If you go, don't bother putting on any sunscreen because you will need to thoroughly shower so you don't contaminate the Cenote and help keep the fish & nature alive. It cost $10 to go in. They have a few different cenotes but the biggest one is all the way to the end. One side is very deep, and the other is a bit shallower. I recommend taking water shoes there are lots of rocks that are very slippery. On the deeper end they have an area where you can jump down from a high area. We did jump it was fun. The water on the deeper end is so clear and beautiful and I recommend going to the caves on that side as well if you know how to swim. Also bring googles so you can look under the water and see the beautiful clear water and the fish down there. read more

This cenote' is not the typical deep hole in the ground, it is more of what I harken to a swimming hole. Several pools with crystal clear water. As others have noted, no sunscreen or lotions are permitted to preserve the eco system. Bring your water shoes!! There are lots of areas when you can cut your feet. If you go to the last area, and sit down on the edge, take your shoes off and the fish will come to nibble at your feet. read more

An exceptional, family-oriented destination featuring approximately six distinct ponds. The site is characterized by its clear waters, which are home to numerous iguanas and a variety of small fish. While the facility accommodates toddlers and offers walkways for convenient access to all areas, it may not permit entry for infants. Visitors are required to wash off any sunscreen or lotion upon arrival, with designated stations provided for this purpose. A small gift shop is located at the entrance, though pricing details are not confirmed. The venue also offers life vests and snorkeling equipment for visitors' use (if you pay). read more

First vacation of 2023 I went to Mexico and has the chance to check out this cenote! It's a pretty cool place to swim. I believe it was $9 a person for entry which does not include any life jackets. HIGHLY RECOMMEND bringing water shoes. It was super hard to walk in the cenotes due to very slippery rocks and algae. I think they also had water shoes for purchase if you didn't bring one. It was quite crowded when we got there in the afternoon. They will ask you to rinse your body before getting in. They have an area where you can rinse off. There are several areas where you can swim and some of them are shallower than others where you can just chill and dip your feet in. The crowded area had a cliff where you can jump off from. Lots of people were forming lines to jump. There's also fishes in the water and you can even see by just standing. Overall it was a cool place to check out. read more

Came here over New Year's (Specifically Jan 4) I'm late writing my review :-( We came on a tour got here around 10:30/11am which was perfect to beat the crowds. We had our snorkel gear so we didn't have to rent any. The water was perfect. I did jump off the cliff and wish I knew how to upload a video because we got it on the gopro so it looks so cool when we went underwater. Find a place to sit still and the fish will come give you a lil spa pedicure too!! By 12:30 it really started to fill up so we packed up and left. If you get a chance to come here, you will not be disappointed!! read more

Cenote Azul - Lakes Near Me - Chacalal, ROO

YOUR STUFF WILL GET STOLEN! My cell phone and money were stolen within 5 minutes of going into the water. We left our things and returned within 5 minutes to find them unzipped and seemed to have been searched. There was no one near our things except the people behind the counter. All tourists were in or near the water. The only people close to our belongings were the employees behind the counter. I asked if anyone had turned in a cell phone and of course was told no and was shown a fake Apple Watch to make it seem like they hold lost items for people but it is just a tactic they use to throw you off. Apparently they are known for doing this to tourists. DO NOT LEAVE YOUR THINGS UNATTENDED!!! ! I would HIGHLY recommend Cenote Jardin Eden which is right next door. It has one HUGE pool with rocks in the middle where you can rest in the water and the jumping platform is higher than Cenote Azul. read more

Definitely suggest this location. Kind of pricey for a cenote but a gal has to get her pics for the gram you know. Con: if you lose something the staff will offer you money to find the lost item even though they found it as soon as it was lost. I mean this man dang near had a full scuba suit lol... I'm not mad at the hustle, but next time don't accidentally make a video on the snap chat glasses because it was time stamped. read more

My family and l visited this magical cenote for spring break 2024. It was beautiful! Clean, well kept and perfect for young children. The water was crystal clear, it has lots of shallow areas perfect for small kiddos. I do recommend wearing water shoes since there are lots of rocks or uneven areas. You can rent out life vests on site. Bring scubba gear lots of fish! You can bring food or purchase on site, they offer snacks. Bring little valuables and perhaps a water resistant bag for your phone. Staff were great and very friendly. read more

This was the first of many cenotes that I've been to and this one is just magical. It's has much more of a local feel than others, which makes it better, imo. It's absolutely worth the entrance cost. If you're in the area make sure you stop! Be careful, the walkways can be very slippery. read more

