- Taxis are expensive and cash only. Agree on the fare before you get in.
- Bikes are the easiest way to get between town and the beach road.
- Colectivo vans on Highway 307 are cheap and stop anywhere between Tulum and Playa del Carmen.

Booking rooms for your wedding group
- Most guests come in high season (November to April). Set up a room block or share hotel picks 9 to 12 months ahead, because good rooms go first.
- Keep guests in one or two areas if you can. Shared shuttles and meeting points get much easier.
- Guests here mostly need a car or a driver. Staying close to the venue, or booking a wedding-night shuttle, saves a lot of late-night stress.
- Ask hotels for a group rate with no attrition penalty, a cut-off date about 30 to 60 days before the wedding, and free delivery of welcome bags.
