Trip planned for august 5-12

[Wratha]

I didn't want to hi-jack rand's thread with details about my trip; however, I have a similar question.

I'd also be interested in knowing where the best snorkeling sites are in the area. We're staying far south at freedom paradise (it's just a tad north of tulum) because I live at a beach resort area and I wanted to be selfish with my beach on my vacation. Anyway, I want to do a LOT of snorkeling and was curious where the best beach access areas are for this, north and south of tulum. This is a tentative schedule of our trip.

If anyone wants to add anything, a 'do not miss' item or a comment about what we have so far, I'd love to hear from you. I'll be going there with an eye towards future family vacations. Leaving the jersey shore for this paradise... oh my, I can't wait!

Perfect, EXCEPT, I would not eat at Alux. I would eat somewhere else then go to Alux for after dinner drinks instead. Food is not as good as it should be for the prices, you go there for the atmosphere. Eat on the beach at La Terraya instead then go for drinks at Alux. Cool sitting areas to have drinks in Alux, you will love it for that. Terraya is 1/2 the price (if not less) than Alux, better food and you can sit with your feet in the sand on the beach and look at the ocean while you eat. Otherwise, sounds like a perfect vacation! We liked the snorkeling at Yal Ku lagoon and Akumal Bay. Good combination, Yal Ku in the morning, walk to Half Moon Bay and eat lunch at La Buena Vida, then walk to Akumal Bay and snorkel there.

Damn - you are way too organized for me and i think you should fit in some time for cerveza!!!

[tommy]

only thing I could suggest is a couple of more trips to El Oasis.....

[Wratha]

Thank you! this is exactly what I wanted to know okay, so we plan to have drinks at Alux and eat at La Terraya (looking that up now). I'm all about wiggling toes in the sand anytime! And I'm sure we'll be hitting El Oasis again on the way out; leave with a good taste in our mouths! <sigh> I know I'm not going to want to leave! ahem... and so... the planning continues, as it must, for I'm very scatter brained and would never get anywhere, nevermind be ontime or in the right location... so I plan, put it in writing, and it really reduces my stress of last-minute availability and other eye-twitching irritants.
