Fabulous!

The condo is beautiful and so very Mexican! A wonderful location, close to the best attractions on the coast. The view is beautiful, and while the weather was very windy, with large waves, the bay was quite calm - enough for snorkelling with the turtles. Don't bother with the turtle tour, just start swimming off the beach (wear water shoes and beware sea urchins!) The town has one of the best gift shops I found. Rent a car (be careful, research the pitfalls. If your credit card covers any of the liability insurance, make sure you take the paperwork with you). By having your own car, you arrive at attractions such as Xel-Ha hours before the tours arrive, and pay much less. Who wants to spend their holidays on a bus? There is a tv, but only used as a dvd player, so plan accordingly. We did not miss it. A 5-minute walk to Yal Ku lagoon, snorkel all day for @ 12.50/person. Entrance to Tulum costs 57 pesos (5.00 CDN). It was honestly the best vacation we have ever had. Thank you so much Marty for your recommendations and the use of your condo. If you are planning on renting this condo, book early because I am recommending it to every one I know, and planning already for next year.
