    Beautiful cenote in a the small town of Motul. We went on a weekday morning and had the entire place to ourselves. The water is amazing and your eyes quickly adjust to darkness. Great place to cool off and a very inexpensive.

    Safe and small, with a man made skylight in the middle. I visited in December so it wasn't crowded. Great experience for the whole family and it costs less than a dollar per ticket.

    It is worth the 12 peso admission price. It's not huge, but it is a great spot to cool off and swim underground. The facilities are well-maintained and offer bathrooms and spots to change into swimwear. Also, there are showers for after swimming. There is a little restaurant right in the adjacent park that looked good. The park is well kept and pleasant to hang out in and enjoy the sun.

    It's a small cenote, there's not a lot of options close by, so it's ok

    Beautiful clear water cenote that is semi underground. The water isn’t deep. You can touch the bottom in most parts. April 2022 - the female toilets need to be fixed. They do not flush and some funky stuff was in the toilet bowl 😵‍💫

    Wonderful place! Small but beautiful. Price is reasonable (40 pesos per adult with 10 pesos to rent a locker). Free parking. On the way there, we stopped at a street taco stand owned by Christian. The BEST asada tacos we've ever had... his brother, Victor, owns the restaurant AT the cenote, and he was SO gracious! Our entire experience was awesome, Start to Finish.

    It's only worth five stars if you swim to the other cavern bybdragging yourself by your hands face up holding into the rock. Not for the faint of heart!

    Was disappointed to see how small it actually was. The grounds are also very run down. Did swim in the cenote which was very small but a good experience over all.

    Welcoming staff, quite, nice little cafe. Of course main thing is the cenotes which does not disappoint either. Access is limited when water level is high but can still take a dip in it.

    This is a great place to visit located 10 minutes from main downtown. It's a deep sinkhole in limestone with beautiful clear water you can see fish swim. This place provided 🦺. You can also enjoy their small local museum.

    if you've never experienced an underground lake before, then you'll be intrigued by this. Unfortunately, unknown to my hosts, i used to go cave diving in England & Wales, so the cenote was not thrilling me...The bats, however, were!!

    Speaking from the point of view from an American tourist from NYC, this was such a refreshing and charming little escape. The staff and shopkeepers were some of the loveliest people we met while visiting the area (and surrounding areas) and the restaurant was great. The centote swimming area is admittedly small, but none-the-less refreshing and we met a wonderful family. All in all a one of a kind stop-off

    What a nice awesome little place. My two years old kid loved it. The waters are not deep, so I felt safe to get my kid inside. Price is good and worth it. We went during the week an pretty much got the place to ourselves. There is also a shopping corner with some artisan works.

    Don't bother with this "cenote" in Motul. Go to CUZAMA ride the train and experience AMAZING CENOTES!

  • 1/5 C Ray W. 2 years ago on Google
    August fom 2021... we had a wonderful time at Cenote Sambulá... We returned today... and the cenote is 1 meter more shallow than before... The flat area dfrom the stairs to the hole... is dry... the benches are dry... The people running the Cenote Sambulá still charged the same and m=never mentioned the unsightly cenote...

    Off the beaten path. Few foreign tourists.

    Small cenote, I arrived while it was very crowded, which I dont mind, but it is great for a quick stop to stretch the legs if you are on a roadtrip. Lovely local people around. It has interesting spots for pictures .

  • 5/5 Luxy T. 4 years ago on Google
    Beautiful cenote. Very clean and crystal water, the place is shallow so it is safe for anyone. The place is not well known for what is common to see it with few people. It has parking and bicycle rental premises for tours of the area. The facilities of the place are in good condition
