A couple of miles outside Tulum, alone on the pristine Bahía de Punta Soliman, is this wonderful palapa restaurant with a sand floor. The seafood is excellent here, although a bit pricey; Lalo's Special, a dish made with local lobster, shrimp, conch, fish, barracuda, and chicken fajitas, prepared for 2 to 10 people, is a standout. The ceviche made of fresh fish, lobster, and caracol with citrus juice is also exceptional. The beachfront here is picture perfect. If you're inspired to sleep on the beach, there are campsites with clean showers and bathrooms. RVs are also welcome, though there aren't any hookups.
