A CENOTE is a deep and usually large pool of water connected directly to subterranean rivers or groundwater. Usually they form when the bedrock collapses (like a sinkhole). This particular cenote is absolutely beautiful, huge and one of the deepest. It is 90 meters deep at the edge, and 150 meters deep at the center. The water is crystal clear and is renewed constantly by underground rivers. There are steps leading to the edge, and you are welcome to dive in. A rope with floats is extended out for you to hang onto if you need it. When you arrive, their is free parking, but not an actual parking lot. Just spaces along side the drive way. You pay a small fee to enter, and you receive a bracelet which allows you to leave and return at your convenience at no extra charge. As you walk through the entrance, there is a stairway to the right which leads you to a great place to view the beauty of the cenote. Or you may continue down to the water. There are some vendors selling float vests, souvenirs and other various things. The atmosphere is relaxing and peaceful, though there is some background music playing. An open air but shaded restaurant is located at the water's edge. You are welcome to find a table in the shade or sun, swim a while, eat, just chill out, etc. Bathrooms are available. The natural beauty is incredible. People come from all over the world to jump in. I encourage you to be one of them. read more

The owner should invest some of that entrance fee revenue back into the bathrooms. They are deplorable state. If the "eco" means plywood walls to the bathrooms and toilets that don't flush, then I'll pass Needless to say, my appetite was lost Zero development for the adjacent cenote. Nothing but a couple of sets of stairs which are always occupied by people who simply sit on them since the flotation vest is twice the price of the entrance fee(25 pesos) Very dissatisfied read more

Gorgeous, large... very deep..: blue...can see fishes only on edges... has a restaurant...only about a dollar per person (US) for admission. Great! So deep hard to see much snorkeling but a great way to cool off. read more

Really nice place to swim but they should at least have some fans. We got there hungry after a long drive and the food took forever plus the flys were unbearable we couldn't even eat comfortable. From all that we ordered the fish took forever just to find a piece of wire stuck in the meat. They just said sorry and ignored us. Such a bad experience. read more

This place is really cool because it is the biggest and deepest cenote in Mexico. There is a small restaurant where we only had drinks here so can't really comment too much about the food but we saw other people eating and it all looked good. It's a great place to spend an afternoon, swim in the cenote and have some cool drinks and lunch read more
