United KingdomThis was my 3rd visit here - this shows how lovely the place is. Unspoilt natural beauty, both in the jungle and right on the lake. They have their own little deck right on the lagoon. Free kayaks to borrow or you can go on a guided tour. I recommend the jungle walk with Jacqueline - a tranquil way to start the day. The food from the restaurant was exceptional - not a huge menu which is great as everything is freshly prepared.The rooms / cabins are tastefully simple. This is my favourite place to stay in Mexico - in fact probably the whole world!!

United StatesWe had an amazing two night stay! The beach in front of the property is gorgeous. There are hammocks in the water, swings, kayaks, paddle boards, and chairs in front of the water. The rooms are amazing and so comfortable with Netflix, air con, mini fridge, shower with hot water, etc. One of the best parts is being able to use the scooters to go all over town which is included. The property is out of the town but by having the scooters, it makes it easy to go into town. The property is super clean and the workers are very nice. Breakfast is brought to your room each morning and includes a sandwich, fruit, and pastry. It's basic but good. You get one coffee pod to make in your room per day which is good. If you want you can purchase more. Each day they also restock your mini fridge with two beers, two waters and two sodas. They also clean your room daily and the property is kept very clean. This was definitely a splurge for us but if you use all of the amenities it can be worth it.

FranceThe area is really really stunning, the view from the room is amazing. The outside terrace is beautiful and at night the little lights and sunset just look amazing. I truly have nothing bad to say, the breakfast was varied and filling and I will absolutely come here again. There was kayaks free to use whenever and a jet ski for 1200 pesos per 30mins for 2 which was very fun!
I absolutely recommend, the staff are lovely and helpful. We will be back!

MexicoWe loved this place, we were flashed from the moment we walked into the room. It was spacious, very clean, really comfortable and the view was amazing. Located far from the most touristic area we found a quiet paradise here. We had the beach almost to ourselves the whole time, good places to eat nearby and the staff (specially Carolina) was more than helpful, they felt ur feel at home the whole time and made our stay in the Island unforgettable. We would comeback here anytime without hesitation. 20/10!

United KingdomBoca De Agua is one the most tranquil and relaxing hotels I have ever visited. You can spend hours wandering in the jungle between the treehouses, on the bridge above the jungle or in the restaurant and terrace, wherever you are you will be surrounded by nature, birds, butterflies, foxes and the resident family of spider monkeys (they are not spider looking for any arachnophobes).
If that nature and relaxation fix is not enough for you, walk down to the Laguna and relax next to crystal clear water, home to many small fish, turtles and more birds. The water is a beautiful 26 degrees all year round, and you can take a kayak (free of charge) up and down the Laguna to explore or put your feet up and book a sailing experience with Cesar (thank you again for taking us out on a morning sailing experience of Xul Ha Cesar!) and learn about the rare heritage of the Laguna and the unique features of the water. Once you are finished you can lounge in the shade of dock, and enjoy drinks on demand (Alcohol and soft drinks are paid for, all water is free at the hotel).
When it comes to breakfast, lunch or dinner, the team at the Michelin star restaurant will be available with a host of culinary delights, at each sitting you will be surprised with a bonus entree, guacamole on rice paper, corn taco with more guacamole, cheese, and a tomato purée to name a few. My partner has a gluten sensitivity and the team accommodated her dietary requirements at each meal, they knew in advance at each sitting, a special thanks Uziel for his hospitality and giving us the tips on the spider monkeys movements throughout the day. The menu was varied, with many vegetarian, fish and red meat options, the local fish was excellent, red snapper and giant river prawns I would order again in a heartbeat and the cocktail list had a unique local variety alongside any classic cocktail.

- From US$326.20 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.0Very good - What previous guests thought, 3,733 reviewsWe had a wonderful 1-week family stay at Emporio! I was a bit confused with opposite reviews so didn't know what to expect, however our stay in Emporio was way beyond expectations! It was definitely the best value for money resort we've ever been to. Rooms were nice, clean and spacious, we had a beachfront family room on top floor (8th), the view was just spectacular! Restaurants were great, especially a la carte ones (Bacolli and Fasano) so make sure to reserve your seat (in person). There was a plenty choice of food in buffet restaurants for breakfast and lunch as well. Hotel beach was wonderful, I would say the most maintained within 3 km we've walked around, there is a beach bar where you can get drinks as well as order some snack meals to the beach, we've really enjoyed our time! We didn't use pools at all since the Caribbean sea was just out of this world, but they look nice and well maintained too, especially adults only one with the bar! Staff is also nice, they reallly work a lot and it's so many of them so you don't have to wait long for your service. Overall, wonderful experience!Guest review byAntoniaCroatia

As a family with tweens we did not enjoy Tulum & will not be back. The kids were not allowed many places/ restaurants.

