Caribbean destinations are not just for winter getaways. Summer travel has become increasingly popular with those seeking a relaxing beach getaway with an added joy of a cultural experience. Tulum, Mexico is known for its generous expanses of soft white sand, lush jungles, bohemian flair, and rich history. There is good reason this idyllic beach destination is at the top of many travelers' bucket lists. There is lots to discover and a vibrant community of music, food and wellness year round. By choosing to travel during the slow season, visitors can experience the magic and allure of this amazing destination at a slower pace and at lower rates.
May is a special time in Tulum as the turtles come ashore to nest on the beaches of Tulum. These nests are marked by conservationists and will hatch naturally throughout the summer and all the way to November. The turtles bring a special energy our nature-loving guests and families are sure to enjoy. It is an opportunity to experience the enchanting journey of the turtles firsthand, in their natural habitat and in a harmonious way. Summer guests may be lucky enough to see the babies hatch from their nests and make their way to the sea. It is extraordinary to quietly witness their journey.
In addition to experiencing the wonder of the turtles, the slow season also means lower rates and a slower pace.
Slow season is the ideal time to explore the Mayan ruins of Tulum, where you can immerse yourself in the mysticism of this beautiful location without the usual crowds.

Notable attractions include the exquisite watchtower El Castillo, which towers over the Caribbean Sea, and the Temple of the Frescoes, adorned with blue-green murals depicting Mayan gods.
Visitors can also find good deals on cenote excursions for that refreshing freshwater dip.
