One Night Only Pt.2 ( Tulum)

I booked a staycaytion in Tulum. Before I get started, let me say that outside of how quiet the (PAID) beaches are, I’m not getting a lot of the allure. This is my second time visiting and it’s completely different from PDC (where I live). For one, it’s in the middle of the jungle. There’s a lot of construction and development going on in the area, probably due to the tourist boom. I initially booked an AirBNB and found myself in a shipping container/hostel situation by mistake. I ended up rebooking a hotel more my speed and ended up staying at the Seremonia. Very gorgeous, budget friendly, close to the beach and QUIET. I think the development is still new and they are currently expanding while attracting new guests.

My current favorite restaurant to eat at when I visit is La Braceria. They have an awesome menu selection. On my first visit, I opted for the tacos, my next visit was a little more indulgent so I went for the salmon. I really enjoy a nice diverse menu that can cater to all of my cravings. It’s reasonably priced and the owner is a sweetheart.
