Welcome to Tulum!
Tips for Getting to / Around Tulum
Tulum is an old Mayan city, now a Caribbean beach town on the Yucatan peninsula.
Tulum is divided into two main areas, Tulum “town” and the beach/hotel Zone. Tulum town is different from the beach area with local flavor, filled with authentic taco stands, souvenir shops, and lush Airbnbs near the jungle, offering a more budget-friendly vibe in a rustic setting. The beach area is a stretch of beautiful coastline, top tier restaurants and hotels. Both areas have tons of great restaurants, bars and boutiques.
We will lay out a few methods to get to Tulum and back home below!
Cancun International Airport (CUN)
Cancun - Chetumal Km 22, 77565 Cancún, Q.R., Mexico
The closest airport to Tulum is Cancun (CUN), which is approximately 80 miles away and a 1.5 hour drive south.
Google flights is a great tool, offering flexibility to find affordable flights based on your schedule. The "Track Prices" feature can help you determine if its the right time to buy. Typically, the best price on flights to Cancun can be found ~ 3-4 months before.
Shuttle
We can help arrange for a shuttle for you from the airport and resort with others who may have similar arrival/departure times. When you have booked your flight, please let us know of the details as soon as you can so we can coordinate.
We’ve partnered with a great company Happy Shuttle Cancun. You can add waters, beers, snacks with your 90 min trip while booking. Use CODE: WED1221AM for $10 OFF at checkout!
Rental Car
Renting a car will be the easiest method of transportation to explore all that the Yucatán has to offer. We highly recommend groups of friends to split a few rental cars to get around.
Taxi / Bike
You can find affordable bicycle rentals all over town or at the beach. They range from 100-150 pesos ($5-7 per day) and are the easiest way to zip around town and explore. We do not recommend biking to the wedding venue (unless you like struggling).
Taxis are readily accessible but are cash only.
Tulum Town is about a 15-20 minute bike ride to the beach or a short cab ride (200 - 250 pesos/ $10-12).
Dreams Tulum
We have a minimum nights requirement for the wedding, so we would request that if possible, our guests stay at the resort.
All bookings are all-inclusive (food, drink, access to resort amenities, etc.)
Rooms must be booked by 7/12/22 to apply these lower rates to your reservation.
Rooms can be cancelled 31 days prior to check-in without penalty.
Adjust the travel dates to your desired timeframe. We will be arriving on Wednesday, November 8th and checking out on Tuesday, November 15th to ensure that everything is properly set up. Events will be going on from Friday through Sunday.
The resort will charge you for the first night at the time of booking and for the remaining amount 30 days prior to check-in. The remaining amount will be charged automatically to the same credit card used at the time of booking, which you will need to present at check in along with an ID.

AirBnB / Hotels
Airbnb offers a wide selection of beautiful, and very affordable homes and apartment rentals in Tulum.
Most Airbnb options are new and include pools/concierge to help organize travel. Make sure you choose an airbnb that is close to the main highway 15. You can check this on the map on the condo listing page under "location." You do not want to stay deep in the condo complex as the drive to the beach will take longer and cabs are hard to come by.
Aldea Zama is a neighborhood in the jungle with great accommodations and is generally more affordable. For a more authentic experience, you can stay in Tulum town near the town center. For a more luxurious stay, you should stay on the resort strip by the beach which will have several options.
