How to Travel Tulum CHEAP | Tulum Mexico Travel Vlog

  • Tulum Beach is not exactly cheap... In fact, it's probably one of the most expensive areas in all of Mexico. So we decided to challenge ourselves in this vlog to figure out how to travel Tulum cheap. We found that Tulum's town area was pretty reasonable and somewhat at the same price point as other tourist areas in Mexico, but Tulum's famous beach road (the part you always see in all those travel Instagram photos) is a whole different story! So since I had a hard time finding places that fit within a budget when I was researching our Tulum travel, I figured I should share some of our discoveries with all of you! Some of the places featured in the vlog include:
    Selina - hostel/hotel on the beach (also has a communal kitchen and coworking)
    Clan Destino - burger joint with a free cenote
    Eufemia - the cheapest place to enjoy taco/beer/beach club with NO MINIMUM spend
    La Zebra - swanky on-the-beach dining at a reasonable price... and the BEST tres leches
    The Store - the not-swanky convenience store (aka very cheap) for when you realize you spent too much at all the other Tulum spots

      Zokalma eco camping! They were the most incredible tree-houses, about 10-15 minutes outside Tulum. You also get access to a private cenote!

    Thanks for sharing this! So many ppl sharing places but not the prices...bc it’s very expensive 😂 I camped on the beach there 20yrs ago and was curious if you could still enjoy on a budget. I’m sure if you are there long term you could learn + hit up all of the weekly promotions, happy hours etc
    I thought cenotes were very deep but that one you had the burger at seemed very shallow?

    • @EmmaOfer

      I’m not sure how we pulled it off. We booked last minute (the day before) during low season. I’m sure the pandemic helped with the pricing a little. We also booked through a 3rd party site found through the google hotel search.
