Tulum and the Yucatán with children
A family of five
Cenotes, ruins and a beach house — paced for an eight-year-old.
The brief
A family wanted adventure for the older children and an easy pace for the youngest, with one long flight and no more than two hotel changes.
How we planned it
We based them in two places — a hacienda near Valladolid for the ruins and cenotes, then a beach house south of Tulum — with a private driver who knew the family-friendly swimming spots.
The trip
Twelve days, two bases and a list of favourite cenotes the children are still arguing about.

What travellers say
We gave them a month and a vague idea. They gave us the best two weeks we have ever had.
A flight was cancelled at midnight and someone answered on the second ring. That is what we paid for.
Every hotel was better than the photos, which has never happened to us before.
