Stay in a palapa/bungalow on the beach…sans electricity. At night, the lack of lights affords a broad, beautiful starry sky, with the sounds of the sea waves lapping ashore just feet away. I went there in October, spent less than $20/night and was less than 30 seconds from the water. My friend and I more or less enjoyed a private beach with water so clear you can see the fish you are swimming with and the striking ruins of Tulum are just down the beach. I often think back to my time there, closing my eyes to see that magical night sky.
p.s. Do not forget your beloved insect repellent!! (Not that you would anywhere in Central America…)
