The hotel is wonderful. The houses are only in palm height (= 3 floors) built and were well distributed on the Areal. The pool, the sea, the restaurants, (for me) the fitness studio were very easy to reach on foot. Alternatively drives the whole day the train the complex. So one comes evening from bar to bar or from the food to the next show. Very well done. Off course the hotel is not so large, the paths not also without any problems can walk to. The hotel complex is in super condition: everywhere is being worked on (decent), everything ... clean and tidy -to each daily and nighttime. Internet worked for free in the lobby, but ever more user there is, the more unstable and slow it is. Makes but nothing, because there is so much something to do and to see. There is really nothing to complain about. read more

    We had a junior suite. She has a large, free-standing jacuzzi in the room are. Toilet and shower are ' only by a glass door from the rest of the large room separated. A bit difficult for the privacy. The closet is large and with a safe equipped. Furthermore there are: tv (with information to the hotel, weather, Deutsche Welle), pullout sofa, table with chairs, well-functioning air-conditioner, fan, balcony with chairs, coffee maker, mini bar, telephone, large x information map in many languages. Room was always very clean made. We have a 2. cover desired, those have we also every day received. Furniture and general the room are in good condition. Bed was very comfortable.

    Since 5 hotels in an area are, there is for everyone a huge choice of restaurants: mexican, italian, chinese, japanese, steak grill and so on everything with reservation. Alternatively there is still 2 buffet-restaurant. Here there are different theme nights. The food is always perfectly arranged and was always immediately refilled, if necessary. Cleared only, if no guest more present, otherwise we could food, as much as we wanted. The choice of food in the buffet restaurant for every meal time is terrific. There is something there for any taste and there is every day new to discover and to try. Great! I would particularly like to highlight the 24 december : the restaurant was very nicely decorated with sculptures from eisblöcken, huge chocolate pyramid (chichen itza). Hummer of the finest quality. But also at the other days again and again differently decorated and arranged. A great achievement of the whole staff.

    The mexicans have a terribly pleasant and friendly nature. Not only in the hotel, but also in the whole country. Nobody is importunate, everyone was friendly. All wishes are met. It speaks in the hotel english. The cleaning of the rooms every day was perfect, the mini bar was always reliable refilled. Even deep at night were still hallways and toilets cleaned, so long entertainment was offered. Really top! The bartender in the white sand lobby are always totally on the ball, advised a and fulfilled also here all wishes, the its is possible.

    Beach chairs are probably in every holiday destination reserved... Without words. But there is at any time of the day enough sunbeds, since it features several pools. Also at the beach you could always find a chair. The loungers are tidy and one has the possibility, a large towel hire. Showers and sanitary plants are everywhere at the beach and at the pools and always super maintained. The animation at the pool is not intrusive. The offer is huge (beach volleyball, dance lessons, learn spanish, water polo, knowledge-quiz, snorkelling, and so on)

    Playa del Carmen is about 25 kilometers away, the airport Cancun 110 kilometer. The extensive beach is for each property easy to reach. Good shopping possibilities in the hotel lobbies (souvenirs, in the evenings always still additional goods, clothes, postcards, sweets, jewelry and so on) Night life is in the hotel offered in the form of super professional shows, disco, a lot of bars, live music (but never whilst sleeping mind) and even a shuttle service to Playa del Carmen to coco bongo (disco). We didn't go on any excursions, since we from the Yucatan-trip came. Only a few kilometers away to akumal to the beach we are with the collectivo (20 pesos) risks, to the turtles to snorkel, which we found. Everything is easy. We were also have the many free current animals on the complex pleased. Not to forget the beautiful pelicans in the sea.

In the buffet restaurant, as well as in the a la carte restaurants the food was fantastic something for everyone! What's also worth mentioning is for the reservation of the alla carte restaurants not in the morning in a queue to for the next evening place to get, but just go where you want and then either get a table or a pipsgerät with get and then as soon as the table vibrates the device or glows red and then you can go back to the restaurant and sit down!

    I had booked a junior suite. The room was in the colonial style with 2 king size beds, sofa, stuhlecke, desk, television, mini bar ( Cola, Fanta, Sprite and beer was refilled daily and in all-inclusive included), coffee and teeauswahl and balcony. The bathroom was generous with a toilet, large wash basin, large shower and jacuzzi bathtubs. Also were about 15 hangers (otherwise rather scarce), free safe, iron and ironing board and iron available. The furnishing is was already a little older, but in very good condition.

