We got caught in the rain that day, so it wasn't the greatest experience but we had a blast in the cenotes. It's like a total different world down there. The staff is really friendly, the only thing I can say was a bad thing, and not really bad, but hoping they can address the issue is that the life jackets we rented reak bad. Pretty cool place to spend the day with friends and family.

There are no words when it comes to this place so it’s ok to leave your mouth hanging open; just don’t forget to close it when swimming lol. My group was blessed by a local shaman and then allowed to enter the sacred Cenote. I had never done something like this before, and it was awe-inspiring how majestical this wondrous place is. I hope I get to visit again one day! 🌎🤩✨ (Part of the Chichén Itzá por XCaret package)

coming from cenote suytun here with zero expectation, i was blown away when i entered the cenote with the sunlight shining through the hole.. very nice and beautiful! it was a 12pm friday and not a lot of tourists here, less than 5 people for each cenote.. totally worth the experience.. my only comment is the guy who followed me kept asking for tips, i tipped him 20 pesos..

Wonderful surprise! We had no expectations, but we went at the opening (around 8:30am) and there was nobody, so we took amazing photos and it is possible to swim. Definitely worth it, especially because a local guide leads you to the other adjacent Cenotes like Dzinup. After my trip i would say that a visit is mandatory!!!

Nice cenote. Less people than other touristic ones. Clear water ! Can recommend

Beautiful cenote. Quit dark, let your eyes get used to the darkness. I was there at 10.30am and there was no body else! The water is cristal clear. For both the Samula and Xkeken cenote you pay 226 pesos, a very good price! Very good facilities; showers, toilets and dressing rooms. Also tiny black fishes swimming around. It's a magical cenote!

Super nice experience. Decent entry fee for what you get. Lovely people working for tips (they come to you as guides but you most likely don't need one). The bathrooms and changing rooms at xkeken were the nicest I've seen in the country so far. 2 cave pools for the price of one (200MXP). New fresh life vests. Quite a lot of freedom to enjoy the place and no time limit.

Absolutely stunning private art collection of an American couple, who made their private house into a museum. You can visit with a very interesting guided tour, no tickets or reservation needed, only 100 pesos/person donation which goes to local charity. Loved it, thank you! 😍

Totally worth the visit if you are in Valladolid! This is a private collection of over 3,000 pieces of Mexican folk art from different states of Mexico. Every inch of the house is filled with incredible works of art. Since this is a private house, you have to arrive for one of the guided tours, you can not enter the house freely. There are 5 guided tours daily. One tour for sure starts at 1pm, but I did not catch the start times for the other tours of the day. A donation of 100 pesos/5 US dollars is collected at the end of the tour.

Incredible and amazing collection, so glad we fit this visit into our time in the lovely town of Valodolid. Not only is the collection spectacular the connection to the local community is heartwarming, all donations go to local charities .I hope to return to Casa de los Venados many times and share this experience with friends and family when doing so.

About an hour tour in this quirky house full of Mexican folk art. David speaks perfect enough and gave us a good idea of what the house is like and some interesting facts about the art. $100 suggested donation at the end.

Sergio was the most wonderful friendly and knowledgeable guide. We really enjoyed our visit around the house and appreciated that we were allowed to wander and ask as many questions about the pieces of art as we wanted. We felt very fortunate to be only a group of 4 people in total, as Sergio mentioned it can get very busy which I imagine would change the experience.

A must visit if you are in Valladolid and interested in Mexican craftmanship. Tours run daily at 10, 11:30, 13, 14 and 15. A contribution of 100 pesos is suggested but not compulsory, and will be directed to local charities. Including a couple of pictures to give an idea but won't spoil the surprise with the best gems :)

Amazing!!!! I have my doubts at first, but it was an incredible surprise!! Totally worth the visit, for 5 usd donation. I will come back.

The price at the front gate is 150 pesos which includes the life jacket. The price is NOT 300 pesos and the life jacket is NOT extra. Careful of the gatekeeper.

Value for money At €.60 per person, children half price including life jackets, toilet. Definitely value for money. I'm sure the other centres around valladolid are beautiful too, but most being around 350 pesos can't justify the prices. Not crowded, cool and refreshing l. Well worth the visit!

It's a very nice place. My wife and I arrived at 9:30am and were the first people there. We paid 150 pesos each, which included entry and a life vest. It's compulsory to wear the life vest when swimming. The water was lovely and very refreshing. There is a great jumping platform for anyone who dares. It's a good way to start your day.

Perfect hideout in the city of Valladolid, to remove yourself from the streets, and the heat of day. Convenient to everything, just a short walk from downtown, this oasis is lush, serene with deep green cool water. Dive in, jump in or just float your cares away. Its the best peso you will spend in the city. Suspend time in this tranquil location.

Good price for what you get. Today they decided to close early at 16h20 (it says they close at 17h00). Plan accordingly. I’ve been to dirtier and cleaner cenotes. The convenience of having it this close to the centre is great. A fun 15-20 foot jump off you can use as well, you do unfortunately always have to wear a life jacket, thankfully it comes with the ticket.

Awesome experience at zaci senote. Many mentioned all good things. In downtown valladolid, super cheap to enter, only 60 pesos. Its half open so sun can get in and you can hide from the sun if its super hot. 5-6 meter jump platform is very cool. You dont see that very often. Can get crowded but they limit the amount of people that can get it. Very cool experience with lots of locals. I’ll definitely come back when next in town

Loved this half open Cenote in the city that is wildly easy to access and inexpensive. Feels a bit artificial (the water for the waterfall comes from a visible pipe). The 3 meters platform to jump from is challenging and fun, possibly slightly dangerous if you end up landing wrong. Lifevest is required and that rule is enforced. The shops nearby have better quality products than we've seen elsewhere.

The place is amazing by itself, it's huge! Part of the main structure is still covered and some areas are well preserved. Two main parts on the side are still covered by jungle. Unfortunately had a bad experience with the guide. First they tell you a price and a different one at the end. Be aware of that! Everything else was good.

Very cool ! Great that you can walk on it and that they permanently work on it. Great view over the jungle. Great to see how they are treating their dogs! 581 Pesos perPerson +100 Pesos for parking Definitely worth it if you like temples. Sweaty of course but you get your great view as a reward. 32m height🤝

We actually loved the experience. We didn't take a guided tour but there was so much information on the signes at the site. We also used gpt to fill in the story. Plus, roaming there int the jungle was a fun experience, there weren't a lot of people so we got really nice pictures. And the best part is that you can climb all the buildings and imagine you're a Mayan for a second 😉. Plus the view is amazing. We have been to Chichén Itza the day before and the experience there was a lot less authentic. There isn't a lot of information and it's much pricier. Plus there are soany people and no option to climb or even get near the buildings.

This was an amazing site to visit! We went with a tour company and saw Chichen Itza first, then to Ek Balam, and the differences were interesting. Ek Balam was not busy at all compared to Chichen Itza, and you actually got to climb up the main temple and several other structures, which isn't allowed at the more famous ruins. Highly recommend! checking it out!!

Ek Balam is hands down the BEST Mayan ruins we have been to. Better than Cobs better than Tulum ( by far) I'm not a historian or huge fan of ruins, but I really enjoyed this place. Suggest getting a paid tour guide who can tell you about the very interesting history. The site is 9 meters higher than Chitchen Itza AND you can still climb to the highest point on many of the ruins. skip the crowds at Chicken itsa....this is waaaay better. Plus be sure to bring your swim suits because they have 4 beautiful cenotes to swim in around nearby. Make a whole day of it and you won't be sorry.

Nice! You get to experience some Maya ruins without the trouble of too many other tourists if you go early or late enough. And for now there is also the option to go on top of some of the buildings. You can't go inside or in top of everything but still more than at othe sites. Go here if you want to have an interactive Maya experience. Also not a lot of vendors. Pleasent experience!

Similar to Chichen Itza, but not as much excavated. The ruins are fantastic. Totally amazing, and worth the time and effort. If you are going on your own (not as part of tour), know that like all of the other archeological sites, there are 2 ticket/entrance fees. One is the actual ticket price, which can be purchased with a credit card. The other fee is the Mexican government fee, which must be paid in cash- pesos only so make sure you have plenty of pesos. No restaurants or any actual food here, but small snacks and drinks are available. You don't need a tour guide, but if you want one they are available. The tour guides here are not even 10% as pushy as the guides at Chichen Itza- they were very low key here, and not aggressive at all. We said no thanks, and that was that.

Off the beaten track but no problems getting there with a car. Arrived around lunchtime, a few people were just leaving and we the place to ourselves. The Cenote itself is pretty awe inspiring. Access by stairs or a 20m abseil. My son was very nervous about the rope descent but we went down side by side on two ropes and the staff were friendly and considerate. Water is pretty nippy but you get used to it. Variety of zip lines and platforms to jump in from. Overall brilliant experience and well worth the money. Also had the buffet food, nothing fancy but perfectly good. 490 mxn each inclusive.

This cenote is absolutely worth a visit. We came in low season and had the cenote with its fun activities to ourselves for around an hour. If you enjoy an adrenaline kick, the Rappel from approx. 20m is a fun thing to do. There is also a zip line and different platforms to jump from. The staff was super helpful and friendly. During our stay they were building another zip line for kids. The fact that there were no hammocks as promoted and no restaurant service did not bother us much as we enjoyed the tranquility which you find there compared to other very busy cenotes.