Stunning. There's no shortage of cenotes in this region, but we chose Azul for this trip because of its convenient location (10 minutes from Puerto Aventuras), inexpensive fees ($7 USD per adult and $5 USD per child over 4, kids under 4 are free), and the fact that it's above ground - we were worried our 2 and 4 yr olds might get scared by swimming in caves. The water was warm (in January) and clear and you can immediately understand why they call it azul - the deepest section is a shockingly vivid blue color. Lots of people were jumping off what looked to be maybe a 15-20ft cliff down into it. I wanted to myself but had to stay close to my kids. And there are several connecting pools that you can swim or walk to. In certain areas the cleaner fish won't leave you alone, so prepare for some tickles on your feet that will leave them wonderfully soft and smooth. FYIs: Sunscreen or bug spray of any kind is prohibited, even if it's labeled biodegradable or organic. You can rent snorkeling masks and life jackets there (we didn't, so I can't attest to how nice they are). Parking is limited so come early if you're driving. Toilets (without seats), outdoor showers, and lockers are available on site, and a rinse before entering the cenote is required. I'd recommend wearing water shoes if you can. Lots of areas are shallow and slippery or sharp. Coming during COVID, I'll admit there was zero indication of any changes in place - Didn't see a single mask (since it's all outside TBH I didn't wear mine either). No hand sanitizer available, which is probably because cenotes need to remain completely free of chemicals. But there was also an empty soap dispenser at the bathrooms, and I can't see an excuse for that. We got there around 10:30am and it wasn't busy at all but when we left at noon the place was pretty crowded and social distancing was not possible walking across the "bridges" that connect the two sides. read more

It's 120 pesos per person. If you want a life jacket, it's available for 40 pesos. They hold onto your ID as a deposit. Came on a weekday around 11am and there was a few people already there. By the time we left around noon it got a bit crowded. Do bring water shoes! The rocks have algae and you can easily slip on them if you are not that careful. I've seen some one did that and the last thing you want is to get hurt while you are on vacation. There are fishes that will eat your dead skin if you stay very still. They are harmless. The water is super clear and cool. There are shallow areas and then there are deeper ones where you can't stand on rocks. There is a cliff you can dive or jump from and also a jumping platform if you are afraid of heights. There's also a small cave under the cliff. The cenote is beautiful and luckily didn't get bitten by any mosquitos. Less of a tourist spot if you come early. read more

Yes! Definitely a fan! This Cenote was beautiful and super easy to find! (right off the main road with a sign easily visible) My friends and I decided to just swim on our own with no snorkeling equipment or life vest (which I also recommend doing) and it was only 76 Pesos which is 4 USD and 6 USD if you pay in American cash. You only need about an hour and a half here to swim, explore, take pictures and jump off the little cliff they have there. It does seem to get a little busy later in the day so I suggest going a little bit earlier. We were there around 10am and it was peaceful. It was definitely a fun/relaxing little way to end our trip. Enjoy! read more

Cenote Azul - view from some bushes. - Lakes Near Me - Chacalal, ROO

Beautiful Open Cenote for swimming and snorkeling. Sufficient parking. About 6 US dollars to enter per person (100 Pesos). Has a little area to eat, where they sell empanadas worth trying. They also have a little ledge, off which you can jump into the water - which is fun in and of itself but also makes for entertaining people watching. There are so many cenotes in the area and since I only went to this one I cant speak to how it compares to others but its definitely a nice time (and easy to get to given its proximity to the main road that connects Cancun to Tulum). read more

I finally made it to Mexico. I can honestly say that I've been dying to go to Mexico for the last few years. One of the major reasons was to dip my toes into a Cenote. Well, more like jump 12 feet into a cool cenote but you get the point. In order to avoid giving the cruise line all of my money, I decided to plan my own excursions with the exception of Mexico. We only had 8 hours in port on Cozumel (an island in Mexico). When I sat down to plan the trip I quickly realized that 8 hours might not be enough time to take a 40-minute ferry from Cozumel to Playa Del Carmen and then another 50-minute bus ride to Tulum and get back on time. "Where do I catch the ferry?" "What if I miss the bus?" "My Spanish is on a second-grade level. How will I navigate the country?" Our tour was with Sun and Fun Tours and it was awesome! We hopped on a ferry and a bus to reach the Tulum Ruins. Inside the ruins, we were met with beautiful seaside views, rich history and a whole lot of sweat. I was dripping buckets by the end. To cool off, we headed to Cenote Azul. Not so fast, to reach our private section of the Cenote, we canoed a beautiful lake to get to the other side. The anticipation built as we finally made our way to the dreamy waters of Cenote Azul. Aptly named by the way because it's the bluest water I've ever laid eyes on. Seriously, I could write poems about it. In those moments, nothing mattered and I was free. Swimming is the freest feeling in the world and to do so in such a serene place was the best. I can only imagine how blissful it would be to swim here early in the morning alone or even with an intimate group of friends. I wish to be free and spend my summers swimming in Mexican Cenotes forever. Keep up with my food & travel adventures - https://www.instagram.com/briyoumetravel/ youmelunch.com #YouMeTravel read more

