We were very happy with our trip, overall, and the help we got from Charlotte and others. The various things that were less than perfect that we point out here are just for your ability to improve going forward - not strong criticisms!
Hotel Reviews
The hotel was both beautiful and very well located. The staff was exceptional. A couple of minor issues. The bed wasn't great. And the hotel was next door to what is functioning as a doggy day care or kennel, so every so often the barking was pretty crazy.
Everything was fine. The room itself didn't have much character. Pretty much like any other motel in the U.S.
Activity Reviews
The cenotes were uncrowded, and totally beautiful. The bike ride was a perfectly reasonable way to get there and back, but nothing special. I think your info indicated a spanish speaking guide, which would have been ok, but he actually spoke english quite well
Our guide (trained as an achitect) spoke english well and was very knowledgeable. The site itself probably doesn't live up to the "7 wonders of the world" but was none the less very cool and interesting.
We enjoyed this, especially my wife who is a knitter, etc., but to call it a "workshop" is an overstatement. We spent only a couple of minutes weaving, and no one spoke english. It was fun to watch, and try, briefly, ourselves.
This site was probably more beautiful and interesting than Chichen Itza. Again, the guide was both very knowledgeable and spoke English quite well.
Everything about this, from the setting to the market to the teacher to the food was great.
