What makes it 45% Baby-Friendly: Babies are allowed and lawns offer shade, but no infant life jackets, steep stairs hinder strollers, cold water and slippery entries make swimming risky, so most parents only picnic briefly.
Note: Gran Cenote is 45% Baby-Friendly. You may want to consider other Baby-Friendly Things to Do in Tulum for a more suitable experience.
Why 1-2 hours visit duration is ideal for with baby: A 1-2 hour visit lets you rest in the shade, use baby facilities, and spot wildlife without wearing out your little one.
Relax in shaded lawn area:
Rest with your baby on grass under trees.
Tip: Bring a stroller or baby carrier, hat, and a portable mat.
Watch turtles and iguanas:
Observe wildlife from the boardwalk edges.
Tip: Bring binoculars or a camera to capture close-up views.
Use baby-friendly facilities:
Change diapers and rinse off at on-site rooms and showers.
Tip: Carry a portable changing pad and nursing cover.

Beautiful, small cenote with lots of turtles and fish. There are lockers you can rent to keep your belongings safe and the goggles come with the entrance fee. There’s also a big open garden that is perfect for sun bathing and lounging on the hammocks. Very family-friendly. Also easy parking and access to bathrooms.

500$mx per person and only accept cash. Not really worth it, that's a lot of money to swim in a pool. Not very well maintained considering how much you pay to get in. Stairs are slippery and the exits are poor.

500MXN entry - quite expensive. If you’re not visiting too many cenotes then this is ok but if you are visiting a lot, the cost might add up. Get to swim with turtles and in a bat cave. Area to swim is quite big and there’s a relaxation area with hammock before you head down to the cenote as well which was nice. Staff was not helpful as we had no cell reception when we left to call a taxi but othe...

Beautiful, clear water. I was the first to arrive on a Monday and had the cenote to myself. Cost is $500 pesos ($25ish US). I bore easily and I spent a couple of hours swimming and relaxing in the comfy hammocks.

Very nice, well maintained and tranquil place. Pure and crystal water, turtles, swimmig masks, hammocks, and relatively small amount of visitors are definitely pros. However probably one of the most expensive cenote in Yucatan: 500 pesos. Still i recommend it.
Arrive early (8-10 AM) in the dry season (Nov-Apr) for cooler temps and fewer crowds. In rainy season (Jun-Sep), pack a rain cover for your stroller and waterproof your gear.
