Curator’s statement
Most people associate Mexico with beach parties, resorts and occasionally even the unsafe parts of the country. I am not a resort person and would rather have a relaxing time in a unique hotel for a more personalized experience. Tulum is the perfect place for people like me who want to enjoy the splendor of the Caribbean and Mexico in one. It offers the perfect blend of adventure and fun, with relaxation and wellness! SO many unique hotels and restaurants in Tulum becoming a must visit for everyone.
