There’s Something Amazing Regarding Tulum
If you have never been to Tulum Mexico and you adore wide white powder sand beaches and the azure gin clear waters of the Western Caribbean, tulum mexico hotels then for no other reason you should come. Visiting a few of the best beaches in the world is only one of the draws to this magical region. There is truly something magical happening here. The Mayans felt the charismatic draw from this splendid piece of the world and built an observatory on the cliffs above the blue waters of this Yucatan paradise as a key harbor and vantage point for the inland Mayan city of Coba. The areas along the beaches of Tulum are now home to many Tulum resorts which offer an eco-friendly yet comfortable retreat option.
The name Tulum originates from the Mayan word for wall, although this early Mayan city was also referred to as Zama which means “city of dawn”. Possibly they called it that because of the tulum hotels extraordinary sunrises you can observe from the cliffs and beaches around these well preserved and sublime ruins containing the most prevalent ruins of any in Mexico to visit.
Tulum is a long way removed from the mega resorts and hotels of Cancun and even outside the thriving Playa del Carmen hotels and resorts. The Tulum lodges you find in this vicinity are primarily the eco friendly variety and the area is known for coining the phrase ‘eco-chic’. These are not your typical eco friendly hotels with several offering full service spas and facilities you would not be expecting in such a unaffected and unspoiled environment.
Yucatan Peninsula travel gives you a wide variety of options as far as style and substance. If you are traveling to the inland locations, you can explore the new 7th Wonder of the World at the ruins of Chichen Itza or stop at historical Merida hotels where colonial elegance meets Mayan history and culture. Playa Del Carmen hotels offer a more characteristic Caribbean holiday experience. The streets are bustling with world class shopping and nightclubs as well as an enthusiastic daily beach setting ideal for people watching and sun worship. Of course Cancun has long been recognized as a major tourist getaway since the late 1970’s and now represents a more modern and conventional large luxury resort experience.
Yucatan hotels vary in both size and style and there’s genuinely something for everyone. For me it’s the less significant Tulum resorts, Holbox Island hotels and the more subdued places that are still comparatively undiscovered. Beyond the evident draw of the white sand and mixed shades of turquoise waters there’s something about being in a pristine part of paradise that does make it feel all your own, a magical location to rest and envision what life was like for the Mayans that ruled this region for so many years.
