Tulum has two sides. The beach road (Carretera Tulum–Boca Paila) is lined with eco-chic boutique hotels and cabañas on the sand, up to the Sian Ka’an reserve. Tulum town and the Aldea Zamá area between town and beach have cheaper hotels, condos and the best local restaurants. North of Tulum, small hotels line the quiet bays of Tankah and Soliman, and large resorts such as Hilton Tulum and Conrad Tulum sit at Chacalal, closer to Cancun. Tulum is the furthest of the main destinations from Cancun Airport, about 1.5–2 hours by road; the new Tulum Airport (TQO) is another option.
