Review of Las Caletas Beach and Adventure Park in Puerto Vallarta, with boat ride, family activities, buffet lunch, open bar, costs, and tips.
“Beautiful beach and a great experience overall. Lots to do and many available activities for families with young kids or teens. Great for couples also. The food was surprisingly good and the service was excellent with great cocktails. Highly recommended.”
Review of a 12-hour Chichén Itzá tour from Cancún with a cenote swim, Valladolid buffet, bilingual guide, breakfast, and transport.
“This was a great adventure and seeing Chichen Itzá was the highlight for us. We wished we had more time at this stop but we were able to see everything (just had to move fast). The cenote was also amazing and on the way out we came across an example of a traditional home where a woman was cooking and handing out homemade tortillas - AMAZING. The facilities here were quite beautiful and the swimming is fun but crowded. Visiting Valladolid was interesting as well but our least favorite stop if we had to pick one. We are both vegans and the food at the buffet was limited for us,…”
Review of Cancun’s Isla Mujeres catamaran tour, with snorkeling, open bar, beach time, lunch options, transfers, costs, and practical tips.
“The whole experience was beautiful and fun. Snorkeling was an amazing opportunity, but at first it did feel a little crowded in the water and we weren’t totally sure what to do. A bit more instruction would’ve helped. Also, make sure to tighten your life vest before jumping in — mine was loose since we were rushing, and it rubbed my arm pretty badly. After snorkeling, we headed to Isla Mujeres, which was definitely one of the best parts of the tour. Renting a golf cart (which is an extra cost) was totally worth it — it allowed us to explore much more of the island and really enjoy how…”
Review of a 12-hour Playa del Carmen tour to Ek Balam, Chichen Itza, Cenote Chichikan, and a Mexican buffet lunch.
“We were disappointed that the tour was cancelled the day before. Evidently they did not get enough people to have that early morning tour. Amigo tours offered to put us on the later tour that did not included Ek Balam and did not include viator’s discount. Because we were wanting to go to Chichen Itza we went ahead and took the tour but we were still disappointed that we didn’t get to see Ek Balam and had to go to Valladolid which was a waste of time. If you have seen a city square in Mexico you have already seen this one. We did enjoy the guides, Pastor, Cuau and…”
Review of Merida’s Chichen Itza, cenote, buffet lunch, and Izamal day tour, with honest advice on costs, heat, timing, and value.
“This was one of the greatest adventures of my life! The tour guide was amazing!! I highly recommend this adventure.”
Review of Xplor Fuego near Cancun, with night zip lines, cave rafting, amphibious vehicles, buffet dinner, transport, tips, and honest value advice.
“This park is a workout. A lot of walking. Also wear water shoes that don't slip. This park is awesome. The food is delicious!!”
Review of KUZÁ Beach Pass in Cozumel, with buffet, open bar, beach time, activities, costs, transport tips, and practical advice.
“Went to KUZÁ to try the new beach. The beach was very nice with exception beach has a lot of rocks and shells in the water so I would suggest to bring water shoes. The food was fantastic. Now the drinks on the other hand were not very good. Beers were good they couldnt mess that up but the drinks tasted bad the strawberry daiquiri tasted like an orange drink just all the drinks for we’re off in the taste. I don’t know they could improve that. But the beach was big and plenty of chairs for everyone. I would give it a Five Star, but they need to improve…”
Review of Puerto Vallarta’s Rhythms of the Night, with sunset sailing, dinner, open bar, jungle theater, value, tips, and practical advice.
“We really enjoyed this tour! Our guides on the boat were entertaining and kept everyone’s drinks filled. Dinner was delicious. While there are lots of people on same tour, it still felt you were on a deserted island. The show itself was impressive as well. Things to be aware of: men do not have to wear pants. Plenty of people were shorts. Depending on when you go, it’s extremely hot. Dress comfortable. Plenty of people dress up but comfort is also key.”
Review of a 12-hour Playa del Carmen tour to Chichen Itza, Cenote Chichikan, Valladolid, and buffet lunch, with costs and practical tips.
“10/10 experience! Frank was an amazing travel guide, super knowledgeable, friendly, funny and helpful. And Emanuel was our driver who was also very lovely and made sure we got everywhere safely”
Review of Cozumel’s KUZÁ Beach Day with a Mexican cooking class, buffet, open bar, beach time, culture, and optional water activities.
“Let me say that the staff at Kuza was very nice but that's pretty much the only positive for me. Taxi rides to and from the park were very expensive. Pretty much predatory and there is absolutely no mention of that cost when booking the excursion. Just FYI it cost $65 for 2 adults and 3 kids one way. We were told we could negotiate but once they know you have reservations, you're at their mercy. When we arrived at Kuza, we were taken back to the beach and told that our Mexican flavors class was at 9:15am and then another staff member told us 9:30. We arrived around 9:20…”
Review of a Mérida day trip to Chichén Itzá, Xcajum Cenote, Izamal, and a Yucatecan buffet, with costs, timing, tips, and drawbacks.
“I am extremely satisfied with the quality of the tour, the tour guide Miguel was very professional throughout the day and provided so much information. The tour was perfectly organised and run on time. I think two hours in Chichen Itza was enough time (one hour of explanations and one hour for walking on your own) also considering the severe heat. I welcome the opportunity to visit the Chichikan cenote which felt very relaxing on a long day. I would definitely go on this tour again.”
Ride an electric bike and camel along Baja beaches, then enjoy a Mexican buffet, margarita lesson, tequila tasting, and whale views.
“First time riding an e-bike. I hadn’t ridden a bicycle in a number of years. As a senior I was a little nervous, but our guide, Raul, was great at teaching and encouraging me. Terrific! The property is beautiful, the route wonderful , the buffet delicious and the sunset spectacular. All in all a great experience.”
Pick the kind of day first, then pick the coast.
