The place has changed greatly over the years, better installations and facilities but I don't thinks its a reserve anymore. Not all of it its family friendly. It's been privatized, the entrance its regulated, your can't bring any food or drinks but its all SOLD inside at their restaurant and cafeteria. The grounds are clean and vast, many swings and hammocks around. There are 2 main attractions: the really deep one where you can jump if you are over 10-11 years old and over 100 pounds for security reasons. You can be in the lagoon but with a life vest all the time. The other one its a cave-cenote, smaller, there is little cliff you can jump from, about one story high, there is a life saver surrounding the cenote but really what impressed me was the LOUD music and the amount of alcohol drinking. Many glass bottles from beer all around, plastic chairs and tables. SO for a RESERVE I don't know?! I don't think any of the living species there appreciate having a LOUD bachata from 9am -6 pm. Also I don't think that if someone is drawing the lifesaver would be able to spot that person or child since it's so crowded on weekends and loud. The restaurant is an open space terrace, not ceiling fans, which makes it very hot. The food took about 1 hour and 15 minutes to arrive for a party of 10, 5 children and 5 adults, there is a cafeteria next to the cenote where drinks and chips are sold. There is another lagoon that you can only watch the fishes, turtles and feed them, which they sell the fish food too. I don't know if that something that a RESERVE would allowed due to the possible overfeeding and impact of the artificial food on the species and the lagoon. If you can take the LOUD music and the overcrowded public it would be a really enjoyable adventure. Also the food from the restaurant was average price but terrible taste. Fried chicken was over seasoned and the fried fish bland and oily. I would recommend going in really early and eat out at other restaurant outside the installations, so you can have choices. There is parking, no security but open space with enough for buses and close to...
Read moreWe went on a Thursday afternoon. The park was not crowded. Perhaps 50 people were there.
There were two lagoons. The first one was a large one with a small swimming area as the other half of the lagoon was designated the zipline jumping area. You could go off of two zip lines for one American dollar per ride. The zip line was approximately 40 ft over the water.
The other swimming area was a lot smaller. Even with a few number of people are there it seemed very crowded. The water is very pretty and cool. It is crystal clear.
There's a large open Green Space which all of the kids playing around in. If you do picnic out there be careful there are a lot of ants.
There is a restaurant here and I saw other people eating in the food looked rather nice. The restaurant was not busy and I ordered a chicken Caesar salad. After 30 minutes I still have not received my salad and inquired how much longer. The lady said one minute. After 10 more minutes of waiting I was no longer hungry and left the restaurant. I never received the salad.
Overall this place is okay. I would recommend visiting at least once to experience the park. I'd also recommend not going on days where it will be...

The water is incredibly clear, with a beautiful , turquoise blue. you're in a tropical paradise. The natural setting is what really sets this place apart. Surrounded by lush a humid forest, the lagoon feels completely untouched and pristine. The temperatureis under 17 degrees or more, refreshing, cool water is perfect for a swim, and the rocks adds to the natural feel. It's a great spot for a quiet swim, a family picnic, a photoshoot. It does get busy, it's easy to find a quiet corner to relax and soak up the peaceful atmosphere. Just be sure to wear comfortable shoes for the short walk down to the lagoon. This place is a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle and offers a truly unforgettable experience....
