For day trips or excursion to Coba or Chichén Itzá ask our front desk staff. If you prefer to rent a car reach out to our front desk staff, they can recommend a car rental company to you and arrange for it.
Do you have any advice on what to bring?
Travel light, you will spend most of the time barefoot or with your flip-flops on.
Bring your favorite sun cream (high protection as the sun is very strong), sun glasses and of course bring insect repellent as we are in the Tropics.
It is recommendable to use only biodegradable products to cause the lowest environmental impact possible.
Bring your favorite book and music, a torch and a lot of good energy.
What’s the best time for a Tulum vacation?
It is hard to say as Tulum is always magical. But yes there are months with more rain showers than others.
What about the rain season?
Rainy season starts June 1st and lasts officially until October 30th. But this is only a rough indication.
Most of the rain showers are between July – September when it can rain all night or only sporadically for five minutes.
Of course, we cannot predict tropical storms in the area, but often the rain is a welcoming change to the hot and humid tropical climate.
Do I need to get travel insurance?
We do recommend it to all our guests. It’s a good prevention for any inconvenience regarding flight delays or cancellations especially during rain and hurricane season.
Make sure your travel insurance also covers you in case of illness, accident or theft.
Reach out to us with any additional question you might have.
