General Information

Maya Tulum is secluded, bordered by the ocean on one side and the jungle on the other. A generator produces standard 110V electricity, but it will not sustain the wattage output of hair dryers, irons, etc. It will support battery chargers and laptops. However, if you are going to use this equipment it is highly recommended that you bring a surge protector. The generator is shut off at 12am and turned back on at 6am.

Maya Tulum’s plumbing is very sensitive, so toilet paper, feminine products, cigarettes or any other non-organic material should not be thrown into the toilets. Wastebaskets are located beside the toilets for that purpose.

Two guest phones are available at the front desk for outgoing calls. Phone calls to the U.S. will cost $.50 a minute. Do NOT pre-purchase telephone cards as they will not function at the hotel.

Each room is equipped with a safe.
