Snorkeling, bikes, zipline and many other great activities. Beautiful scenery. We loved how easy it was to pick up snorkel gear, life vests, bikes, etc. Great customer service all around!

Lubica_G, Feb 2024
To go under water and play with the rays was an excellent experience- for this activity you have to pay extra charge. But it was worth it. Otherwise quite expensive entrance fee but in a beautiful park. I liked very much how they treat the environment. E.g. they will collect your sunscreen at the entrance (you can pick it up when leaving the park) and provide you with environmentally friendly one. We paid another expensive fee of 69USD for photos package, but it did not work e.g. at the zip lines… Probably would need more time to enjoy it thoroughly… The time ran very quickly… But in overall nice day for much money.
Xel-ha is worth the trip!!
Loretta_W, Jan 2024
We were looking for a relaxing day so dod the lazy river experience a couple times. The weather was beautiful the day we went. The grounds are kept beautiful and staff was very professional and accommodating. All in all, a super day and our tour guide snd transportation was very good
Solid day out, some activities cost extra
Jamie_A, Jan 2024
A very enjoyable day. As always with these trips from Cancun, the journey isn't brilliant. Takes about 2 hours but the bus was comfortable and pleasant enough. Received our entry tickets on the journey, so avoided any queues. Once you're in, you are left to your own devices -- meeting around 5.45pm for the trip home. The breakfast selection is good, and alcoholic drinks are served from 10.30am onwards. The lazy river is nice with the option of tubes or floating down with a snorkel. Can jump off the edge at a few designated points along the way. Other activities like swimming with dolphins or underwater Snuba cost between 60-100US extra each. Lunch is served from 12-5ish, good selection in the buffet. Don't lose the key to your locker, costs 20US to replace it. Also make sure to give your snorkel back and scan your wristband when you do, otherwise you might be charged.

We were waiting at the meeting point, and the guide came but never called our names and left without us. they ruined a whole day of our vacation. when we called customer service, they kept saying we were not there and refused to give any compensation for ruining our day.
Nice guides, less than expected enjoyment.
Kristina_A, Dec 2023
The tour company did an excellent job, the ride came right to our door and we road comfortably in a large coach instead of squished in a little shuttle, the whole process was very smooth. The park itself was nice, however I was heartbroken to see the dolphins in little enclosures and one was so depressed he spent the whole time with his nose pressed to the dock just sitting there 😢 the snorkeling would have been excellent except that the gear isn't well cared for so be picky when you grab a mask and make sure it has all the little plastic valves. I think I was lovely experience but I don't know I'd pay the price for what it is...
If you're not made of money, skip it
Laura_B, Oct 2023
It was fun but all of the extra fun activities they showed on the video cost a minimum of $75 extra per person. The Buffett and drink was all included so that was good. Didn’t realize that over half the activities were gonna cost us extra.
Fun
Leaettea_G, Aug 2023
Pool food iguanas service friendliness superb rooms just nice. Staff grt. Scenery beautiful . Relaxing relaxing
Totally amazing!
Fiona_M, Aug 2023
Absolutely amazing. Would highly recommend. Couldn’t fault this trip. Such a different experience and felt like we really experienced nature at its best. All staff were helpful and accommodating when we needed to change one of the additional activities. The only downside is for several of the activities there is an additional cost but for once in a lifetime opportunities, it’s totally worth it and no pressure to buy. Can’t wait to return.
Ok
TERESA_B, Jul 2023
Park had lots to offer but all at an additional price so disappointed. Thought ex caret was better value
Beautiful Xel Ha
Quyen_Q, Jul 2023
My daughter and I enjoyed Xel-Ha, it's a beautiful place ; however, I recommend that you being your own snorkel. The supplied "snorkel mask" just looks easier to use. In reality, they frustratingly leak and I wish I hadn't wasted anytime trying to make it work. I also enjoyed the Snuba experience very much.
Extreme Water Park Fun!
Shenequa_W, Jun 2023
We were picked up timely by friendly staff. The water park was well maintained, there is so much to do. The food was delicious and the drinks were tasty. I would definitely suggest this excursion to my friends and family.
Xel-Ha is the best!!
Erik_F, Jun 2023
The float on the river in the mangrove trees was amazing. We had fun jumping off the cliffs. We also thought the water slide and beaches were awesome. You have to do the dolphin experience. It was worth the time and money.
Beautiful
Kelly_B, Jun 2023
There is so much to do! Will definitely come back. Our bus was timely, the tour guide was very friendly and helpful.
Great time
Reid_M, May 2023
We had such a great time. Great transportation, great place, well organized, clean! Food was fantastic, highly recommend Mexican restaurant for lunch and dinner.
Once in a lifetime experience
Sara_S, May 2023
Such an amazing experience! They have cameras all around the park so you can take picture by just scanning your bracelet. So taking your phone with you isn't a big deal. I wish the driver would have given us a little bit more info on how departure was going to work. The departure driver was a saint! I got really car sick and he was very empathetic.
Amazing
Brittany_D, May 2023
We absolutely loved this park! The price was a good one, it came with all inclusive eating and drinking and the park was beautiful and breathtaking! There are extra things you can add and pay for but you don’t have to to enjoy the park!!
Awesome!!
COTYANN_C, Apr 2023
Beautiful place! Clear waters with lots of fish. Fun activities and many locker locations to store your stuff. Life jackets comfortable and in good shape. Great buffets/restaurants and many areas to get drinks/cocktails! We did the Seatrek and Dolphin encounters (for extra $), both were great experiences. Transportation bus was also nice. I wish we had 2 full days there instead of 1 as we did not have time to see or do everything. We would definitely go again!
Horrible experience
Rosa_L, Apr 2023
I spoke with the lady to wait 2 minutes while my son and grandma were crossing the street and she said no only if you go to the next stop !!!! Which I did I paid 350 pesos for a cab driver to catch up !!!!! And she still left us !!!! On my sons birthday !!!! Horrible truly was very disappointed with how the last was with us looked straight at me and left and the cab driver was honking and they both looked at us and drove off. The cab driver was in disbelief. Mindful my sons birthday first time in Cancun with asthma and great grandma walking across the street then spent more money to follow what she said and she lied to me and it was humiliating. :(. I did go the following day but my sons birthday was ruined he cried !
Good system
Gahee_P, Apr 2023
Good pick up and drop off service. Xelha's main theme is snorkeling. Other fun activities have to pay extra but was fun for snorkeling.
