Paramar Viva has the largest rooftop infinity pool in Tulum, with peaceful views of the jungle. The Palapa Rooftop Sky Bar has an infinity pool, both a hot and a cold jacuzzi, lounge seating and hammocks for relaxing. The building has 24-hour security and an on-site concierge to help you with building amenities, calling a taxi, booking a massage or borrowing the on-site bicycles. We also have an on-site property manager who can help with the apartment and any other questions you have about Tulum. If you like to exercise on vacation, the building includes an air-conditioned two-floor gym with cardio machines, weights and an area for yoga and stretching. Bicycles are free to borrow from the front desk with an ID. To relax, head to the spa for the sauna or a massage, or to the outdoor movie theater in the lobby to watch the latest film (check with the front desk for the schedule). There's also a kids' game room, a business center and an EV charger.

Arriving: fly into Cancún (CUN) or Tulum International (TQO). From Cancún you can rent a car, take the ADO bus to downtown Tulum (the cheapest option, though you'll still need a taxi from the bus station), or book a direct airport shuttle — we're happy to send recommendations. There is no Uber in Tulum, so plan to rent a vehicle, borrow a bike or get around by taxi. Taxis are notoriously expensive, especially from the airport and to or from the beach area, and prices at night can be astronomical. For the beach we recommend a bike over a taxi. Free parking is in front of the building; spots are not assigned.

Tulum is a rapidly growing city and Aldea Zama is still being built out, so construction nearby can cause noise and other inconveniences. Tulum sits in the jungle of Quintana Roo, so mosquitoes, insects, birds and even small animals are part of the natural surroundings. Doors and windows are screened, but expect some mosquitoes. Power outages happen in Tulum, and the internet can be unstable in extreme weather. When the power is out the building's water pumps stop too. The apartment has a backup battery that keeps the WiFi running and lets you charge devices during an outage. The apartment is on the first floor, reached by stairs or the elevator. Some doors and hallways in the building are narrow, so it is not wheelchair accessible. First time in Tulum? Reach out and we'll share more about the quirks of Tulum and the Quintana Roo region.