Beautiful place, with very good food, the cenote is incredible and is the largest I have seen in my life, the rappelling is very fun along with the zip lines and large green areas to walk, highly recommended

Beautiful cenote turned into a bit of a Disneyland type attraction. $49 US to enter (includes rappelling into it, zip lining inside and food, $39US without food). No cameras allowed so you will pay $30US to $60US to get the pictures they take of you inside. If you want the same type cenote without rappelling and zip line for $5US (100 pesos) go to cenote X’ux Ha. You can take all the pictures you want there.

The best day of our entire trip was visiting this cenote! Repelling into the water was amazing, the staff were wonderful, the food was great - everything was awesome!

We happened upon this Cenote the day after hurricane Grace blew through and fortunately they were open. Between the zip line, rappelling, and snorkeling in the Cenote, I think I enjoyed rappelling down into the Cenote the best.

awesome place for a swim, a little more expensive than the option we were looking at paid 150 pesos as opposed to 80 for ik kil..

This is a cool spot, a cenote that is completely covered underground. you descend into the cenote by a spiral staircase, and there are jumping pointds at about 5 and 8 meters up the stairs. the colour of the water is a lovely bright blue, and it was lit by a floodlight. nice setting.

Super cool ambiance with crystal clear water jumping platforms and bads in the air.

Fantastic cenote. We went before the tours from Coba arrived, at around 12 o’clock, and we were the only people there! There is a 5m and 10m diving board if anyone is feeling brave enough!

Nice cenote with really deep water. It's almost uncomfortable to swim above the depth sometimes, even though you can still almost see the bottom - or maybe that's why :) It's one of the bigger ones, so it's very easy to swim in. What's unique about it are the two jumping platforms from which you can dive into the water. However, being wimps, we didn't jump in. There are very few people in it, we were alone most of the time, so you can fully enjoy the majesty of the cave. Entrance was still 100 pesos and vests were optional.

Stunning. Bats, fish, 5m jumping board. Wow Arrived at 9am only people in it, amazing experience.

I was genuinely scared because this place feels very spooky but after 30 min or so, I started loving it. Super calm and quiet Cenote, we were mostly alone (1 other couples) however when tour bus arrives , it gets super crowded. Shower and toilet in place but no lockers. The entrance is 100 MXP and if you want life jackets that is 50 pesos extra.

Fantastic experience! Spiral staircase to descend is a little dated, but sturdy. The view and water is stunning. The water is extremely clear. Was told the depth of the cenote is about 45 feet. Very much worth the stop. They have bathroom changing areas as well, and life jackets to rent.

Not well maintained, the bicycles were nice. Infrastructure needs work. Take your own water, bug sray, and a towel. It is hot and pure jungle, of course. Entry was $150 pesos. Guide offered for 1000 pesos. We declined.

This place is full of ancient ruins, when you reach the place park your car to the closest park to the gate, it is the cheapest one. You will need about 2 hours to finish the tour. You can higher one of the guides there to have some fun learning about the Mayans. The views are beautiful on the ocean. You will find a lot of iguanas and some colored lizards 🦎. I personally liked the decending God illustration, the feet towards heaven and the head on the ground. A bird like a peacock 🦚 followed us for about 5 minutes, it didn't heart but we didn't know why. I included his photo. Don't forget always to take water with you. The people are so peaceful.

This place was amazing and our Mayan guide was very thorough with the history and the facts. We learned a lot from him, he was amazing, and our bicycle taxi person was so respectful when we had to get on and off, being two senior ladies. The weather was perfect, and they have a public bathroom outside of the ruins, so make sure to use it before you enter. They do have two entrance fees one for parking and one for the entrance fee.

This is a must do while in the vicinity. We have been back twice in two years, and every time we become more educated on what life was like an ancient times. If you are lucky enough to have Pedro as your tour guide, you will be enchanted by his storytelling of the Mayan people in life in Coba. Plan to spend a long time so you can sit quietly and peacefully among the place and listen for wildlife. We were lucky enough to see wild turkeys, iguanas, and several varieties of birds. Definitely rent bikes, but make sure they fit you well as they can become uncomfortable quickly as we learned that day.

What an incredible place to visit!! I’m told it’s a less popular spot to view the ruins and I cannot see why. The entry fee is very reasonable and we got a private guide which we also found very reasonable! Pedro was very informative, had great stories, and visuals. He was great with my son as well, keeping him engaged and telling age appropriate versions of the history. We HIGHLY recommend the bikes to see the second part of the site. We had so much fun riding them and I think we saw a lot more with their use. We were all thrilled to see the snack shack near the “Big Hill.” It was a little under construction when we visited in July, and I’m excited to see the improvements they are making!! I wish I could donate money to them so they could rebuild more buildings!! 6000 buildings are scattered throughout the site - but the cost is so high to uncover and maintain. And one of our favorite meals was at the restaurant that sits right outside the gates!! Restaurante Xaibe. Fabulous Sopa de Lima, handmade tortillas, and Mayan style pork!

Great ruins, love the history. It is so nice to go to a heritage site and not be mobed by venders trying to sell over priced items. You muat go to Coba!

This was one of my favorite attractions in the Yucatan area. We got a personal guide and the experience was great. The Coba ruins is HUGE and many parts have not yet been excavated and restored yet. Our guide explained that Coba is like a Mayan highway where people from different areas come to meet and trade. Aside from temples, there are also other structures like gaming areas and many tablets that helped illuminated the Mayan culture, including tablets that mentioned some powerful women rulers as well as the end of the world story.

We had a fantastic tour here with Julio as our guide. He expertly walked us through the reserve and we spotted numerous Spider Monkeys and a family of Howler monkeys. We learned so much and Julio, being a local, was a font of knowledge. Our walk took us down to the lake which was beautiful and tranquil. My wife and I would highly recommend Punta Laguna. It is a totally more real experience than Xcaret and we were privileged to see the monkeys in their natural habitat. The trek was great value for money, 1,300 MX$ for the 2 of us, but card payments are not possible, only cash.

Very authentic 2h jungle tour in a monkey preserve provided by local mayans. Very few tourists, plenty of flora and fauna to witness here. If you like authenticity, this is the real deal in Yucatan! Just get there by car and ask for a guide at the entrance to give you a private tour. They will spot monkeys for you to observe and to take pictures. Cash only!!!

The photos I have shared here are from 2002, over 2 decades ago. The dock has been completely redone since then. When it comes to wild nature, Punta Laguna Nature preserve is some of the best jungle for beauty and zoology that our planet has to offer. I was part of a group called Summer Program in Tropical Conservation (SPTC) led by primatologist Dr. Michael Periera and Laura Vicke in 2002 in Punta Laguna. The purpose of the program was to explore botanical (medicinal tree identification), primatology (spider monkeys), native language (Spanish speaking), cultural interaction with Indigenous mayans (played football with the local Mayans, dined with them, and shared life experiences with them), and archaeology (Mayan ruins were near our campsite and we went to the surrounding ruins) - and establishing a reliable jungle trail mostly around our base, but as a circumference around the lagoon as well. Not only was there no zipline nor any of the other tourism there, back then, what is now called "Punta Laguna Monkey Reserve" was not a tourist attraction back in 2002, over two decades ago. Although it was not a full-fledged tourist attraction back then, travelers occasionally appeared at the dock overlooking the lagoon (near where we had our tent site) because they had heard it was a worthy visit. I am excited to see that today, still this magical and pristine place is held in high regard by visitors. Back in the the ealry 2000s, we actually used machetes and gps to map out and make trails at the Punta Laguna reserve. I lived on the reserve for the summer of 2002 in the Yucatan for the summer I began college. Punta Laguna was one of the best experiences of my life. Most every day, I would have coffee in the very early morning in the palapa (main grass-hut house) after sleeping in my tent and the local Mayans (with whom we played soccer with on "la concha" the concrete slab which I am not sure is still there) cooked us dinner each night. I learned the local botany by studying trees and helped two PhD scientists research the indigenous spider monkeys, all while carving out trails in the jungle - the trails that began laid the foundation for the small tourism sight-seeing, ziplining thing that's going on there today. I am not claiming to be "founder of Punta Laguna tourism". The mayans are the founders of Punta Laguna if anything! Part of our Summer Program in Tropical conservation group was to energize the socio-economy of that area. My favorite parts of the experience were the long jungle hikes while creating fresh trials, the strong connection with Nature, the long sweaty, rewarding, exercise-filled days of botany, science, primatology, anthropology, Spanish speaking, and a lot of science. Because Punta Laguna one of the most beautiful jungles on our planet, let's keep Punta Laguna Nature Preserve for its beauty, rich ecology, zoology, cultural significance, and cultural heritage site status!

Great nature preserve with a lot of active howler and spider monkeys. Mayan ruins jungle and a large beautiful lake. Local guide was very knowledgeable and helpful.

Did the full experience. Jungle walk saw spider and howler monkeys. Zipline and canoe. Mayan smoke ceremony. Finally cenote. One of the highlights of our trip to Mexico. Guide was excellent.

