I was a little nervous to travel to Tulum, I’d heard that it’s very expensive, that a lot of people had a bad time and just as many had a good time. You know, classic mixed reviews.
Here’s my experience; We flew into the Tulum Airport and after being received after customs by undercover Time Share salesmen (& women) masquerading as a Taxi Service - we settled on Jungle Taxi. Very nice people and we haggled a ride to the hotel and back for our return flight.
Next came the hotel - we arrived and met Marciel- a very nice gentleman and very polite and well mannered. He spoke the directions in English and took a long time explaining the accommodations to us, which I enjoyed. His vibe was basically, you are here for a while so you’re basically family - let me know what I can do to help you. & he lived up to that and was helpful
Every day - so thank you, Marciel!
Manuela poured our welcome drink - one of the main bartenders of the resort. Condrado helped us with anything else we needed while we lounged on the beach.
We have enjoyed this experience and I would highly recommend Orchid Beach to anyone visiting Tulum.
We stayed in Brassavola - a room on a second floor and close to the street entrance of the resort. This resort is quiet at night. I slept very well, no raves or loud bars nearby. Nice place for relaxing retreat or a small family.
Be kind to the staff, don’t be a POS. You’re a representative of your country whether you like it or not.
