Wonderful experience for the whole family. We especially loved the tour on the ATV’s with the Cenote. Snorkeling wasn’t very good due to Sargasm changing the water to brown. The hotel had everything you could want to do with kids, great staff everywhere trying to please you in every way. The only negative was lobby not air conditioned but all in all a wonderful experience!