    I had booked all inclusive. The white sands does not have its own buffet. So you had to for breakfast in the neighboring hotel which however not a problem was. The breakfast buffet was very diverse. From the freshly squeezed juice on warm dishes to fruits and yogurt was everything available. Even sparkling wine was for breakfast already available. You could eat lunch in the buffet-style restaurant or at the beach eat out. The rights beach restaurant on the wedding chapel is the better. There one is served and we never waited longer than 3 minutes wait until someone came. One gets mexican snacks, as well as pizzas and burgers. The other beach lies near the pool of the colonial hotel. You get only the food there the one before at the bar ordered. There is also in general more the matter because of the proximity to pool. In the evening you can enjoy one of the many à la carte restaurant use (only in the beach restaurant and japanese theppanjaki you have to before reserve) or in the buffet restaurants. In the à la carte restaurant there is general dress code. ( men in long trousers). The buffet restaurants theme nights but mexican and american is always available. So if you at this selection nothing finds is even debt ☺

    The staff is consistently very friendly and hard-working a the vacation as beautiful as possible to make. I have it in 2 weeks not even experienced, not greeted with a smile and if you then a couple more words in spanish together get the smile becomes even wider. Even without giving any tip you get friendly and accommodating treated but under these circumstances one gives gladly something. Housekeeping was okay and the room always clean and with various figures effortless. Also i the first time experienced that my towel not was changed if i didn't want it.

    Entertainment was available but not pushy. Mostly at the pools. But as i only at the beach was, i was quite private. Diving i was with the water sports center at the beach. Is really recommendable. Prices, organization and staff really great. There was internet access free wi-fi in the lobby ( skype not possible). If lots of guests online it is correspondingly slowly but to write e-mail was enough. In the rooms is internet fee ( very expensive! ) The beach consists of fine sand and is quite clean. You can only in the area of the lifeguard tower without beach shoes into the water. At all other authorities began after 4-5 meters corals and it is without shoes very uncomfortable. There are plenty of loungers available and in good condition. Also depends on here and there a hammocks between palms to 'hang out' in. Between the many palm trees one can always find a shady spot and umbrellas are also available although not so many. ( but because of the palm trees also definitely not required)

    The beach is 5 minutes on foot. The hotel is about 30 kilometer from Tulum and Playa of the Carmen and 110 kilometer from Cancun away. The transfer took about 70 minutes To to buy one must to Playa of the Carmen in the pedestrian zone but with the ' collective ' not a problem is. TUI offers various excursions to the partly quite 'salted' prices ( for example Jeep Safari after sian Kaan 136€ per person! ).

After a very pleasant flight we arrived late in the evening in Cancun and on the airport exit promptly with a smell welcomes, the not from a conventional weed turning, which already times for some laughter made. Very quickly we were to the coach piloted, in which we +2 hours sitzzeit to the 11 hours flight as bonus credited got. Everything not a problem, because it is in each vacation country interesting, the local autobahnkrater to admire, but as horrible as expected, it was not at all. Already in the bus made a pleasant holiday feeling wide, the central america ... vegetation is worth seeing. The palladium group was very least for the bus left, because the best well known is at the end. The white sand lobby is very nice decorated and lit, as the other lobbies this hotelzusammenschlusses also. The welcome was fast and informationsbündig over the stage, probably, because we 80% of the information was at this time not to start. We were asked, the luggages at the side is possible to leave, which in the end a little regret it, as the 2 gepäcklieferanten obviously every suitcase individually to the rooms karrten. First, we used the all-inclusive right and made us about the leftovers of the buffet was (it was already as good as closed). Still we suspected not, what size of the apocalypse our sense of orientation before. The hotel complex is huge and quite nature, fortunately, there are trolley buses, the 10 minutes from lobby to lobby, so that the critical malnourished tourists yes no calorie too much consume. In the room arrived we had to find, that you could not manage, the luggage in 45 minutes there to transport, although the walk to the apartments is not too far and we at the time every suitcases 5 times dorthinhieven can. But it didn't matter, because we are very tolerant guests, finally came the luggage. So abstract: the hotel group has a gigantic facility (in which you also after a week still gladly runs ), you feel partly as in a jungle. Rooms were also sufficiently available, as far as i can judge that. On the street slept nobody. The cleanliness of the hotel there is also no reason for critic, because they are felt 2000 employees busy, the complex in shot to be held. Were german in the hotel rather less available, however therefor tons of english, spanish and canadians. The only little represented age of the guests was 16-22, probably just the age, in which one has no more desire, the producers subject to be. read more

