Blue Sky Resort on the beach 
 

Situated in the "Riviera Maya" that stretches from Cancun to Tulum, Blue Sky Resort is ideally located for a vacation. We are located at Tankah - one hour south of Cancun airport and ten minutes north of Tulum. 
Blue Sky boasts beautiful, palm lined beaches, bordered by the crystal clear waters of the Caribbean,  and a tranquil and serene atmosphere and attitude that you won't find in tourist meccas like Cancun or Cozumel.
Once you've had time to relax you may need some excitement. Just 40 minutes south of Playa del Carmen, shopping and nightlife are close at hand. Handicrafts range from fine silver jewelry to delicately embroidered clothing, carved wood and stone, hammocks, leather goods, paintings, sculptures, and more.
Or hit the beach and enjoy any water sport from windsurfing to scuba diving, jet skiing to peaceful snorkeling. Lie on the beach and tan, or dance the night away to live music at a local hotspot.
Take a short daytrip and visit Mayan ruins nestled in the jungle at Coba, or overlooking the Caribbean at Tulum. Visit the natural aquariums at Xel-Ha, or the nearby park at Xcaret.

Questions and answers
Q: I am interested in the local places to eat and spend evenings at - how far away, prices, local or touristy?
A: Eating out - Local and touristy
There is a restaurant next door from Blue Sky, their food is good and they are famous for their Sunday Barbeque.
Tulum is about a 10 minute drive from Blue Sky with many, many, many great places to eat; we will map you out our favorites.
Prices range from $5.00 to $30.00 US for a dinner.
Our favorite local Mexican joint "El Mariachi" gives you so much food you can hardly eat it all and so tasty for $40.00 pesos a person ($5.00 US).
Whatever you are looking for we have great cuisine in this area and unlimited choices.

Q: Is it calm and good for swimming, much sea weed? I look forward to hearing more about the beautiful property.
A: Blue Sky is located in a bay called Tank Ha which has a reef across the bay that acts as a breaker for the waves so the bay is very calm. The snorkeling on the reef is amazing, very healthy and alive. Our guest use the kayaks and boogie boards to get to the reef and snorkel about half a km. We have a very thick soft sandy beach, however, there is mossy rock in the ocean - and our ocean front is shallow waters and crystal clear. Bring water shoes - real cheap at Wal-Mart $5.00.
Next door at Casa Cenote Snorkeling in this fresh water spring is both refreshing and a wonderful site. The cenotes underground river ends up in the ocean in front of Casa Cenote - this is a great attraction with tons fish in shallow waters.
Hidden worlds (10 km from Blue Sky) - has underground cavern snorkeling - amazing - the IMAX movie that is out, "Amazing Caves", is filmed here at Hidden Words - awesome snorkel day or scuba dive.
Xel Ha - (6 km from Blue Sky) is a snorkel park - a bit touristy - but out of all the touristy things on this coastline it is my favorite.

Q: We are definitely in need of a quiet paradise, but like the accessibility to the adventurous activities nearby.
A: Nature - Marc and I will map out a day trip for you that will cover an amazing beach that few people know about and a couple of hidden cenotes (fresh waters springs from underground rivers). And of course we will not send you off with out a cooler full of ice and drinks :)
Great long beach walks from either direction of Blue Sky.
Coba Ruins
Tulum Ruins
Xel Ha Snorkel Park
Actun Chen - Under Ground Cavern Tour - very very interesting
Blue Sky has complementary
- 2 Bicycles
- 2 Kayaks
- Boogie boards
- Mask, snorkel & fins

Q: Do you recommend that we get a rental car, or may the areas of interest and places to eat be reached by walking or hiking?
A: Pretty much all of our guests come with a rental car, however it is possible to get by with out a vehicle. There is a restaurant next door and the rest of the restaurants are in Tulum, about a 10 minute drive. We have had guests bicycle in to Tulum and back about 10 km.
Taxi service is available to Tulum from Blue Sky is $8.00 us one way.
There are buses in Tulum that will take you to the Coba ruins (one of our favorites).
I have been hearing from our guests that they get a good deal for a rental when they book a car for a whole week. $150.00 to $200.00 US for a weekly rental. That¹s a great deal in that a car rental for one day is $64.00 US.
It really depends on the type of holiday you are planning. The guests that come without a car come to relax at the hotel. The people that come with a rental car usually plan to do something every other day and in that case a car is very useful. There is also a rental car agency in Tulum, so if you decide later in your stay you want a car for a day here and a day there it will be possible.

Clients comments
Awakening to the sound of the ocean, I lifted my head to see one of the most beautiful coastlines on Earth. Being in the Caribbean means for me, lazing about. That is what I did. I took about a half an hour to roll out of the soft cotton sheets. A very short distance to the dinning room for a carafe of fresh brewed coffee - then back to my terrace. Needless to say, I didn't leave my lounge chair for the next 2 hours. The power and tranquility of wave after wave breaking had enraptured me.  That was just a small moment of my wonderful trip to Blue Sky, but an important one. It was in that moment that I realized my shoulders had dropped about 2 inches and I had left my job and the city behind. The rest of my stay only got better.--J.
