Long title..:)

 

I know you aren't allowed to have professional photos done at the ruins, but I LOVE the rocks and the colors of the beach near the ruins. What exactly are the restrictions in terms of having photos taken on the beach itself? I know theres plenty of beach front down the way, but I'm wondering if its possible to shoot close enough to get the ruins in the background at all? Has anyone done this and if so, what time of day? Trying to avoid crowds as I hate the idea of having a hundred looky loo's in the background.

 

Oh, this would be for a TTD shoot.

Sorry, I'm not much help. We were stopped at the ruins and weren't allowed in. We went to the nearest public beach which is about 2-3 miles down the road. I'm sure if you walked the beach you would eventually find the ruins in the background, but it's a long walk... and HOT! But, we went at 9 in the morning and the BEACH was empty. The ruins were FULL.

I also got stopped at the ruins, I had never heard you couldn't go. I changed into my bathing suit but then they wanted me to leave my dress in a locker at the front gate. But another Dreams Tulum bride managed to do it by walking in with normal clothes and changing on the beach. When I was there there were no employees anywhere near the beach.

 

I'm not sure about being able to reach the ruins from a public beach.

There is really no way to access the ruins from either direction on the public beach. That's part of what made it such a great and secure location for the original settlement.

 

I can't think of anywhere on the beach that would have a view of the ruins that is not on the government property. I have seen photos facing the ruins from a boat that looked pretty cool though.

 

What was pointed out to me once is that a lot of the people working at the ruins site are Mayan. In general they appreciate people coming to see and learn about their ancient culture, but in some ways they frown on people treating it with any perceived disrespect. It's their rules, their national treasure and it's up to us to play along with their rules.

Yup, it really is disrespectful. That's why we didn't push it with my dress. When they said no, it meant no.

I mean, wedding dresses and photos like that aren't part of the Mayan culture.

I get it, and I wouldn't want to do anything to piss anyone off. We'll be visitors after all. I just want those beautiful rocks and sand incorporated into my pics and I'll be happy. I don't especially need the ruins themselves..I just admire the beach front underneath them, so I'm basically looking for a stretch of beach that looks similar to that underneath the ruins I guess.

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
