Punta Tulum is a breathtaking beach in Quintana Roo, Mexico, just south of the Tulum Ruins near Cancun. With its powdery white sand and turquoise waters, it's perfect for sunbathing beside ancient Mayan cliffs. Don't miss snorkeling in the Great Mesoamerican Reef, or swimming in mystical cenotes at nearby eco-parks. As sunset paints the sky, unwind at boho-chic beach bars sipping margaritas—the ultimate Caribbean escape where history meets paradise!

Everything you need to know about Punta Tulum
The highlights are the Mayan ruins perched on cliffs overlooking the Caribbean Sea, and the white sand beaches. Don't miss El Castillo pyramid and the ancient murals in the Temple of the Frescoes.
Essentials include sunscreen, swimwear, and a waterproof camera. Since the ruins have little shade, hats and sunglasses are crucial. Bring your own snorkeling gear or rent locally.
The Mayan ruins date back to the 13th-15th centuries, among the last cities inhabited by the Maya. It was a major trading port for obsidian and cacao beans.
Options range from eco-lodges to beachfront resorts. Azulik offers electricity-free stays, while Casa Malca showcases art-filled luxury - both within walking distance of the ruins.
From Cancun, take the ADO bus (2-hour ride). Drivers should head south on Highway 307. The ruins are walkable, but wear sturdy shoes as the stone paths are uneven.
Must-tries include ceviche (citrus-marinated seafood) and cochinita pibil (slow-roasted pork). Beachfront restaurants serve fresh catches - try Pescado Tikin Xic, fish grilled with local spices.

We recently stayed at the Wyndham Grand Cancun Family 3-Bedroom Ocean Villa and had an absolutely fantastic experience—truly deserving of a perfect 10/10. The resort was immaculate, with every area spotless and well-maintained, creating a peaceful and inviting atmosphere throughout our visit. Our villa was spacious, beautifully appointed, and located just steps from the beach—a major highlight that made mornings by the water unforgettable. The beach itself was pristine, with plenty of lounge chairs available, so we never had to worry about finding a spot to relax. Service stood out in every way—especially Sergio and Enrique at the restaurants. Sergio went above and beyond to help us with minor scheduling hiccups, making our vacation run smoothly. And Enrique? He blew us away—he remembered our first visit here 30 years ago during our honeymoon, when he was already working at the resort! Sharing those nostalgic moments made the stay feel deeply personal and special. One downside was the inconsistent Wi-Fi, particularly in parts of the villa where signal was completely absent. Verizon users might also face weak or unreliable coverage across the property. Food-to-go options were limited too—wanting sushi and burgers at the same time meant visiting separate restaurants instead of being able to bring food from one to another, even if they were nearby. Lastly, room service came with an extra fee that felt a bit steep given the all-inclusive nature of the package. But honestly, these small drawbacks didn’t take away from the overall excellence. With stunning ocean views, top-tier hospitality, and unforgettable memories, this is definitely a place we’d return to.

The Iberostar Selection Cancun is an exceptional resort that truly delivers on every level.

The service team genuinely cared about enhancing our experience, whether it was helping with dining reservations or offering local tips. With excellent amenities, a relaxing vibe, and a perfect balance between luxury and comfort, this hotel exceeded all expectations. I can’t wait to return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a stress-free, enjoyable getaway in Cancún.

This hotel is absolutely fantastic—perfectly located in the heart of Cancún, just steps away from great restaurants and super convenient for hopping on buses to the beach area. The breakfast is outstanding, fresh, delicious, and a real highlight of the stay. I loved the vibe, the cleanliness, and the overall comfort. It’s not just a place to sleep—it feels like a little urban oasis. I’d definitely book here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Cancún.

Hotel Handall is perfectly located in the heart of Cancún, just a block away from Chedraui, pharmacies, restaurants, and a bus stop heading straight to the hotel zone. The hotel’s café serves delicious food at very affordable prices, though it closes at 5 PM—luckily there’s a 24-hour convenience store right outside for late-night needs. The place feels quiet and mostly empty, which actually worked in our favor—we stayed 8 days and had the small pool all to ourselves for 5 of them. That kind of privacy is rare and appreciated. The rooms are spotless and well-maintained, but the front desk staff were quite serious and not very welcoming. Still, if you’re looking for a clean, low-key stay with easy access to everything, this hotel delivers great value without the touristy crowds.
