Accommodations in Tulum are extremely varied, from budget hostels and small family-run hotels in Tulum Pueblo (town) to unique eco-boutique hotels and cabañas and upscale resorts along the beach.
Hotels in town are less expensive, a plus for the budget traveller, and you’ll be close to bars, restaurants and shops. The beach is a few kilometers from town. Taxi’s are plentiful and there’s a good cycle path.