Punta Laguna reserve was an amazing experience. Our guide, Jesus, went above and beyond to ensure we had a magical time. We saw spider monkeys, howler monkeys, a snake and even a tarentula. After our tour, including a private cenote and zip line we had time to swim in the Laguna with our two kids. If you come to the Yucatan region, this adventure is a must! We couldn’t recommend it more!

Highly recommended! Great tour and great guides! We saw several spider monkeys from close distance - so cute!😊 Also the cenote is very impressive.

This is a very nice cenotes if you’re in between picking which one to visit. It’s beautiful experience that everyone who visits Mexico should try out. They provide life jackets and snorkeling gear(at an added cost of course) it’s truly is one of nature’s treasures.

Nice place, for sure needs to be visited, but if you don’t get the full package I am not so sure it is worth the price… (for how long we stayed). You can enjoy the very clean water and be immersed in nature, but the fact that you can’t use mosquitos repellent makes it hard to stay around outside of the water, so 2 hours maximum staying is enough for the basic package.

Beautiful scenery and amazing crystal clear water! Bear in mind that you most likely need a car to get there. Once you pay (300pesos), it's a 4km drive to the parking and a couple minutes walk to the actual cenote. Lifevests are mandatory and free. Definitely a must add to your Mexico Itinery 🇲🇽❤️

Such a great experience! Beautiful water with a swing to get into the water. Perfect temperature with some fish and the caves pockets had some baby bats too. Just an awesome way to spend a day!

This cenote has 2 entrances and a bat cave. You enter into the park, buy tickets (several options for the surrounding cenotes and tours). Life jackets are required. I would budget 2-3 hours for exploring Dos Ojos (not including the surrounding cenotes if you bought tickets for those). They accept cards for entrance fees. The road is a little rough terrain.

Excellent experience. You can get a guide and go down under for $800 or just swim and explore for $400. We did the e explore and enjoyed fully.

Too expensive for what it is. There are better cenotes. Still very nice to swim around

This place is AMAZING! You do have to drive down a long dirt path (so be prepared) lol but it is worth it! The cave tour was very interesting and the cenote is something out of a dream! Crystal clear blue waters and beautiful rock cave formations. All the workers are so nice!!!! 🩷 Also, They have the cutest spider monkeys!! We wanted to come back the next day just to see them again, adorable!

Our visit to Aktun Chen was an experience that truly took our breath away. It's hard to describe how incredibly beautiful and peaceful this place is. It made us stop and think — how amazing and fragile our world is. Our guide was absolutely wonderful — he spoke with such love and deep respect for nature, explaining the formation of each stalactite and stalagmite like telling a sacred story. You could feel his passion and how important it is to preserve this natural wonder for future generations. Swimming in the cenote inside the cave was magical — the water was cool and clear, and the atmosphere was calm and spiritual. Thank you to the whole Aktun Chen team for such a meaningful and emotional experience. We’ll never forget it!

It’s worth the trip and the hiking is not difficult. Be prepared to need to duck down as you enter the cave as it is low for the first 10-20 meters but almost all of the rest is a comfortable height and not too many stairs.

Pretty spectacular place. Went on a rainy day so perfect for a cave cenote. 4 stars because the pricing looks like they change it. 650 mxn per person just for the cenote. Expect to pay per activity And We got there too late to do the other activities. At 340 pm we paid for the cenote they told us they close at 530. At 445 they were trying to say they were closing at 5pm. We stayed until 518. But they cut the WiFi off at 510pm and all the workers started leaving. No transportation back to reception We had to wait for our ride for 25 minutes with no WiFi hoping they would find us at the cenote instead of at reception Wasnt a great way to end our experience negotiating the time we paid for and WiFi to get picked up.

We had an amazing experience with our tour guide, Victor. He is very knowledgeable, speaks five languages, and has an incredibly positive attitude. We highly recommend visiting this park to everyone who loves nature on the Yucatán Peninsula.

Amazing experience and the staff were amazing! Learned so much about the local fauna and the history of the site! Highly recommend!!!

Lovely day in the amazing cenote Jaimie was a great guide for our group. Very knowledgeable

Entrance is 140 pesos now and you will be harassed by so called ‘information’ and ‘bay patrol’ guys every 5 minutes. Just go to the Lol-Ha cafe to have breakfast and have a look at the beach before and after. It’s not a nice bay anymore, it’s full of snorkel / dive boats, full of sea weed and most of all full of lines with buoys that help snorkel guide chase turtles in groups of 12 (!!!). Any many groups at the same time. If you want to snorkel yourself, you can in the first 20 meters, you can spot a turtle in that under water grass as well. Just enjoy it from a distance. And for really nice reef snorkelling, go somewhere else.

Did a wonderful snorkeling tour here. Good to know: Entrance to the beach is 140 pesos, cheaper for children. This fee is for the lockers, changing rooms, showers etc. The sign at the ticket office explicitly says you don't need a tour to enter the beach. There is a route made through the water with ropes which I believe most tours were following. You just swim it with your guide (I believe swimming vests are mandatory). We got to see 5 Turtles, some Stingrays, different types of fish and the reef. The beach itself is pretty rocky, so not ideal for a real Beach day. You can park about 100m from the entrance for 100 pesos.

The fact that literally all the beach altough offers no actual amenities is paid…is so sad…you are not even allowed to a certain point where the turtles are without paying for a guide…. Locals told me that used to be actually public/ free but not anymore…

Really enjoyed this clean and safe beach. It has a nice atmosphere - lively enough to feel fun, but not chaotic. A small tip for anyone visiting: if you don’t want to pay the 120 MXN access fee, walk straight down Calle 16 to the very end. You’ll reach a car park, just walk through the grounds and past the pool, and you’ll end up right on the beach.

Ok I read the reviews about how the turtles are being exploited and was skeptical at first but they actually look pretty relaxed and unbothered, they look clean and not filled with barnacles. The guide leads you to where they are and points some other marine life. I had a fun experience here! I had a private tour just myself and paid 30$. I looked online and usually they charge 45$ per person. It was fine by me since I had the solo attention of the guide. Me and my husband went around 10am ish and went to Lo-Ha restaurant this way we didn’t need to pay for beach access since my husband is not into beaches. We ordered drinks and lunch. While waiting I walked around the beach and there were a couple of guides that offered tours. So you can pick and think about it. You don’t need to buy it in advance since there are an abundance of guides at the beach area. My guide took care of me, he had new snorkels, I let him pull me a bit since he had fins and I didn’t. They all have floatation devices for safety. But I saw different sizes of turtles, and blue fish, squid, rays, even a ships cannon from the Spanish era. All in all it was a good experience. If you want to swim with the turtles I say go for it! Oh and parking is 100$ there’s a lot to your right that will say the price, and they will give you a ticket.

We came here on Thursday, November 6, 2025 and snorkeled with the turtles and the fish. The water was very warm, the weather was great! Our tour guide, from Cancun Adventures, who was with us all day, showed us around and she was really awesome! Although there was less fish than I expected and I couldn’t get any photos, it really was awesome to see! (Written 11-16-25)

Highly scammy - “impossible to swim without a guide”. The “guides” costs 700 pesos per person and you go in groups of 12. We looked from the beach and the waters were packed with people and boats. Much better options going somewhere else.

The snorkeling in lagoon was very cool. The food was subpar and not good. The service at restaurant was lacking. We did rent a palapa and enjoyed it. The ceviche Vallarta was not good. My child said chicken nuggets were mushy inside. French fries good. Crowded in opening with tours, after tours left in afternoon a lot more pleasant. There were hammocks in our palapa that we enjoyed. Make sure you eat well before you get there, as the food service was not good. They do not allow you to bring your own food. They need more help in restaurant.

We rented the Casa Laguna adjoining this lagoon and it was amazing to explore the place at different times of the day. Around 5-6pm is the best time of day, we experienced at least 7-8 full schools of different fish and they were much more in the open than during the morning or midday times. One of the highlights of our trip to Akumal for sure, highly recommend this experience and this casa was wonderful!

This is a place you want to visit because it located in a beautiful and connects to the ocean. The water is pretty and landscape also. There is no overhead canopy cenotes, they all open so great for kids. Buy tickets there, cheaper.

A very beautiful cenote. I loved it. It's a good choice since I've visited several. Even though it's an open saltwater cenote, it's still an excellent place. There's a variety of tropical fish and small animals.

Our friend advised us this lagoon. The earliest you get in, the better it is so you can enjoy being almost alone there. It is quiet, chill, and you can actually see a lot of fishes. The snorkeling area is quite vast so you can wander around and contemplate the underwater world with lots of space to explore. The water is very nice, considering its not possible to swim anywhere else in the Sargassum period ! An oasis of quietness and finally, swimming possibility for us ! 🙏 (We went there middle of August). You can hang around, lie in hamacs and sleep… we stayed here all day, enjoyed the sun and the nature surrounding us. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. 👍

Super cool! Not a lot of people and lots of fish to see snorkeling!

The lagoon is beautiful! I highly recommend getting there early. Around 11 it started to get busy, and it became a little crowded. The water was clear and cool, and fish were plentiful! We rented gear from the front desk, and the masks were the full face snorkel masks that tend to fog up a lot. The current is strong to the right of the entrance, towards the ocean. Life jackets are required but weak swimmers be careful!

