Side note; Watch your self and your stuff in Tulum
Don´t ever book hotel Uolis Nah (nasty owner), and try to stay out of the town of Tulum Pueblo. It´s very noisy because of the giant trucks, and the town at night is kinda unsafe. Girls on bikes get jumped for instance. And we got robbed in broad daylight, so be very aware in Tulum. It´s a troubled paradise.
