We thought this mural was worth a shot before their extension is built and the view is blocked.We are embarrassed to admit that we stopped at what we thought was a shaded outdoor cafe area which was actually a night club with private security and scantily clad hostess to receive our order. Unsurprisingly it was the most expensive coffee we had – at midday.We are staying on the outskirts of Tulum where the locals go for their takeaway or home delivery pizza. Its a bit different from the ruins and the tourist hotel zone we had visited the previous week when on a day trip from Playa Del Carmen.Both the takeaway and drinks shop next door are behind bars which we hope to demonstrate with this picture. The staff did not appear to be concerned for their safety and work in fear of being held up and robbed; our guess is that these measures are a hangover from the covid restrictions.This was an interesting overnight stop.We arrived before the cabana was ready and waited patiently.
There is a combination of cabanas with en suite bathroom and glamping tents with communal shower/toilet blocks. We wanted the bikes with us inside after our recent experience so we passed on the tents.This first time tea/coffee facilities were provided free of charge.
