I was in cancun last summer, went to Chichen Itza not Tulum but should be awesome.
One thing we did on the way was go to a cenote. Was really cool. Dont forget swimming shorts if you go. |

We went a number of years ago. The highlights of what we did was snorkeling with turtles (we saw dozens of them), swimming in a cenote (as previously said) and Tulum ruins (very cool if you like that kind of thing).

I have been twice and stayed at Coco Tulum in a beachfront cabana both times. The best meal was at Hartwood which was featured in the NYT and was outstanding on both visits. A 45 minute drive will take you to Caba, a large complex of pyramids, game structures and larger ancient community than Tulum. Overall, I imagine that the hipsters have overrun it by now but should be fun anyway. PM me and I will share more.

Bring a lot of mosquito spray unless you want to get eaten alive

Definitely try to hit Xelha for the day
Tulum ruins are cool, but you roast outside. Still worth it for a half day trip. I just went there this past Feb

Le Zebra was a great hotel and had fantastic food. Ahau is another good lodging/food option (though no pool like Zebra). There's lots of good food options on the main drag, all within walking distance of those two hotels.
Skip renting a Jeep unless you're going to to the nature reserve south of main "beach area" Tulum or a self-guided Cenote. Taxis are everywhere and plentiful and cheap once in Tulum, but reserve a private shuttle van from Cancun airport then as there are lots of not-nice areas between Cancun and the "resort area" of Tulum, which IS already overrun with shoeless hipsters and potheads! The beaches, food, reserves, snorkeling and dancing make it at least a go-to once! |

Swimming/snorkeling in the cenote is a must.

Tulum is cool mainly because it's the only Mayan ruin by the sea. Chitchen is fancier. |

This. I have a 10 yr old box of Imodium that is unopened, but has been carried on 3 Mexico trips.

Tap Water? I was told to order the clean water. They call it "Modelo Negro."