    The only main complaint is here. The size, facilities and cleanliness of the room were perfect. The problem is located in the separation of bathroom to the room, because there is not really a. Toilet and shower are separate, but both have a glass door to the living room, with the frame not fully lock. In plain language, the zimmerkollege are not allowed at the movement of other partial share. Acoustically not time a problem, but if one suddenly the cloud in the room has, established a already some aggression. As bad the shower: out of the drain permanently an unpleasant mock crawled, the room completely fills and a welcomed warmly, if you from the beach again to the room comes. Otherwise would be the room spotless.

    Who it uses, can really from early until late burger in hereinpressen, because at the beach there is a snack bar, in the you everything possible, not healthy fast food food. At the main meals, one could occupy one of the 3 buffet-style restaurant to go. In the evening one has additionally still the choice between 10 (or so ) à la carte restaurant. The food was generally good, but lots of dishes did not like, as you expect or have bland food. At the end is but nevertheless satisfied, because the food choice is huge, that each something finds. One enters a büfettsaal, so the willkommensdame obliged, a place. You will sometimes 2 minutes from the room to the table, although anyway all tables are occupied and the free choice. Particularly like, that many drinks and snacks originals are and accordingly good taste. Unfortunate is however the oreo -icecream, a means, you the whole day to eat, because they so tasty. As already mentioned, there is also a bar in the beach/pool area, elsewhere you will most likely not stop. At cleaning and hygiene in the restaurant does not exist lots to whine about, even if the not closed restaurants from krähenähnlichen birds were occupied. But you can not from the staff demand, the birds completely out. Atmosphere in the hotel was unbeatable, especially at night at the beach it is very quiet and romantic. A little pushy, the securities, from time to time at the beach patrol, but just not be fooled by... One should give tip in the form of a Dollar notes spread.

    The staff was friendly. English less available, but at least smile embarrassed, if you which on non-spanish ask. The basic words like beer and pizza you understand but luckily. The room was cleaned thoroughly - the cleaning ladies can more animals out of towels forms, than it actually is and the room was also clean. Child care i needed luckily not, because my knowledge i have no offspring. Laundry was superfluous, because i brought my things simple 14 days on item, eventually fused one proper with the clothes.

    Internet gives it bucketful in the lobbies (for free). For guests, who believe a fool to have, they were athletic, there was even a fitness centre. It is bigger than some studio in Germany tip: take not before, this regularly to visit, because already on the 2. day be aware, that it was much more pleasant, at the snack bar to sit and cheesesandwiches to eradicate. Volleyball at the beach you can play, until the cycle in the midday sun breaks down or one goes simply at the pool and of the entertainment surprise. This is as often designed, that guests fully disgrace and so the other guests be maintained. In puncto cleanliness full marks. Beach as mentioned not ideal, but acceptable. The shows are well, the dancers as well as, the costumes anyway.

    The distance from the beach varies comprehensibly, depending on the location of the apartmenthütte. One runs in the case of the gau maximum 10 minutes, which in principle however not is bad, because every course is an experience. There are animals freely, even if it is almost impossible to think, the name of things to remember. Here and there one sees (hopefully timely) even a poisonous spider, any parts. The beach is not outstanding, there are just too many stones and shells in the sand, the walk is partly very unpleasant. The distance to the next larger city (in the case Playa del Carmen) is quite solid, one drives approximately minutes by car, there were also so-called collectivo's with which one for around 2.5 $there. (the course of American Dollar in Peso approximately 1:13, but you usually cheaper whcih, if you in the local currency to - Dollar will still gladly taken). Shopping you need in all-inclusive as we all know. Entertainment you through the shows quite good, the hotel disco was also quite popular, even if the disco what the age partly with clinically half dead is (please on 30 years in the evening simply times playing cards). You want the evening still varied guises, is it really worth it to Playa del Carmen to drive. Desk (Maya etc.) : there are numerous excursions were offered, which were reasonably priced but in itself have. So for a tour of a mayastätte and swimming in a senote and lunch just 100 Dollar/person going on, so you should consider, if you don't prefer a new lcd tv buys, but a tour you can make. Tip: themselves you offers from the hotel listen and then another tour operator book, because there it is partly to 30% cheaper and you get exactly the same/same no idea.