Secreto Rio was such a very cool experience. The underground cave system (not a cenote!) is absolutely stunning, and the whole adventure feels peaceful, magical, and well organized. Our guide was very nice and knowledgeable. The underground river and cave areas were very unique. The only downside (and why I didn’t give a full 5 stars) is that no cameras are allowed, and the photo package they sell is quite expensive. It’s a bit disappointing since you want to capture those memories, but it still doesn’t take away from how incredible the place is overall. The meal at the end was delicious too. Definitely worth visiting!

A hidden gem. This experience is a life-changing event. The natural wonder that is this cave and underground river are demonstrated beautifully by the wonderful team of tour guides, staff, and photographers. Shout out to Pato our photographer for taking his time to curate perfect romantic pictures of me and my wife. He truly went above and beyond to make our trip memorable. The beauty of the cave leaves one speechless. I can not put together enough adjectives to describe how mesmerizing. 11/10 recommend.

Rio Secreto was hands down the highlight of my trip to Mexico! It’s honestly one of the most beautiful and surreal places I’ve ever seen. Walking and swimming through the crystal clear caves felt otherworldly. Our guide Gustavo was amazing, funny, patient, and made the experience feel really special. The photographs turned out fantastic I will just share a couple here. If you do one excursion while you’re in Mexico, make it this one. You won’t regret it.

The caves were so beautiful and our guide Felipe clearly loved his job and even answered my son’s million questions with pleasure. The food at the end was so-so. But the overall experience is so worth it, it’s a wonder of nature!

Great guides! I had a wonderful time and I highly recommend visiting the crystal cavern excursion! I loved swimming in the beautiful water and seeing the tiny shrimp and little bats.

Second time visiting Rio Secreto and it was just as good as the first. This time we did the plus option and the zip lines were a blast! Rapelling into the cave was super fun as well. Our guide David was fantastic and made it a real fun adventure for us and our kiddos.

Amazing place. The underwater caverns were mesmerizing, there are different circuits and we got so much fun. There is a buffet at the end of the excursion wich was okay after the adventure. Highly recommended.

We had a great time. All the activities are great. The food was great we got there super early so the entering process was very quick. Recomended doing the most popular activities first or while everyone is at lunch. The only thing was we bought the picture package but we did not receive all our pictures. We got sent pictures of people we did not go with, so we are try to see if we can receive the pictures that we bought but we're not sent. Apart from that can't wait to go back but at night ☺️👍🏽

My friends and I booked in advance to take advantage of the discount. We were lucky that it was rainy, so we didn't get sunburn or need sunscreen, but we didn't get to do all the activities as they were full (amphibious vehicles and river rafting). Some lines were longer than others, but we still had a good time. The food at the restaurant was terrific, and you could eat as much as you wanted. The staff at the park were friendly & amazing. The only suggestion I have is that the helmet needs to be cleaned as they smelled sweaty, some more than others. If you're going, wear a bonnet or a swim cap. Prices are expensive, so consider purchasing a waterproof phone pouch before your visit. It may not be necessary, as you should not have anything on you for most activities (park rules). However, I would advise that you take the photo package; it's worth it.

This park is absolutely incredible. Even moving from one attraction to another feels magical — you’re basically traveling through underground caves the whole time. The ziplines are the most fun: seven different lines, thrilling but not too extreme, so most people can handle them. The ATV vehicles are also a must-do, and the underground river swim and exploration are amazing as well. It’s definitely one of the best theme parks in the world.

I went to the park with my family including 8 and 11 year old kids. We enjoyed every activity and it took >6 hours to do everything, including lunch, once. Favourate was the 5-in-1 tube ride. Most fun was the amphibious vehicle on 2 tracks. Unexpected wow was the underground river to wade and then swim along. 4 stars as many things were good and a few things great.

This park was awesome! We spent a whole day at xplore Park and still do not have enough time to do all the different activities. We started the day at 9:00 (drove a rental car here from Cancun and there was enough parking). Check-In was easy cuz we got there before the buses so the lines weren't too long. I strongly recommend looking online a week before so you can have a discount and also purchase the photo package add-on. Who did the ziplines first, but honestly the lines lines for the zip line circuit never got that long throughout the whole day. Longest wait was for the giant slide, but that was only about 30 minutes, I decided to do it twice during our day. The way the park is set up, it is fairly easy to leave things in the locker and each time you finish a circuit you can access anything you need. I found the different activities in the cenotes very fun, but next time I think I will split it up and do the giant slide or the zip lines in between the difference cenote activities because it got to be a bit much to be in the cenotes for several hours. The buffet lunch was very good and there was lots for me and the kids so all of us had something to pick from. That's not gourmet but for buffet food it was delicious. My biggest recommendations is make sure you have good water shoes that have a closed toe and good sole, there is a lot of walking, half on cement paths and stairs for zip lines and half on very rocky uneven underwater in the cenote. I also recommend having your hair done in a way so you can wear your helmet all day, it was mandatory. Find rash guard was also very good so we didn't get chilled and didn't get sunburned.

Had a great time. Spent the whole day there, 9am - 5pm. Bought the photo and drone package and got great pictures, the one included, to document our visit. Zip lines and Water Tube ride had 30 min wait times throughout the day, a Thursday. Other than those rides, we didn't wait at any other place in line. Buffet was way better than expected, with numerous offerings from tacos to pizza/hamburgers to desserts. We visited the buffet right after showing up and before we left. Have watershoes before hand. Don't worry about your phone, just have fun....

We absolutely loved our time at Xplor Park! There’s so much to do, and everything was such a fun adventure. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Playa del Carmen! •So much to do! From ziplining to underground river swims, every activity was exciting and well organized. •Ziplining & Hammock Ziplining: Both were amazing! The views from the top are incredible, and the hammock ride into the water was such a fun surprise. •Delicious Buffet Food: The buffet was so good! Tons of variety, everything was fresh and tasty, and the desserts were just as delicious. •Photo Package: They have photo stations all over the park. It’s around $60, but it’s totally worth it—unlimited photos from every activity! •Underground Swimming: Such a unique and fun experience. The caves are beautiful, and the water feels amazing after the heat. •Friendly Staff: Everyone who worked there was super nice, helpful, and made sure we had a great time. •Well-organized & Safe: Lockers, helmets, and gear are all provided. Everything felt clean, safe, and easy to navigate. Overall, Xplor Park is a must-do in Playa del Carmen! Perfect mix of adventure, good food, and great memories.

This is a very well run and nice park. The underground river float was nice, the beaches were decent. The nighttime show was great. The downside is that the entire park is setup to squeeze money out of you. Only a few things are actually included in an already expensive ticket. The included buffet was average. It is clean and nice. It's worth doing once but we wouldn't come back again. The night show was definitely the highlight.

Absolutely incredible!! The best day out we had there by far!! It's a long day for sure but so worth it! The underground rivers were amazing to swim through, we swam the whole way! But there are multiple points for you to get out and walk if you get tired of swimming etc. We also paid to swim with the nurse sharks which was an unreal experience. The staff were really informative and professional, handling the sharks with such care. I just wish we had the option to have a private swim with them, rather than a group, the rest of our group were a bunch of Americans and they were ever so loud all the time. Shouting over the shark handlers when they tried to explain some things and making a scene. Regardless it was an excellent experience. My partner went on the adrenalina and absolutely loved it too! The included buffet was very nice, with a beautiful view of the sea turtles below. The cultural show was great! We were skeptical about whether or not we would enjoy it but we really did! The Mayan ballgames were awesome! What a show definitely recommend visiting Xcaret to anyone.

This place is absolutely amazing, yes it's a little expensive but in my opinion when you compare it to English theme parks or experiences its absolutely worth it. The place is big but not so big that you cant get round it all. It has a river that you swim (you are provided with life vests and flippers) and for me this was the highlight of the trip. Aquarium where you can see sharks, turtles, fish. An aviary which was amazing with some great picture opportunities. There's a cultural section of the park where you can learn more about Mexican culture and history. A place to snorkel which is included in the price. There's a beach and plenty of places to down tools and eat drink and relax. We were in Mexico in low season so the park was quite in comparison to higher season which was great as we got round everything and absolutely no queues. Top Tip hang around for the evening show it is long but definitely worth it and gives you a real flavour of mexico. Highly reccomend this park. I've also been to Xplor and loved that but this park topped even that.

Thank you for creating such a beautiful atmosphere. I was deeply impressed by the beauty of Xcaret’s nature; everything feels alive and full of spirit. The live music, your dedicated team, and the energy of the place make it truly special. It seems that everyone who works here truly loves what they do, and that passion can be felt in every detail. As visitors, you offer us not only wonderful experiences but also inspiration. You remind us to appreciate nature, to care for the environment, and to value culture and traditions. Xcaret is much more than a park — it is a celebration of life and harmony. I wish that soon our entire planet could be like this corner of the world — full of respect, beauty, and balance. Even if not everyone can see it or be here, thank you for inspiring people to become better human beings and to care more for our shared home, the Earth.

Honestly the best place I have ever visited in my life. I have never seen so many wild animals free to roam in their natural environment. The staff are amazing, the beaches are beautiful and swimming and boating through the jungle was magical. Don't miss this place if you're in cancun it is honesty a bucket list trip.

