Hi guys and welcome back to my blog! I have created the ultimate Tulum travel guide for you all including what to expect, where to stay, places visited, tour guide info, what I wore, and most importantly places to eat! If you are in need of some inspiration and tips for your next vacation then please keep on reading!
Dear Tulum,
I am so grateful to have experienced your relaxing beaches, amazing food, and rich Mayan culture. Being surrounded by friends and family, on the beach, was the ultimate way to celebrate my 29th birthday! However, this trip was more than just a vacation getaway for me. This trip was taken in honor of my Poppi, who passed in 2018. Above all, his immense love of travel and Mexican roots inspired this adventure making it the perfect place to explore and connect on a deeper level.
Tulum Travel Guide: WHAT TO EXPECT?
Best Time to Travel:
Peek season to travel to Mexico is end of December to April. It is the dry season with virtually no rain. We traveled in mid November flying with Delta Airlines, round trip nonstop $450, directly into the Cancun airport.
How to Get Around:
Upon landing we collected our baggage and found a taxi. Taxi services are flooding the airport awaiting to help get you to your final destination. Car rentals and buses are alternative options. I would recommend renting a car as it would help save money and eliminate bike rentals and taxis later on. My best advice if you are using taxis as your mode of transportation is to verbally confirm pricing before getting in to be safe!
Climate:
Weather was amazing with temperatures averaging around a high of 80 °F (30°C) and minimal rain.
Language:
Spanish is the main language spoken by locals however, many people working in tourism can speak English. With that being said, I did my best to pull out my high school Spanish 1 speaking skills, which wasn’t good at all, but luckily I had my two primas with me to help with any language barriers.
Currency:
The Mexican Peso is the local currency. I would advise you to take out some pesos before going to avoid using local ATMs. Many spots take visa but, not many take AMEX, I learned that the hard way. Side note, remember to alert your bank that you are leaving the country, unlike myself.
Where to Stay:
We stayed at the beautiful Villa Pescadores hotel and beach club. It was important for the group to be in a relaxing part of town located directly on the beach to minimize transportation as much as possible. Choosing this place was based off a family members recommendation from a previous stay and it was absolutely perfect!
It was a magical and relaxing paradise with spectacular food, drinks, views, and sincere hospitality. Total cost for five nights and six days was $2600, split by five guests, equaling out to $520 individually.
