We stopped here in late April 2024 during our Chichen Itza tour with our guide Luigi and honestly this was my favorite part of my day. This cenote was extremely beautiful and the water was 80° and perfectly refreshing. They were only a couple of people there when we arrived so it really felt like it was a private swimming area. The water was quite deep at one end but the other half you can see the whole bottom. There were a few birds flying around at the top and doing a really nice bird song. You have to climb down many flights of stairs to get to the swimming platform and they also have a jumping platform that is about 15 feet high. We did that and loved it. The location is also pretty easy to get to, you get to it off the main road and once there you really feel like you are in the middle of the jungle. There are more popular cenotes but those are also way more crowded so I would definitely recommend this place if you want to have a beautiful and tranquil swimming experience versus a busy and chaotic one. read more

Xux Ha Cenote - Diving Near Me - Yucatán, YUC

Clean, pretty fun and family friendly. There are a lot of great cenote in this area, but this one was terrific.

We had this cenote to ourselves! It was a rainy June afternoon and my partner and I had the whole place to ourselves for about 25 minutes, and then just one other family came. They have changing rooms, restrooms, and optional life vests. It's a few flights down and it was dark and slippery so watch your step! There's one spot to climb and jump off of and you can sit on the large deck with your feet in the water. read more

This was maybe my favorite part of our trip. A cenote is a natural sinkhole filled with water. It was a stop on our private Chichen Itza tour and was the perfect end to a fiery-hot day. It was about one hundred degrees out, so this cold water was wildly refreshing. This spot has two cenotes -- one that was clean to swim in and one that we wouldn't have wanted to swim in, as the water was very stagnant (both were stunning though!). When you arrive, you're asked to shower off, put your stuff in lockers, get a life vest, and then wear water-friendly shoes down to the cenote. You'll walk down pretty steep stairs and then be totally awed that this cenote exists underground. It was literally a swimming pool sunken into the bottom of a cave. It was magical. It was lit up from the hole to the outside in the ceiling and there were bats flying throughout. The water was extremely clear and there were a few fish swimming around, but it was super clean. There's a man-made photo op platform in the middle, but you could jump in on your own. It's a less-visited cenote, so we loved that it wasn't packed. It's located by Valladolid, where we had lunch beforehand. There was a little gift shop here where you could buy water shoes if you wanted (totally fine to be barefoot). The lifeguards were sweet and took some photos for us. I highly recommend this stop! read more

Definitely beautiful, when we had arrived, there was literally nobody here which made our experience so much better. We just sat there on the dock just admiring this beauty. We put our feet into the water, and just admired of our planet. Definitely worth the 150 pesos each. read more

10 out of 10 I would highly recommend this spot for everyone! Relaxing and make sure ya have time to enjoy

This place was on our way back from the ruins (which we didn't get to see because of protests), but I am so glad we stopped here. This place was probably my favorite cenote that I went to while in tulum. There were barely anybody there, lifevests were optional (recommend if you're not a good swimmer) and they also had a platform to jump off of. The cenote was large and the water went pretty deep. The pricing was great, I believe it was like $7 USD per person, and an $1 USD for a lifevest. We were there and there were a few small catfishes floating around which was cool to see. There's a shallow side and a deeper side and the deep side goes pretty deep. If you're in the area, I highly recommend this cenote. Accommodations: Shower (you need to shower off before going in). Changing area Swings Rest area for you to chill and go back in Coconuts & snacks Small rentable lockers lifevests They have clean changing areas read more