    The hotel has its own long beach front. The section, the closer to the white sand is a little coarse sand and there are some ' reef-fragments' rum. These are but through their various great very nice to look at. Since you have the whole beach section can use, you can also on the sandy section near the grand palladium kantenah/colonial a pool chair. The beach was never crowded. There was always vacant chairs. The area offers numerous possibilities a bit of time to pass. There are 2 souvenir shops, a sports-bar (colonial/kantenah), flamingo pool, crocodile gehäge and grounds, just at the beach small walks. During the day has the entertainment team for enough entertainment and also in the evening to arrange a few shows. Usually a professional dance/acrobatics ensemble and leads impressive shows on. A disco is also available. Musicians play on some evenings. The hotel is 90 minutes from Cancun airport away. To Playa del Carmen you need with the taxi about 30 minutes. The way to akumal is the shortest. Other destinations are 30 minutes to 2 hours away, depending on personal interests.

Mexico is a great destination and, in particular, the peninsula Yucatan is very safe and always worth a trip. For Europeans are akumal and Tulum very nice, while Cancun rather for the Americans is interesting. The hotel we would possibly. Book again, as long as with of the child care a clear improvement and you with complaints better handle. My e-year old, mentally disabled daughter was not at all comfortable in of the child care 'the Racoons ', as there were almost only Spanish spoken is (English moderate and German not at all!),- in addition, that there were only ... little motivated staff works, which any Expertise for the child care missing (work there architects! And very young staff, which still no children has). A advisor has my daughter very roughly arm held, as they did not understand what you want from your wanted. Really not recommendable. My complaint was not dealt with and an apology, there was also not. For a five-star hotel a absolute no-go! read more

    There are several à la carte restaurant, as well as countless buffet-style restaurant and bars ( please follow the different opening times of the individual hotel complexes). As already mentioned, we were already several times in the grand palladium bavarao in Punta Cana and we must unfortunately say, that buffet restaurant ( different topics in the week) just not convinced us, so that we actually every evening one of the many à la carte restaurant visited. Choice and quality of the food in the restaurants was for us top. The cocktails at the bars were also very tasty, but you different barkeeper also the same drink in different variants has been received. The cocktail menu but slick expanded ;-) Is very recommendable also the coffee-offer in Hemingway-bar, the however unfortunately only at o'clock was open. Also the offer the sports bar has in comparison to Punta Cana uS unfortunately no that convinced.

    The shuttle from the airport was with about 90 minutes after a -hour flight a bit long :-) but well worth it. The beach is very beautiful and not so crowded, like for instance in Punta Cana, however because of the lots of stones only in some places were really attractive for swimming and sun. For shopping is the next larger city' Playa del Carmen', which you easily on own fist with the collective, the directly on the street in front of the hotel hold (we didn't more than 10 minutes each waited ) explore can. The wal mart must be seen! The drive with the collective costs per person circa 3,50 American Dollar. Furthermore will, of course, countless excursions from the particular tour operators offered. Priority are probably the 'parks' in the surroundings, which we however because of the really high prices not visited.

We were after a great round trip in a junior suite with 52 square meters very good. The service was perfect. The choice of food in the restaurants and the buffets was excellent. It was easily in the 8 restaurants to get a table. The hotel lies however in the middle of nowhere and it is a bit of a problem getting away. Apart from taxis, there are Kollektivos on you at the street have to wait and then not always until exactly the desired destination drive. The tour operator offer relatively expensive excursions at.

