    Finally got around to placing a review. This place is truly a nature’s wonderland. The water is ice cold but actually feels good in the 100 degree heat. Really wished we had more time to explore. Best recommendation is to get there early and stay for the night performance. Definitely worth every penny even though it is pretty pricey. We really want to go back bc it was just simply an amazing time!

    This site is absolutely incredible, exuding a unique and powerful energy that will captivate anyone sensitive to such experiences. To make the most of your visit, I recommend arriving early in the morning to avoid the crowds and the intense heat later in the day.

    A knowledgeable tour guide is a must! They can provide fascinating insights into the rich history and intriguing mysteries surrounding this place, truly enhancing the experience.

    The Malcon has so much to see and so much to do for interacting with people. There is lots of vendors with street food and lots of different restaurants to eat at. The beach is beautiful at both side of the Malcon. The romatica side I find is much cleaner. I highly recommend a must see!

    We arrived around 8:30 AM and easily parked a 15-passenger van for 100 Mex$ here 20°13'06.3"N 87°26'08.4"W. The parking attendant graciously explained the situation of multiple entrance fees and drew on a map where we should go. The first entrance fee had two lines, one for credit card and one for cash. There were no signs, just someone occasionally directing people. This was perhaps a 10-minute wait. There was a single fee, but each person got two wristbands, one for the ruins and one for the tram to the ruins and the Jaguar Beach. We could not decline the second wristband. We split our party and started simultaneously waiting in the security/bag check line, which was about the same length. Tulum is a small site, so we carried no bags, only non-disposable water bottles. We walked the 700 m to the entrance (our time is more valuable than waiting for a ride on the tram...). Here, we waited 5 minutes to make the second payment, which I believe was cash-only. We received printed QR codes, which we took to the site's entrance where we were met with a comical experience of none of the QR codes working for anyone but the guard. He had to go between each turnstile, take the printed receipt, scan it himself (What was his technique? No tourist could replicate it!), and usher everyone through. Later in the day when more people are arriving, this is surely no longer comical. Another short walk, and we entered the actual site around 9:20 AM. On our way out around 11 AM, the security check line was much shorter, but other lines and parking were much longer and/or less organized.

    We've been to Tulum on four separate occasions in 2016, 2019, and 2025. Each time there's been some amount of chaos and confusion at the ticketing gate. I think this is the nature of Mexico, and I choose to find it amusing and charming because if I expected everything to just work, that would be very frustrating. Further on Tulum, it was crowded on each visit. The Tulum authorities (or randomness, because is anyone really in charge?) haven't yet found the maximum price/agony travelers are willing to pay to visit this site, so I think that price will continue to increase. I wrote this to give back since I've benefited from reviews here, but Mexico itself is also quickly growing so visiting Tulum will soon surely be a different adventure.

    Outstanding.
    Wonderfully preserved, lots of beautiful details. Well worth a half day visit.
    My favourite zones were the interiors of palace with furnishings and the stained glass.
    I also loved the funny portraits.

    Beautiful architecture at one end of Alameda Park. So many photo ops around. Nice entryway that opens to a large lobby area with more lovely photo opportunities.

    In a beautiful Sunday afternoon, we 4 seniors join a cruise excursion to visit Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. We gathered in the cruise Theater and got on a tender arriving the port. Riding the number 6 Bus, we visited a Glass Factory and viewed the process to make a colorful turtle. Then we arrived a Restaurant to take a picture of El Arco (The Arch) and our cruise line in far distance. Finally we went to a San Jose del Cabo (a mission church) square and enjoyed eating Illy coffee and gelato.

    Incredible experience! We arrived in line at abou 8:35 (it opened at 9) and were about 20th in line. It opened promply (no charge), there are about 20 palapas that were first come first served. No restrooms, bring beach chairs, we brought our own inflatable paddleboard and were the only ones on the crystal clear water. We were there on New Year's Day and there appears to be a truck that rents kayaks, paddleboards, and snorkeling equipment however it was closed. Also, no food sales, so bring a cooler. Our "shift" lasted til noon and then I think there is another shift at 1pm which is longer but three hours was plenty of time. Really gorgeous!
