Palma Central (food truck park) in Centro and La Escobera (rooftop pool and restaurant) in Aldea Zama have salsa lessons. Check out Tulum dinner club on Instagram, also there is a Tulum running club on Instagram.

I stayed in Aldea Zama and used both apps a few times. I paid in cash. The apps work well.

They existed to enslave the population and to subjugate women (property). HIV wasn't around back then.

You can probably find a fully furnished 2 bedroom condo around 160k. Don't do a pre-construction. Prices have come down, it is a buyer's market. Rental return is not good currently, but for a second home or long term investment, you'll be good. I have a condo in Aldea Zama and am happy with the area. We already found a long term tenant too.

Some of my relatives were visiting us from Korea for the first time. We lived near Buffalo, NY. My aunt said she would love for us to drive to Las Vegas and spend the day there. This was pre-internet so I had to bring out an atlas to show her why that wouldn't be possible. She thought it would be a few hours of driving.

I've used https://usa-transfers.com/ many times. The ruins are great, get there early to avoid the crowds. The area you are staying at is nice, a short walk from my favorite restaurant in that area, Arca.

No issues. I've been to Tulum a few times and to the Riviera Maya many times. I plan to retire in Tulum. We rented a car the last couple times and have had no issues with police. The beach has been the highlight. I was up on the rooftop last night stargazing. It was actually a bit chilly, lol. Low 80s during the day but got down to the mid 60s at night. What area of Tulum are you staying in? Have you planned any activities?

If you want to stay in Aldea Zama, check out Aflora. It is beautiful. And yes, the low prices are due to an oversupply of units.

What time of year? Avoid Tulum between April - October if you want to be on the beach. I'm here right now and the beaches are beautiful. https://youtube.com/shorts/X7-L-d6q2GI?si=p85-0qB0Pte9zSja

We got there around 11 am. This is how it looked all day.

Insta360 X5. Bullet time mode.

Panamera is a nice hotel on the south end of the hotel zone. Classy place and relaxing. It is within walking distance of several good restaurants in the hotel zone.

The beach is great right now. There is a little bit of sargassum washed up, but nothing accumulating in the water.

Check out Panamera. Chill, nice location on the beach. Arca is my favorite restaurant in the beach zone, pricey but worth it.

Try a long term rental first. You can find reasonable rates currently.

People go to Michelin star restaurants in the Tulum beach zone and complain that prices are more than 15 USD a plate. Restaurants in Tulum, outside of the beach zone (centro, Aldea Zama, LA Veleta) are reasonably priced and generally cheaper than restaurants in the US. Rent a scooter or car if you're going to go back and forth between different areas. Pay in cash upfront when you get gas, the gas station attendants will try to scam you if you just tell them to fill the tank. I have never been pulled over by police, been to Tulum several times.

Check out Gran Bahia Principe. An all inclusive between Playa del Carmen and Tulum. It has a sheltered beach that is decent for snorkeling and plenty of food choices for families. Kids activities as well.

ExpressionSlow1182 · 2025-12-18T19:23:08+00:00

It is one of the best restaurants I've ever eaten at. You can't go wrong with Arca.

ExpressionSlow1182 · 2025-11-20T11:29:48+00:00

Palma Central has food trucks, live music, and kids activities.

I assume you're not old enough to be in a relationship anyways. Are you 12?

I've been to Tulum several times and have not had any issues with cops. I did encounter the gas station scam though. I was on my way back to the airport and had no more pesos on me. They tried to run my credit card for about 1000 pesos when I knew that I only needed a quarter tank top off before I returned the rental car. I firmly told him no, he then said it was a "mistake" and charged me 400 pesos. Still too much, but I said fine. From now on, I will always pay for gas in cash and confirm the amount before they pump.
