Explore a Cenote
Cenotes are natural pools of water surrounded by limestone where you can swim, dive, or just gaze in awe. There are several different kinds in close proximity to the hotel, worth checking out, we would say! Cenotes were used for water supplies by the ancient Mayans, and occasionally for sacrificial offerings.
Mayan Ruins
The remains of this temple, located just outside Tulum, overlook an amazing beach. The largest building, the Castillo, is perched on the edge of a 12-meter limestone cliff. A wooden staircase off the back of the site leads down to the beach where you can jump in the water and cool off.
Playa Del Carmen Day Trip
About half an hour drive north along the coast from our hotel, Playa Del carmen is an exciting city. If you're looking for a bit of a city jaunt, this is your spot.
Tulum Day Trip
Tulum is an incredible city about half an hour south along the coast from the hotel - this is where we had our first vacation together! Definitely worth an excursion and exploration, especially for the beaches and bars.
Manne's Biergarten
We once met a naked German man here. A definite must-visit if you're a connoisseur of dive bars.
Tacos
There are too many places to name but the tacos in Tulum and Playa Del Carmen can't be beaten. Take a look at some of the recommendations but we've pretty much never been disappointed no matter where we went.
Xpu-ha and Puerto Aventuras
Beaches and beach clubs galore! There are also cenotes nearby and many seaside and adventure activities in this area should you wish to explore.
Outdoor Activities
If you want to get off the resort grounds, the area around the Riviera Maya is full of tours and day trips. From charter fishing to ziplining or exploring caves, there are things to do for everyone.
