What NOT to Do on Your Bachelorette Party in Tulum (Avoid These 10 Mistakes!)

1.⁠ ⁠❌ Booking Too Late
Tulum is hot — and we’re not just talking about the weather.
Villas, yachts, and top beach clubs get booked months in advance. Waiting until the last minute means fewer options, higher prices, and a stressed-out maid of honor.
✔️ Book your villa at least 4–6 months ahead, especially for high season (Dec–Apr).

 2.⁠ ⁠❌ Staying in the Wrong Area
Not all locations in Tulum are created equal. Some are too far, others too wild (or too quiet), and some are just not safe.
✔️ Choose a central, secure area like Aldea Zama — you’re close to everything and can walk or ride bikes safely.

 3.⁠ ⁠❌ Trying to Do Too Much
Yes, you want the yacht, the cenote, the brunch, the club, the yoga... but if you jam everything into 3 days, you’ll end up exhausted and cranky (not cute).
✔️ Leave space to chill. Trust us — some of the best memories happen by the pool.

 4.⁠ ⁠❌ Winging the Reservations
You can’t just show up at Bagatelle or Taboo and hope for the best. Top restaurants and clubs require reservations — sometimes weeks ahead, especially for groups.
✔️ Use your villa concierge to secure tables and skip the hassle.

 5.⁠ ⁠❌ Not Planning for Rain
Tulum is tropical — that means rain can show up suddenly, especially between June and October.
✔️ Have a backup indoor plan: spa day, chef dinner, or themed villa party.

 6.⁠ ⁠❌ Packing Heels (Seriously, Don’t)
Sand. Cobblestone. Jungle floors. High heels in Tulum = regret.
✔️ Pack cute sandals, platform slides, or barefoot-chic vibes instead.

 7.⁠ ⁠❌ Skipping Transportation Planning
Ubers don’t really exist here. Taxis can be overpriced, unreliable, or hard to find — especially late at night.
✔️ Pre-arrange private drivers or group vans through your concierge.

 8.⁠ ⁠❌ Letting One Person Pay for Everything
One person paying for the villa, dinners, and decor while waiting to be reimbursed = group drama.
✔️ Use Splitwise or a shared Google Sheet to keep it fair and transparent.

 9.⁠ ⁠❌ Not Setting a Group Budget Early
If no one talks money, things get awkward fast.
✔️ Set a group budget early on. Be honest, be respectful. Everyone will thank you.

10.⁠ ⁠❌ Trying to Plan It All Alone
You're already organizing flights, guests, surprises and payments — why also take on decor, food, activities and logistics?
✔️ Let the concierge help you.

🖤 Bonus: Don’t Forget to Enjoy It
