Paamul - all beaches

What an absolutely stunning way to conclude an incredibly beautiful and delightful day! The food was fantastic, the service was absolutely outstanding, and it was such a delightful experience to spend some time relaxing on the beach! The only thing I regret is not having an extra hour to enjoy it even more!

We stumbled upon the most exceptional beach in the Tulum vicinity. For a mere 70 pesos, we were able to enter and enjoy the serene atmosphere. To our surprise, after walking a mere 200 meters up the beach, we found ourselves in the midst of a completely empty beach, even on a bustling weekend. The bar on the beach offered drinks at reasonable prices, with beer costing only 45 pesos. It was a breath of fresh air to discover a place in the area that wasn't solely focused on taking advantage of its visitors.

We absolutely love our stay here! The service is fantastic and the staff is incredibly friendly. I had the pleasure of getting a Spa Pedicure from Karen at the Allegria Spa, and she did an outstanding job. The price was very reasonable, maybe even a bit lower than what I would have paid at my salon back home, so I'm really glad I waited until we arrived here! The spa itself is stunning, impeccably clean, and provides a refreshing air-conditioned escape from the daytime heat.

The beach is absolutely amazing. There's so much to do that it's impossible to experience everything in just one day. Although it was quite pricey, it was definitely worth the cost. The sea turtle conservation program is truly fantastic. Just keep in mind that there's a lot of walking involved, so make sure to choose your footwear wisely. Additionally, don't forget to bring your swimwear as there are plenty of chances to take a dip and refresh yourself.

While the hotel itself is commendable, I must express my disappointment regarding the dolphins being confined to an extremely small pool. It is truly disheartening and appalling that the hotel would permit such conditions. The pool they are kept in is even smaller than the children's pool, which is quite distressing. I won't delve further into the matter, but witnessing the dolphins in this state is truly heartbreaking, and it is equally disheartening to see people turn a blind eye to this ongoing situation.

I walked from the Catalonia Riviera Maya Resort to the beach, which took around 15 minutes. The path was pleasant, passing through the marina and market. I went snorkeling at the rocky beach and spotted various types of fish. Overall, it was an excellent afternoon activity.
