Why I recommend this place to visitors

This is the most modern Mayan ruin, but it’s amazing because it overlooks the beautiful blue ocean. Tulum is a spectacular site, and swimming in the ocean next to the temple is an awesome eperience

A tip I have about this place

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…)

A review of this place: Kite surfing @ La Vita e Bella

Don’t be fooled by the Italian name of the accomodations, as most of the staff seemd to be French. However, the French style (read: friendly when convenient for them) service was compensated by the good pizza’s and good wind for kite surfing!

A tip I have about this place

We were there last year and of course they all insisted we buy mosquito repellent…I never saw 1 mosquito…

Get there early

...and you’ll have the place to yourself. After 9am the hordes of tourists arrive and muck up the whole place.
