Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Christian S17 contributionsParking was difficult. It's in the middle of a town. The (free) lot only holds like a dozen cars, then there is street parking around the cenote, but it's being used by people in the town, not just people going to the cenote.
It was only $4USD to get in, which was by far the least expensive cenote we visited. They had bathrooms for like 30 cents.
Life jackets are optional, but I would suggest taking one down. It's a big cenote, so swimming the whole time would be tiring.
This cenote is pretty, but the main enjoyable feature for us was cliff jumping. You can jump from five feet right from the area that most people enter. You may be able to jump from about ten feet at the top of the stair area, but nobody jumped from there, so I'm not sure. What we enjoyed the most was jumping from the platform that is probably thirty feet high. No other cenote we visited had anything close to that high. I tried to jump from a place where there was a break in the wall that was probably thirty five feet, but the lifeguard blew a whistle at me to not do it.
There is supposedly a man-made waterfall that they only turn on Saturdays and Sundays, but we weren't there for that. It looks like it would be pretty.Written 1 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Philip van der MeulenThe Hague, The Netherlands6 contributionsGreat knowledgeable guide and awesome local initiative to help the bees. Products made from honey were also really good, in short a good experience to learn and taste great products!Written 28 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ruben N1 contributionWe booked the Romantic Dinner Dzul. While usually the tour is done in a small group, we were lucky enough to have the cenote all to ourselves. The cavern walls are steeped in a mystical atmosphere, enhanced by a Mayan ritual before entering the cenote and the stories shared with us by our guide Edna. We felt part of an ancient timeline. To take a swim in such incredible surroundings is nothing short of amazing and the food was great. A memory to cherish!Written 31 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Mehdi45 contributionsIt's quite picturesque and we arrived early enough, at 0930, that we avoided the crowds. Some memorable pictures to make in the more famous of the two cenotes -- though not as impressive as some underground places on the coast. The second one is not so special but worth checking out too since included in the price anyway. We didnt try the food.Written 18 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Gerald MQuintana Roo, Mexico26 contributionsCenote Xkeken is breathtaking! The water is so clear and cool. Surrounded by trees and open sky, it's a peaceful place for a swim.Written 18 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- SiberianEmoOmsk, Russia596 contributionsValladolid nestled in between Tulum and Merida and (at least in my prior perception) is somewhat overlooked town in the Yucatan Peninsula. ( Its Spanish counterpart does seem to take more spotlight). I only chose to stay here to use it as a base point to travel to Chichen Itza and Ek Balam. Was I wrong. Valladolid is magical place; quaint place, yet place simultaneously bustling with excitement.
Roughly a 1.5 km from its Central Plaza lies Covent de San Bernardino de Siena. The convent was constructed in the 16th century. It features the church, the convent museum, and outside area containing a cenote used by monks as a water source. While the museum is interesting, the most impressive part was a night-time lightshow projecting on the convent.
The light show starts at 9 pm for a Spanish version and 9.25/9.30 for an English version. (To my understanding, there is no showing on Monday nights). While at times it is hard to keep up, the show itself is an amazing experience that immerses you into the culture of this town.
Convent is situated at the end of the Calle de Los Frailes, which is bustling with shops and cafes. Plaza around convent provides opportunity for photos and relaxation.Written 18 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It was an incredible and magical experience. We used the rope swing multiple times to jump in and had a truly excellent tour guide who captured great photos and videos for us. The water is crystal clear and loads of fish, iguana and birds to observe. Life jackets are mandatory and you can see why, it’s very deep! A great cenote with good facilities on site e.g toilets, showers and a pool and food service should you wish to access this. The hacienda is picturesque also. Don’t believe what people say on here that is negative, if you want to have a more intimate experience and avoid the big tourist buses I suggest booking a private tour as this isn’t a reflection on the cenote or staff at Oxman it’s your own choice to go in a big group which will always be more limiting that a private tour.Written 18 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Karla MStuttgart, Germany62 contributionsThis place was AWESOME. Beautiful and not super expensive. They had rappelling and stuff but I’m scared of heights so I didn’t do that. I did get food with them and it was SO good. The people were nice and one of the guys spoke perfect English. It is in the middle of nowhere so that was kind of scary, but it was worth it.Written 26 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- payparEast Meadow, NY71 contributionsit's a little intimidating to see the steps basically going underground at palomitas, but once you get over that you are rewarded by an absolutely stunning sight. Absolutely gorgeous.Written 8 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- ojerioLos Angeles, CA487 contributionsWe visited Cenotes Dzitnup, actually two Cenotes. You pay slightly more to visit both, they each have a different feel. It is a good plan to arrive early, there were very few tourists when we were there. First you have to run the gauntlet of tour guide wanna bees, although the young man who wanted to help us was very informative. But you don’t need a guide There are also gauntlets of vendors and the grounds of the two Cenotes are somewhat in need of care. There are a number of abandoned structures, perhaps once cabins - it looks like the heyday was some time ago. A bit of a ghost town feel.
Cenote Xkeken is a quiet cave, tranquil and clear. Interesting formations on the ceilings, like eggs. Some idiot had been smoking (who smokes in a cave?) which was unfortunate but not fatal.
Cenote Samula is on the other side of the site, it has a jumping platform and is therefore a less tranquil spot. Also very clean and clear, uncrowded.Written 26 January 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
