Tulum Archaeological Zone

These are some nice ruins. I went here on a tour bus and was satisfied with my experience. My tour bus parked at the tour bus parking, so I got off and walked to the entrance of the ruins. I waited in line for a bit before getting into the ruins. I walked around the ruins and the entire group of ruins. There were lots of ruins and a couple of completely preserved buildings, which were pretty cool. From the ruins, you could walk down to a beach by the ocean, but I didn’t do that. After I walked around the ruins, I left, satisfied with my experience. I gave these ruins five stars because they’re well preserved.

Great Tour of Tulum a great site for families to learn about the mayan culture. Our tour Guide Jesus was very knowledgeable about Tulum and the Mayan Culture. He made the tour very interesting not only for us but for our kids (5 and 11 year old). Even my 5 year old was interested in what he was saying and asked questions.. If you do go to Tulum I highly recommend a guide and you get the history and meaning of what you are seeing. Bring lots of water, sunscreen and hats as there is little shade on the tour. Great experience, I recommend to to anyone.

AVOID AVOID AVOID, there is paid parking everywhere. When you first turn into the Main Street there are people that quite literally jump into the street and wave their arms claiming to be “official” they are not.. they also claim the beaches are closed, they are not closed! Santa Fe beach is open to the public and ridiculously gorgeous. If you walk towards the ruins and take a right, the beach is about 10 minutes down the road on your left. My best advice: haggle for the price of parking and pay no more than 100 pesos.

I loved this place, it was beautiful and picturesque. The ruins are carefully preserved, so you are not able to walk through or touch things freely, but you can take tons of photos of them. The grounds are well-kept. It was an ancient Mayan port so there are amazing ocean views. There is also a small beach which is a great place to take stunning photos of both the ruins and ocean as a backdrop. Be aware the beach area is small and maybe full of people and seaweed. Outside the park there are tons of street side vendors and shops for food and souvenirs. I highly recommend this destination if you are planning to visit the Yucatan, it's gorgeous. I went during August which was their dry season and unfortunately was sweltering HOT, but had less tourists.

Beautiful and extremely well maintained. Loved to hear the Mayan history and culture. The guides were knowledgeable and took their time explaining the significance of temples and landmarks. My only gripe were the vendors at the entrance.. those guys are super aggressive , it was expected. The ruins also has beach access if you are interested