We were hesitant about visiting largely due to the very high price and worrying it would be tacky or badly done. We were very wrong. The entire park is themed and maintained to a fantastic standard and we spent 8 hours here but could have stayed even longer. The aviary was truly amazing, one of the best bird exhibits we have seen in the world and we thoroughly enjoyed each of the different coloured paths you take to visit each of the parks sections. Id recommend getting the Plus package just to take advantage of the great buffet lunch. We visited on a mid week day and at 9am it was virtually empty, by 3pm it became busier but never felt crowded. Is it expensive? Yes, on par with Orlando theme parks, is it worth it? Id actually have to say yes it could be. Well worth a visit!

The underground river was amusing, but it was crowded. Prepare for a long swim. The snorkelling experience was not very good. The restaurant buffet was good, with good-quality food. The ritual and ceremonies get crowded, and if you’re not in the front lines, you can’t see much of them. The evening performance was very good and interesting. When you visit, you can usually do two to three activities.

First of all, the cenotes and surrounding area are beautiful. We started with a trip to the 1st cenote. Then we took the ATVs to a 2nd cenote. Lastly we took the ATVs back for some quick ziplining (3 zipliines). The whole experience was just under 2h. We had the most fun at the 2nd cenote jumping from a zip line into the water. Our guide was quite rushed but very nice and pleasant. The reason I'm only given 3 stars is the overall price and value for money. The tour was fun, but instead of a 45min ATV ride, it was roughly 20-25min. The food was also quite bland. What bothered us the most was the price of the pictures. They told us at the beginning that we weren't allowed to take any phones or cameras with. Generally fine by me, but afterwards they wanted to charge us 60$ for all the pictures together. We could also buy a single picture for 10$. We tried negotiating the price to a more reasonable number, but the owner insisted the lowest they could go was 40$ for all the pics. Still way to expensive and definitely waaaaaay more than we'd pay at home. So generally speaking a pleasant and fun experience, but probably not worth 80$ p.P. and the exorbitant picture prices. Only consolation was that we had a few minutes to take some pics with our phone of the 1st cenote once the whole tour was done, but we were then rushed back to our driver to go home.

We went there 2 weeks ago, I believe it was $15 a person for foreigners. There is another price to visit both cenotes in that area but we had little kids and did not have a lot of time so we only did one. It is not located inside any resort, open to general public. The place is cute, clean, they have picnic tables set up. We went on a Saturday and there was hardly anyone there but our group. This cenote looks like a cave, you go down the slippery stairs to get to it. You can also jump down from an opening at the top or get down by stairs and swim all around. We only did one cenote on this trip and this one was perfect! Our 3 year olds loved it and still talk about the experience :)

Really nice cenote, deep 250+ ft or 70+ metres. Really liked id, jumped from 5m into cave for 2 times. Ypu can spot divers or fishes in the water it is crystal clear. BUT be aware that you cannot take mobile (even in waterproof case) but they will sell you after event sell photos 10$ / pcs or 40$ / all photos. Some people reported to them that DVD was empty, photos not working. So recommend when you will recap photos what professional photographer takes, record video on mobile ... you will at least have something :)

They won't let you take your own photos which is a horrible policy, I would have given them a 5 start review if it wasn't for that stupid idea. They have 2 beautiful cenotes. The "zip line" is very short, and you have to hold on and then jump off to the water which is lots of fun. The ATV are lots of fun, the breaks doing work very well so keep a good distance between you and the front person.

This place was awesome. We had a blast, and we were not in a tour group. Awesome cave swimming with a high jump for the adventurous plus a lot more. We loved the fact that there were friendly dogs and cats all over the place. Good food too. Definitely check it out whether you're on a tour or not (more fun without IMO).

Price is $15 for Cenotes. They have zip lines, horses, and 4 Wheelers $15 each per activity. Cenote was beautiful and water was just barely cool, super clean, and clear.. The food in the restaurant was the best I had while in Mexico. Grilled chicken and fajitas were off the chain. Loved this nice little place.

STAY AWAY. UNSAFE, UNPROFESSIONAL, DANGEROUS. RIP OFF. We did this in January 2021. I really do not recommend this place. Completely unsafe and unprofessional. There are a lot of cenotes to go to, you don’t need this one. - they force you to leave any camera / cellphone when you go on the tour. Then, they have people with cameras taking pictures of you and at the end selling them to you for $10 USD each or $60 USD. If you hide your phone, they kick you out of the tour with no refund. - the zip line in the trees is unsafe. You are given beaten up gardening gloves to slow you down by touching the ropes with the gloves. We got injured doing it. - the atvs are extremely olds. Mine had around 100k kms, it also didn’t have breaks at all. - The included food is a joke. We got quesadillas, they were pretty much empty inside.

Beautiful place to just sit and feel the ocean breeze!!!! There is a beautiful shopping center not too far from the beach as well!!!

Good spot to hang out after walking 5th Ave. Lots of places to eat around the area. Good place to meet locals and tourists. Busy during the sunset time's.

This park has the iconic Playa statue. It's quite impressive and unique, and is located on the beach near the ferry terminal. There are many places to sit and enjoy the view.

For my first time visiting this place I was very disappointed. Bathrooms were very dirty. Streets were dirty. It was very busy a lot of locals & tourists. The locals didn’t seem very pleasant at stores or parking lots. The beach wasn’t as clean as I thought it would be. The only pleasant part of this area was the shopping mall . It was nice and bathroom were cleaner. I don’t think I will visit this place again or recommend it to my friends.

Very nice place to visit especially when the Mayans do the show

Great place to hang out. Sometimes there are Mayan performers or a comedy show

I recently visited Parque Los Fundadores in Playa del Carmen, and I was impressed by this beautiful park. Beautiful Grounds: The park's lush gardens, walking paths, and tranquil atmosphere make it a perfect spot to relax and unwind. Not to mention the beautiful beach!! Volleyball nets are an another way to spend the day there. Nuestra Senora del Carmen Church is used for many wedding and church services. On Sundays you will see a line of people out of the church. It is a pretty iconic building in Playa with the clear blue ocean in the background Iconic Arch: The park's iconic arch, a replica of the original entrance to Playa del Carmen. It’s named Portal Maya 2012 m, It celebrates the Mayan calendar. The sculpture was designed by artist Arturo Taravez who is from Guanajuato, Mexico. The sculpture is 16 meters high or about 52 feet high and its truly is a great spot for photos. Cultural Events: The park often hosts cultural events, concerts, and festivals, which showcase the local community's vibrant spirit. We were able to watch the Danza de los Voladores and the humul dancers both shows were beautiful! Amenities Restrooms: Clean and well-maintained restrooms are available throughout the park. Food and Drink: Various food and drink vendors are available, offering a range of local cuisine and refreshments. Plus you’re on Quinta Avenida and it’s full of restaurants and quick grab and go places. Seating: Plenty of benches and seating areas are available, making it easy to take a break and enjoy the surroundings. But watch your step! Tips and Recommendations: Visit in the Evening: The park takes on a magical atmosphere in the evening, with beautiful lighting and live music. They have lots of entertainment in the evenings. It’s quite lively!! Bring a Camera: The park's scenic views, iconic arch, and cultural events make it a photographer's paradise. Check the Events Calendar: Plan your visit around cultural events, concerts, or festivals to experience the atmosphere! Parque Los Fundador- is a must-visit destination in Playa del Carmen.

Beautiful blue clear water! Theirs an entrance fee like 25$ bucks a person, with a chair and umbrella. Highly worth it! This beach is not congested like the other ones. They also have a snorkeling business next to the restaurant. We loves it!!!

I almost hate to leave a review because I don’t want this place overrun with obnoxious tourists from cruise ships. But it’s made Cozumel one of my favorite cruise stops - lol. A 25 minute taxi ride - or rent a car/scooter at the port and book it for $20 a person. Beach chairs are cushioned and they’ll bring you all the umbrellas you want. Food is fantastic! The calamari/ shrimp tastes like it just came out of the ocean. The guac is fantastic. Drinks are generous. Service is great… You can spend a lot or a little - just depends on what you want:-)

The perfect beach! $20 a person for a whole day with chairs and an umbrella is a steal. The water is so clear and calm.

We did the All inclusive VIP and it was surreal. Gabriel, Joni, the talented chef and bartender all did an incredible job and the beach is beautiful! 10/10 would recommend

Overall a 4 star. Beach was clean without sargassum, lady at the entrance was not that nice I don't know why. Beer is around 80 pesos which is reasonable. Service guy was rude at firstl, but then it suddenly changed (I don't know why). I'm glad that was the case. We paid 20 USD fee for the entrance and stayed for 2 hours only. I wouldn't go back next time, I think is worth it if you are staying longer

We visited Playa Palancar Beach Club during our cruise stop in Cozumel, looking for a nice spot to relax by the beach — and we’re so glad we found this place! The prices were very reasonable, and the food was delicious. It’s not all-inclusive, which actually worked out perfectly for us since we don’t eat much or drink alcohol. We ordered the mixed grilled seafood, and it was freshly cooked and full of flavor. We took a taxi from the port, which cost $30, but we gave $35 each way because both drivers were friendly and professional. The service at Playa Palancar was outstanding — our waiter was great, and honestly, the entire staff made sure we were comfortable from start to finish. If you’re visiting Cozumel on a cruise and just want a peaceful, affordable place to chill by the water, I definitely recommend Playa Palancar Beach Club!

