★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great sights and great tour guides. If you are not a fan of big crowds, avoid going on days that cruise ships are in port. It can get extremely busy if there are two or more ships offering tours simultaneously.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ What a surprise. 3 actual temple structures plus a large court surrounded by home ruins. Very interesting, half way close to the Costa Maya cruise Port, an hour drive. Tour bus recommended, a whole new fleet available. Take your camera.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We really enjoyed our visit. We did it as part of a cruise ship excursion. The ruins were really interesting and the tour guide brought a lot of context and life to the location. I’m glad that we went.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Incredible ancient Mayan ruins with fantastic pyramids. Our tour guides were excellent. If you like archaeological sites do not miss this. Plan your tour well in advance. Skip the Costa Maya tourist stuff and take the hour drive to this special location. There were spider monkeys in the trees and beautiful jungles. Beautiful flora and butterflies.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Visited as part of an cruise excursion. It was about a one hour bus ride from the cruise port. Our guide was very knowledgeable. We were able to see several different ruins. While you can not climb all the way to the top, they do let you climb up part way on a few of them. There is a gift shop and small snack area along with restroom where you start and end the tours.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We went via taxi from Costa Maya (Carnival Cruise), only $35/person instead of over $100 per for the excursion. Taxi ride and tour was FANTASTIC!!! The ruins are very impressive. The locals were very nice and easy to communicate with. The monkeys in the trees was a really cool bonus. Even though it was extremely hot, would highly recommend this!!!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Probably the most up-close ruins experience on the planet. There is no hands off rule. We had an excellent guide, Carlos, from Toucan tours. Book online and save 50%, over ship sponsored excursions. Plus the gift shop was extensive without the pressure.
Carlos asked us if we wanted to try some street tacos on the way back to port and everyone was in. Great, but simple food, at a fantastic price. My Bride and I each had a beer and 3 tacos for $5!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great place to visit! There are not many tourists so it is a really great experience to visit the ruins and have them basically for yourself. Temples are really impressive so it is definitely worth visiting.
We even saw some spider monkeys there so it was a very good experience for us.
