Mahayana has private beachfront homes in one of best beaches in Tulum! We have rented out this full property for 3 nights/4 days if you wish to stay here.

We understand that everyone has different budgets, especially traveling from abroad, and we have chosen Mexico as our destination wedding with this in mind. Trips to Tulum can either be a budget travel option for you or luxurious depending on what you are looking for. We recommend looking up trips into Cancun, Mexico on Google Flights to get an idea of the average round trip cost. For example, Google Flight Trends show a round trip price of $167 - $345 (from Chicago, IL). By looking at flight trends and booking early, you will have a better chance of getting a cheaper flight price. For hotel stays, you can choose to stay at Mahayana, an all-inclusive, or Airbnb. Any questions relating to travel and expenses please reach out to Helen at Destination Weddings Tulum: reservation@destinationweddingstulum.com

Yes. Just like any foreign location, exercise caution. Cancun and Tulum are very touristy destinations and are safe. Travel safety tips: don't wear excessive jewelry, stay within the touristy areas and main cities, don't walk around unknown neighborhoods late at night (just like you would on your own neighborhood).

No. You should avoid drinking tap or locally purified water. Most destinations, and Mahayana, will provide you with bottled water.

If this is your first time in Mexico, please know that most bathrooms outside of resorts do charge 5 to 10 Mexican Pesos to use. We advise that you carry Mexican Pesos and toilet paper if you are adventuring outside of touristy zones.
