Travel from Cancun to Tulum in Yucatan Peninsula

Travel from Cancun to Tulum in Yucatan Peninsula


I am a diver and have spent a lot of time in Cozumel and have gone to
the Cenotes ("Dos Ojos") south of Playa del Carmen.

I am interested in traveling along the corridor between south of Cancun
all the way to say, Tulum.

Would like to get recommendations for reasonably priced hotels along
the way which have the usual amenities (a/c, tv etc) but aren't the
garrish all-inclusive types. Would also like to hear about some good
dive locations.

Proximity to the water and dive shops would be important though several
blocks away is fine too.

Any recommendations or comments will be appreciated.

Thanks,


Sy

Check out this forum, they have info on AI and General hotels. Most of
the boards are lively. The hosts live in Playa del Carmen some of the
moderators also live along the Riviera Maya.

Years ago, I somehow ended up spending a few days in Akumal and stayed
in the Akumal Caribe. At the time, it catered to divers and snorklers
and was pretty low rent, but really very nice, and right on the water.

Looking at their Web site, I see they've built it up a bit, and I don't
know if there's any relation to the place I stayed other than the name.

Even so, Akumal is a noted dive destination.
