My 8 y/o son, sister and I came here after visiting Cenote Multun-Ha right across the street. At the entrance off the side of the road, each visitor is required to pay 100 pesos. You then drive down a long private road to the parking lot and the cenote's entrance. After you park, an attendant comes to your car and punches a hole in your ticket(s), while giving you instructions to take a shower before heading down into the cenote. My issue with this place is the long flight of VERY SLIPPERY, wooden stairs leading down to the cenote and the terrible customer service, if you want to even call it that. My son slipped on the stairs on the way down to the cenote and fell on his back, hitting the back of his head. While he was screaming and crying in pain, none of the attendants came to help. My sister and I were able to calm him down and help him back up to the car. I ran into the attendant who had initially punched my ticket and told him that we needed to leave and asked for a refund since we hadn't even been there for 10 minutes (of which, 5 were spent trying to calm down my son), let alone visit the cenote. He pointed to the front entrance and told me to talk to the employee who took my money. As we drove out, I relayed to the employee at the entrance who had initially taken my money, what had happened and he told me no refunds. I told him that I needed to take my son to the hospital to check for a concussion and he shrugged his shoulders and told me it was "impossible to refund." Granted it was only 300 pesos for us to enter, but for me, it was the principle. This privatized Cenote makes $$$ from tourists like my family and they can't even invest in anti-slip grip tape for the wooden stairs?! They even have signs warning that the stairs are slippery so it's nothing new to them that their stairs pose as a potential hazard. Today's events showed me that the owners of all these tourist attractions only care about one thing...taking your money and NOT about your safety or experience. I will never be coming back to Coba's cenotes and I strongly caution you about the stairs at Cenote Choo-Ha so that a similar accident doesn't happen to you or your loved ones if you do choose to visit. read more

Cenote Choo Há - Picture of my son right before he fell on the slippery, wooden stairs and hit his head. Where is the anti-slip tape?! - Hiking Near Me - Tulum, ROO

Smallest of the three cenotes, we LOVED floating under the ancient stalagmites & stalactites! Be observant to look below, as some areas become shallow and you can strike your knee, unsuspectingly, on the rocks below! Be careful of your footing walking down the wood steps and wet rocks entering the water. read more

Not a lot to add that others haven't already said. Adding my 5 star rating in hopes others will take the time to go visit them. Pros - Super close to Coba Super cheap Super close to two other cenotes - you get to visit all three for a couple of bucks UNDERGROUND! Stair case is in MUCH better shape than some of the other cenotes we visited. Save area, nobody messes with your stuff Not over crowded like cenotes that have bill boards on the side of the road. Amazing water. Each of the 3 cenotes while underground are different. Cons - None, nada Summary - Rather than be a chump and get bused to the over visited tourist trap cenotes you can score huge and visit this one. read more

Beautiful, Off the Beaten Path Underground Cenote Near Coba Ruins! Cenote Choo-Ha is a beautiful underground cenote that is located about a 10 minute drive from the Coba Ruins. This cenote is situated slightly off the beaten path and it is lesser known and written about (you won't find it listed on too many websites or in many guidebooks). I visited this cenote during the afternoon of November 14th with friends from my hostel in Tulum. I had rented a car from Tulum and drove to this cenote after visiting the ruins, in combination with the two other nearby cenotes in this group, Tamcach-Ha and Multum-Ha. From the parking lot at the Coba ruins, we turned left and followed the road around the lagoon. We took another left turn at the first road we came to, with a sign at the corner pointing us in the right direction. We drove through a portion of the Coba village, and then made a right turn down a narrow and newly paved highway that was surrounded by gorgeous, thick and lush jungle on both sides. After driving along the highway for a little while and following the signs, we turned left on a dirt road. The ticket booth for all three cenotes was located at the entrance to this road. We continued down this road where both Cenotes Tamcach-Ha and Choo-Ha were located. The entire drive took about 10 minutes from the ruins. The entrance fee for each cenote was 55 pesos or 165 pesos for a ticket to all three. I visited Cenote Choo-Ha first and it ended up being my favourite cenote of the three. There were rustic washroom facilities and a changing area on the cenote property. I loved how the cenote was in a completely natural setting - surrounded by jungle and not touristy or over-developed at all. The cenote was situated deep underground. The entrance to Choo-Ha consisted of a small opening in the ground, surrounded by a circular stone wall. As we descended down the wooden staircase, the cenote opened up to a large round cavern with high rock ceilings. There were so many interesting rock formations that connected the ground with the ceiling and there were lots of stalactites and stalagmites in the cavern as well. The staircase from the ground level led onto to a natural rock platform that was partially surrounded by water. I felt safe leaving my belongings on the rocks, as we had the entire cenote to ourselves. The water was so clear and it was shallow enough that you could stand in some areas. There were wooden stairs leading into the water in multiple areas of the cenote and ropes across the water where you could take a rest from swimming. Choo-Ha was absolutely gorgeous and I really enjoyed my refreshing swim there! Because we were completely alone in this cenote, the atmosphere was so quiet, calm and tranquil, which I loved. Cenote Choo-Ha is a natural beauty, magical place and a hidden gem that is well worth the visit after touring the Coba Ruins! read more
