2. Tulum Tower
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 251 reviews
You will arrive at our lobby bar where we get ready, store your personal belongings in our lockers, register and enjoy a delicious margarita or piña colada. After a few minutes we went to sit in our revolving gondola where 16 people can fit, we fasten our seatbelts and fly! We climb 35 meters high very slowly, slowly turning 360 degrees, so that everyone can enjoy a moving and unique view. Being upstairs my clients receive very important and interesting information about the Mayan civilization and the region. Then we will take some spectacular photographs, after (30) thirty minutes we go down very slowly. Finally, we went through our souvenir and photography shop. The duration of the experience is (30) thirty minutes, and it is offered in Spanish.

First time getting on this tower; it goes 118 ft up and you spend about 10 minutes up top, taking in the view of the whole area; definitely worth the price, about 8 USD per person; the view is excellent; great service from Salvador, the tower operator; will definitely come again.

We have spent 8 weeks in a townhouse in the Tao Complex and could not have been happier. The whole complex beautifully maintained, lots of trees and vegetation and very secure. Wake to birdsong every day. My husband swam in the salt water lap pool at the Wellness Center every morning and loved it. The Bistro at the Wellness Center is really just a place to get coffee not a meal. The following are some of the things that I would have liked to have known before coming. The Tao complex is a gated community within the larger gated community of the Bahia Principe Residences & Golf complex. There are miles of sidewalks and great for walking, biking and running. Most of the people living at Tao are retired, lots of Canadians and it is very quiet. FOOD: You need a car for sure. The nearest grocery store is 20 minute drive away in Puerto Aventuras. We arranged for our taxi from the airport to stop there on the way to Tao. 1 hour extra $35. It is a big superstore right next to the highway with food, clothing, booze and beach stuff called Chedraui, pronounced CHED- RAUI like Maui. There is also an ATM there and a bank in the same complex. Tulum is a 25 minute drive south from Tao and there is a big Chedraui store there as well, practically across the road from the American Car Rental, where we rented our car, better rates than the big companies at the airport and had no problems with the vehicle. There is a little general store called Chomak in Akumal on the beach side of town ,10 minute drive away, that has fresh fruit, eggs, BBQ charcoal and other stuff....fried chicken. Pizza available at gas stations on highway before Tao and just past Tao. Small pharmacy over at Dona Isabelle shopping complex at the Bahia hotel where the pharmacist can dispense antibiotics without prescription. BEACH: You can take shuttle to Bahia hotel beach across the highway or drive your own car[ there is an overpass don't need to go on the highway] and park in the public parking space. Beach is protected by artificial barriers so water is calm and shallow and bottom is rocky in places but no seaweed. Surf Shoes are good. About a mile up the highway toward Tulum is a beautiful natural beach at the Turtle Sanctuary. Pay to enter, no food, no alcohol, no smoking, no music, no drones, toilet and that's it. GOLF: If long term visitor buy a 10 round package...much cheaper. Golf course very challenging. Bring LOTS of golf balls. Enjoy living at Tao...we did.

The church is a beautiful respite in the middle of Puerto Morelos. It's open during the day and provides a place for prayer as well a small coffee shop to sit and relax. The art is well worth the stop.

If you plan to visit Playa del Carmen you definitely need to visit Quinta Avenida or Fifth avenue, it is so colorful and full of fine dining, shopping, and just fun to walk, around 2 miles of all kinds of stores, restaurants, and souvenirs to take home. It was at walking distance from our hotel so we really enjoyed, and we hope to come back very soon
