Would you change anything about this Cancun/Tulum itinerary?
Hey all, planning a trip with my cousins (5 of us, ages 21–27) from May 8–16, and wanted to sanity-check our plan before we book everything.
Biggest question: Is it a bad idea to drive from Cancun to Valladolid at night (around 7ish PM) as first-time visitors?
Flights are scattered; we all land in Cancun throughout the afternoon/evening on the 8th, and leave the morning of the 16th.
This is what we’re thinking daywise:
- land in Cancun, pick up a rental car, drive to Valladolid (late Airbnb check-in)
- chill/explore Valladolid
- Chichén Itzá + cenotes, then drive to Tulum in the evening/next morning
- Stay in Tulum 3ish days (mostly beach clubs, cafes, going out, etc.)
- Drive to Cancun, Airbnb check-in, Coco Bongo at night
- Isla Mujeres day trip, probably past noon
- fly out
other questions:
- Would it be better to stay in Cancun the first night and leave in the morning?
- Does this route make sense, or would you rearrange it?
- Too packed or pretty reasonable for almost 8 days?
We’re renting a car, budget is kinda mid (not backpacking but not luxury either), and mostly just want a mix of relaxing and going out. Open to any suggestions/changes. If something in here doesn’t make sense, feel free to call it out lol
