Jaguars in the Jungle.
We were
like jaguars in the jungle, in pursuit of our next meal. We just had to have
this piece of Tulum beach-front property we discovered on a casual walk along
the beach. We stayed on for another day,
hoping to find and talk with “Victor next door.” Every time we approached his little resort,
he was not there. His unassuming wife, who spoke no English, told us to come
back mañana. We felt satisfied that
we were at least able to get his phone number to add to those that were listed
on the faded sign on the property.

Mezzanine has created causal elegance on the shores of the Caribbean Sea.
If you have yet to
visit Mezzanine it is heaven on earth, and a must do. It is a small boutique
hotel, a trendy upscale bar and a restaurant that serves great Thai food; all
located on one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. I have been to Mezzanine a handful of times for cocktails
and appetizers, dinner, beach lounging, and general indulgence. After the last
couple of times of decadence and social hedonism I thought I would write about my experiences.

 Romantic Adventure on a Budget
Andrea Knutsen, 25, of Arlington, wrote this trip report on Tulum in June, 2005
WHO WENT? My boyfriend and I (both in our mid-20s).
WHY? Tahiti was too expensive.
HOW LONG? One week.
I GRITTED MY TEETH HARDEST WHEN . . . our car rental rates doubled after adding the mandatory insurance.
BEST/WORST THING(S) ABOUT MY HOTEL:
The friendly atmosphere, intimate setting, homemade breakfasts and the
perfect-if-tiny beach made the Cabanas La Conchita stand out as the
coolest place we've ever stayed. The lack of air conditioning in the
open-air palapa-roofed cabanas also made it one of the hottest.
Literally.

Day Tripping in Tulum Mexico |

Tulum, a great reprieve from the daily grind.
(Written from a local perspective of a Playa del Carmen resident)
Most of us would agree that living in the Riviera Maya is pretty cool. Amazing beaches, the Caribbean Sea right out your back door, people from all parts of the globe, and in general, a laid back lifestyle. However, even in paradise we have to work, go grocery shopping, go to the bank, pay bills, do laundry; life stuff is inevitable no matter where you live. So once you get into a daily routine, occasionally you lose perspective on where you are, and then one day you realize that it has been days, and maybe even weeks, since you have seen the beautiful beaches. This is why we have always tried to take Sundays for day trips and local exploration. We go to new cenotes, remote beaches; to reinforce why we are here struggling for a better life.
