Location
& getting there
like 2 hours south of Cancun Airport, depending of the trafic which is always bad when crossing Playa del Carmen and its 200 speed bums : (
Ambience
Wait a second, what do you mean? the little hotel zone by the beach? Very hippie and relax, easy going, you will love it but do not expect lots of comfort. If you mean the town it is just ok. no beach, lots of shops, but nothing that important. hotels are not expensive and nice.
Ideal
for
Singles, couples, ecologists, back packers.
Not
ideal for
City people who need a dayly dosis of comfort.
What
is in there?
Just beaches, the ruins of Tulum, many beautiful cenotes to snorkel
and dive (sinkholes). Jeep tours. Ah, I almost forget it: the incredible and beautiful ecological reserve of the Biosphere of Sian K'a an with wetlands, coral reefs, beautiful beaches, lagoons, archaeological sites, jungle, well, you have to go there. Do not forget the "cocodrile hunting" with the biologist of this reserve, which takes place at night. It is an incredible experience!
Shopping
Basic, do not expect more. There is a supermarket at the crossroad of Tulum, Cobá, Cancún and Chetumal.
Food
Basic. Some little hotels have good restaurants, but I have always found good food to be expensive. It is normal, you know? Not too many good cooks in the middle of the jungle.
Enterteintment
& culture
The mayor is trying to make some cultural evennings with folkloric
dances. Take them as really basic, kind of naive too.
Transportation
Rent a jeep and we wise, forget about the "natural air coming from the jungle", nope, get an air conditioned jeep. You will thank me : )
Dress
code
Nobody will ever see you!, relax. Anyway get special sandals to swim and climb pyramids. That is better. You do not want to lose your sandals at climbing or swimming and do not worry about snakes, you will never see them.
Beach
conditions
You can find really beautiful sandy beaches here. Specially at the Sian K´aan ecological reserve. Tulum beaches ate really nice, and the nude and topless beaches are located exactly south of the archaeological site. If you want to try it, just remember something that happends always to beginners: we have sunburns specially in our butts! lol : )
