Temezcal

Visiting PDC the first week of May. Looking for a Temezcal bath. Can anyone recommend one in the area? What did you think of it?

Thanks

Some of the cabaņas in Tulum offer opportunities for a temezcal. I want to say that Azulik does, but I am not too sure. If somone on this forum does not have the answer, try the Locogringo website.

There are several in PDC. I believe Ikal Del Mar has one, but have heard a few things about it that was'nt positive though. Hotel Deseo is another theres is great. Also Ceiba Del Mar has a temezcal. In Tulum several of the small resorts do Azulic and it's neighbor Cabanas Copal check there website www.cabanascopal.com for more info. Some are Suits Optional as Copal is.

There's a temazcal in the garden behind Tierra Maya hotel. Also a cool restaurant. Entrance from 24th Street.

We stayed at Cabanas Copal a few weeks ago, my wife mentioned she might like the Temezcal bath. Well she's a liberal, I'm not. She's a vegetarian, I'm not. I'm claustrophic, she's not. I told her she could do it if she wanted, but I wasn't crawling into a dimly lit, cramped sweat lodge for an hour or whatever it was. I didn't discourage her, I think she probably would have enjoyed it, I'm sure I wouldn't have.

She opted for a massage instead, I opted for nothing. It was great.
