Located just 78 miles south of Cancun, Tulum, Mexico is among the most popular destinations on the Yucatan Peninsula. Visitors can try the old Mayan ruins on the coast of Quintana Roo, or stroll along the beach in Tulum and melt in the beauty of some of Mexico's best beaches of white sand and crystal clear waters.

If you are interested in visiting the archaeological sites in the area, there are about 60 Mayan ruins that are above the limestone cliffs and look over the crystalline waters of the beach Tulum have rested here and 900 AD Although not as large as Chichen Itza, Tulum still offers a good example of the post-classic period of Mayan Culture and construction of any Mayan largest coast.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to visit a beach paradise? Well, Akumal, Mexico is one of the best beach paradises not known to man; as this is one of Mexico's best kept secrets. This little Mexican town has many things to offer. The small community filled with sandy white beaches, and deserted coastline, is a hot spot for newlyweds, and couples.

I still remember my wedding day, that day was the greatest day of my life. When the idea came to me, to celebrate my wedding in Tulum (the Mexican Caribbean), my happiness was so great that I just couldn't believe it, to many wonderful ideas started running through my head.

One of the first things I thought was to gather all of my family members and close friends, so we could spend the best time of our lives with the people that we really love.

Puerto Morelos is not exactly a secret destination, but it is certainly not as in-your-face as some of its neighbors. Everyone knows that Cancun is a hot spot for beach lovers and revelers, especially during spring break, but if that's not the scene you're after, there is an amazing alternative. Upon arriving in Puerto Morelos and realize that it is beautiful, relaxing and not as crowded as other Mexican cities, is puzzled why more is not well known.

Taking your family on vacation to Cozumel is an amazing experience for everybody. While many cities are associated with the partying, there are also many activities that are designed for younger children and adolescents. Many children receive discounts at many attractions. Choosing an all inclusive vacation package for the entire family is one of the best ways for everyone to enjoy their holiday in Mexico, without having to worry about the cost.

Nothing beats enjoying a hot summers day ski boating with the family or friends. A popular outing and sport, water skiing has been around for a number of generations.

It does make a big difference in water skiing to have the right ski boat. For a better ski boat they should have small wake and have nippy maneuverability and turning capability, and remember bigger is not better.

With abundant culture, food and incredible scenic beauty, it is no wonder Mexico is a major vacation destination for countless tourists every year. The huge growth in tourism is reflected in the wide range of hotels that are available in Mexico, from large international chains to small boutique establishments.

Mexico has a cultural mix that is absolutely unique.

Couples with children in tow need not be put off from a vacation to Akumal. The place is teeming with countless activities for the younger generation. The only thing is, they might end up having more fun than you.

Touring the local ruins and snorkeling have long been the pursuits of choice for Akumal tourists. These are equally viable for children too, with a couple of safety precautions and a little vigilance they can participate in almost all "adult" activities.

You can rent a car to drive for your entire stay in Akumal. Having access to a car enables you to visit the most remote and beautiful areas along the Caribbean coast. The majority of rental car firms have offers in the Cancun Airport but during the busier times of year you're far better off renting a car prior to your arrival.

The economical cars are the Beetle, Chevy Manza, Nissan Tsuru and the Chevy Pop.

Of all the restaurants in Akumal Lol-Ha is by far our favorite. This amazing beach bar has an enormous outdoor dining area, enclosed by a beautiful array of palm trees and a breath taking view of the ocean. The menu is top notch too! For elegant dining you can take it back inside where the lively and fresh decor makes for one of the most pleasant dining experiences possible.
