Visiting this place was amazing! The seas view in the back ground with the ruins, truly make it a spectacular sight. The ruins are very well kept and you can still see some of the reds and blues that once covered the buildings. We arrive around 9am and that was perfect because it wasn’t over crowded yet so we were able to get some really nice pic with less people. Another nice thing about Tulúm is that the shop/restaurants and animal holder left you alone if you said no, they didn’t bagger you which was so nice not to deal with that!

Very. Ice ,location, overlooking the Caribbean ocean, so you see the ruins with the turquoise water in the background. Ruins are interesting and you can spend some hours walking around. Be aware you are not going to be alone…. There are millions of tourists on the site, this Sichte only downside. However I recommend to visit, really nice place.

Tulum is one of the prototypical things to do in the Cancun area. It is less impressive than Chichen Itza in size, but it has beautiful views and is much closer. We spent a few hours there. It is pretty hot and not a ton of shade. We loved seeing a piece of Mayan history as a family.

The Tulum ruins are something you must visit! The photos I took of the ruins on the cliff overlooking the ocean were amazing. When my husband and I went in November 2023, there was a lot of construction on the path to enter the ruins. Remember comfortable foot wear! There's lots of walking through construction before you even reach the ruins. Once at the ruins, there's lots of rocky terrain due to limestone in the ground. Also, lots of steps to climb between the different sections of ruins. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience!

The views were fantastic. The tour guide was really nice and knowledgeable. One issue is there is some sort of work being done and the overall property is not very handicapped accessible. I did see a couple people having a lot of trouble with wheelchairs.

Very crowded but that was already expected. Great place to see ancient Maya ruins for sure. It was interesting to hear the history behind the buildings. Our tour guide thoroughly explained them and was very excited about telling us about his ancestors.

We enjoyed visiting here though didn't realise you have to pay 2 different fees on entry if you want to use the beach also. Lots of shops on the street in the way in but you do get hounded to take a guide, but tickets off street vendors (don't do this) and to take tours. The site itself is really interesting with some gorgeous views. It's a long enough walk to the beach afterwards for some more hounding from sellers. The beach is beautiful though and we ended up settling for a restaurant to eat in as free sunbeds were included

Thank you to the Trip Advisor community for mentioning in one of the posts to arrive at opening time. We only were in line for 10 minutes. When we exited 2 hours later, the line was probably over an hour long. We took collectivo bus from our resort. It was an easy trip, 5 minute walk from the bus stop to the ticket area. There are two separate tickets which was confusing a bit. We did not use a guide, there are descriptions in English that you can read (and we listened to a few guides leading groups ;) Enjoyed the visit!
