One of the drivers @ the resort recommended this place to us. Not only that, he took us there,…read morewhich was roughly 30 minutes away & waited there til we were done. I have a huge fear of heights and I don't swim..so doing this...helped me conquer those fears a bit. Our tour guide was amazing. He was friendly and hilarious! We started off by zip lining, very fun. After that, we jumped into their first sink hole ( where I thought if I jumped and covered my face..I could preserve my makeup...wrong, lol ). After a few jumps into the first sinkhole, we went ATV riding. Suchhhh fun! The thrill on that ATV was amazing! We drove the ATV's to their 2nd large sinkhole. Where we were able to zip line into the water below, OR you could jump off their manmade "cliffs" (per-say). Lord have mercy on my soul, I was shaking like a baby, but after a few " screw it Vy, you got here this far, might as well " I managed. The last jump, however...landed wrong and ended hurting myself a bit. Regardless, those precious memories of conquering your own fears, is what I live for. After the 2nd sinkhole, we took the ATV a different route back to base, to which they had lunch ready for us. Note, you aren't allowed to take your phone with you. Or use sunscreen or bug repellent, they want to preserve the waters in the sinkholes. And pictures are done through them, you can purchase after the whole shenanigans.

GREAT EXPERIENCE! People were great!…read more In addition to lockers, also a full restaurant w/beer (no hard liquor). The chicken empanadas and the tacos were great. Would not really recommend the chicken flautas (more like chicken fingers and cheese flautas). If you do this as a tour package, the tour operators MAY tell you no cellphones so they can sell you the photo package. We drive there ( no parking fee) so we were allowed phones. There are two Cenotes. DO the package w/two Cenotes. Even though the Cenote at the main place is nice, the one offsite is even better. 3 levels of platforms to jump from and a very LARGE Cenote to swim in. Even though we took out own pictures, we bought the picture package for $60 usd as the photographer took some really great pictures. Highly recommend this place.

The water is pretty calm, so no putting up with massive waves. The pelicans stay a good distance away. There's so many options in staggering distance from this beach for bathrooms, cantinas, drinks, shade, whatever. This is the top end of isla mujeres (island of women.) The other end of Isla Mujeres, across the island from this beach is the easternmost point of Mexico! This beach is free. It's not associated directly with any hotel or restaurant, so anyone can come here, and they do.

One of the prettiest beaches I have ever been on. It's located on the leeward north edge of the…read moreisland and doesn't have huge waves. Shallow waters make it a perfect beach for enjoying both sand and surf. Many boats will pull up to this beach as well and people will get off and wade up to the beach restaurants/bars. We had minimal seaweed when we were there. Many of the beachfront hotels offer umbrellas and beach chairs. You do not have to be a guest of the hotel to use the umbrellas/chairs. They will charge approximately $150 MEX per chair and umbrella. Pay in Pesos. It cost us $450 for all three. That's only about $23 USD for all day so it's very affordable. The only downside is the constant flow of vendors selling everything from massages to trinkets, to beach towels. Don't be surprised if you see various forms of fully armed Mexican law enforcement. Bottom line - Beautiful beaches, soft sand, and perfect water. What more can you ask for.

That's what you get at Xcacel. I didn't detect any crazy rip tides or strong currents - and went about a mile off shore - far enough that to lose sight of landmarks to return to the beach (forget about remembering where clothing, sandals and water bottle!). I did not see any turtles here but I did see a lot of fish - it was fantastic. One of the best beach experiences I have had in my life - I will definitely go back. This is a DIY, advanced level snorkeling and swimming beach. There are tours showing up with the occasional busload of people to see the tiny cenote and to trek onto the beach but - the beach is so big - I really didn't see many other people. There are no services - just a kiosk on the driveway for your donation/entry fee. Bring your own EVERYTHING.

We snorkeled on our own and saw quite a few fish and a barracuda. We didn't see any turtles, but it's possible that we just weren't looking in the right place. There's also a small cenote in the back with a ton of fish. I liked that the price of admission was low enough that we didn't feel compelled to spend too much time in the cold cenote water. The location is kind of hard to spot from the road. There's just one small banner with a picture of a turtle on it on the side of the road, and by the time you see it, it's probably too late to turn in.
