I worked with Daniella at Yucatan Concierge to plan several day trips from Merida as we planned a…read moretrip to Yucatan. Daniella was great to work with and helped me plan and book three very different day trips for our stay. One tour took us South to Muna, Uxmal, and a hacienda and cenote; another East to Ake, Izamal, and a market; and the last West to Celestun Biosphere and the beach in Celestun. Each day was different and allowed us to see a different area and culture within Yucatan! Even though it's pricier, I like to book private tours when I'm on trips where I don't want to drive myself, because I talk a lot. A lot. And with private tours, you can ask as many questions as you want and learn as much as you can about where you are! The fact that these tours are private allowed me to customize them and to learned about the things in Merida that most interested me! Daniella matched us up with a veteran guide named David, who was extremely knowledgeable about Merida and Yucatan. Whether our questions were about Mayan history and culture, birds and wildlife of the Yucatan, or restaurants in Merida, David helped us learn so much! Our driver Edgar was also very friendly and helpful! And the van we booked was really comfortable on long-ish drives around Yucatan. If you're interested in seeing a lot of Yucatan and Merida and are happy to spend a little more to have a customized, private experience, I certainly recommend working with Daniella and Yucatan Concierge. She and the company can really help you create a unique and wonderful experience in Yucatan!

And yes, both of the groups bought the all inclusive beach club with blue wrist bands. $40 - great value $60 - would have be better if the other alcohol and menu items were included Guess our next visit we will wait and book at the port - also while the buffet menu references fish - there was none when I asked was told not today

Wonderful setup getting to a for an early dip before the crowds arrive...first ones in! Mayan market place ruins were enough to give a flavor of the ancient ways. The salt ponds were cool and we brought back pink salt. "Beach house" has a nice setup, but really no beach. Drinks and food were great, but at cruise ship prices ($12 margs and $20 taco plates). Didn't go for the all inclusive and I was fine with these prices until I went to check out and they tacked on an additional 18% to the exchange rate for a credit card. No exchange rate posted and absurd with the food and drink prices they are charging. Had I known, I would have used cash, but not given that information...be aware.

This spot was pretty cool. You can tell the local comes here and really like it. I've been to a…read morecenote before and this place wasn't as strict as the others. They are strict about bringing your belongings. They have at least 3 cenote within walking distance of each other. I recommend wearing water shoes. You park them pay for admission then take a boat to the Cenote. They have these raccoon looking cat don't feed them they bite. Leave them alone and they will leave you alone. Bringing food isn't allowed. We did on a cruise ship tour. My husband and I had a good time.

I think the reviews of this place should strive to be a bit more honest. The water stank, like…read moresmelled very bad, only one cenote seemed really clean enough to swim in and even for a small mexican business the bathrooms were really bad. Like, no toilet seat on any toilet including the handicap stall, meaning disabled people can't use the bathroom. It was very cool to see raccoons and birds and crocodiles up close, but I wish that they did a better job of maintaining the preserve as there was plastic trash around the edges. I loved seeing the animals and I appreciate what they are trying to do but overall I could not recommend this place.

That is a private road so if you are coming from Uxmal or Cenotes Hacienda Mucuyché you have to drive up past them - per google maps. You will reach a 'ticket' area where you have to get your temp checked and buy tickets. Then you drive down the road off the pavement onto a dirt road to give your tickets to a guy. Then drive a couple of K until you reach Cenote X'batun. Some have complained that they were over crowded and all, we went in Jan of 2021 and they are really practicing social distancing - we were the only ones in the cenote! IMPORTANT NOTE if you can get to any cenote/Mayan site when they open or before noon - chances are you can have the place pretty much to yourself. Also you don't have to climb down a 100 foot hole in the ground on a sketcy ladder to get to this one. Pretty easy solid stair case to get here. Can recommend if you are in the Uxmal area

A lot fewer crowds possibly because of its more remote location . Beautiful landscape with lots of Iguanas. There is paid parking available. There are couple of Cenotes X'Batun and Dzonbakal on an off beat path to cool down. Definitely a must visit place ! My advice to tourist is to rent a car when in Yucatan and you can actually reach places that are wonders !

Overview: A worthwhile archeological site to visit if you're near Merida. Pros: interesting…read morehistory, impressive site. Cons: Ridiculously inefficient ticketing system. Cost. I was in Merida on work earlier this year and made a quick visit to Uxmal. If you're into archeology and history, this is an interesting place to visit. Note climbing the pyramids is no longer allowed in Mexico. The park requires two separate tickets, and the purchasing process is inefficient. You can buy one ticket from an automated kiosk or stand in line. Then, you must stand in a separate line to purchase the second ticket. Credit cards are accepted, but the lines for using credit cards are slow. Cell service is a bit spotty. Public restrooms are available and they are cleaner than average. Time budget: 1.5 to 2 hours Parking: Parking is not free. Bring some pesos to pay for parking. Tips: Plan to protect yourself from the sun and stay hydrated.

We arranged a pick up from the house we were renting in Merida and Alicia provided lots of information during the 80 min ride. We visited 3 cenotes, each one unique.

They generally cater to small groups on private property so you can expect VIP service!
