The Explorean Kohunlich - 77981 Chetumal

One of the best (if not THE best) vacations ever! Welcoming resort in a secluded jungle setting. Manuel the chef and his attentive staff prepare delicious gourmet meals. Open self-serve bar with top-shelf liquor. Bar staff is also available to make you whatever you want. Daniel and the activities team took us on amazingly unique daily activities (lake kayaking, visiting Mayan ruins, even night kayaking)! We felt like we were living the lifestyle of the rich and famous! ALL of the staff were so attentive and accommodating! We are already planning our return visit. It definitely isn't "swanky", but more rustic. But what do you expect in the middle of the jungle? Lots of exotic birds and other fauna just outside your private deck with sofa and hammock.

Incredible experience. Terrific facilities and experiences despite being in the jungle. The food was fantastic. We ate the specials for every meal and loved everything. The adventures were fascinating and fun. Nothing to extremely physical, but some of the climbs up the Mayan ruins are challenging. Beds are wonderful. The bugs are the only drawback, but it is a jungle environment. Be prepared. We came prepared and they did not detract from the enjoyment.

Couldn’t recommend more. My wife and I thought everything was impeccable - from the daily activities to the meals offered to the surroundings and lodging. Every member of staff was welcoming. We genuinely loved every minute. Highly recommend.

First we decided that hotel was overpriced but then we realized that there were 3 excursions included (we stayed there for 3 nights). And those excursions were awesome, especially the night kayaking. You can make great pictures in the swimming pool if you come there when it is empty (before 9AM) Now some tiny downsides: The walking paths could be a bit cleaner (a lot fallen leaves and fruits on them). The same goes to the water in the swimming pool and jacuzzi (could be a bit cleaner). Also, we didn’t have a WiFi in the room. People say the food here was great but in my opinion it was average. P.S. make sure that hotel knows your email so that they could send a timetable with excursions in advance. In our case they didn’t send it because they didn’t know our email. We were disappointed because we booked via booking.com and they could contact us if they wanted. As a result we were late for the first excursion simply because we didn’t know about it.

Awesome hotel and sorroundings, perfect to relax. If you are looking for a vacation to disconnect and be in contact with nature, this is an excellent option.

This is the second visit. Our first visit was 5 days, this one is 11 days which should tell you a lot about what we think of this place. Last visit we had a dedicated English speaking guide which we prefer. It's not fair to the Spanish speaking guests to have to wait while everything is said twice.

Wonderful all inclusive in the jungle near Kohunlich ruins. Beautiful bungalows, wonderful food, inviting pool and commons areas. Treat yourself to a massage while there. Very friendly spa.

I love this place. It is not for everyone. You need to understand what it offers before going there. Limited wi-fi takes getting used too. Excursion guides make it worth going. You have to be open minded and flexible to have the most fun. If you want total pampering this is not the place for you...
