Blue Tulum Resort - Suite

Tulum, known as the ecotourism capital of Mexico, has beach resorts that run on solar and wind power and utilize recycled rain water. Unfortunately, the one we were to inspect was closed so instead, we stayed at an all-inclusive mammoth resort called Blue Tulum. Take a look inside our suite.
