Great local experiences!

Mexico | Mar 25 - Apr 4, 2026

Beautiful hotel in a nature reserve, very quiet, with a nice little beach. Great breakfast by the seaside, and an amazing outdoor yoga space. The pool is much smaller than it looks in the pictures though. And access to the nature reserve, for this and many other hotels, is a bit complicated, with guards stopping you every time you enter coming from the city, searching your car for any plastic and asking you to pay the daily fee. The small hassle is well worth it though. Once you are in, it's lovely.

Excellent hotel in the city center. Comfortable rooms, nice pool, and beautiful restaurant, including a rooftop. Parking was free and easy. Highly recommend going to the Zaci cenote, which is just a 5-10 minutes walk from the hotel.

Beautiful hotel on the beach. The rooms were very comfortable, and the views amazing. Only complaint would be that, due to the rain, large puddles of still, murky water formed between the hotel area and the beach, making beach access a bit difficult and unsightly.

Absolutely loved this group bike tour to three cenotes! Oswaldo, our guide, was outstanding, and the three cenotes each were different (one fully covered, one half covered, one open). We learned a lot, and had fun swimming, diving and following our guide through tight passages in the caves and taking photos underwater. Also very much enjoyed the delicious lunch the local ladies cooked for us at the end.

Wonderful nature experience! Our guide, Manuel, was outstanding at managing our group of about 12 people from various countries. Beautiful boat ride through the mangroves, with lots of bird sightings, and some manatees. Highlight was floating/swimming down a river, being pulled by the current, through the mangrove forest. The tour started with breakfast and ended with lunch at the community center, which was a nice way to get to know the other people in the group.

Very local experience in a town of about 250 people. Saw spider monkeys, walked through a forest, zip-lined over a lagoon, canoed across the water, and descended into a very deep, dark cenote. Our guide, Julio, was knowledgeable and spoke English. Had a delicious lunch at the local restaurant after. Not as exciting as other tours we did but well worth a visit if you are interested in small-scale, sustainable tourism run by local people.

Loved spending the day with the local community in Yaxunah! Everything was in Spanish - from the cooking, to visiting the herb garden, to learning how to make hammocks, watching the men craft jewelry from bull horns, and visiting the local Mayan ruins. The food they cooked for us was incredible, and the cenote we swam in beautiful!

Beautiful nature reserve, but not as memorable an experience as Sian Ka'an for instance. The tour was in Spanish only, by the boat driver. Saw amazing birds, including pink flamingos (from afar) - and three crocodiles very close up! Las Coloradas were more brown than pink, but still interesting to see. The Mayan bath (fango mud) at the end was fun.
