hello jungle vibes i just checked into coco which is the famous black and white hotel on tulum beach
so many people know about this place because of the swings that they have out front and it's a
really cool cool beach club to hang out at i've been here before it's been really awesome but this
is my first time actually staying on the property and so i just checked in and i'm gonna give you
the highlights and you know i keep it real the low lights of staying here so let's dive in
and if you're new here i'm christine with where in the world is CL and I make travel videos every week
to help you get up get your travel so if you like to travel consider subscribing i love tulum i just
checked out of the aloft that was between tulum pueblo and tulum beach and now i'm going to spend
the rest of my trip right here on tulum beach yes with all of the seaweed for the remainder of the
week when i checked into the hotel the experience was exactly what i expected in terms of they speak
really good english they are attentive to you but i wouldn't say the hospitality is the most amazing
i didn't get the warmest welcome coming in but that's all right and when i came it was around
1 30 p.m which i knew check-in was at three they're very very strict in terms of they
don't let you get into your room until after three o'clock they were kind enough to hold my luggage
and i went out and had a bite to eat which was really freaking good at a taco place down the
street and then i came back after three o'clock so i could check in here on thank you very much
i'll see you later so i can hear the beach on the outside but this is a garden view room and it's
you have to specifically ask for two beds if you want two beds and i'm really excited because
i've been solo traveling but i'm really excited because i'm meeting up with one
of my favorite girlfriends and we're going to be we're going to be bunk beds no they're not books
wash your feet so i would say i have a couple first reactions to this room the first one is um
it's actually really really spacious which is not surprising for tulum beach but i'm really stoked
on the space but one of the things i am also stoked on is the air conditioning i can feel it
it's not running very strong i'm still you can tell i'm i'm glowing i.e this is dry
fit i'm sweating profusely right now but the air conditioning is going and it seems to be working
all right if you're getting some value out of this video be sure to cheers that like
button consider subscribing and tell me in the comments below when are you headed to tulum and
also tell me where else are you considering staying i'm always looking for inspo because
i'm already planning my trip back in a couple months so tell me in the comments let's head
outside to look at a couple of things and then we'll come back in law services on say
oh hear that there's free parking it's actually kind of nice i got my motorbike right up front
do you hear this crazy bird or bug or something
hello jungle time i will say one of the things i'm super impressed by at this place is how well the
grounds are kept they are constantly taking care of this place cleaning it breaking the
sand so it's super nice and another thing that they do especially if you're in tulum during
the summer time like i am right now the beach looks different in the wintertime last time i
was here in november december very very beautiful but if you're coming here during the summer months
that's when the seaweed comes in but one of the things about this property because they take such
good care of the grounds is they these guys are hustling hard all day all day raking the seaweed
bringing it out in wiggle barrels and taking it off of the beach and when you look it doesn't
really seem like it makes any bit of a difference but when you look at some of these drone shots i
got wow like it's making a really big difference oh i just got goosebumps these guys work so hard
and it's hot out here oh i'm watching them right now oh my gosh the biggest pro about seeing it
coco tulum aside from the location is it's it's the beach club right it's the swings that everyone
sees and all the instagram photos and it really is a beautiful space and they do have some tasty food
i sat out here and had a couple items off of the menu and it really was it was good food it
was delicious i enjoyed it and the service at the restaurant was good but come here enjoy the
swings it's beautiful and have drinks definitely definitely have drinks cocoa comes with breakfast
but it's not at cocoa it's next door at the italian place ooh they have a latin night
i feel good that even though we have our little stashed roof over here uh it seems pretty closed
off um i can feel the bugs biting my legs at the moment but hopefully won't be too much of
a problem uh i have had a lot of friends that have had problems with i you probably thought i
was gonna say mosquitoes but scorpions in their room so hopefully that's not gonna be happening
to us i thought that i found a scorpion in the bathroom but i didn't i found something
else and and then i was like oh then it's a bug or is it um it's crap there's a crap in my room
hi hi little guy uh i actually don't know what to do with him tell me in the comments below
what would you do i don't have a cup you know like to show them into the cup and then like put like a
piece of paper over the cup and put them out uh i don't know what to do with him i'm definitely
not going to kill him and you ain't going down the toilet i mean toilet paper barely goes down
this toilet oh there's a sign by the way see from the hand to the can no fleshy all right
i mean we're in the jungle like don't and i mean these things are not airtight so uh we had plenty
of cockroaches in our room so just get ready for that i'm stuck on this light that we have up here
i am not stoked about the number of outlets if you take a look around me you probably don't see
any there are two outlets in total in this room not outlet with two plugs two single outlets so
if you want to stay connected that is definitely a problem as well as i'm not even going to bother
with the wi-fi here it sucks the wi-fi at this hotel is no bueno i'm so glad i don't really
need to be connected via any kind of zoom meetings or any kind of work meetings or anything like that
so i would say the reason why i'm staying at this hotel is because of the location
this is definitely the plus about this spot it's in a really good location on tulum beach
and there's so many things to do in this area so i'm stoked to be right in the middle of the
action and on the same note i'm really glad i have my moped because yeah while there is some action
around me i still need to get around to different places if you want more suggestions on places i've
stayed at or have considered staying at i have another full video link in the description below
plus i definitely recommend the aloft hotel for a very modern experience
this is uh i kind of honestly wish i did it in reverse and first staying here and then going
and staying at the a-loft this is definitely going to be a step down an experience in terms
of the amenities in the room but that's not why i'm here i'm here for the location and i would
say in terms of price oh my gosh we are getting such a steal on this room it's 300 per night
uh with everything included in that in terms of tax and fees and things like that
for being able to stay at this property for that amount even during blow season in summer this is
not a weekend we're checking in on a sunday that's actually a really good rate i mean
what you get for it is the location so let's recap what we heard today i would say would i stay here
again honestly probably not um there's no value to be had there's definitely a really great location
but in terms of all the other beach properties especially the new ones that are opening up i was
having drinks at hotelito azul that looked really beautiful i have a full video about all the other
tulan beach hotels that i've checked out and i just i would give this one three stars and three
stars is okay that's not a bad thing it's not a great thing either but it was a fine experience
i'm neither here nor there about it the number one pro of staying in this spot is the location
although i will be honest my preference and so many of you asked me this i would stay more south
on the beach at selena or anywhere right next to there in my opinion in terms of the type of tulum
eating at the great restaurants going out at the really awesome nightclubs and going to the day
beach clubs that is where you want to be if you don't want to be messing around with the taxis all
the time or having to bike to and from or ride a scooter like i was i would rather be in that
part of the beach so i can just walk to places i would say the biggest downside of this property is
just there's no value and that's okay um i paid for the location i paid for being on the beach and
you know they have their beach club although while i was here it was never poppin there
were never people here there were never people hanging out on the beach club so
i was always having to go elsewhere so there you have it if you got some value out of this
video cheers that like button consider subscribing and go find yourself some other adventures around
