Buying a hotel lifestyle in Tulum Mexico

So I have to admit that it has always been our dream to have a hotel on the beach in a tropical country. Both my wife and I come from middle-class working families on the East Coast of the United States. We have lived about fifty years working nine to five, and we are ready to go.

We first visited Mexico in the late 1990s when, ironically, American Airlines offered a very cheap flight there for about two weeks. We seized the opportunity, they both asked for a short leave from work and we flew to Mexico simply on a whim. After seeing the people, culture, and natural beauty of the country, the fascination quickly turned into an obsession.

We have continued to go to Mexico ever since and generally target a small town called Tulum which is located near the glorified Cancun. We like Tulum for several reasons, mainly because the white sand beaches are among the best in Mexico and you rarely see anyone on them. The small and luxurious hotels that line the coast of Tulum are the perfect option for us.

So it was only recently, during one of our visits to Mexico, that we noticed a sign on one of the resorts that said, in English, Hotel for sale Tulum. Seeing this sign could have been the best thing that ever happened to us. From that moment, my wife and I got drunk with the idea of ​​becoming hotel owners, more specifically, hotel owners ‘hotel for sale Tulum’.

We asked at the Hotel for Sale Tulum sign and spoke to a nice man from the United States who listened as we told him our story. “So we were walking on the beach,” we said, “and the sign ‘Hotel for sale Tulum’ appeared to us.”

In an anticlimactic way, the hotel for sale in Tulum was well out of our price range at just five million dollars. But that did not stop our search as we searched far and wide, during many walks on the beaches of Tulum, for a new sign of our own Hotel for Sale Tulum.

And then, alas, only last May, we found it.

My wife and I decided to quit our jobs, having saved a decent amount of money by selling many of our things that were once materials we love: our cars, our little boat, our second home. We sold it all in the name of that sign: Hotel for Sale Tulum.

We moved to Tulum forever, just five months ago to begin our new life as hotel owners in Tulum. The feeling is one of release and excitement, every day we wake up to see the waves crashing near the hotel stairs. We feel absolutely comfortable meeting new guests every day and relaxing with them by the hotel pool.

Tulum is not for everyone, but for us it was a blessing. The Hotel for Sale Tulum sign certainly changed our lives as we would probably still be in the rut without it.
