Papaya Playa Project, Villa Pescadores, and tacos at La Eufemia — a no-frills waterfront taco joint that lets you hang out all day.
For drinks: Gitano (Tulum Beach), Pasito tun tun (Tulum Town), Batey (Tulum Town), and Arca (Tulum Beach).

Temazcal — traditional Mexican steam bath. Many hotels and spas offer it including Azulik, Yaan, and Ahau.
