So this year has proven to be pretty bad for the sargassum (seaweed) showing up on the beautiful beaches of the Riviera Maya. The gross brown algae turns the turquoise waters into a disgusting chocolate mess. This may discourage many of you from visiting the area, well let me reassure you, there are many fantastic substitutes for the beach in and around Tulum. Cenotes and lagoons are a welcome alternative with amazingly refreshingly clear waters and beach surroundings. We checked out Sipalitos on the Nepalitos lagoon and it was absolutely FANTASTIC. So don't let the seaweed stories deter you from booking a stay at Casa Luna del Sol!😉
