Colorful, fun and trendy food trucks of all cuisines, opens after 5:00PM. Beautiful place to be but food just OK in our opinion. If you are with a large group, it's a good place as everyone can find their food and gather at the wooden tables. Fun place to take pictures!

This Taco place is just a street cart - the owner works Mon-Sat from 7:00PM till late night, there is always a line in front of it. Rated 4.9 on google. It's our favorite, costs about 1 USD/taco and we always want to go back for more!

Highest rated restaurant in Aldea Zama! A few minutes walk from home. Seafood only, the ceviche dishes are huge and amazing! It's my personal favorite and go-to place.

Beautiful Maya ruins, must see! 15 minutes drive from home. Note: not worth the extra $ for the tour they will sell you. Buying a regular ticket works fine!

21 minutes drive from home. Cave with beautiful colorful underground water. Bring swimsuits, you will get a snorkel and life jackets there. There are many other Cenotes nearby, this is just one of them that we went to. https://goo.gl/maps/SLbYotzRu8JjHjrM8

You will find lots of turtles here hanging out on the outside rocks, and there are some bats hanging inside of the cave, look very creepy but we don't normally get to see these 2 creatures up this close, ever.

It's really spectacular. Skip the vendors who try to sell you special access and skip the line service; you will spend $ for not much at all. make sure to go to the Il-Kil cenote nearby, 7 min away.

One of the MOST beautiful cenotes in our opinion, it's 7 mins drive from Chichen Itza, must see if you are in Yucatan!

This is a restaurant, hotel/resort, and quite beautiful place to be. Near the Azulik museum, you can stop by for lunch if you are going to visit the museum, Mayan food, so don't expect ceviche here. What we loved about it: ask for going to see the jaguars! 200 pesos/person but well worth it - you might never have another opportunity to see Jaguars that up close again. There are 2 jaguars, one golden dots one black, we could see them a few inches distance, they are absolutely gorgeous! also monkeys, pumas, other wild cats. The garden is quite beautiful, too.

Amazing art in so many areas: architecture, design, macrame, nature, ceramics... built by artist and local tree material, the art scene is spectacular. The whole project was led by argentinian artist and over 100 tulum artists.

A small grocery store a few minutes walk from home; there are basic supplies for pretty much everything: water, milk, fruits, veggies and a grilled chicken/veggie/meat counter at the back. The grilled chicken and smoked ribs from the cooked food counter are amazing!

旅行者へのアドバイス

交通アクセス

Rent A Car, Motobike or ATV

Tulum is fairly spread out; having a car with good air conditioning in Tulum is going to make your life easier. There are so many cenotes, villages, cities nearby that you can access easier by a car. If you are planning to only visit the beaches or Tulum town, moto bike or ATV could do too! We also listed 2 bike rentals here in case you want to bike around town.
出発前に予約しよう

Make Restaurant reservation online

Many trendy restaurants near the beach require reservations; they are often full but depend on the season. Opentable works here quite beautifully!
節約術

Skip the special offers at the attraction sites

In most of the attraction sites, there will be locals come to you and try to sell you additional services to "skip the line", inside scoop and tour guide services. In our opinion, these are not necessary nor worth it, you'll not save much time but spending some money for sure. an exception is the paid parking space - if you can pay a little to park a bit closer, that's totally worth it! (unless you don't mind walking)
必要な持ち物

How to deal with mosquitos

During the rainy season roughly June to end of October, it's also the mosquito season in Tulum. The insects and mosquitos are quite prevalent here. We have sprays and incense in suite for you to deal with the mosquitos, but we also strongly recommend getting the OFF brand LOTION (it's like a toothpaste tube and the lotion is clear color) and sprays and carry them with you wherever you go. You can find them in the supermarket Chedraui on Coba road. Most of the restaurants in Tulum are outdoor seating, don't let the mosquitos ruin your lovely time :)
