The experience was great. The crew is friendly, timely and helpful. Raul was easy to talk to and get answers from. We had Fernando, Lola, and three others as part of the crew. The ceviche was really delicious (I had two bowls) and the drinks were also great. I didn’t see as many fish as I would have wanted and the coral reef is not as colorful as I had imagined, but that is not the tour operator’s fault. We humans have polluted the oceans and that has resulted in damage to the reefs and marine life. All in all it was a very fun experience, though, and I’m glad we did it!

Came in late July/early august 2022 on a cruise ship. Miguel was our server and he was wonderful, ask for him!! The food here is so good, I recommend the chicken tenders. They make a good Long Island iced tea. Miguel came around often to ask if we needed anything. This place is all inclusive so we definitely took advantage, lol. The pool is warm, which was nice because it was a gloomy day and rained a bit. We really liked it here and would absolutely come back.

Nice excursion. The visit to the two archaeological excavations was beautiful. You don't have to go all the way to Tulúm to see the Mayan influences.

very easy to find the group, nice atmosphere on the boat with loads of music and smiles, good experience in the sea snorkeling and yes we saw a turtel

Fantastic experience for the whole family - amazing dolphins and extremely competent crew.
