Tulum

The Perfect Day in Cancun and Riviera Maya

"While not as large as other ancient Mayan cities in the region, Tulum draws in visitors for its stunning setting of centuries-old temples perched on a cliff by the Caribbean Sea. You’ll pass a large market with souvenirs, a casual Mexican restaurant, and even a Starbucks before reaching the entrance, where a train can take you to the site if you’re not up for the 10-minute walk. It’s advisable to hire a guide to fully understand each structure’s significance and the history behind the ruins; informative signage is all but nonexistent. Don’t forget to bring your swimsuit, as the site encompasses a white-sand beach with soothing waves and beautiful rock formations that’s reached by a long wooden staircase."

It is a beautiful ruin on a beautiful coast. I enjoyed roaming, but the signage isn’t particularly good and the guides are a mixed bag. I would recommend reading up before going or making very sure you know something about your guide. I went with a tour from a hotel and the guides are they chose was one of the least impressive I saw working that day. It is a five star attraction, but not a five star experience for everyone.

The beaches in the area are absolutely gorgeous, but if you want to visit the ruins, the tower and the museum it's a whole different story. Long wait for the busses and not very worth it. By far the worst organized park I've ever visited, and quite poor treatment of their customers.

Beautiful Ruins, I did not have a tour guide and it was still amazing. To see something like this still standing is incredible. I would recommend coming during the weekday in the morning to avoid the heat during mid day and heavy crowds during the weekend. You can expected to spend a couple hours here.

I thought the ruins were really fascinating. I had an excellent tour guide from Cancun Adventures - Ana Perez. Gorgeous location, and absolutely breathtaking views with pristine blue waters.

This place is spectacular! We visited on a Wednesday and there was no line to enter. We also came with a guide which was helpful to learn about the area, hear the history, ask questions, and find the perfect picture spots! As you enter you walk through a 1000 year old wall (I think). Then you feel like you’re transported into the past. This historical site is directly on the water but on a small area that overlooks the ocean. It’s a beautiful place and I highly suggest a visit!

Beautiful! Stunning ruins located right on the seafront. I would recommend you take water in an actual bottle, as they don’t allow you to take plastic bottles in, and be wary there is very little shade when at the ruins on a sunny day. All in all, a great trip, takes around 2 hours to see all there is to see.

Amazing experience! The entire place is well maintained and everything is easy. Spectacular historic buildings with views of a stunning beach! What more could anyone ask for, this place is not overrated at all. Amazing snorkeling right here!!

Amazing place. Beautiful buildings and an amazing view. I recommend having a guide to get the most out of the visit. There are a lot of local shops at the entrance and even a Starbucks, which I recommend if you are looking for an AC'd place to cool off and a clean bathroom.