Great place to relax. Great staff/service . Great food . We recommend this beautiful spot & all the great food/ambience it gives in Cozumel.

My friend and I booked the Romance Cabana at Mr. Sanchez in Cozumel and it was amazing! Check-in was quick and easy, and they had everything ready for us. The cabana was super comfy, giving us a perfect spot to relax. We ordered food twice — the coconut shrimp and tacos were delicious, and the fajitas were just as good. We also went jet skiing, which was such a fun adventure! The pool with the swim-up bar was a blast, and the bartenders were awesome — they even wrote fun messages on our cups. We got the best of all worlds: a relaxing vibe in the cabana, excitement on the jet skis, and a party atmosphere at the pool. The ocean was spectacular — warm, clear, and absolutely beautiful. Highly recommend!

This place is amazing. Everything you want in an all inclusive stop. Drinks were cold and plentiful. Food was delicious and many options available. Get there early so you have your pick of spots on the beach or the pool. Our servers Carlos and Aaron took care of us very well. Highly recommend giving Mr. Sanchos a try.

Mr. Sanchos is absolutely worth the money. If you’re looking for something to do in Cozumel, Sanchos is a great choice. We had a covered table right on the beach. The water was clear and swimmable. The club is all-inclusive and our waiter Alejandro did an amazing job at making sure we had drinks and food whenever we wanted. The swim up bar was so much fun. The pool wasn’t crowded, and our bartender Josè kept our drinks coming. He learned our names and would call to us across the pool letting us know he made us more margaritas! The entire staff spoke English very well, so if you’re English-speaking and worried about that, Sanchos is great. There are extra things you can pay to do like jet skis and parasailing, but the club is still enjoyable without doing these. Margaritas were 10/10. The 16-year olds of our group had a great time too! Also free wifi.

We had the absolute best experience! Beautiful water. A little rocky near the shore but clear and beautiful. Great service. Decent food and drinks. Joannah gave me the best massage of my life! She was absolutely amazing! I also loved the cute coati on the property. They are super cute!

We had such an amazing time at Mr. Sanchos! The food was delicious, and the cocktails were strong — our favorite was the Mexican Powerade, it had us right! 🍹 Our server Memo was awesome and made sure we were taken care of the whole time. It was just me and my husband, and we wanted to keep our table while we explored — Memo saved it for us, which we really appreciated! We also did the ATV excursion, which I’d rate an 8/10 — fun, but mostly riding in circles. Next time, we’ll probably just relax on the beach since time flies between eating and exploring. The music was top tier, the staff was super friendly, and the whole vibe was amazing. We’ll definitely be back!

Absolutely the best. Don’t try the others until you try Mr Sanchos. Easy to book online in advance. Easy check-in on arrival. We had Julio and Edgar. unlimited food unlimited drinks. Lots of beach chairs, lots of umbrellas. Fantastic! Food and drink is 5 star. Clean restrooms. The spa and massage team was amazing.

we've been here before. it was good then. But not this time, these rice was slow it wasn't busy. our wait staff came by every 40 minutes. the brought food but it was cold an about half a serving. the drinks plain. it just wasn't good at all

We went to Playa Mia on our cruise as an excursion. The amenities were great. We got food and drinks including alcohol included in the price we paid. The food was the only thing that wasn’t worth talking about. Could definitely improve. Other than that. Everybody is nice and friendly. We got loungers and kayak, water bikes, the water inflatables in the ocean and pools. They also had a play area for the kids. I’ll be coming back.

Came here on a shore excursion through my cruise. Felt safe and had so much fun! Very clean! Bathrooms are immaculate! Had a nice time on the inflatable obstacle course in the water on the beach! It is $12 to rent a towel, even with a day pass. We just dried off in the sun! Will be back with our families, as there was a nice pool and kids splash area and water slide. Thanks for a great day in Cozumel!

We bought an excursion to Playa Mia through our cruise ship. Getting there was fantastic. Service was phenomenal. Bathrooms were great and clean. Drinks were great and poured well! Beach was beautiful, not rocky. Plenty of seats with umbrellas. Pool was perfect. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars was the food was lacking. Mashed potatoes were amazing. Chips were great! Chicken was ok. Rice was good. I'd definitely go back because the Service was so great.

We recently visited here as part of an excursion with Royal Caribbean as part of the Deluxe resort package. When we arrived, there was construction work which we wasn't told about. The pool area never had any loungers, so we went to the beach area. The beach area was OK, and myself and the kids went on the inflatables in the water which was fun, as well as the canoes. The buffet which was onsite was quite limited, as well as the drinks being served. Overall, the experience for a 4-5 hour excursion was OK.

It was okay. For the amount of money you pay I would just expect a little nicer. We paid for the all you can eat but I think that was a mistake. The food at the buffet wasn’t all that appetizing and we barely ate any. The beach was fine, found a place to sit and the kids had a blast playing in the sand and water. The blowup toys were pretty far out in the water so we didn’t actually end up doing anything with them. It was fine just don’t get your hopes up too high.

We were there for the whole day, had bought tickets already without buffet. It was really cool we did everything we could: we were on the inflatable water park, kayak, water bike and could also snorkel and see the underwater city. Around 16:00/17:00 we were almost alone, everybody left so we had all for us.

We did the glass bottom boat snorkeling excursion. Amazing. Our guides were fantastic. I lost my phone during my snorkeling, and Ernie dove down and retrieved it!!! He was our guide and showed us a barracuda, a lobster, a conch shell with the animal living in it, and an assortment of fish.

⭐☆☆☆☆ One of the Worst Experiences – Not Worth the Trip! Visited today, and honestly, this was one of the worst experiences I’ve had at a tourist spot. The road to get there is terrible — full of potholes and dirt paths covered with water, so you can’t even see where the holes are. The lighthouse view was decent, but the area itself was smelly and swarming with mosquitoes. Bathrooms and showers were not clean at all. They charged us $210 USD for 11 people (including 4 kids) and only accepted cash — felt like a total rip-off. The food and massage were also disappointing. The water was dirty and full of seaweed. Overall, this place is not worth the time or money. Florida beaches are much cleaner and far more enjoyable. Mexico really needs to stop taking advantage of tourists like this. Save your money and visit a nearby area instead! Worse of all they have this plastic tables one of our family member seat on it and it broken as I think this are old and being in sun they are weak. They charge $10 for the table it shows their mindset.

The Punta Sur Eco Park was by far the highlight of our stay on Cozumel! It’s super peaceful, and we saw several wild crocodiles and even a coati. The entrance fee is around €25 per person, but it includes a free boat tour through the mangroves (available in English and Spanish). The beach is absolutely stunning — the most beautiful one we’ve seen in all of Mexico. Unlike many other spots, there was no seaweed here at all. The water was crystal clear, and there are great snorkeling spots you can reach directly from the beach. There’s also a lighthouse you can climb for an amazing view over the entire park. Absolutely worth visiting!

Punta Sur is a gorgeous, serene stop that has something for everyone. There are so many activities that admission covers including beach access with chairs, showers, restrooms, swings, hammocks, hiking trails, Mayan ruins, a lighthouse, a museum, beautiful lagoons, and a lagoon boat tour. Additionally your ticket goes to conservation efforts like restoring mangroves. The beach closes at 4:00, but the rest of the park stays open til five. The road is long, and there are some potholes, but as long as you drive slow they are not an issue. You need a car and cash to visit. The boat tour needs to see your ticket for admission, and it runs from 12:00-14:00 with a departure every hour. Our tour guide was very informed and witty; we learned a ton about mangroves and the lagoons. There are crocodiles so be cautious on trails and when getting on the boat. During our tour crocodiles hung out under the dock we were on. For hiking make sure to bring bug spray! The vendors onsite sell it but it is marked up super high. We decided to take a hike and got eaten alive by mosquitoes. The hike was super nice other than the bugs and you reach an nice observatory tower for taking pictures. There are tons of iguanas on the trail and the trail overlooks a crocodile pond too. The beach itself is gorgeous and one of the closest spots to El Cielo. These is great snorkeling, and the water is sargassum free. On the beach there are bats and restaurants. These places only take cash. At the bar “El Cielo” they had good drinks.

Punta Sur Eco Beach Park is one of the most beautiful and peaceful spots in Cozumel. The park offers stunning ocean views, a historic lighthouse, and plenty of opportunities to see wildlife like crocodiles, flamingos, and tropical birds. The beaches are clean and quiet, perfect for swimming or relaxing. The small Mayan ruins add a nice cultural touch, and the on-site restaurant serves great local food with a view. It’s well worth spending a few hours here to enjoy both nature and history in one place.

We bought our tickets via 3rd party (Viator) and which where advertised as combo ticket with admission plus sunbeds and umbrella at Cielo Beach at the end of the park. We were not spotting during purchase that 1. this is for entry with an own car only (luckily we had a rental car with us), and 2. that the hours are a bit peculiar (some parts close at 4pm, the rest at 5pm), the little inner boat tour on a lake is at 2pm only. The park itself is quite large and seems really a natural habitat for the animals living there. On the flip side we barely saw larger animals we were mainly therefore, ie no turtles, and only one croc somewhat hidden on our way out. The beach or beach bar was not worth it at all, drinks and food completely overpriced and no value add, since the beach does look quite nice but Cozumel has dozen of beaches looking like that or better.

