No. You only need to have a negative test result taken no more than 24 hours prior to your departure before entering back into the US. They will check your result at the airport when you’re checking in for your flight to go back home.
YES. There is a testing site at Dreams resort if you’re staying there. If not, there are several mobile testing sites in the hotel zone (it’s one road). As a last resort, there’s even rapid testing at the airport but it will probably be busy. Try to get tested on the hotel strip a couple days before your departure!
We have decided to make this an adults-only celebration. We hope you understand!
If you are able to attend the wedding, you have already given us the most precious gift of spending time with you! An additional gift is not expected. If you are not able to make it to the wedding, a gift would be very much appreciated, but again, still not expected! There is a link to our registry page at the top of our website. With love, Jackie & Dylan
It's totally up to you and your budget. Tulum's daytime activity revolves mostly around the hotel beach scene. We recommend hotel for convenience. The major pros of hotels are having access to their beach, easy access to food and drink (many hotels have breakfast included), access to hotel beach parties, fresh linens daily, safety and security. Tulum is very safe, but it's nice to know they have safes in every room and security guards on the grounds at all times.
A valid passport is required to travel to Tulum, Mexico. Please keep in mind it can take up to 3 months to receive your passport. If your passport is expiring within six months of the wedding, you will need to have it renewed in order to leave the country.
The Tulum beach road is easy to get around by bike, foot or taxi. Most hotels rent bikes by the day and taxis are plentiful and safe. Be sure to have pesos avaliable. The price for a taxi to and from destinations on the Tulum Beach Road is approximately 80 - 120 pesos. The price for a taxi to destinations in Tulum Town is approximately 150 to 200 pesos. Always ask the price and negotiate cost before entering the taxi.
The exchange rate is ~20 pesos/US dollar.
VISA and Mastercard are widely accepted at established restaurants, hotels and retail stores. However cab drivers, small retail shops and spa services will only accept pesos. Please keep in mind an international exchange fee is charged to most US cards, this fee is typically 3%.
Yes -- however it's best to exchange dollars at your departure airport or before you plan to travel (lines are long and the exchange rate is bad at the Cancun airport).
There is a small pharmacy and general merchandise store on the Tulum beach road in the vicinity of the hotel and wedding venue for basic over the counter medicines, general beach items and snacks. There is also a large supermarket in Tulum Town called Super Chedraui for purchasing groceries, toiletries, etc.
While Mexico has experienced a surge in drug-related violence, Tulum has remained a relatively safe travel destination. Travelers should exercise common sense when traveling in the Tulum Town area: for example, don't walk around alone at night, lock the doors to your cabanas, keep your passport in the safe. Basically be smart and use common sense.
Yes! Majority of taxi drivers, concierge, waiters and bartenders all speak english.
Tulum is a laid back, yet stylish beach town. A place to unplug. Though the wedding will be elegant, plan to embrace your vacation self for the rest of the time! Think bikinis, beach cover-ups, sandals and straw hats. Bug spray - Tulum is basically a jungle on the beach so there are a ton of mosquitos. Make sure to bring strong bug spray (with deet) - I've heard the bug repellent bracelets work well too. Sunscreen - the Mayan sun is really strong. Pack biodegradable sunscreen if you plan to swim in the cenotes!
