Sarah ChoJanuary 20, 2015Def the cleanest most picturesque, well maintained and well thought out water parks I have ever seen. Helpful signs everywhere, food is delish, a lot of fun activities = lots of smiles all around

Lynn PinaApril 6, 2013Lots to do and it's very clean. You really need more than a day to do it all. The snorkeling is great. While expensive so is the swimming with the dolphins. Don't miss the rope swing over the cenote.Upvote9Downvote- Beach Vacations FirsthandFebruary 18, 2015Great place for the entire family. Clear, warm water with no current and colorful fish of all sizes. Snorkeling is some of the best that you will find. All inclusive food and drink. Very relaxing. Read moreUpvote5Downvote
Bokyung ParkFebruary 19, 2024It’s a natural lagoon. The park has so many things to do. The lighthouse Waterslide was thrilling, and I enjoyed cliff jumping, which was scary at the moment.
UpvoteDownvote- Steffanie RamirezJune 30, 2016I love this park you have to do an extra activity I recommend swim with dolphins, the seatreck and the snuba cenote. Don't forget your sunscreen!Upvote1Downvote
laura uribeFebruary 20, 2016Everything is good there! Get the Plus Package and you can eat and drink All you want. Beer and mixed drinks included. Beautiful place! I recommend to buy the picture package too.UpvoteDownvote
Jonathan LacombeMarch 6, 2015Wow.. I mean this is a taste of paradise on earth there is no doubt about it. If it's your first time there don't bother with buying in the extra activities, there is plenty to to do therr for free.

Michael SanchezOctober 8, 2014Everything was great! The inclusive package with the Swim with the Dolphins was wonderful. The staff is very pleasant and helpful, the scenery was breathtaking, lots of shaded areas.UpvoteDownvote
Cat ColmanDecember 31, 2013This is a an absolutely amazingly beautiful place. Ignore all the hyped up "activities" and find the secret beach. Don't forget to spend most of your time snorkeling - try to find the sting rays!UpvoteDownvote
Starskreem TFebruary 8, 2015Had a fantastic time here. The extra activities may seem expensive but they are well worth the money. We did zip bike and the sea trek and both were greatUpvoteDownvote
Hakeem MidanAugust 26, 2018Free food (breakfast and lunch open buffets) and lots of water fun 🥗✨🐠🌺 PS: Some of the activities cost extra. But overall, it’s pretty fun 🎉💃🏽UpvoteDownvote- 陳雄暉 弟兄September 18, 2015If you're already at the edge of the Cliff of Courage, the choice is as clear as the water below. Don't think. Do. People waiting behind you will appreciate it.

Sofia PapastamelosJune 2, 2016Very relaxing and great food. Only bummer is that you honestly have to pay extra for all the cool stuff. Otherwise you are just swimming and snorkeling.UpvoteDownvote
Mayttee FlazSeptember 30, 2018Had such an amazing experience my family loved it the food was great and drinks were all included which is awesome!!UpvoteDownvote
The Ritz-CarltonMay 1, 2012Xel-Há is the world's largest natural aquarium, featuring pristine beaches and a floral wonderland. Located close to the Tulum Archeological Site, lookout points and photo ops abound.UpvoteDownvote
Jake PerrieNovember 28, 2010When snorkelling, head to the cafe area under the bridge... The big fish hide there (3/4ft long) and wear flippers on the lazy river when in a rubber tube. If you fall out of the tube your screwed!!Upvote13Downvote
GilbertoAugust 25, 2012Start at the top of the river so you can see all that the park has to offer, you will be surprisedUpvote2Downvote
Ivan CarvalhoDecember 30, 2014Arrive ealy in the morning. The park is empty and is great to enjoy the attractions.Upvote1Downvote

Flavia OliveiraMarch 14, 2015Wonderful to stay all day, you can enjoy more because there are many things to do that.UpvoteDownvote
S G MMay 29, 2015The buffet. . It does need more share and coke zones for the older crowed. Otherwise I love this pave bring your underwater cameraUpvoteDownvote
Pedro AguiarSeptember 29, 2013Awesome place....snorkeling and seeing the sting rays and various fishes was really amazing! Food is great too!!!UpvoteDownvote
Lauren LJanuary 3, 2012We had a blast here today! The park is huge with lots to do! Be prepared to walk a lot though! There is also free wifi all over the park!

Pablo TeranDecember 23, 2014Actually everything is good. The only downside is that you can't do everything in just one day.UpvoteDownvote
Eugenia PalaciosMarch 8, 2016Arrive early, biy the photo package and take the most of it by taking photos everywhere you can!UpvoteDownvote
Yolis GarzaFebruary 2, 2018New balcony and slide are cool and fun. Check out waiting times beforeUpvoteDownvote
David Fajardo PulidoJune 20, 2018Amazing park, a bit overcrowded but lots of things to do.UpvoteDownvote
Amy GripsJanuary 17, 2017Great place but DON'T combine with another tour. We combined with tulum and had to speed walk through the ruins and only managed to fit in snorkelling and zip line. Was very disappointed.UpvoteDownvote- Jonathan LacombeMarch 6, 2015They will ask you to leave out off the park your sunscreen if its not all natural (to protect the environment) and try to sell your theirs.Upvote1Downvote
- Mike CollinsMarch 31, 2011You gotta love and all-you-can-drink that allows you the opportunity to ropeswing dive into a cave and jump off a 20-foot cliff.UpvoteDownvote
Kim TruongMay 4, 2013Have to come here every time I'm in Mexico. Always the highlight of my entire trip.Upvote5Downvote
Ashley MayoDecember 9, 2013If you want to do all of the fun stuff the park has to offer, be prepared to spend $300+ each. Xplor was way better.UpvoteDownvote
İskender ErdemAugust 5, 2014Doesn't worth that money just for jumping from 2 places and an activation area like walking on the ropes above the sea. All other activities are extra, at least 49 USD!! Dolphins 45 min not one hour..UpvoteDownvote
- Jake PerrieNovember 28, 2010Paying 90 bucks to see the dolphins is a rip off, wait until the enclosure is shut and just jump the rope and the dolphins swim up, stroke em for free lolUpvote9Downvote

Liliana VillaverdeJuly 10, 2010beautiful place, you can swim and snorkel amidst hundreds of multicolored fish.I loved it!!Upvote2Downvote
Ashley SutherlandDecember 24, 2014Not a fan. Came here around 5 years ago and it seems they have let the place go. Food was gross, barely saw any fish when you were snorkeling, water was way to murky. The lighthouse was a let down lolUpvote1Downvote
Do not forget to walk through the forest it is magicUpvote3Downvote
Kurt SquireJuly 10, 2010Great park but no swimmable beach and not much for kids to do under age 4-5.Upvote1Downvote