We paid $9 a person to get in. Once we parked and walked to the cenote it was over crowded. Way too many people to enjoy even the views. We tried to go back and get our money back because there were so many people and the people were rude and did not refund us. DO NOT RECOMMEND! read more

Cenote Azul was beautiful. I was so happy we had a chance to go here on a Sunday afternoon. We got there around 2 and it was packed. We paid about $6 each to get in plus about $2 for snorkeling gear. As a side note, they make you give them your id as insurance for the snorkeling gear. You get it back as soon as you return the equipment. Its a short walk from the ticket area to the cenote. Just follow the road. Once we got there, there were TONS of people everywhere. It was hard to get around. Also, there were no lockers, so you have to pray you are surrounded by honest people. I made friends with a family and asked them to watch our stuff for a bit while we snorkeled. They didn't take anything so I guess we were lucky. The scenery is gorgeous. There are even some small caves you can swim to. My boyfriend jumped from the cliff on the cenote which was awesome. The rocks are kind of close so you need to be careful, but the water is deep and the feeling is amazing. I highly suggest you get the snorkel gear to look in the water at all the rock formations. However, you don't really need the life vest if you are an average swimmer and don't panic easily. Even though there are some very deep areas, shallow water is not far. It may be a benefit for children, though. Life vests are not free here and cost extra at the ticket counter. If you find you need it though you can always go back. The cenote was small and we didn't stay very long. It gets insanely crowded in the afternoon so if you want a less hectic visit, go in the morning. But you must eventually see if you are in the area. You won't be able to find it anywhere else. read more

Beautiful small Cenote to visit. Great for small children and people that can't swim well. I paid like $7 usd to get in and took a shared taxi outside from the resort for 15 pesos each which is around 75 cents. You can rent goggles and life jackets. They also have a snack area with bathrooms. Go early!! Starts to get busy around 12:30. read more

Absolutely beautiful! If you are vacationing in Mexico, it is a must go! Under $25 for admission/snorkel & life vest rental for 2 people! It's a pretty upbeat cenote, people jumping off cliffs, a lot of fun. Can be very slippery when walking around though so be careful. Kid friendly! read more

Awesome Cenote! I would recommend wearing water shoes or chacos though because there are many rocks and it's a rocky pathway down to the Cenote. They have a high jump off a cliff too! Lots of little fish around - bring your snorkel gear! It's 100 pesos per person to get in (about $5 USD per person) read more

The place is absolutely wonderful. It's a must go place if in the Rivera maya. The water is incredibly clear, with lots of interesting and curious fishes. It's defiantly a more local place, with a cost of only 30 pesos for an entry (around 1.5 USD). You can also rent snorkels and a life vest if you want. Be aware though, the place is crowded during weekends as it's easy to reach, I recommend to go early. read more

We went to this Cenote with mubhisband and two kids (4, 6). They both swim pretty well but have never swam with fishes in the area before. The Cenote was recommended from the Concierge from our hotel at the Grand Hyatt. It was a little hard to ding because when we put it in Google Maps, it said it was over an hour away. It turns out, there is more than one Cenote Azul. This Cenote Azul is right next to Cenote Cristalino and Eden. It was five dollars for adults and three dollars for kids. There is a restroom that is okay to use. We had a rent a car. The area has tons of fishes to snorkel and see. We forgot snorkels, swim shoes, and fins. Those would have been helpful. We still had a great time walking through the stones in the Cenote and swimming. There were small caves that you could swim into and an awesome ledge people were jumping off into the Cenote that was 10 feet above the Cenote. The rocks at the bottom can be kind of sharp. Many people with small kids brought floaties. There were fish there that would eat the dead skin off your feet. We will definitely be back. I would give another star if the toliet had a seat. There were two tiny other little Cenote here that would be great for little toddlers. read more
