ATIK Tulum Park surprised me a lot, much better place then I thought it would be.
While getting there, be careful with the signs. Look out for the wooden signs that say “ATIK” in white paint. The road to the park, is all stone and gravel so be careful when driving down there. The car park isn’t the biggest in the world however theirs more spaces around the side of the park. Parking the car was completely free and didn’t get charged for it.
The park fee cost me 400 Mxn Pesos (£20 GBP) it seems like they didn’t have a card machine. So make sure you take cash with you.
Now, of course this park is famous due to social media. With its unique art, every bit of art is a photo opportunity within the park. It has all the famous Instagram photo spots. So if you want to keep your partner happy, then there’s plenty of photo opportunities.
The Cenote itself I would say is not natural at all. Having been to plenty of cenotes across the Yucatan peninsula. However it is a beautiful Cenote to swim in, with the mini waterfall at the back.
I went on a Sunday afternoon roughly about 14:00. The park was very quiet, hardly no people in the park. It felt like I had the park to myself. The park has toilets and showers facilities. However if you’re planning on staying for the whole day. Then I suggest that you bring your own food and drinks. As the park shop has very limited resources of food and drinks.
Overall, definitely worth visiting while you’re in the Tulum area. It’s about a 25min drive from the...
Read moreReview for ATIK TULUM – ⚠️ Security Warning I had an extremely disappointing and upsetting experience at ATIK TULUM. My friend and I paid for the full tour and entered the cenote like all the other guests. Everyone left their belongings in the designated area near the water, assuming it was safe since it’s private property.
When we came out of the water, our two bags were gone. Inside were our passports and travel documents (needed to fly home), a phone, a camera, and other valuable items.
We immediately reported it to the staff, and they said only the owner has access to the security cameras. When contacted, the owner refused to cooperate, claiming the cameras didn’t show anything and denied our request to review or share the footage.
We even involved the local police, who came to the scene but even then, the owner refused to provide or show any camera footage. Despite the theft happening on their private property, there was zero effort from management to help or take responsibility.
This was not just disappointing it was deeply irresponsible. I strongly warn others: do not leave any belongings unattended, and do not expect support from the management if something goes wrong.
What should have been a beautiful experience turned into a nightmare because of negligence and...
Read moreThis place is for you if you want to take pictures for your Instagram profile. There are some lovely little corners filled with plants and a few artistic pieces that are perfect for striking a pose in front of.
However, if you’re looking for a charming, natural cenote, this is not the place for you. The cenote looks quite artificial, with two water pumps inside and rocks painted white. We were also very disappointed with the service, especially considering the high price we paid.
First, they don’t have a life jacket for babies, and the only entrance gate is too narrow for a stroller. The man at the entrance told us this was the only way in, so I imagine that if you use a wheelchair, you wouldn’t be able to enter either.
We visited during the low season, and the parking lot was dirty, with trash around. Some of the pools were empty, and one that was full had unfiltered water, which didn’t look clean at all.
The changing room also lacks basic amenities — there’s nowhere to put your clothes while changing, and you have to do so right next to everyone else, as there are no individual stalls.
We have visited other cenotes for less money that were...
