Photos from Tulum
Below are some photos from our recent trip to Tulum. We rode our bikes a couple of times and stopped a lot to take photos. I also took some photos from our room overlooking the sea.
View of sunrise, this is what I saw from bed.
More sunrise, this is what I saw when I went out on the beach to see the sunrise.
We road our bikes into the Sian Ka’an Bio-reserve and we saw this cenote (near the arch).
Another pic from the Sian Ka’an Cenote near the arch.
We took this pic when we went for a ride north of our hotel toward the ruins. Much of Tulum looks like this to me.
I was going to make disparaging remarks about our hotel. But then the hotel emailed me asking for my opinion and I let them have it directly. So in all fairness I will give them a chance to fix things rather than tell you all about how dirty it was and about how the maintenance was lacking and how the bed sagged and forced us to sleep on top of eachother and how the plumbing fell apart while I was taking a shower and sprayed water all over the floor. I’ll decline from saying those things. For now. Grin.

Great pics Rivergirl, thanks for sharing! Sorry to hear about the hotel, but it looks like you found some beauty out there anyway.

Tulum is beautiful. And the hotel is well-located. It’s just too bad that the hotel didn’t have better maintenance.

Hi there, wonderful article and even though the hotel was not so great, could you please let me know where this hotel is and the name of it? I am willing to put up with lack of maintainance for exchange of this view.

I will tell you that I stayed at one the Eco-Tulum hotels. But there are a number of small hotels along the beach in Tulum, all of them have great views. I recommend checking TripAdvisor reviews, you’ll find a good hotel there.

I went to Tulum in Aug ’08 and it was the most wonderful trip. We stayed 2 nghts in the local hostile which was right on the road leading to the beach area. The hostil was concrete floor/wall with metal bunk beds but we were given clean sheets and our room had a window air conditioning unit but was nice a cool thru the night on a hot August night. The last night in Tulum we stayed at the Playa Azul on the beach. It had a natural aircondition, salt water breeze from the ocean. It was the most spectacular view and place. Only a mile up from the Sian Ka’an Reserve and completely tropical with glistening white beaches. The hostil was $7/nt and we were served a mess hall type breakfast each morning. At the tropical palace on the beach a little tiny beach lizard chewed thru the top of my peanut can and helped himself. We only planned for 3 nts in Tulum and I wish we would have planned more. It is the most amazing place and I can’t wait to get back there. I hope it doesn’t change too much until I do.
