The dinner in the cenote was magical. Understanding Mexican (and Mayan) traditions really enhanced our stay in Mexico.

Overall, the evening was very good. The staff are very informative and the shows were fantastic. Dinner was delicious unfortunately they had problems with the electricity so we dined in the dark. This just added to the experience. Would highly recommend.

Melissa was amazing! Provided a great experience, so knowledgable and had great humor with all the people involved. The fire show was AMAZING. And the cenote was even more beautiful than u can imagine, with a fully guided experience by Melissa. The meal Is a viewpoint in the cenote that is even more than described to you before you go, sitting above the water and photo opportunities from beautiful view points. A trip I would 100% recommend in a heart beat!!!

Melissa the host was fabulous. The tour itself was great but the food not so much, the entertainment, was OK but the mosquitoes were horrendous. Got eaten alive. Tui rep should have explained this more. I didn't know it was as bad as it was. The swim in cave was amazing.

De tour is leuk de gids was top! Alleen had iemand het licht in de cenotte uitgedaan en zat de hele groep vast in t donker. De gids is na geruime tijd alleen in t donker terug gezwommen “met alle gevolgen van dien” om hulp te halen… verder was er ook heel weinig verlichting op de looppaden en wandelde er op een haar na een tarantula op iemands rug … al met al is t best een spannende ervaring geweest waarbij ik in de cenotte toch lichtelijk in paniek was… het is dankzij de kundige gids goed afgel

Very expensive trip The day of the dead experience was rubbish like a poor winter wonderland for the money not worth going just explained about day of the dead and showed a few memorials Positives - feels like you are really in the jungle, nice swim in an underground cenote and best bit of the trip was meal after in a underground cenote with bats flying about and excellent waiting staff

Ziemlich teuer aber schön. Ein Pluspunkt war für uns, dass auch vegetarisches Essen ohne Probleme angeboten wird. Das vegetarische Essen ist dann auch ein eigenständiges Essen und nicht einfach nur das Standard-Essen ohne Fleisch. Das Schwimmen in der Cenote war sehr schön, weil wir dort fast alleine waren. Die Erläuterungen zum Day of the Dead waren sehr anschaulich.

The whole experience was magical. Our guide was enthusiastic and knowledgeable bringing it all to life. Love visiting the shame, the fire show was outstanding. Of course the highlight was the swim in the Cenote and the setting in another for dinner. Don't change the number of guests. The only down side for us was the food. Guac was good but to male dry not many ate them at our table and the bbq pork was too sweet but just my preference.

Melissa, the guide was knowledgeable and friendly, she made it seem as though nothing was too much trouble. The drive to the event was VERY bumpy but the driver navigated it well. The event itself was absolutely sublime and so much more than was expected. Dinner in the cenote was brilliant and the fire show was fabulous. We went as a family of 7 and all were blown away by the absolute brilliance of the whole experience.

I would like to provide a special mention to Alex, our tour guide for the Day of the Dead excursion. From the minute we were collected from the hotel, Alex was extremely attentive, knowledgeable and utterly charming with all guests. He and the staff at the cenote gave first class service. The decorations, the features, the music, the atmosphere, the meal in the cenote, everything was breath taking. This trip is reason enough alone to go to Mexico. Alex clearly has a passion for what he does.

Old minibus....no one at the back could hear anything, so c 1 hour of information shared by guide wasted. (did try and speak up, but no better). Very rickety and very uncomfortable for the long journey. "Cemetery " very gimmicky, only 4/5 "coffins". Highlights: The fire show was good, as was the meal in the underground cenote. However at £125 pp, very overpriced and not authentic in any way. Very disappointed ??

Our guide Melissa was fantastic as was the experience. The fire dances were amazing and it was the best Cenote to date. The water was crystal clear and it felt magical having dinner in the cenote. All four of us loved it and would highly recommend. It was worth the bumpy ride through the jungle to the cenote. The history is so interesting. Thank you. ??

Het was niet helemaal wat ik verwachte .De prijs is aan de hoge kant . De plaats is oké. De gids vond ik persoonlijk minder . We hebben een hele tijd op een bankje zitten wachten op de vuur show . Die zeker oké was . Het eten was betoverend op zo een plek kunnen eten is een unieke belevenis . De uitleg mag nog wat uitgebreider worden . Met wat kleine aanpassingen is het zeker oké. Ik zal het zeker aanbevelen alleen al voor de unieke eetgelegenheid. En het lekkere eten

Nearly two hours of pick ups and travel even though told only 40 minutes, poorly maintained vehicle broke down on way back home. Actual time on experience was very good even though should of been offered water on arrival, experience centred around cenote and more day of the dead experiences would of been better as with all Tui experiences slightly overpriced but have a captive audience ??

The experience was enjoyable apart from the meal which wasn't to my taste. At over $350US it was very expensive for a small walk through a woods with a few set up shrines and a fake grave yard. The swim was really enjoyable due to the water being very cool the fire show was excellent and very enjoyable. The meal was not very enjoyable and to only have a small glass of blue coloured wine a bottle of water and few glasses of Habiscus water I felt this was very over priced

It was very overpriced for the actual experience . Food was awful. I enjoyed the fireworks and caves but for over 200 pounds it was not worth the money. 90 minutes there and 60 back. So the actual experience was very short.

Needed more options on arrival like merchandise to buy and maybe a welcome drink as there was a lot of waiting about at the start. The staff were great in all areas with fire show excellent. Needs some subtle ambient music during the meal as it was very quiet and lacked atmosphere. Also very humid and should have had the fan on during dinner. Very dark leaving for the bus s as nd an old couple got lost. Good trip requiring some finessing.

Very little to do with day of the dead sadly. Briefly talked about and shown mock up shrines. Shaman blessing was good. Our guide was very informative and helpful. My vegetarian wife was given meat when host clearly told vegetarian and acknowledged. Very drunk couple spoiled setting, they were not challenged and given more alcohol when they asked for it, throwing their dessert into cenote to feed fish. Cenote eating area was beautiful. Basically a swim and dinner in cenote.

Lewis, our tour guide was amazing. He was very friendly and knowledgable, and nothing was too much trouble, even when the mosquito’s were biting. There venue was amazing with the highlight being the meal in the cave and the fire show. The downside - there was no running water in the toilets and no lights (thankfully we all had touches on our phones). There could have been hand sanitizer in various areas. We all got bites but we were told to expect that. Overall a memory to last a lifetime

It was not what I expected. I thought there would be a show with dancers playing Mexican music the fire show was very good but it only lasted about 12 minutes. The setting for the meal was first class but my granddaughter only ate part of the first meal and for £139 I honestly don’t think it was worth that perhaps £60 would be nearer the mark

First part felt a bit ‘theme park/touristy’ but cenotes was good and great location for the meal. Was expecting a show (more than the fire show which we had seen for ‘free’ at the hotel anyway). Guide Lewis was excellent. Had we known exactly what it entailed beforehand we would have probably done something different
