Now you know the best places to visit for your vacation in Mexico, there are a few other important things you need to know before going.

Here are the crucial things you should know before staying at party hotels and resorts in Tulum.

1. Check their event calendar – Tulum party events are often seasonal. More frequent events will be around September to March, so check with the hotel or resort event calendar for upcoming shows!
2. Book a couple months in advance – Best to book in advance for more availability on the dates you want to stay, get early bird discounts for events, and lower room prices.
3. Consider your budget – Most parties in Tulum are open to the public. It may help with your budget if you stay at a more affordable hotel and then join the hottest parties in Tulum.
4. Arrive earlier – If you are visiting a venue for the party, it is important to arrive early to avoid the traffic and the queue and save a free parking spot at the hotel.
5. Check the bill twice – beach parties can get crazy, and the staff sometimes get overwhelmed. So be sure to check your bill thoroughly before paying. It won’t hurt!

Some places are excellent for hosting private parties, especially at the beach, such as Papaya Playa Project, Azulik, and Ahau. Plus, if you stay in their guest rooms, they may offer a discount to organize a private event. On the other hand, you can also get that at places like Rosa Negra Beach Club or Taboo Restaurant & Beach Club. These are popular spots to celebrate bachelor & Bachelorette parties because there will be sparkles for surprise, attentive hostesses, and special desserts! Contact Virginia, who can help you with your booking and answer all your concerns!

Tulum has a few worthwhile inclusive resorts located 20 to 30 minutes away from Tulum town. These beachfront resorts feature luxurious rooms and different activities and are great for a family getaway! We highly recommend looking at Grand Bahia Principe Tulum, Dreams Tulum Resort & Spa, and Kore Tulum Retreat & Spa Resort (adults only). If you’re interested, learn more and Check out the best all-inclusive resorts in Tulum!

The best time to stay at a party hotel or resort is during the high seasons, September to March. This is the perfect time because many events are happening in Tulum, such as live music performances from renowned artists, various ecstatic beach parties, and zero seaweed on the beach! But, keep in mind that the general prices in Tulum may increase (in restaurants, bars, etc.), their room rates will be more expensive, and the availability of rooms to stay in will be more limited. This mainly applies to all hotels and resorts in any Tulum area, especially beachfront luxury resorts.
