If you are staying at a hotel on the Tulum Beach Road then take a battery operated smoke detector and flashlight with you on your trip and keep it on the nightstand in your hotel room during the night.

The Tale Of The Ever Never Once there was a He of the night. Shadow of shadows, solitar step, He walked many nights to find Her. Once there was a She of the day. Twinkle of wheat, dance of light, She walked many days to find Him. They were always looking for each other, He and She. The night was always pursuing the day. They both new, She and He, the quest for what can never be found. It seemed as if it would never happen; it seenmed impossible; it seemed never ever... And then the dawn came for Him and for Her. Always, forever...

 

 

Buckle Up!

Mexico now has
a seat-belt law.

WHAT CAN I TAKE FROM MY HOTEL ROOM

By and large it depends on what is available. Budget hotels don't usually offer more than two towels, two glasses, two bars of soap and water. Some hotels provide no drinkable water to your room [you must buy it].

Boutique hotels on the cheaper side provide no more amenities than the before mentioned items. However sometimes when a larger hotel goes bankrupt their inventory of room services become available and enterprising individuals go around selling the services. These services end up in smaller hotels and sometime the services contain the entire coffee/Tea package and sometimes it is a complete bathroom service [with the bankrupt hotel's logos].

When you "rent a room", the room will contain certain things that are included in you're "rent". These items are for you to use or take with you.

The following can be used as a guide of what we found the "standard protocol" however we recommend you inquire with the hotel before removing anything you are not sure about.

Item	Can I Remove From Hotel Property?
Towels	No
Bedding	No [this includes pillows and all sheets]
Soaps	Yes
Shampoos/Bath gels	Yes
Grooming Kit	Yes
Sowing Kit	Yes
Dentistry Kit	Yes
Shower Cap	Yes
Miscellaneous Toiletries	Yes
Shoeshine Kit	Yes
Bath Robe	No
Slippers	Yes
Coffee/Tee	Yes
Pop/Juices	Yes
Beer	Yes
Snacks	Yes
Bottles of Liquor	No [you can drink it but you must leave the empty bottle in your room]
Complimentary Bottles of Alcohol/Wine/Champaign	Yes
Complimentary Fruit Basket	Yes/No [fruit yes, basket no]
Complimentary Flowers	No [you can ask, some hotels will let you have them or sell them to you]
Room Service Meal Ware & Cutlery	No
Riviera Maya Hard Cover Tourist Book	No
Pens	Yes
Writing Paper	Yes
Phonebook	No
Hangers	No
Ashtray	No [hotels do not usually charge for a missing ashtray]
Glasses	No [hotels do not usually charge for a missing glass]
Toilet paper	Yes

You cannot remove any appliances such as a coffee maker, hair-dryer, mp4, DVD, TV remote or clocks.

Ice-buckets, cushions, pillow, paintings and decorations cannot be taken.

We have never scene a "snack tray" in Mexico like in USA/Canada where there is a tray of snacks and if you take any of the snacks you are charged for them, same with liquor in the mini-fridge.

If there is liquor in the fridge it is part of your room plan.

ROOMS WITH KITCHENETTES

The do-not-take-anything rule applies to everything in a hotel room with a kitchenette.

F.A.Q.

Q: What happens if I accidentally take a towel or glass from the room? Will I be charged for it?
A: It has been our experience, [as it has happened to us that we have found face towels, spoons and glasses in the car after checking out] that hotels do not charge for this. This includes Mexican Posadas and 5 Star resorts.

Q: Do hotels really loose a lot of stuff?
A: Yes as a matter of fact they do. Towels mostly but some guests' take anything not nailed down.
