★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very neat ruins with unique features we saw no where else. Close to many hotels. Entire family got in for 130 pesos which includes swimming, although not a good swimming cenote for small children. Prepare for mosquitos and watch for spiders in the ruins.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We were the only ones at the ruins for the most part of a Thursday afternoon. The ruins hold amazing history and are a wonder to see in person. The cenote next to the ruins is tranquil and beautiful. The small birds that feed here are fun to watch. The site is full of wildlife in including many, many iguanas.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We visited this site during high season and were the only people at the site it was an amazing experience being able to take your time to view the ruins without being surrounded by other tourists. Not only is this site peaceful but you have the ability to view paintings up close and personal unlike other sites. The Cenote is clear and beautiful and you can sit on the ledge and enjoy the natural beauty. I would suggest bringing bug spray as there were some mosquitoes.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Fantastic place to see archeological site without crowds.
We were the only visitors that day and could enjoy the ruins without any bothersome souvenir sellers.
Because there were no other visitors, the mosquitoes were especially hungry, so a repellent is a must.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Located very close to most hotels this place is a cool historical site. You will likely have it to yourself. There are ruins and a cenote for swimming

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Want to see Mayan ruins but dismayed by the crowds at Tulum? Try Xel-ha. The INAH owned and managed portion of the archaeological site is across the road from the resort complex of the same name. Great ruins for photography at Xel-ha with shaded trails for walking access. A building in the Lothrop Group near the highway has intact stucco murals. The cenote is worth seeing too. There is a nice level walk to the oval-shaped cenote. There is a small temple and shrine complex at the cenote's west end. There is an impressive Mayan raised road (sacbe) extending in a straight line from this complex to the palace ruins. Remember when at the entrance to photograph the site map so you can refer to it while walking the trails.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Breathtaking experience, unfortunately not too many people know about this hidden treasures because there's an aquatic park with the same name just a few miles away.
With that said, we did have a fantastic experience as we were the only ones there and have all the time to enjoy the park at our own pace.
There are iguanas all over the place.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ In terms of ruins is maybe not the most spectacular, but what was really impressive is the hidden cenote at the end of the trail through the forest. We were the only two people there throughout the entire visit. It felt great! (We didn't swim, the cenote is surrounded by rocks).
