Tulum thoughts

Thoughts from 3 females traveling to Tulum.

Transportation: We got a driver for the week. After going out and about this was a GREAT choice. I would never have lasted in my little dress on a scooter or managed the tight roads in central Tulum driving. I am offended people recommended a scooter or car prior… but i get it for some, i guess. We used serendipity car service and they were stellar.

Dining out: Best place from best to worst (all personal opinion) - Hartwood, Wild, Casa Banana, then Arca. I had friends with me who were celiac and they liked Arca the best, if that matters to anyone. The dessert was the best at casa banana. Make reservations in advance.

Don’t bring heels or shoes you love, they will get muddy. Don’t wear something long like a dress, it will get muddy. If it rains, LOL it floods.

We originally stayed at the Hilton all inclusive and left 5 days early to move closer to town. Too many children, the food was disgusting, and the line to make reservations was a 30+ min wait daily and what was left was a 10pm reservation at an Italian place. They were also really tough with dietary restrictions from a fish allergy to gluten. Honestly, rude about it. We checked out after one night there and ran for the hills. Ended up at hotel Muaré, beautiful gem of a hotel and 20 minutes from the beach. Highly recommend but it’s a smaller place and very intimate. Next time I am staying on the beach.
