We went on a tour of the island during our cruise and one of the stops was to here to stretch our legs and grab a drink and food. There is a little walkway to a nice little photo area that would have some amazing views of the water behind you. The staff that was there was also insanely friendly and very heavy handed with the drinks they made. We got something call coco-loco which was a cut open coconut filled to the brim with rum and other mixers. It was insanely refreshing! There is a nice covered area to sit and get some tacos or other food but we didn't need to eat so we watched other people while they did. The food smelled heavenly while it passed out and looked equally as amazing. I will be coming back her again if I ever am in Cozumel again for sure!

Pricey! I booked the camel riding experience with a separate vendor (see my review for Maroma…read moreAdventures) and got admission to Maroma Beach. It's a little over an hour from mid hotel zone Cancun. At the entrance were signs stating daily admission was $120US. Cameras, cell phone photography is forbidden. When you enter, you queue up at desks and are wrist banded for your activity (me, camels for $164) and you can spend the day on the property. BUT literally everything there has a fee and workers ask for tips. Beach chairs were a fee. (I think chairs were included with the camels). Towels were a fee. Bali beds were a few. Paddle boards were supposedly included, but, didn't see any. The beach was huge and super clean & inviting. Sadly on my visit, winds were gusting in the 30mph range & sand was blowing, so I wasn't going to spend time lounging. The restrooms had an attendant continuously cleaning & were abundant & very clean. At first, I thought this would be a great destination for a day, but with all the additional fees and constant reminders to tip for literally everything, I would not recommend unless you are prepared to drop serious money. My visit, with the camel ride, was in excess of $309US.

I contacted customer service who offered to either have a cab pick me up and drop me off on their bill or I wait two hours for the next scheduled tour time. I opted for the latter. Transportation was included in cost and tip suggested. I was greeted and checked in immediately. After signing waivers, I rented a locker for a refundable ten dollars. The staff were all friendly and polite. No mask required. The camel back excursion was fanatic !! What an experience riding on the beach. The guides were so gentle with the animals!!! I used my ten dollars voucher to go towards a lunch at the on site restaurant which was delicious. I had fajitas! Everything was smooth. I traveled solo but this place is for everyone !!!

I'm seven months pregnant and we have an 18 month old and I appreciated how accommodating both Gilmer and Manny were! Gilmer and Manny made sure to capture our experience so we could focus on the moment and sent us all the photos. Gilmer made sure to point out any creatures and give us insight. Manny & crew were able to help us snag 5 mahi mahi and the last one was a massive 60 pound male! Just incredible. On top of that they took us to a local restaurant to cook up our fresh fish. If we're not too tuckered out we may have to book another trip as I know it will be worth while. Great prices for life lasting memories, thanks again guys for being so awesome.

5/5 Highly Recommend…read more We booked two private tours with Absolute Adventures: first the Tulum Ruins, Swim with Turtles and Mexican Lunch on a Monday and then the Two Cenote and Mexican Lunch on Wednesday. For Tulum and Turtles our tour guide was Luis and our driver was Rodrigo. For the Cenotes, our tour guide was Arturo and our driver was Enrique. Both guides were exceptional and both drivers took good care of us. Booking online was simple and their communication about the tours, both confirming the tours before we left home and same day communication about pickup, was excellent. Our hotel turned out to be a headache about letting outside tour companies onto the property, and we ran into some real meet up issues because of it, but the team was super responsive and got it sorted quickly. It all worked out in the end, and honestly that kind of responsiveness under pressure told us a lot about how they run things. We started our Tulum tour early to beat the crowds and heat (highly recommend!). Luis guided us through Tulum and made sure we stayed hydrated the whole time, which matters more than people think when you're out in that heat. His knowledge of the area, the flora, the fauna, the history, was genuinely impressive, and he had this rare ability to be educational and entertaining at the same time without ever feeling like a lecture. At our turtle excursion he schlepped our gear and made sure we didn't forget anything, none of which was his job, he just did it because that's who he is. I was also practicing my broken Spanish throughout the trip, and Luis never once made me feel dumb or embarrassed when I got it wrong, which I really appreciated. For our next tour, Arturo took us to the cenotes. When he picked us up, he suggested we visit a different cenote than what we'd originally booked. I was a little skeptical, figured he just wanted a shorter drive. I was completely wrong. The cenote he picked instead allowed us to have two totally different types of experiences that we would have missed entirely otherwise, and I'm glad we trusted him. At Cenote Jaguar, Arturo gave our kids real time and space to jump and play, which ended up being a highlight of the whole trip for them. At Cenote Dos Ojos, claustrophobia was a real concern for us. But Arturo's tour through the caves was informative and calm enough that we felt genuinely safe the entire time. Between the logistics, the guides, and how they handled a hiccup that wasn't even their fault, these two tours were one of the best parts of our trip.

He was so knowledgeable and taught us so much about the area, the ruins, including a lot of info about Chichen Itza even though it wasn't on our tour. I learned a lot about the Mayan people and Aztecs. Unfortunately I underestimated my ability to handle the heat in the area but Eddy and our driver Rodrigo were amazing! I hung out in the shade so my husband could finish the tour, then Eddy got me out of the ruins so fast and back to Rodrigo. We had to cancel the cenote due to my heat exhaustion but they were so understanding and patient and got us back to our resort quickly. If ever in the area again I would absolutely try again and request Eddy as our tour guide!

Our guide Marcos (we requested since we had him on our 1st tour) is always friendly, outgoing, helpful and full of knowledge. We love how personalized this tour was, it was only me and my beautiful wife, along with Marcos and Don Phil. We stared the day with Don Phil, a Mayan, who performed a cleansing ritual to protect us on our travels. Though I couldn't understand the Mayan language I could feel the message and positive energy. We not only asked for protection in our travels but he renewed our vows as we were celebrating 18 years of marriage. Super cool and thankful for the honoring of native traditions and including us in blessings. Exploring amazing cavern cenotes in a closed system with stalagmites and stalactites everywhere, with varying sizes and types is a spectacular experience. Marcos is able to share so much detailed information and history, incorporating a focus on preservation and respect of the natural treasures. We toured 3 different cenotes, got amazing photos, and ended the day with a killer, authentic, home cooked meal (chicken en mole and beef chile relleno). I would not hesitate returning as these guys have always been my number one recommendation, since our 1st time with them in 2021.

The boat ride was short and sweet - saw one big croc. There's a variety of wildlife to observe, a trail to walk thru the forest, and a couple observation towers. The light house was fantastic! The museum under was nicely put together, however if you're a history buff, you'll need to be able to read Spanish fluently. Many areas to stop along the road and walk the shoreline. I rented a vehicle and was on my own terms to do what I wanted when I wanted - highly recommend. The only reason I gave a 4 stars instead of 5 is because the road is long and from beginning to end it is absolutely treacherous! It cost me $22.00 USD to enter.

This is the ferry terminal for those who want to go from Playa del Carmen to the island of Cozumel…read more It is conveniently located next to the Fifth Avenue shopping strip and is thus surrounded by lots of shops and restaurants. The ferry is huge so expect a long line. The wait was not too bad because the line moved quickly on board. The main con about this terminal area is the large amount of pushy street vendors. Beware of all of them trying to sell you overpriced tours, tickets and car rentals.
