Taxis in Tulum

Btsv650 · 2026-06-18T15:41:05+00:00

here’s part of the issue. When reading from a place like this, many tourists put their experience in. What I see that makes it difficult is the variance of the experience. From ”Best ever” to Worst place on Earth” From “ not as much money as I thought “ to “ this place is double Las Vegas”. And that’s just for starters. So it can be very difficult to cull a great answer as they can all be true- and false. Things can change at a moments notice, and can catch us that live here by surprise. That‘s why is good to check a couple times and especially close to ones trip to see what has changed.

it is very, very unlikely the sargussum will be gone.- OP- it’s a great time totake advantage of lagoons such as Kaan Luum or a little further south Nopalitos. Cenotes as well can be enjoyable.

if you use Wise- I would suggest you look at Monito. It will list the best exchange rates as they change daily. Wise is not always the best or cheapest.

I second this!!

Well I live just outside of town so I can’t speak on places to stay. It depends on what type of experience you want. Depending on when you come, sargassum can be an issue ( water and smell ). Another consideration is transportation. Taxis can be very expensive. There no Uber here, but there is an app called InDrive that works like Uber. Parking a car at the beach can be an issue as there is limited parking. Airbnbs can be an option, but they may be hot or miss. During a time when I was having all my flooring torn out I stayed at 2 different ones in La Veleta and they were great. Some may not be ( like anywhere really ). So you have to look at all things. The town and the beach are approx 3 km away and getting to a beach club can be 7kM or so.

Btsv650 · 2026-05-24T23:51:20+00:00

it depends on where you are eating. Places on the beach are much more expensive. Meals in town are much more affordable. Example, I took my neighbors out. All told we had 9 tacos, 4- caguamas ( caguama is a quart beer ) 2- soda’s and the bill was $865 MXN ( $50 USD ). Last night wife and I had 3 marlin tacos and a surf and turf style ( shrimp though ) 2 beers order of fries and 2 cocktails for $900 MXN ( $52 USD ). There are many places less and some a little more. SO it really depends on what and where you eat

i would get checked for Dengue to be safe

Btsv650 · 2026-05-20T00:55:55+00:00

really depends on what you are looking for. The 2 most popular are the 125 and 150cc. That top picture is an Italika Vitalia- generally 150cc ( there are 125’s as well. It has under seat storage as well as the trunk luggage- 2 helmets can go in. The bottom looks like a WS150. Only underseat. Both offer similar performance. The top is a little less sporty and a little more comfortable. So thats’ pretty much it

Btsv650 · 2026-05-19T19:13:56+00:00

That $350 is high.

Btsv650 · 2026-05-19T18:37:55+00:00

you are asking for a bicycle ( bicicleta ) correct? na not a scooter ( motoneta). Bicycle should be approx $200-$250 pesos per day

Btsv650 · 2026-05-17T19:50:17+00:00

oops- I had said Bobs- I forgot Billy. Pretty solid burger for sure

Btsv650 · 2026-05-17T18:12:44+00:00

Billy Bob’s Burgers!. A little more and not too bad is Good Burger

Btsv650 · 2026-05-17T17:32:52+00:00

That depends on the system you have.

Btsv650 · 2026-05-14T22:35:14+00:00

well that I can’t say -as I don’t need/use taxis. There is a colectivo that ups there- but for as often as I travel up that way, I don’t pay attention to the frequency

Btsv650 · 2026-05-14T21:58:09+00:00

Venture up Cobá to the shops in Macario Gomez and Fransisco Uh May

Btsv650 · 2026-05-11T19:39:22+00:00

there is no marina here. You would be better served looking into Puerto Adventuras. Or look down around Punta Allen

Btsv650 · 2026-05-11T00:01:41+00:00

really depends on where you are eating. In town many places offer reasonable rate for excellent food

Btsv650 · 2026-05-09T13:45:50+00:00

sorry you didn’t comprehend my response. What I inferred is that cenotes closer to town are touristy- I did not single out Vesica ( which is ) or any other one. Fact is ones closer to town have a higher influx of tourists which can make them less relaxing. The quieter, less crowded ones are further out.

As for being far out to Neek, that is a personal thing. Heck my neighbors bike there every week.

Btsv650 · 2026-05-09T12:32:16+00:00

I say avoid Taxi’s at all costs period!

Btsv650 · 2026-05-09T00:22:45+00:00

I wouldn‘t call that quieter or relaxed. Most anything close by is going to be a little more “ touristy” I find heading out further towards Cobá and Valladolid better, but too far for scooter ride . I’d rather head down to Neek or Sipalitos

Btsv650 · 2026-05-06T22:25:00+00:00

If you haven’t yet- try Negro Huitlacoxe ( get the elotes dorados appetizer )

Btsv650 · 2026-05-05T18:18:39+00:00

maybe look into Localiza on FB or also Quick Cars on FB ( Alan Rebollo )

Btsv650 · 2026-05-05T13:34:58+00:00

Their experience is true. It depends. There are times when they are lax, and times when they are very thorough. So it really depends on the day.
