😐 This was the first church built in Cancun. It dates back to 1970-72. The focal point is the windowed cross once you enter.

👍👍 One of the best beaches in Cancun. Beautiful water, so clean, well maintained. Access to the beach is free. You may just give a few box as a tip to the people helping you to get into the parking.

👍👍 The experience went by too fast...2 hours. Carlos - the instructor was great! Driving the speed boat was something else which will blow your mind. The group was manageable and although I wasn't able to speak Spanish and being a non-swimmer, i kept up with the team and Carlos even took my hands and...

Speedboat rides, reef diving trips & guided jungle walks from a popular coastal tour center.

👍👍 Do not, I repeat, do not bring a beer into this park. This park is awesome but the super corrupt police nearly brought me to jail and tried to extort $400 out of me for having a single beer here. Otherwise, love this place. Scary police here. Beware!

👍👍 This was amazing, we had the best time. Moyes (apologies for the spelling) was INCREDIBLE. He helped us see turtles, sting rays and lots of pretty fish. I booked my excursion through viator who gave us some troubles and total snorkel said no worries, kept us on track and made the experience unforget...

Mayan ruins accessed through a museum with shaded trails connecting each section of the site.

I was even happier when you told me to come again next year haha. I hope to see you again next year. Thank you for your hard work.

👍👍 Fantastic course! Great value for the twilight rate. It was a little over $100 American dollars with a cart and unlimited food and beverage. Pro shop was nothing special but I’m ok with that because the course was amazing and in great shape. Tons of wild life to look out. Saw a crocodile on the 4th...

👍👍 A breathtaking perspective on a place often overlooked. Among the hubbub of all the tourist attractions in Cancun, little is more impressive than the mangrove forest nestled right by the hotel zone. Filled to the brim with life, go kayak allowed me to experience firsthand the wonders of the brackish...

👍 This bridge is an iconic point in the hotel zone of Cancun. No to many years ago you could walk under the bridge from one side of the avenue to the other. Now, some tourist attractions have illegally close the way. Why? Corruption. As always happens in touristic cities, corruption is the answer for...
