TULUM TOILETS
by Jawnuta
There is a large toilet facility at front of the ticket office.
Give the lady 30 pesos when she handle you the napkin.
Toilets are very clean, however the water to flush them has dark brown color. It looks like watery doo-doo. It is normal and does not smell.
The water to wash your hands is clear (I guess purified), and there is plenty of soap.
Most faucets in public bathrooms ( in TULUM, COBA, CHICHEN-ITZA, CANCUN AIRPORT) have sensors so you don't have to touch anything after you wash your hands.
Palm Trees are kind of Ratty
by emilienoelle
I had always envisioned palm trees as being the picture-perfect things that you see on Corona commercials, and they are like that from a distance, but up close they are pretty ratty. It makes sense when you condiser the harsh conditions that these trees must survive: little water, extreme heat, high winds. But hey, a ratty palm tree sure beats no palm tree at all!
Footwear
by CindyLou99
You might want to bring a small bad to carry your stuff for the day. Be sure that you have good shoes for walking. There is some rough terrain and a lot of steps, so you will want to be comfortable. You also might want a hat for extra protection from the sun. Sunscreen is a must. You will not want to forget your camera for all the great photo opportunities there. A bottle of water will be greatly appreciated, because of the heat combined with all the walking.
Playa del Carmen
by leffe3
Playa del Carmen off the beaten track? If you are staying in Tulum it is (normally its the other way round!). Much more developed than Tulum, with a number of bars, clubs, restaurants, it has become something of a holiday playground. As a more commercial centre, it is the best place to do any holiday shopping for those little touristy things required to take back home.
The Tulum Train: To the Ruins and back!
by wilocrek
For those of you who don't want to make the ten minutes walk from the parking lot up the road to the entrance to the ruins in the jungle heat there is a alternative. For roughly $3.00 you can purchase a round trip ticket on the Tulum train ( not really a train, but it looks like one ) to the ruins and back. However it really is a pleasant ten minutes walk so I would suggest walking but if you in a hurry or not into walking then taking the train to the ruins is the ticket!
