It was great overall and with good organization, which is not obvious in Mexico. Loved the crew and how they managed the crowd. I was hoping for a stop ad Cielo beach but we ended up at the crowded Mia Grand beach park, but this is because of food/lunch options. The food was actuallly the only downside as it was basic and pre-cooked and came in cold. Also not too much time on the beach ( only 50 mins including eating)

This trip was amazing!! The crew was beyond fabulous! We took off to our first reef and snorkeled then got back on the catamaran and went to our next spot about 10min away. We saw starfish and other fish. We then headed to another beach only waist deep. We then went to playa Mia for lunch and fun. The trip back was filled with music, dancing, beverages and so much fun. I highly recommend this trip!

The location on the reservation was wrong so we were scared walking around Mexico list, but the customer service did an excellent job of connecting us with the provider and giving us the new location. Also, it said it was English but it was all I Spanish although we did have a translator who was amazing.
