One of my favorite Cenotes of all time, and I know we have a lot of options in the area but this…read morespot stands out for a variety of reasons: 1) Less Busy - This Cenote is definitely more famous with the locals and far less busy as compared to other tourist trap Cenotes. If looking for local chill vibes, this is your spot 2) Cost - One of the most reasonable places in them son entry ticket prices, almost half the price of other known Cenotes in the area 3) Family Friendly: Far more family friendly, not only they have a beautiful Cenote but also a train ride for kids plus have a man made zoo(with fake animal fixtures). It was a super nice train ride plus kids loved all the animal fixtures and the huge King Kong they have 4) Pool: They also have a dedicated pool area, so if you have folks or kids just wanting to chill by pool, they have adult and kid friendly pool areas. Overall we loved it here, the Cenote was beautiful plus you're able to do a zip line jump into the Cenote, super cool. We spent almost half a day here and thoroughly enjoyed it, we would definitely come back.

Although we definitely recommend taking a car instead because the road can be quite dangerous and gnarly. This was one of the cheaper admission price cenote's in the area. The whole place is not very big but they do have a platform to jump off of and roped areas to separate the swimmers from the scuba divers. There's covered little patios for you to rest and have a snack. There's also showers for you to rinse off before and after you go into the water. Very quiet and peaceful, not crowded at all on the day we wet. Very nice time.

Did not speak one lick of English which is ok cause I know enough Spanish to get by. They do ask for your blood type which was SO odd. I still don't know why, maybe due to mosquitos? Who knows. There were no other guests when we got there, at least we didn't think there were. We were asked to take a shower as it protects the wildlife in the Cenote. So, we took a quick shower. There is a jump off ramp and a rope for divers to use when getting out of the water. A lot more people come to this Cenote to dive vs just to hang out. We didn't want to dive. I actually didn't even get in the water, cause I stuck my feet in and a million sucker fish started eating at my feet. Like the ones in China that they use for pedicures. I would probably get eaten alive if I went in, so I passed. My friend went in and there were divers below him. That is awkward too! Like are their divers looking all up in your goods?! Cool place to check out and spend like 30 minutes, but that is about all.

It is an open-topped semi-cave cenote with a large sturdy wood ladder leaning into the middle. The main entry point is to just jump in, which was the exciting part! There were also two smaller holes you could jump into if you dared. There was also one swing hanging above the water's edge. It was fun to watch people gather the courage for their first jump-in. There were also a lot of chairs and hammocks around the perimeter of the cenote for relaxing as well as a small offering of food and drinks on site.

On site are bathrooms, a few lounge chairs, 2 palapas & a grill. No life vests or snack shop as are present at other cenotes. It was all locals when I was there which I liked. No huge tour groups etc. This is a relatively large cenote with plenty of room for swimming & lounging. There aren't as many fish as other cenotes I have been to but it was nice for a swim. It is very deep & there is a cliff you can jump off of. There is also a shallow area to swim. The guy at entrance & all the locals were very friendly. The local kids even encouraged me to jump off the cliff & I needed their encouragement so that made it fun! You could spend quite a bit of time here swimming & lounging. Oh & no alcohol or sunscreen allowed. Also off to the right is another cenote which is not swimmable (dark, murky water). My sister was bitten by an ant when walking next to it so I would avoid that area.

Not on the beach, but a short walk across the street and you are at the southern end of the Tulum beach, which is the least busy part and some of the safest swimming, and miles to walk south into the reserve. Also a mostly-above ground cenote behind the hotel makes for great swimming (warmer than the ocean) and kayaking. We paid around 37US for a room with two double beds and an en suite bathroom (the bathroom isn't very nice, though), and could not find anything else along the beach for less than 50US, and nothing with en suite bathrooms for less than 100US. You are paying for the location around there, and if you don't mind basic, this is the only place for shoestring travelers to stay.

