Hotel Ucum

  • June 26, 2001
  • Rated 1 of 5 by maddaisy from Toronto, Ontario
Gorilla cages have better decor and fewer critters. The room we were shown to was on ground level. It had a metal door and metal walls like the shelving in a warehouse. The beds were iron and looked clean enough, but the overall impression was that the keeper was about to hose us down and toss in a handful of over-ripe bananas. The friendliest elements had several legs and antennae and ran out to greet us the moment we hit the light switch. We ran, tossing the keys at the concierge as we went, crying "NO!"

Highly recommended by the Weary Traveler people in Tulum (and they are good people to know about if only at their website. The Ucum is reasonable ($130 pesos for 1 or two people), clean, and well located downtown but on a quiet street. Hot water, extra beds, towels, drinking water. You can get TV or air conditioning if you like. 50 rooms or so front on an interior parking court, so street noise is minimal. No shower curtain but has TOILET SEAT!
Just walk out the door and turn right, at the first corner you are directly across the street from the Museum of Mayan Culture. To your left is the city park, beyond which is a market with stalls under an arcade that runs around the building. Next comes the stage and courts of the the State Fine Arts Center. At which point your are at Niñoa Heroes, the main drag. Turn left to the waterfront.
My room was on the third floor, allowing a breeze to flutter my white curtains and a view of everything in the surrounding blocks, which is to say, not much.
