I am spending 10 days in Tulum from 18 November then travelling onto Miami for 3 days shopping before heading back to the UK.

Please can you advise me on what I will need to pack for Tulum, aside from loads of books and my ipod?

Thank you.

Does anyone have photos or video of a party at the Hotel Mezzanine in Tulum on or about March 30 or March 31st, 2007. Also, any other parties in the area that night. Thanks!

We are traveling to PDC on October 31- Nov. 3rd. We would really like to go to a beach party in Tulum at Mezzanine. Does anyone know if they post a schedule or if they have a party going on during this time period? Any info. would be great!

I am finalzing my trip details and would love some opinions. I am planning a trip with my boyfriend for the 1st week in December to Tulum and possibly Majahual . I am thinking of staying at Ana Y Joses or Cabanas la Conchita if it is available. I've read that some of the stretches of beach are nicer than others in the Tulum area(such as Las Ranitas and Paraiso area). How does Ana Y Joses or la Conchita compare? Is there really much of a noticeable difference?
What are the best ocean snorkelling options in Tulum area?
Is there a snorkelling tour company one would recommend?
Is there an area right from the beach you can get good snorkelling?

Also, I was thinking of doing about 3 nights at Mayan Beach Gardens around Majahual. Is this area worth a visit? I've read the beaches are not as great as Tulum, but the snorkelling off the beach is great. I would like to visit the Sian Biosphere and possibly lake Bacalar. I know it will be a long drive back to the airport in Cancun, so I'm deciding if I should add this area to my trip.

Thanks

just wondering if there are any hotels very close to the ruins or not? any info would be great! thanks

My three children and I are vacationing in Akumal next week. I plan on getting us to Tulum but hadn't wanted to mess with renting a car. What options are there besides the resort packages that would safely get my kids and me back and forth?

My husband and I are traveling to Tulum on April 18th through the 24th of this year..It is our 2yr. wedding anniversary, and we are soooo excited..We are staying at Dreams Tulum resort, has anyone stayed there recently?

Can anyone comment on these services? They seem least expensive. -John

Does anyone know if they go all the way to the beach? Or will just drop us off in town? -John

I got some carzy cheap auto rental rates from Travel-Center.com like $20/day and $100 /week. I am sure these are not top-of-the-line vehicles, and that is ok as long as they continue to run. Can anyone comment? -John

great review! my question is...does the bar/club at mezzanine play electronic/house music during the day?...

Any suggestions re accommodation in Tulum
Should I book b4 we get there or just look around when I arrive and find something then?
We want to stay on the beach in the hotel zone - double shared private bathroom - $30-$50-60US per night
hope this helps

Hi Quintana Roo travelers!

We are voyaging to the east coast of Mexico for Christmas for the first time (we usually always go Zihua/Pacific coast)

I have been watcching the weather the past few days and all I see is RAIN RAIN RAIN. It's at 65-85% chance with thunderstroms the whole Xmas week. I am talking ten whole days!

Does anyone have experience with this over Christmas? Are we looking at being rained out the whole time? What's going on and why did I not know this before I booked this expensive trip? Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi!
I have done research on many places to stay in Tulum but am so overwhelmed with all the choices. I am travelling with my boyfriend in November over the American thankgivng holiday around Nov18 for a week. I am looking to find a place that is not too rustic. My priorities are: 1.great beach 2. if possible great snorkeling from our hotel 3.restaurant choices.
This is our first trip together and want a place that will be easy, peaceful and comfortable. Dont want to deal with too many hassles. I would consider an all-inclusive if it was alright as well, but I'm afraid they will be very crowded. We plan on mostly beach time, checking out the cenotes, snorkeling, and possibly some hiking. Our price range is flexible. possibly $100 a night or would pay more or less if place was great.
Thanks

I have just booked a very last-minute trip to Tulum, leaving on Thursday. Can anyone tell me whether any excursions are available from there, particularly to Chichin Itza and Uxmal?

Also, do mosquitoes pose much of a problem?

Thanks in advance!
