Let’s set you up to thrive.
🛬 Getting to Tulum
Closest Airport:
You have two options —
✈️ Tulum International (TQO) – Closest (brand new!)
✈️ Cancún International (CUN) – More flight options, 1.5–2 hour drive to TulumTransportation Tips:
When purchasing your ticket, it’s best to add-on The Kismet Shuttle Service for an easy and trusted way from the airport to the resort.Schedule private transfer before you land — don't rely on finding one at the airport. We recommended using the very best of them: Black in Tulum for private car service.
💵 Money, Money, Money
Currency:
Mexican Pesos (MXN) — but USD is accepted in many tourist areas. You’ll often get a better deal if you pay in pesos.TIPS:
Have cash on hand for taxis, tipping, and small vendors. Many ATMs in town only accept debit cards — and often run out of cash. Bring enough or use bank-branded ATMs when possible (avoid the flashy ones on the strip).
🌞 The Vibe & the Weather
Weather in AUGUST:
Expect heat, humidity, and moments of rain that pass quickly. Think 85–90°F daily with some steamy jungle energy.What to Pack (Non-Fashion Edition):
Reef-safe sunscreen (it’s law + better for the environment)
Mosquito spray or citronella oil
Electrolytes or hydration packs
A hand fan or mini portable one
A light shawl or scarf for temples/dinners
A backup charger/power bank (trust us)