A truly wonderful and relaxing vacation. After a one-week round trip we had for 2 weeks a Mayan suite in the royal area. Just perfect! If possible definitely book. The service of the staff excellent ( many thanks Alberto ). The restaurants all good to very good ( exception Chinese-goes in our opinion not at all). We stayed in the white Sands royal area. Very elegant hotel, super clean Toilets. Madly friendly staff. We were all around just happy and satisfied. Only the beach situation is to complain about. Steep sloping sandy beach. Into the water best only with bathing ... shoes. Swimming is actually not at all. Too shallow. The facilities for the Royals at the beach are although it is very nice (service perfect ). However here only at 8:30 Clock cleaned and swept. It takes sometimes until 11:00 o'clock. The young man is loud and rude (the only). The beach chairs were not at all. Billets hard and without cushions. The normal sun Lounger reasonable More peace you also at the beach, because you are not constantly with any music blaring (is the royal area). To make pools such loud music, that almost the ears. The you could hear depending on the wind direction, Miles. Despite complaints was the however not better. But we didn't really to moan. Was unique. Really beautiful and maintained complex. Very spacious, therefore the many guests not at all. The spa is unique. About 5000 square meters wellness Oasis. Definitely ausprobieben. With the travel guide thomas Cook we were not happy at all. We got not even a Rückreiseinfo. Had to take care of. That is unacceptable! However the journey was here opposite the TUI CIRCA 600. 00 euros per person cheaper. Since you have to make cuts. read more

    There is very lots of restaurants (italian, japanese and so on), i know not any more so exactly how many. Furthermore also buffet-style restaurant. The royal area had a extra restaurant, le jardin. We really have tried them all. Even if some not our taste, so were all good to very good. The service was mostly reasonable. Unless, a restaurant was overbooked, then it was a little younger and above. That came because of a spontaneous wedding but only once with us before. For breakfast we found le jardin somewhat ' narrow stocked ', especially if customers through the royal field and then for breakfast have been invited to attend. This has in our opinion over hand, so fast could then not at all the small buffet 's are after-put. We then went into one of the buffet-style restaurant gone, a great selection of all had. Altogether very tasty. The cleanliness was good. We had no complaints whatsoever. Of course one saw, if someone at the table sat. But it was quickly a new tablecloth was presented. If not equal to rush hours the coffee cups on the table were, we even itself took some. The staff were friendly. We have also tip given, in the restaurants exactly like at the bar or for the cleaning lady. But we had not the impression, that it expects from us.

Should be ', because we our only very rarely seen. The palladium Punta Cana (cathedral. Republic ) much better folded. But we have all of our front desk clear up may and there was always friendly and helpful. All speak good english. We also, so we had no problems. Only in the spa area should the reception in its friendliness work. But also only the reception. Apart from that is the whole spa area just very beautifully designed. I myself have also massages and was satisfied. So just watch, even if you nothing want to take. Complaints we had altogether no.

In the last february -week the royal area was a bit full, and so it could happen, that no beach bettoli was more free. But also so that we could good life. A beach chair there was always with umbrella. Showers were also on the beaches available. The beach itself is nice, but in the water it is often rocky.

    The hotel is a good driving lesson from the airport Cancun and of course directly at the beach. By the size of the area we had to however, the royal -beach to come, right on the other end. With bobby cars, and other vehicles however not a problem. And if no ride came, we are and have walked the great vegetation and enjoyed the animals. Entertainment in the evening the hotel offers plentiful, from live music about shows and disco. There are shops also in the hotel complex, however very expensive. We were in Playa del Carmen for shopping. There were plenty possibilities. We have also good, you can also outside of the complex good and safe move. Excursions there are plentiful. Recommendation: valladolid, very nice old colonial city. Also we have wonderful and was amazed at how light, how cheap you could go shopping.

However the 'bathroom' is a bit of getting used to, as it is a open area is. On the whole we can only positive reports. This complex is simply a dream and worth seeing.

El Hotel esta muy bien ubicado cerca de las atracciones de Xhel-Ha Xcaret y Tulum asi como la salida a la ruta de las piramides de Chichen-Itza. El hotel tiene una excelente distribución con parques y corredores en medio de la naturaleza, la playa es desafortunadamente no muy agradable ya que hay muchas rocas y para ninos es un poco peligrosa pues pueden lastimarse los pies. Por lo demas las instalaciones en si del hotel son exclelentes, hay un Catamaran que es muy disfrutado por los ninos y viajes pequenos en canoas (en el lago interno del hotel). La comida ... excelente. Aconsejaria se usaran coches electricos para transportar tanto equipaje como huespedes en las inmediaciones del Hotel. Un hotel para toda la familia!! read more

