I went on a Sunday and the park was very quiet, which was fantastic. I enjoyed the 4 cenote pools one after the other. You can take a small kayak around the lakes for free. I saw iguanas and spider monkeys in the wild (between cenote 2 and 3 while walking on the steps in the jungle, look up on the trees to spot a family of spider monkeys). Note: renting a locker is an extra charge with a deposit, but you can take your stuff with you. The restaurant looks great and closes around 4pm. You can upgrade for tours as there are 2 additionals cenotes (grotto and underground river) that are not included in the basic entry. There are showers and changing rooms available.

Overall a very nice experience, but the guide could have told us more about the cenotes and the Mayas. Everyone there was super friendly and the scenic experience was very beautiful. We thought the price (we opted for the middle category: all cenotes - without cave, underground river - but with lunch and drinks) was a bit too much. Unfortunately we weren't shown the museum.

This was an amazing adventure. The caves were absolutely beautiful! We really enjoyed going to all the Cenotes after our cave adventure. I would highly recommend this activity. Give yourself extra time to explore after your tour. 10/10
