This is it. This is the dream vacation spot. The Beach Tulum has it all! Breathtaking tropical beauty, immaculate earthy zen-style rooms and property grounds, delicious food, and a team of the warmest, most delightful people running the show with LOVE!! Upon arrival, we were introduced to Freddy at the concierge and he was our "go-to" guy for all the many special surprises and excursions on this trip. No request too big or small, he always got our vibe and nailed it with the coolest things for us to see or do in town! Trust his advice, he won't steer you wrong! At Freddy's recommendation, we checked out the Living Dreams excursions they offer. Do not miss this. Go for it. And request Paco to be your guide!! We did the Subterranean Cenote tour on our second vacation day. If you enjoy history, spirituality, and mysterious caves, this tour is for you! We had such an incredible experience that we just had to go back for another adventure with him the following day. Paco took us on the Mayan Jungle Expedition and it is a phenomenal way to enjoy the natural landscape, which is unlike anything you'll see anywhere else, as well as have an amazing homecooked lunch in a Mayan village. Memories for a lifetime!! Now back to the hotel...If you're lucky, you'll get a seat at the inner hotel bar with Santos! This man will take you on a tequila journey you'll never forget...er, well some of it you might, depending on how far you travel, lol! His warmth and humor are contagious, and whether it was at the bar or arriving at our room with delicious food from Ziggy's, Santos always put us in a great mood! Ask for the chilcuague tequila for something really out of this world! After a restful night of sleep in our plush king-size bed, we awoke to the view of the rising sun glittering on the ocean waves. This never, ever gets old. Use the blackout curtains if you'd like to sleep in, but we never wanted to miss a moment! The view outside of our room was a snapshot of paradise with coconut trees, sea turtle tracks in the sand, and prime people watching in the distance. When you are ready to venture out, your own cabana bed is always ready and waiting for you on the beach. Since living the dream demands fuel, we were totally spoiled by room service and made our way through the Ziggy's menu from top to bottom, lol. The lovely and graceful Ana frequently brought us breakfast and extra sunshine to start our day! I'm convinced she transforms back into a mermaid at the end of her shift. Every single time she arrived, Ana was always so excited to hear our daily plans, and through our conversations we learned more about Tulum and the local vibe. She also gave us several recommendations for the spa, which I'm happy to say we indulged in! Do yourself a favor and check out the Naj Naay Spa while you're there. In my previous life, I was an esthetician and I can say the services there are well worth it! And thank you to sweet Leslie for organizing our glorious couple's massage