Most beautiful beach on Cozumel. Swam out to the reef to snorkel! Far swim but with it. Water is calm. We saw shark, lobster, rays. Not too deep! Worth the $ plus we saw the crocs on the boat tour!

The park is open from 9 to 4 not 5. From San Miguel to the entry it will take good 30 minutes when the traffic is not busy. From the entry on the dirt road was rough. To drive to the light tower , it took 15 minutes, from the light tower to the beach another 20 minutes. The road has no shade at all. Too long to hike. You need a car to visit this park. The view from the top of the tower is stunning. The small museum is very interesting. The boat ride in the Lagoon is wonderful with the guide telling us about the origin of the park and how the citizens of Cozumel chose to decline mass tourism to conserve their beautiful island. The captain and guide are extremely familiar with the whole environment. They know where the crocodiles can be spotted. They called the names of the crocodiles. We saw lots of birds including flamingos After lunch, we snorkel in the calm blue sea and saw fish and stung ray. Our driver told us about the turtles . A true magical trip.

Excellent attraction! It was a wonderful experience and we learnt so much! We got to walk through a crocodile enclosure, hold a snake, feed some animals and hold a tiny crocodile! The tour lasted about 45 mins which was perfect in the summer heat! There is a small playground at the end and a large gift shop.

Worth every penny. First off wear long sleeves legs and arms there are a lot of mosquitoes. You can tell the animals are so well looked after. The guide was super knowledgeable and we enjoyed our private walk around very much. The children loved holding some of the animals. They learnt so much in this time.

I had a lot of fun here. I was expecting to hold a small crocodile, i was not expecting to walk through their enclosure and come within a meter of a crocodile with no fence between us it was exciting. They also had sevral species of snakes and we got to hold one. When we were with the harless dogs two of them got in a fight but the guide was able to break it up immediately, demonstrating how good they are with the animals. I believe they said most of the animals are rescues, it looks like they have a good home!

Great activity for the whole family. The private tour was easy to walk and stroller friendly. Lots to see and interact with. Our tour guide Aldo was very patient with our curious 4 year old and very knowledgable.

Croco Cun Zoo is a wonderful place for those who want to experience exotic animals up close. Our guide Aldo was friendly, communicative, and very knowledgeable – he introduced us to all the wildlife in the zoo. This place left us with truly great impressions. Thank you!

Fun and interactive experience with animals. We saw deer, crocodiles, lizards, snakes, parrots, turtles, hairless dogs, and wild cats. You can get up close with a lot of these animals. I highly recommend, especially for those used to zoos in the US - you’ll get a very different experience.

I enjoyed it, tour guide was good.. Make sure you spray your self in lots of mosquito repellent before you go in.

This was a great place but I am so upset I could not enjoy it more. I love history and couldn’t wait to visit the ruins. You have to pay 2 admission fees for a total of $15 US. You will also get totally hounded by sales people and encouraged to get. Tour guide which will cost an additional $30. They also take your picture and when you are leaving, will try to sell you the picture with a nice frame for $35. I did buy the Momento because it was a great camera and it came with the frame. But I talked them down to $25. The major issue I had there was MOSQUITOS. We were attacked mercilessly by these very tiny painful biting mosquitoes. My whole family was bitten with no mercy, so much so we ran through the site in less than 10 minutes. They ate right through my crunchy momma stem stem spray with essential oils. TIP- if this is a site you plan to visit, treat your clothes with a permethrin spray, your skin with the permethrin lotion and carry a spray with DEET to treat the areas that you did not cover. Believe me, the mosquitoes will find it. If you forget to do this, do not do a last-minute trip here or an excursion without it you will regret it! I promise you. Now for the next 10 weeks, I have to watch out for Zika, Dengue fever and other mosquito borne sickness there. I understand this is the jungle . However, I feel like they can do even just a little to help control the mosquitoes. Maybe even weekly fogging would make somewhat of a difference.,

Great archeological site! We went on a Sunday and there wasn’t anyone there! We had the whole place to ourselves! The full tour takes a while. It’s a long walk. Wear bug spray and shoes you don’t mind getting wet or muddy. I wore flip flops but other shoes may have been better.

Pretty cool place, I went through with a tour and thought it was interesting to learn about the lunar goddess and the lunar calendar and how the 28 days of the lunar calendar were incorporated into the arch. My kids were most interested in an iguana that was walking around. 30 minutes is probably sufficient.

Interesting structures and history. Pretty drive into the area. Make sure you bring cash!!! Some of the entry fees must be paid this way. It was super hot because we went in July but it was still worth the trip and the heat!

It was not a good experience. We were greeted by the security guard who offered to give us bug spray for a tip...(here's a tip, sir, stop functioning from a place of greed and start being a good human). Then he walked us to reception and told us there was a double charge for entrance. One was for state fee, the other was federal fee, total $15. They proceed to charge us $15 per person, then you got to a different kiosk where they force you to pay another entrance fee plus, for an additional fee, you can get a tour guide. By the time, we reached the ticket gate, the kid in front said to take a picture of the map, which will cost 100 pesos...he said it as a joke but at that point we understood that this was another tourist trap to get money however they could. Mind you, we were the only ones there, so they did not need to act that way. We were literally the only car in the parking lot...They literally did not do anything for us but charged us for nothing. We went inside, looked at a couple of Ruins in 5 minutes and left because of the horrible experience of walking in before getting into the ruins. It takes about 25 minutes to get to it from the center, but honestly, it is not worth it just for the quality of the people that you will be greeted by once you arrive. Unfortunately the ruins were ruined by the staff employed who function from a place of greed. Very unfortunate. Very disappointed.

Must get the tour guides! We had one and she was amazing. We were able to understand what the structures were and how they relate to others in Mexico. The site itself was small and lots of mosquitoes, but well kept.

Luckily we arrived before the tour buses arrived and was able to get a terrific tour guide. We had limited time but he covered quite a bit and kept it very interesting.

Great swimming from shore as the reef keeps out larger waves. Excellent for families.

This is a beautiful park. They have a lot of activities and different places to buy souvenirs, food, and snacks. The beach is beautiful and clean. There is a playground for the kids. They do a great job of encouraging social distance and sanitization of hands.

Boar crew/snorkeling guides were fantastic! My family and I had a great time and overall experience at the reef. I wanna go back again.

great snorkeling experience, beautiful reefs and fishes, recommend

Great place to snorkel. You can get a boat ride out for about $20.

The best one in all Quintana Roo. You can see the reef very near you ! Gorgeous nature 😍

Beautiful reef and a ton of fish. Had one of the best snorkeling experience here.

Cozumel Pearl Farm was one of the most incredible experiences for our family! We could not recommend this more. If you want a unique and memorable day, go see them! My kids would rate it ten stars if they could, and so would I. Thank you all for making our day so memorable!

The Peal Farm experience was quite soothing! Isabel and Pancho were awesome hosts to this piece of paradise. The tour itself was informative and what a story of resilience! We truly appreciated their efforts to make us feel at home and comfortable. Thank you for offering the opportunity to visit your daily lives as pearl farmers! :)

This was an amazing day with informative, fun, and knowledgeable guides. We enjoyed everything about this small family owned farm. The day included a beautiful boat ride to the farm, a private beach and tour of the lab, a snorkel over the farm, drinks, fresh fruit, snacks, and excellent grilled cheeseburgers! We also loved having a drink and floating on the sandbar! I highly recommend the experience!

These guys are amazing! It is truly a little spot of paradise. Isabel was our host and our magnificent tour leader. Small group of 6 of us. Crystal clear waters and beautiful setting. They are really worth the full 5 stars. Hope to come back for their new overnight camping trip one day soon. Best of luck guys!

AMAZING TOUR! If you had to book one tour this would be the one I would choose! You get to go to a private beach where the pearls are cultured! They also cook and amazing lunch for you while you explore the beach! This is a family owned farm with such loving people! please support this small local business!!

By far the highlight of our trip to Cozumel! Isabel and her family really made it a wonderful experience showcasing the history, passion, and science behind the place. The place itself is extraordinary both above and below the water. Lunch was tremendous as well, everything about the trip was very welcoming and thoughtful. Couldn't recommend it enough!

We were lucky to visit this place Sept 2019. It’s GORGEOUS. This is a very private and personal excursion. The ride out to the island is so nice, the owners and staff are top notch. The grilled burgers were fantastic. My dad and husband enjoyed the complimentary beer! The history of the farm ,family and the pearls was an enjoyment to hear. This was my first time snorkeling and i had a blast. Our family still talks about this place and how much fun we had, we would all love to come back one day.

