EJT Travels... Tulum

On a recent trip to Mexico, a few of us took a day trip to, much buzzed about, Tulum.  
The area is filled with charming boutique hotels, restaurants serving fresh local cuisine, and chic shops filled with local designers mixed with contemporary finds.
Here is a little synopsis of our day in Tulum:

First stop: Lunch at Posada Margherita.  One might say, an Italian restaurant in Mexico? But, the food was simply delicious - I recommend their fish of the day, simply poached in olive oil and garlic, with fresh tomatoes.



The walk from the street entrance is lined with tiny houses for hotel guests.
Along this path is also the hotels boutique, LOL.  Some recognizable items, such as Ancient Greek Sandals and Caroline K tunics, but some rare designs as well - Yvonne S kaftans and Gigi Clozeau to name a few.  


Every seat is a good seat!

After lunch, more shopping.  La Troupe, a bohemian oasis is filled with beautiful embroidered shirts, bags and pillow cases.  







My favorite stop of the day: Coqui Coqui.
The much publicized boutique hotel (it has only 7 rooms!) was simply stunning.  


Parking for your car in Tulum is tricky, due to the very narrow single street, but bike parking is plentiful!



Stone entry to the Hotel.



View from drinks on the beach.


The Boutique! Filled with Coqui Coqui perfumes, candles, and accessories.