We stayed in a junior suite royal. The rooms are very thin but we had on our trip through Yucatan, before the seaside holiday, most hotels were also very badly soundproofed. This is probably due to the architecture. Those who wish to avoid the Maja suites can book. These are individually standing bungalows. The hotel offers a lot of variety and size of the specific service in the royal area You can also good retreat. read more

great holiday in excellent hotel

The hotel area was very large. You can reach everything on foot or use the shuttle service. The food was delicious (we tried both à la carte restaurants as well as the buffet restaurants) and well stocked. The rooms were nice and clean. The staff are very nice and helpful. The beach is nice, some rocky, but there are also many sandy Bodies. Snorkeling on the beach is possible, you can see some really great fish. At the pools every day entertainment, if you want to use, it was offered a lot. Wireless Internet is available free of charge in ... the lobby and at the beach bar. Wireless Internet in the room Punta Emilia is liable to pay the costs. The trip to Tulum we have done on your own with the collectivo, cost about 30 pesos per person unfortunately we had with the weather was a bit bad luck (Hurricane warning, rain), had lovely sunny days. However, we were always well cared for and well informed (State hurricane evacuation and, where appropriate). The dollar not gladly seen, rather pesos change or pay with euros. All in all a great great holiday in an exquisitely hotel-absolutely recommendable! read more

Incredibly impressive hotel complex

  • October 2011
We have never stayed in such a lovely area used. The whole complex is very naturally developed. One has the feeling through the middle of the jungle to walk. The area is a river. Furthermore you will find enclosure with crocodiles (very well protected) and Flamingos. The hotel is very maintained( everywhere one sees gardener). We were on our honeymoon and had a royal junior suite, which I to anyone other would recommend, since the' extra charge' it is very low and very lots of extras get. At guests were as especially Americans, Canadians and Spanish. Also other European Nations ... were represented, but rather a few. Of the structure were the guests time couples, time family, just everything available and the age also everything was represented. This mixed clientele was very pleasant. read more

    We had a royal junior suite. What can I say: about 40 square meters, shower, view of the sea and on the balcony a jacuzzi. The mini bar was replenished daily free of charge. It was so great. As already mentioned, for cleanliness is respected.

  • Gastronomy
    6.0

    The whole complex has about 30 restaurants and bars. No matter whether for example in the part of white sand or Rivera has been posted, you can all use. There is an à la carte and buffet- restaurants the Oriental kitchen, on the Mexican, Italian, asian, Japanese, mediterranean... Simply everything. We have some restaurants visited and in any individual it was really delicious. The offer is so plentiful and everything was very fresh. Sometimes there was also show cooking. The breakfast you can also in these various restaurants and whether you friend American Variant or rather on toast is, it is totally complete and leave nothing to be desired. Definitely the even squeezed juices try. Very pleasant also, that only all inclusive is, that is to say on the whole area one needed no cash (the beach not), unless you want tip give.

  • Service
    6.0

    The staff are extremely nice, accommodating and attempted also to speak German. In any case but you get along with English and Spanish everywhere navigate. The rooms were cleaned daily and the beds changed. Everything was always tippi toppi. Laundry could be used for payment use( price normal). You get everything very tidy back. We had the royal package, there was a 24 h room service free with inside. Was already fun, sometimes so spoil to leave. The complex is itself very big and spacious. But noise or annoying tourists no trace, as the accommodations are individually and only approximately 20 rooms included. From A to B to come, there is several Buggies on the area, a free ride around (also to the beach, if 10 minutes walk too far are).

  • Sport & Entertainment
    0

    There is a fitness center and outside lots of possibilities already on the complex ( miniature golf, Football, archery,...). But we didn't use it. At the beach one can drive jet ski, windsurfing and snorkeling. The pools are very clean (in the large gives it directly inside a pool bar). You have locally some shops for jewelry, Souvenirs, but nothing special.

    The hotel lies about one and a half hours from the airport Cancun. The streets are very well-built. The complex itself is directly at the wonderful sandy beach location. The water was turquoise blue and one can meter far in the depth look. About 50 meters into the water inside you snorkeling. Here there are 2 bars, the snacks offer. The town of Playa del Carmen isn't far away. There in the center (fifth avenue), there are several shops, restaurants, bars..., a beautiful shopping Mile directly at the beach location. Apart from that one reaches also quite fast Tulum (Maya-Tempel) or a large reef snorkeling. If you want something really great undertake would, after Xel-ha drive. There is a natural waterpark, in which you actively move can( snorkeling is excellent) or cliff jumping, with large Schlachringen a shallow river along. It was unique and will long be remembered.