If I could give this place less stars, I would. It is a torture and entrapment facility for dolphins that are suffering. I witnessed a dolphin being kept alive through a feeding tube. If you look this place up on trip advisor it says that it is inhumane and doesn't meet requirements for animal safety and responsible caretaking. Don't support this business if you have a semblance of a soul or any compassion for living beings. The bottom line is, dolphins are as smart as people. How would you feel if you were confined to a 4 foot room for the rest of your life. Kinda sounds like jail, but even prisoners get to go out every once and a while. This is basically like having a child and a not allowing him to exercise or enjoy any human activities And just feeding him until he's immobilized and has a heart attack. Nobody should have the ability to control wild animals like this and hold them in captivity. This place is super sad. What a trap. Even if you don't care about the animals, it's gonna cost you a $175 USD for photos, and you're not allowed to bring your camera into the place. You won't be able to take any pictures home of your kids doing this experience unless you pay for them. LOCKERS COST $15 STUFFED DOLPHINS COST $50! We didn't even rent towels can't imagine what that would cost bring your own towels! If you get a ticket for this and you think you're saving $439 for a family of 3 from the Moon Palace promotion, it's a total scam. And if you go to the Moon Palace promotion, it's a total scam, be advised. I'm not kidding. Attached is a photo of the dolphin eating with the feeding tube. This place should be shut down.

Fun Dolphin Experience, But Misleading and Overpriced Interacting with the dolphins was definitely a fun and unique experience. However, the overall organization and transparency at Dolphin discovery Connection Cancun left a lot to be desired. The package I paid for included food and drinks, but I received none. The session felt rushed, and there was little time to truly enjoy the moment. The package also mentioned a dolphin ride, but once we got there, we were told it’s no longer allowed due to legal changes — something they never updated on their website, which felt very misleading. Lastly, the photo package was outrageously priced, and since you’re not allowed to take your own pictures, you’re pretty much forced into buying theirs. Overall, while the dolphin interaction was enjoyable, the lack of honesty and the feeling of being overcharged took away from the experience. I wouldn’t book again.

It was awesome!!! Love hanging out with Flipper, I grew up watching as a kid. Always wanted to surf with Flipper. Best Dolphin ever!!! It was really cool to swim with the dolphins and surf too. Had a great time. 💦🙏❤️✌️❤️🤙

I booked this encounter for my 4 young adult kids. I went with them to check in where I showed our reservation number and the girl responded with the name of my oldest daughter and I said correct. She passed out their wrist bands. They got a locker and I went on my way to join the other half of our party at the Iberostar Golf Course. They were to have a 50 minute encounter with 2 dolphins which included a hug, kiss, shake, foot push or dorsal pull among other things like the buffet. About 40 minutes in I get a call from the kids saying that they were rushed out of their tour and didn’t get to do the foot push/dorsal pull and the staff was telling them that they were at the wrong place… we drove to where the website said to go so I was very confused. I sent them a few blocks over only for the map to put them back at the same location. It dawned on me that the girl knew my daughter’s name at check in so there was no way that we were at the wrong location. I sent them back and spoke to a manager who informed me that Mexico passed a new law that they can no longer do “rides” which is not what was stated or promoted on their website. This was 100% chaotic and false advertisement. I would like a refund for the difference that we paid and the time wasted for my party who ran around frantic thinking that they were in the wrong place based off of the employees statement (which I heard on the phone). Not to mention I missed several holes in my golf game trying to calm them down and figure out where the reservation went wrong because we were initially being told our package didn’t include the rides instead of them no longer being allowed.

Good to spend time with dolphins and get to know more about them. Kids had fun but only thing which we didn’t like photos cost. It’s too costly and you don’t have choice.

The entire park is great or looked great. I did not select the dolphin option as part of our activities as I've had the opportunity to enjoy this activity several times in the past. I needed to rent a locker only from this section of the park because I did not have USD to pay for the regular lockers at the front entrance. I did spend a significant amount of time observing the dolphins and interacting with them while I was there and they are so fun to watch play, show off, do tricks, behave, and flaunt their intelligence. They are well taken care of and the facility is exceptionally well maintained for them. All the patrons that were part of the physical experience were happy and as amazed as I was the first few times I experienced this. The only thing I didn't think was cool was paying $35 CAD to use the lockers that really anyone can just push open with an object thinner than the width of a pen. It's possible the other lockers at the entrance were cheaper but the cost of this locker was almost as much as the admission to the park. So I recommend if going here for any activity to just leave anything you really don't need in your room.

Great place for kids , dolphins were great, unfortunately if you want the dolphins pictures it's a 175$USD package , but they will sell you individual pictures for 35$ usd , except the family one . It's a great place, but needs to work on picture packages not even Xcaret pictures run that much

Overall I had a good day with my family, which did not cost much at all. I used the 2 for 1 birthday deal for my partner and I, then a child price. Waiting to get it was 45 mins as I didn't have tickets before. The annoying thing about the wait was there was only 1 family in front of us. Once we were in we couldn't get lockers as nowhere had change, so bring the correct amount of pesos. I think it was between 210 and 250 pesos we just put the bags back in the car. Everything was okay, rides, pool, drinks, food. I would recommend it for a simple day out, but don't expect to be amazed.

It was a long wait to check in even with buying tickets ahead of time. Bring pesos for the lockers. There is an atm at the gift store if needed. Lots to do at the park. Food was good and loved the lazy river best.

Amazed by all the dolphins! The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Swimming pool up top with a bar and food service. They have lockers for a few. If you ever get a chance, I recommend this park!

It's very small, but it's fun and the facilities/rides are clean and safe. It's worth it if you're using something like resort credits to purchase tickets. It was very empty when I went, there were practically no lines whatsoever. It's not in the hotel zone so it's a bit hard to get to. I recommend taking a taxi there and then taking a bus back because not all buses go that far and they are hard to find. A taxi will cost 200-300 pesos and a bus ticket will cost 12 pesos. It's mainly a water park. If you don't bring a swimsuit you might not have much to do. The wave pool makes waves very often, maybe around every 10-20 minutes. Apart from that there is 1 rollercoaster, 1 go cart track, 1 carousel, as well as multiple zip lines and a ropes course. The food from the buffet is good, especially the pasta and tacos. You also have the option of upgrading to an unlimited food and drink ticket.

Place is okay. Equipment is a little run down. All inclusive drinks and food & ice cream but, they limit you to 2 flavors on the ice cream and 1 per person. No towels and lockers are extra. Drinks are good.

Bad maintenance, bad service, bad food, since the arriving all the road is full of garbage and abandoned old buses. Not worth it at all. Beach beds dirty. Bad system to attractions long files and signing in every one. Go carts no nice too boring everything nothing exiting

We loved this place... Although it looks a little bit outdated it's fun for a day. A lot of water activities, kids had lots of fun. Food was decent (incuded In the entrance) definitely good to spend a day. Zip line was top notch. Recommend!

Nice Beach with a Few Caveats This is a beautiful beach spot in Cancun that offers some convenience but also comes with a few limitations. One of the biggest perks is the available parking—something that’s often hard to find in the area. If you’re driving, this alone makes it worth considering. The beach itself is clean and scenic, perfect for sunbathing, relaxing, or enjoying the view. Showers and restroom facilities are available, which is a nice bonus, but be aware that all services, including the facilities, are turned off by 5 PM. This can be inconvenient if you’re planning to stay later into the evening. The water is stunning, but the current is extremely strong here and can be quite dangerous, especially for children or inexperienced swimmers. It’s definitely something to keep in mind before going in too deep. One downside is that there are no chair or umbrella rentals, so be sure to bring your own if you plan to stay a while. Overall, it’s a solid beach for a quick visit or a few hours of sun, but it’s best suited for prepared visitors who don’t mind a more rugged experience.

We visited Dolphin Beach on September 2nd and 3rd, 2025. Parking can be tricky — if you arrive after 11 am, it may be hard to find a spot close to the beach. The beach itself is very nice: it has free “mushroom tents” for shade, the sea is clean, and the bottom is sandy with no corals. On both days there were big waves, and some seaweed only appeared later in the afternoon (around 4 pm). Facilities are basic: free washrooms and showers are available, but there’s no toilet paper (vendors sell it just outside). There are also no food or drink stalls on the beach, so you’ll need to bring your own or walk about 7–10 minutes to the nearest Go Mart. Overall, a clean beach with good shade and nice swimming conditions, but plan ahead for parking and supplies.

The beach looks very nice, clean, wide and long, with perfect send. It definitely worth visiting. I think that it is actually the main attraction in Cancun.

(JUNE 2025) This a PUBLIC beach right behind the Cancun Sign. During summer, there's a lot of seaweed that smells like rotten egg and the water current is very strong, not recommended to swim if you're not confident. Their lifeguard services, indoor/outdoor showers, and restroom closes at 5pm so if you're planning to stay to wait for sunset or even at night, good luck! We went around the time it was sunrise and sunset to avoid the crowd, so the parking situation wasn't that bad. I believe its free, just double check the signs.

Nice beach I visited on Friday mid day so not crowded and if you lucky you can find some shade. I can compare this place easily to Isla Mujeres but it's local and you don't need to take a ferry to get there.

That place was amazing.Everyone can swim here for free .there are life guard on duty to see if water is safe for swimming,that time it was wavy and they said it’s dangerous to swim .Many people here taking photos and photographers offering services. There is a washroom as well .

This is a perfect place to spend an afternoon! Free palapas and warm Caribbean water. It was delightful. Be aware, there is no place to buy food in the surrounding area! You’ll need to bring your own stuff or find an OXXO/7 Eleven a few miles down. Sargassum is also a major issue. Contrary to what we were told initially, Sargassum is pretty prominent. Not to fret. It’s bearable. There’s also a tractor that drives up and down the beach all day to try to remove as much of the sargassum as possible.
