Download and use the app indrive when you can. There are no ubers in tulum but indrive serves well. It does not operate the same way in the hotel zone, but you can get there using indrive. Getting back you may need a cab.
Judge their taste first.
Top pickMy favorite hotel zone restaurant in Tulum. Argentinian style with a wonderful ambiance.

33 more places, 4 avoids and 4 events.
Those two were the free ones. The rest is the list Spencer'd give a friend, with the notes to match.
Great picks. I loved the sushi spot he recommended. Also was very friendly and open to help when I had a question.
Practical things Spencer wishes travelers knew before they got here. Here's one on the house.
