Of course you can charge your extras from the restaurant and beach club to your room bill and pay at check out. You just need to sign your tickets whenever you would like to put a charge on your room.
Are you a pet friendly hotel?
Although we love pets, Mexican legislation does not allow pets on the beach.
Is there a safe box in the room?
Yes, all our rooms have a safe and we recommend all guests to store their valuables, passports or any important documents in there.
Are there any ATMs near your hotel?
Yes, it is not a problem to find an ATM since there are several along the beach but we recommend to use the ones at local supermarkets like CHEDRAUI or AKI or any cash machines available at any bank in town. You will be charged a withdrawal fee of approx. 2 USD and there is a daily limit at the ATMs, which is about 5000 pesos.
Credit cards are widely accepted in the area and are a must if you want to rent a car.
Should I tip staff?
There is no obligation to tip; however it is very appreciated by staff members. If you want to find out more about how to tip please send us an email to: recepcion@hotelcabanastulum.com
Can you arrange for my airport transfer?
Certainly, visit our Airport transfer section for more details on transfers or contact us at: recepcion@hotelcabanastulum.com
Do you recommend renting a car or can I get a cab to town?
For short trips to town or nearby attractions such as cenotes and the Mayan ruins you can easily move by cab. A single ride is approximately 8 USD.
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 rainy 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.