Lake is beautiful, weather is great (despite the sudden changes), and feeling closer to nature is amazing. You have good food around, but several places are prepared to have foreign visitors spend lots of money for not-local foods. Seek for smaller non-fancy places to eat in order to taste real Mexico (don't eat a steak here... this is no meat land but seafood instead!). Need a car to do everything you want and need to enjoy Bacalar (highly recommended). Place is safe to walk around 24/7. Buy some goodies and drinks in advance to getting to your hotel to have something handy when everything is closed (remember, Southern Mexico opens late, takes a mid-day nap, and closes not that late). Take a hat, confortable sandals and water-based sun protection to avoid harming the corals. And Please, don't complain about animals and bugs: that is call NATURE!!Guest review byThe Traveler PenguinMexico - 2.0
Small town with terrible infrastructure.
Small town with terrible infrastructure. It is a shame to keep it in misery conditions with the loads of money brought by tourists, mostly foreigners happily walking in mud, dirty water ponds, as they walk in the luxurious boutiques owned by other foreigners. You may find amazing nature in many other Mexican destinations in better living conditions.Guest review byalejandrortizMexico - 8.0

I have been visiting Cozumel for 15 years, for diving. While the people are friendly and the number of good restaurants has increased over that time, unfortunately the reef has been degraded effecting the diving experience. Its is my contention the powers that control Cozumel care more about making money from cruise ships than the environment, local people or infrastructure of Cozumel.Guest review byRobertaCanada - 10.0
In the 1990s, Isla was less-developed with fewer beach...
In the 1990s, Isla was less-developed with fewer beach hotels. The entire north end was one large beach with unpaved streets, rather primitive and exotic, and the experience was low cost. Over the years the beach has lost a lot of sand due to some severe hurricanes and sand-bag berms have been built out to prevent more erosion. The streets were paved with block pavers and the addition of hotels has brought more tourists. These changes are probably inevitable considering the growth direction of tourism and its economic importance, but it's been more or less as it is now for the last 20 years in which we've visited many times. Compared to Playa Del Carmen which has changed dramatically, and Tulum which now has an international airport, it's kept its essential character by being isolated from the rest of the coast, and is still a great place to unwind, snorkel, and stroll the streets, beaches and rocky north coast. There is a singular charm about the island and it's residents and labor force that ferry over from Cancun, that keeps us coming back and I hope that never changes. The restaurants, to their credit, have improved over the years and that is a pleasant advancement.Guest review byGaryUnited States - 10.0

My FAVORITE cenotes were at Sac Actun and Ecopark Kantun Chi...
My FAVORITE cenotes were at Sac Actun and Ecopark Kantun Chi. Sac Actun requires a guide, but it's not as expensive as some of the other places. The cenote is beautiful and they provide you with wetsuits (which helps a LOT with the cold) and goggles. It was a very cool experience. Ecopark Kantun Chi has 5 cenotes but we bought the entrance that allows you to go 4 of them without a guide. For us, this was perfect because we could spend as much time as we wanted at each spot and they were all so different and beautiful. I loved #3, which was an open sky cenote with a waterfall and #4, which was a really cool cave with spots where the sunlight streamed in from above. We got to see some lobsters there too. Also a very cool feature is that there are kayaks in several of the cenotes so you get to explore them that way as well. Another cool spot was Languna Yal Ku where we got to snorkel in calm water and see so many different types of fish. I highly recommend wearing clothing that covers your arms and legs since sunscreen isn't permitted and you are directly exposed to the sun the whole time. For meals, we enjoyed traveling to both Akumal Pueblo (for some simple and cheaper meals) and Akumal Playa on the other side of the road for some more variety.Guest review byNatasha
