This was my first time visiting a cenote and it was pretty cool. We came here as one of the stops on a Chichen Itza day tour, which is about 20 minutes away from there. They have bathrooms/showers available (you have to shower before entering the cenote), and you can also rent lockers and life vests. I didn't really like the crowds, but I expected it. I'm sure it's a popular stop for tour groups. Still, it was an awesome experience. It was a great way to end a long day tour and be able to cool off from the Mexican heat. read more

We visited here on our excursion from Le Blanc Resort. We were surprised that this swimming sink hole is better than it looks in photos. First, we got a locker to put our clothes and bags. Then, we walked down the steps to several ledges for photos. The views are amazing and swam for a good 45 minutes. There was even a platform to jump off into the sink hole. In the pool, there are fishes that are almost in your grasp. The staff was great and took our photo in front of the sink hole. Next, the buffet has a wonderful spread of traditional Yucatan food. Plus, there are fresh flour tortillas made on flat hot stone plate. Drinks are extra so we brought bottled water from our hotel room. There is also entertainment as well with Mexican dancers and musicians. This couldn't have been a better experience and would recommend this to anyone who want a true Yucatan ecotourism experience. read more

Came here as part of a tour right after our stop to Chicen Itza. It was about 30 minutes outside of the world wonder, but it took a little bit of off roading to get there. This place was amazing and beautiful. First time I had ever seen a cenote up close! The tour included a buffet that offered a variety of Mexican dishes, but the taste was okay. Drinks were not included, but was sold at a reasonable price ($2 USD for a soda or beer). This place has lockers (also $2 USD) and a changing room for anyone that wants to jump into the water. You're required to rinse off before getting in. Once you get there, you get an stunning view of the cenote from up top. The depth of this cenote is what it is known for in comparison to the others. Once you're at the bottom, there's a diving platform for people to jump off of. Be careful for those who don't know how to swim. The cenote is said to be 145 feet deep! They offer life vests for rent, but we didn't have any interest in renting so I can't share the pricing. They do have a lifeguard...or who I believe to be a lifeguard. It was an employee that sits in a nearby boat, but his expertise in rescue is also unknown. Overall, I think this location is a stop for many tours. I recommend finding a tour that offers a stop at a cenote because it was definitely a unique experience to Cancun. read more