At first, I thought they were trying to scam, but then talked a bit more to them and decided "what the heck!" I must say, it's 100% worth the 600 pesos/person for the boat ride/canal float experience. As of today's exchange rate, that would be about $32 a person and worth every last peso. The lagoons are absolutely stunning and the canal that you float down is peaceful and crystal clear. The guides are fairly quiet but EXTREMELY knowledgeable if you ask them any questions. There are a few ruins around that you can get out and look at as well as they will tell you the history of the canals. Very interesting and informative. The thing my husband and I talk about and remember most of our Tulum trip is this experience. Good thing to know ahead of time however is the loooooong walk on the boardwalk back to the boat. Make sure you have a good pair of Keen sandals or something that are comfortable to walk about a half mile or so.

I'm not entirely sure why this isn't included in the other Sian Ka'an Yelp page. Even though it is…read morehuge area and there are different entry points, calling this Lagun area a separate thing all together is kind of weird. Anwyay, the Muyil entrance for the Sian Ka'an Biosphere is much easier to drive to if you have a rental car. Many reviews we read suggested we avoid driving ourselves to the Punta Allen area because it isn't a very well maintained road and is therefore better for drivers who are used to the road. It is also a much further drive to the Puerto Allen entrance. The main difference between the two entrance points is what you will see and experience at each. At the Punta Allen location, you will see more salt water marine life. Dolphins, turtles, crocodiles, etc. It is more of a wildlife experience. At the Muyil entrance, you will be on gorgeous fresh water lagunas most of the time. The lagunas stretch out as far as the eye can see and consist of crystal clear water that reflects the sky in a beautiful way. Vibrant greens and blues that gently dance in the sun. There are boat captains that will take you from the first laguna to the second laguna and then plow through what looks like a wall of plant life where you are suddenly in canals. Some canals were dug out by the Mayans and at least one of them is a natural canal. Once you get to the final canal you are informed that it is about 20km long and leads to a salt water laguna (which is officially part of the Punta Allen side of the reserve). You are instructed to put your lifejacket on like a diaper and then you get to float down the brackish water filled canal. The water is crystal clear and sometimes you might see a sea turtle. You will definitely see fish and a lizard or two. I hate water. It scares me. Deep water or water with dark edges terrifies me. But I always push myself to do things that are water related because I always look back and am happy I did it... even if I was anxious as hell in the moment. This was one of those times. The water level varies from about 7 feet to 4 feet deep and is crystal clear BUT you are kind of trapped in the canal. On either side of you there are just walls of mangroves with no real "earth" to stand on. You could hang onto a mangrove if you had an emergency but it isn't like you could really escape the water completely and walk back to the boats. This is my nightmare. If you have similar anxieties, definitely think about that. I held onto my friends the entire time we were floating but I still had trouble with it. It was sooooo pretty and technically peaceful though. I'm glad I got to experience it with my friends. We arrived later in the day so we were in the canal completely by ourselves. Our guide said he was going to go with us but after floating for 10 minutes we still hadn't seen him. This added to my anxiety. Towards the end of the float (apprx 1.5 km) he caught up to us. After exiting the canal, we walked for about another kilometer on a wooden boardwalk through the marsh. Ironically, my friends found this part to be the scary part as they imagined falling off the boardwalk and getting bit by something. Haha. The boat ride back was made even more exciting as our guide knew no one else was coming through so he sped through a canal at full speed. Not super safe but it was exhilarating. When we got to the lagunas we could see the rain in the distance and the water had started to look darker without the bright, sunny sky reflecting on it. The other pictures that are on this page don't do this place justice. It looks like the poster used a yellow toned filter. When we were there is was very blue and green. Definitely worth doing and I would highly recommend this entrance and experience to everyone. The boat captains have a set price of $600 mxn per person. It is non-negotiable and they will all give you the same price. Because of this, we didn't tip. The guide mostly just drove the boat and plopped us in the water. He gave a little bit of the history of the lagunas but it seemed to be a very typical boat ride. It felt weird not tipping but since negotiating wasn't part of the process we figured it wasn't necessary. Had we negotiated down to $500 mxn we likely would have tipped $100mxn. So I guess it balances out.
