I was so excited to not only see there was a Mayan museum in the heart of the resort area of…read moreCancun. And one that has an actual Mayan dig site with an authentic temple. We were only able to do a very quick trip to the museum before we had to fly out, but within the course of an hour, we were able to have a great walk through the (humid) jungle archeological site seeing the various buildings and the temple while also avoiding the tons of wild iguanas running around the path. They did a great job keeping the trail clean and well marked to make sure you don't stray off or get lost. Signage is in both English and Spanish so you can learn about the various structures and their meaning/purpose. It was great being able to see these ancient structures and learn about the rich culture of the area. We then did a speed run through the museum. And, honestly, I'm glad we didn't have much time for that. It was so hot and humid and the building's air conditioning was broken so even if we wanted to spend time there, it would have been so uncomfortable the entire time. There are countless artifacts both from the dig site outside and throughout Mexico and tons of resources to learn about the history of the Mayan people, but the vast majority of the signs are in Spanish only. So, if you cannot read the language, you might find yourself missing out on a lot of the information. But, honestly, everything on display is so fascinating, I think you would still get plenty out of just looking at the items not being 100% sure what it was you were looking at. I just wish the A/C was working. In all, this museum is small, but it packs so much within its grounds. I would absolutely say this is a must visit location if you are staying at any of the resorts in the area. And I can't wait to come back on our next trip &, hopefully, be able to spend a longer, more comfortable time in the actual museum portion of the space.

Mayan ruins on the Cancun Hotel Strip! Muy authentico!…read more This place is pretty sweet. It's a cool building, with cool architecture, but not too terribly practical. You have to get all the way to the top floor to see the exhibits. At the ticket booth reads a sign, "The galleries are hot. We have no air condition. No refunds." They were right. The gallery is up on the third floor. No, the elevator didn't work. Instead they had a corkscrew ramp that sent me going round and round and round in circles to get to the hot gallery at the top. The gallery was pretty small, with some pretty cool artifacts, and a human skull, with some awesome carvings, and some jewelry. All Mayan. So cool. There's also a temporary exhibit that had portraits of working Mexicans posing in the photos with the tools of their trades. Outside, is a super fun nature walk along an improved trail that takes you past several small ruins (one with painting still in the interior). The path terminates at a half pyramid that you can walk around, but not up. There's a small bookstore that seems lacking at the exit. It's a fun, fairly inexpensive way to get some art and culture on your trip to Cancun, to get to see ruins without having to go way out into the jungle is pretty special.

We had an amazing experience from start to finish! Michelle was our captain, and Héctor was our…read moretour guide--both were absolutely fantastic. Héctor was incredibly funny, and made the entire experience so much more enjoyable. Michelle did an excellent job as captain and made us feel safe and well taken care of throughout the trip. Together, they made this an unforgettable experience. We highly recommend requesting Michelle and Héctor if you have the chance--you won't be disappointed!

One of the most amazing fun things to do in Mexico! The picture package is a must and absolutely…read moreworth it to capture the pure joy and music of this place. The staff are entertaining and super helpful. The food was a great experience of Mexican dishes. The alcohol was plentiful! Would absolutely recommend to anyone visiting the Cancun/playa del Carmen area.

This was the venue for an international academic conference that I attended. There's a large…read morebanquet hall on the third floor. It's located in the Hotel Zone so there are lots of options for stay nearby. I was not particularly impressed with this venue mainly because while attending lectures in one lecture hall you can overhear people in other parallel lecture sessions in other halls. It is very distracting. It's a fairly small venue. However there are many shops and eateries close by and a pharmacy too that's right in front. It's also easy to catch a bus or hail a cab from this area and many hotels are at a walking distance. Places like Coco Bongo are close by and the night life is active and vibrant in this area. Although I didn't go there, hoardings advertising these places were everywhere around the conference center.

Excellent service! Bottomless drinks!…read moreFood was very good!!! It's a long show but good show. Very enjoyable! Captain Jack talks through the entire show . Getting on the ship was a bit irritating. A lot of the locals behind us would push to the front and were very rude. As we were getting on, we decided to skip the pictures and just go sit down. we went upstairs to sit down and we're chased out because it was for VIP only which starts at about $75 in addition to the $110.00 2 for one meal which is an excellent deal But we didn't want to pay $75 because with the $75 you get a bottle of liquor and we were pretty liquored up. lol!! We had an excellent waiter, and I wish I had captured his picture, but he kept the piña coladas and the shots of tequila coming to us as we sat downstairs on deck. The rest is all just a big blur. We were so happy with this show, food liquor service that we tipped a whopping $50 which is the biggest tip we've ever given in our lives. It's a world record.!!! but the tip was well worth it being that all the drinks were free. I don't know how many shots of tequila we had but it was so much fun sharing with our new friends. I had about four piña coladas. My friend, had about four piña, coladas, and six shots of tequila, something like that anyways!

We…read morebooked it not knowing exactly what to expect, and were pleasantly surprised at what a fun crew, shows, band, dinner, unlimited drinks, and experience it would be. The crew seemed like professionals from a major production company, and the views of the bright turquoise waters and sunset were amazing. We aren't easy to surprise with thrills, but this was amazing!!
