Wonderful lagoon to visit in Tulum, for 300 pesos per person. Only accepts cash!! You cannot take food with you, nor sun cream, only bottled water. Any extra like drones is more 250 pesos. It’s better if you go yearly (opens at 9 a.m ). After 12pm gets crowded (at least at Sunday). All the area is very clean.

You pay an extra 300 if you like a kayak/ SUP, you pay extra when you like to drink something, you pay extra when you li...

We brought our snorkels but the water was too cloudy to really see much. A nice overlook area, they have hammocks you can sit in in the water and you can actually go inside the heart and pose for photos...

The Laguna is only a few minutes of walking away from the parking lot. There is a nice observation tower to look at the shift between shallow and deep water. Regular swimmers are limited to the shallow area on the outskirts of the Laguna (which is very exp...

Absolutely stunning spot! Definitely a must-visit and I’d go back in a heartbeat. Best on a sunny day for the full colors, and weekdays are less crowded. Plenty of space and great photo ops. The bar by the deck serves drinks, cocktails, fruit, and more — the cold coconut was super refreshing. Easy access from the main road and clean restrooms.
