Eurostars Blue Tulum


The best part of our recent Mexico trip was the food and the people. I'm a Mexican food fan, but I certainly didn't expect culinary delights to be the best part of the vacation. Actually, I was a bit frightened by the prospects of getting ill from unsavory food, but once I got there I found all the eatables to be very good and fresh.

I was so happy to arrive at Tulum. We had been trekking through the hot jungle all day. We spent a couple of hours exploring some cenotes earlier in the day and were ready to do some relaxing. And that is exactly what we got to do at Eurostars Blue Tulum.

The guard opened the large metal gate, and we entered another world. We were met by two very
friendly smiling faces. On a large silver platter were fluffy, small, moist towels that felt as though they had recently been pulled from a cold refrigerator - and had a relaxing herbal scent. I held it to my sweaty forehead for a moment before draping it across the back of my overheated neck. Incredible! We were then escorted on a tour of the facility en route to our room.

The hotel grounds were stunningly beautiful. Perched on the edge of the world, overlooking the lovely blue waters of the Caribbean on one side, and the relentless dense jungle on the other.

Our room was beautiful and very comfortable. I loved everything about it. There was a nice-sounding Bose stereo playing music on a provided iPod. I replaced it with my own iPod, and played Mountain Animal Hospital's Startled By Deer. It sounded great in our lovely room.






Our hotel in Tulum provided absolutely the most helpful and accommodating service we received anywhere on our trip through the jungle. The food was exceptional, and the chefs and servers were all a pleasure to meet.

We were there for only one night, but it would have been easy to stay there forever.
