Tulum is Utterly Terrible.

"I found the Mayan ruins, set above the beach and watching over the town, to be immaculately preserved — a clear genuine highlight amid an otherwise overdeveloped scene." - Matthew Kepnes

Very nice area and worth visiting. Also the beachbis great and hotels/restaurants are fabulous there. You encounter a lot of Iguanas. You can enter inside with your car if you have a booking in one of the hotels at no additional charge or park outside and use the club car.

Beautiful ruins just be sure to take tumbler and fill with water as there is no plastic containers allowed also apply plenty of sunscreen and take sun protection and mosquito spray

DO NOT buy your tickets to the ruins before you get to the official gate to buy them. It looks like they are officials, they tell you that its the same price, they will help you not stand in line, not one line up at all . Well, they are liars and thiefs, it cost us $300 Canadian to see the ruins and do a snorkel boat trip, the fellows we were hanging out with paid $20 canadian for both of them to snorkel and $80 Canadian to see the ruins. That is $200 less than what we paid. If we bought our tickets at the gate and then purchased a snorkel trip at the beach we would have $200 in our pockets, beware of scammers, ive traveled to 50+ counties and this is my first rip off.

Costs $400 mxn pesos to enter park and then another $100 mxn pesos to enter ruins. Worth it to spend the entire day there. Pack a lunch (can’t take any single use plastic in including water bottles). Beaches are beautiful!!!

Playa Ruinas in Tulum is a breathtaking beach where history meets nature. Nestled beneath the ancient Mayan ruins, this spot offers stunning views of the Caribbean Sea and soft white sands. It’s a unique place to relax after exploring the archaeological site above. A must-visit for anyone traveling to Tulum! Arrive early to avoid crowds and the midday heat and get comfortable walking shoes!

This beautiful beach is free and offers a relaxing and calm space that’s definitely worth the visit. While it’s a bit further from La Valeta if you’re walking, the stunning beauty of the beach makes the trip worthwhile. Plus, it’s not crowded, which is a plus.
