Because of the remote nature of the Tulum hotel zone, there is no electricity, gas, telephones, or water piped in from town. We have a small generator that provides light for the reception and the restaurant-bar. We are currently designing a solar power system to provide electricity to these same areas.
Due to demand by our guests, we removed electric lighting from the cabanas during our first year, and have received many compliments since. Most guests enjoy the romantic candlelight in the cabanas. Those who like to read at night often do so in the restaurant or in our lobby. "The only thing you have to get used to is remembering where you put your things before the sun goes down as there is nothing but candlelight after sunset."
Gas tanks are brought in to heat water for the bathrooms, and bath water is brought from town in trucks. This well water is stored in ground-level tanks and pumped several times a day to upper tanks to provide running water in all bathrooms. Water pressure may not be as strong as you are used to at home, and the water quality may vary from what you are used to. In an effort to conserve water, we request that guests not wash clothing in their rooms. There are several laundromats in town that can wash and dry your clothes for you with a 24 hour return.
Since the cabanas are tucked between tropical palm trees in the jungle at the edge of the Caribbean Sea, this creates for an intimate relationship with nature and all of its creatures. Iguanas sunbathe just steps from the cabanas. Hermit crabs trace patterns in the sand floors of the cabanas with common baths. "Take note and realize that if you're at all adverse to wildlife...ie. iguanas, or geckos... mosquitos... hermit crabs... etc... this probably isn't the place for you...there were geckos in our cabana and iguanas out in the pathways... they were soooo cute though...."
Some guests may get the chance to see raccoons or even a tejan, a native animal that resembles a badger. Although all animals flee from the sight of humans, we request that food not be stored inside the cabanas, as curiosity and hunger can override fear and make for some unexpected roommates, such as small field mice.
