“Hotel El Capitan strikes me as a practical choice in Tulum, balancing proximity to town and the beach via the local bike path. While a small detail, the lack of shade at the pool could limit midday enjoyment, but the clean rooms and helpful staff stand out. I'd consider this a solid option for travelers prioritizing location and value.”
