Food scene

Local seafood restaurant very close to the house, nothing fancy about it but I really like the ceviche here (it's prepared a bit different than other places-it has more of a local taste).

One of my favorite restaurants in Tulum, pricey but worth it if you want a culinary experience. Requires a reservation (however sometimes you can get lucky with a walk-in).

Sightseeing

arguably the biggest cultural pull Tulum offers and it’s clear to see why year on year tourists continue to flock to these superbly located Mayan ruins. Perched high on a cliff with sweeping vistas of the jewel toned ocean below, you come for the culture but stay for the view at Tulum’s ruins. Tip: arrive early!

35 min trip to Coba, worthy ruins especially if you would like an introduction to Mayan architecture right in the heart of the Yucatan jungle (incredible view from atop).

within a 2-hour drive you will find located in Yucatan, appointed by the UNESCO as World Heritage and considered one of the "New Seven Wonders of the World". The archaeological site covers an area of 6.5 square kms. Composed by the south area that dates back to the VII century and shows the maya Puuc construction style and the central area, built after the arrival of the Toltecs around the 10th century, it shows the fusion of the Puuc architectural styles and the central highlands of Mexico.

With names like Calavera (Which means Skull in Spanish) and “Temple of Doom” it starts with a cliff jump to get in, dive head first!

this is one of the top diving spots in Riviera Maya, although its name suggests it is only one big cenote, it really consists of several cenotes meandering along the verdant jungle floor and connected by wooden walkways. The color of the water is so clear that one can see fish swimming without even snorkeling. Gran Cenote is one of the most popular spots to snorkel.

a great open cenote (has a live alligator, believe it or not it is used to humans, yet be cautious).

Cenote Esconidot & Cristal are just a 4 min drive from the house, these two cenotes have the same entrance and ticket booth but are on opposite sides of the 307 Highway. Both cenotes have clear water and are surrounded by tropical plants. Of the two cenotes, Cenote Cristal is probably the more popular. Cenote Cristal is a beautiful cenote with space around it to lay out in the sun after swimming.

With a name that translates to ‘where the heaven is born’, you know you’re in for a treat. See jaguars, pumas, monkeys and ocelots up close, and soak up the natural wonders that are dotted over the 1.2 million acres’ worth of land. There is literally something to suit everyone, whether you enjoy snorkelling, diving or just plain old wandering.

Great mayan clay spa, I personally went to their Macario Gomez circuit (in the middle of the jungle); it has been the best spa circuit that I have ever had (don't be shy and do it fully naked to get a better experience ;-)
