Ah...My son and I used to go to Kocumel and Playa del Carmen every Christmas and rent scooters and do our own tour of the ruinas in the Yucatan.
That was when you could still climb all over the ruins at Tulum. You could get a room for the night at the Club Med at Coba for $6.00 a night.

Coba is nice, better in some ways than Chichen Itza, because it is almost completely unrestored and you have to walk down jungle paths to explore it. I don’t know about scooters on that coastal road to Tulum though. It was a crowded one lane each way death trap, and I recall a dilapidated semi ahead of me pulling out of our lane into oncoming traffic while going around a turn with “Solo dios sabe tu destino” (Only God knows your fate) written on its bumper.
