    Nice people, and definitely got to see the whale sharks! There was an issue with the boat's motor but the crew fixed it after ~15 mins.

    MOST AMAZING EXPERIENCE I HAD IN MY STAY IN CANCUN! we were…read moreskeptical about buying the package because the sales men (guys wearing neon yellow shirts) haggle you into checking out their deals. My family and I bought the deal just because it covered a lot of stuff to do in Isla De Mujeres. (See picture attached) they provide snorkeling equipment. So the way it works is you get assigned a boat with your own driver only for your party. They will take you all over the island. You get to choose how long you want to stay in each area. Our captains were "El Negro" Jose and Jorge from Veracruz. TIPS: you are allowed AND SHOULD take food into the boat. Best deal is to go to the OXXO next door. Buy beer to make it fun! IF YOU HAVE A GOPRO or any underwater equipment TAKE IT! (I left my GOPRO in the hotel) At the beginning They took us to the most touristic part of the island for about an hour and a half. You get to hang out, explore, get in the crystal clear waters) After that they took us snorkeling off the shore to see fishes. If you know how to swim well, they will take you to a little tour where the current takes you off and you get to see different species of fish. When you are done the boat will pick you up. Once you're in, they take you to another part of the island where you can eat. Part of the package. They will cook you a saw fish (pes serrucho). Drinks are not included and you can't bring drinks inside. But it's worth it. While you wait for your food. You can swim with cat sharks and take pictures. (They are harmless). When everything is done, the best part comes! You will get on the boat and they will take you to see the lost village (under water museum) you get snorkeling gear and you explore everything for as long as you want! Beautiful scenery! After all that is over they will take you to shore and you're done. Should end around 6pm and you will be tired!

    Xel-Há - Stunning Nature, So-So Food, and Skip the Timeshare…read more Xel-Há is easily one of the more beautiful and enjoyable destinations in the Quintana Roo area. The natural surroundings, cenotes, lazy river, and waterslides offer a full day of adventure and relaxation. If you break down the ticket price by the activities included, it's actually a solid overall value. But let's be clear: this is not a 5-Diamond experience. The food is the biggest letdown. The buffet is nothing special--average at best. The fries, in particular, are almost always cold and soggy, thanks to a heating system that doesn't keep up, even when food is freshly made. It's the kind of food that fills you up but doesn't leave an impression. A few tips to help you make the most of your trip: * Buy tickets online in advance - This helps you skip the lines and sometimes score a small discount. * Avoid visiting during election season - Due to Mexican law, no alcohol is served during this time, even at tourist locations. If part of your plan is to sip a drink by the water, plan around that. * Skip the timeshare presentation - While it might sound like a good deal (free breakfast + discounted or free tickets), it's really just a pitch to buy into a discount program. You're not buying a vacation home--just access to marked-up offers with a "discount" tag. If you do your homework, you can usually find better deals on your own. Bottom line: Go to Xel-Há for the nature and fun activities. Just manage your expectations with the food, and avoid the timeshare trap. It's worth a visit--just not worth believing the hype.

    Overall we had a wonderful experience but with major hiccups first they allowed our travel agent to…read morebook a dinner reservation to a restaurant that no longer exist and we didn't find out till check in while verifying all of our reservations secondly one of our two reservations to xoximilco was not in the system we canceled and rebooked and at the end of our trip we were being charged for that first reservation that didn't show on the computer which caused the check out to prolong which made us miss our scheduled reservation bus back to the airport. Then they tried to insinuate that it was our fault that we missed our bus a 5-minute checkout turned into a 30 minute checkout because a f****** on their part. on the drive back from xoximilco, there was a group of about 10 people that were clearly intoxicated, being very disruptive and nothing was done about it. Skip the timeshare presentation they told us that we would get a $400 massage and it turned out to be maybe a $70 massage also they say it's an hour and a half from beginning to end and it took over 2 1/2 hours. The all-inclusive is definitely worth it if you eat a lot and drink a lot which is something we did. on our last night there we went to restaurant that supposedly had the tomahawk steaks come to find out they didn't they had sent their meats to another restaurant so that was very disappointing. Staff is very friendly

    Nassim was a phenomenal host !!! He guided us through the outdoor food market with ease , giving us…read morephenomenal food tips along the way. ( ie .. how to pick the perfect tomato and avocado, explaining what each pepper is used for(and their heat levels ) and even recommended hot sauces to bring home as we gathered the ingredients for our cooking class. While at the market Nassim treated us to delicious authentic mexican enchiladas and beverages. After leaving the market we went to the La Parrilla restaurant for the cooking class. This is when Nassim showed us he was more than a tour guide , he is a phenomenal private chef. He was extremely patient with us as we attempted to follow his lead as he showed us how to prepare the dishes. HIs knife skills are amazing and his use of seasonings is spot on. Nassim showed us how to make authentic corn tortillas for chicken enchiladas along with the red sauce , handmade sopas for chicken sopas and an amazing guacamole . Nassim and the La parilla staff treated us to delicious margaritas while the food was cooking. When the food was almost finished cooking, we assisted Nassim in plating the meal and we sat down with him to eat. Nassim excused himself towards the end of the meal to finish making the arroz con leche, which is a delicious rice dessert he served us. In conversation I had mentioned we were in Mexico to celebrate my birthday. Nassim , very thoughtfully and unexpectedly, had a slice of birthday cake brought to me as he and the restaurant staff sung happy birthday to me at the end of the class. I could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you Nassim and Cancun Food Tours for this experience and the recipes. I cannot wait to recreate these dishes at home

    We had a great time on our market tour/ cooking class today with Nassim! The food was delicious and…read moreeveryone had a blast (me, wife, and our 8&4 year olds). Our 8 was able to get in on the class and even do some knife work (under close supervision). My only suggestion for CFT is to have some bottles of water available for us on the market tour. Man was it a scorcher today, and some water would have been great before we got back to the restaurant. But I highly recommend - a great way to spend a day on your vacation.
