- AndyKingston upon Thames, United Kingdom8 contributionsBeautiful community-run cenoteReally fabulous and beautiful cenote which has been painstakingly restored by the local community back to its former natural glory, and with steps down to the cenote, showers, changing rooms, bathrooms, and a small restaurant/bar. The place is run by 16 people from the local community and proceeds are split between them and other community projects in the village. I suspect we got there at peak time with a slow but steady trickle of visitors from nearby Chichen Itza but we initially had the place to ourselves (around noon) and it certainly didn’t become crowded as I’ve heard other cenotes can be. The panuchos at the restaurant were excellent! My only slight gripe is the mandatory use of life jackets which seems a little over-cautious , but I understand that is due to the liability of the owners if anything were to go wrong.Visited October 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 20 October 2023

- Matthew JBuena Park, California549 contributionslarge and beautifulI visited this cenote as part of an Intrepid tour. It costs 150 Pesos per person and has a changing room, restaurant, and toilet. It is mandatory to shower before entering the cenote to keep it pristine. I swam and floated and bird watched. It was peaceful and beautiful. Previous reviewers mentioned zipline and rappel, but those activties were not visible/available during my visit.Visited July 2024Travelled with familyWritten 22 July 2024

We wanted a quiet cenote but with facilities, life jackets and a life guard. There were max 10 people in the water and at times we were the only ones. Really magical.
Unlike Ik Kil, there is little sign of human alteration to the cenote once you are inside - the steep staircase is carved straight out of the rock and the stalactites are still intact.
There's a great little restaurant doing authentic Yacatan food - the panuchos were particularly good.
All of the staff (cenote and restaurant) were super friendly.

Brilliant example of a stunning cenote.
Not only a wow place, but it seems to be well run, well maintained with decent facilities. Only $M150 each (I think !)
Easy to find right in the middle of the village, just off the main road and a free car park.
Changing rooms, well maintained walkways and a small restaurant. Plus a 'lifeguard' there too.
There's quite a lot of steps down but once you get down the cenote itself is just stunning! A wide open (not cave) cenote surrounded by stunning rock formations and hanging vines.
Such a picturesque scene.
When we arrived there were about a dozen people there. Within 15 minutes we had the whole place to ourselves. Simply magical !!!
Definately one worth visiting !

This place was a real oasis! The cenotes was beautiful with lots of fish and the surroundings were heavenly. The lunch place served the most amazing guacamole I've ever had and just outside of the entrance you could buy essential oils and get Mayan massage – definitely recommend!

An enchanted cenote, the water level of which is about 15-20 m lower and which is about 65 m deep. Crystal clear water with a pleasant temperature. There is also a small Mayan restaurant with underground toilets but super delicious food. You can also float over the cenote at a dizzying height on a zipline.

It was first time to visit a cenote and it could not have been better. Rent a car and drove the one and a half with no issues. Parking is very limited but got lucky. Worth the trip and $300 pesos for two.

This Cenote is a nugget! There was nobody there. We were alone in the world. It is located in the middle of a lost road with parking in front.
I really felt disconnected from everything it is really a place not to miss during your visit after Chichén Itza! It is located 20 minutes from the chichen itza by car. A paradise, absolute calm!

So much quieter and peaceful than other large cenotes. Not too tiktok famous yet which is a good thing.
Absolutely stunning and great history, being cleared and maintained by local village.

Costo de entrada de adultos y niños. Que tan lejos está de Chichen Itza, en cuanto tiempo en auto
Written 6 December 2017
20 minutos en auto y el precio es muy razonable ya que te incluye los chalecos salvavidas (como 250 para una familia de 4) Muy recomendable la visita, tiene muy buenas instalaciones y no está tan saturado de turistas. Cuenta además con un restaurante de comida típica muy rica y a precio muy accesible.

Is this Cenote (or any other ones) handicap accessible? We will be traveling with my elderly parents. I read that there is a restaurant, however, I'm not sure if it can be easily accessed, and/or if there is a view from the restaurant. I'm trying to sort out some type of options for them. Thank you!
Written 27 August 2017
Dear traveling friend. The cenote we went to was NOT handicapped accessible as far as I could tell and you actually had to manage some tricky steps to get into the cenote.
I would highly recommend that you talk to any of the local guides as there are many cenotes in the Tulum area, and I am confident that one of them would be a fit for your parents to view or visit.
Best of luck to you. You are wonderful to make sure your parents are comfortable. Kathy

Is transportation between Yokdzonot / Chichen Itza easy to find once you arrive at Chichen Itza? Can you get easy bus service from Chichen Itza to Merida following the night light show?
Written 20 July 2017
I would say, No. I went as part of a small group tour and transportation was coordinated from the hotel to the ruins, then to the cenote. The drivers in that Yucatan are also pretty aggressive. I would be hesitant to ride a bicycle anywhere in that area, unless I was on a resort property. Hope that helps.

How much should it cost from Cancun Hotel Zone to Yokdzonot? Any idea how long it takes?
I am not looking for public transportation. Wondering if a taxi or recommended tour operator?
Thank you

Certainly not worth it from cancun. If you're staying in valladolid then its a short trip to this cenote. Valladolid is a lovely place btw and central to many popular attractions

Can I get to yokdzonot from chichen itza by collectivo and then continue to vallodolid later?
Written 11 May 2015
Yes, you can take a bus from Chichen Itza to Yokdzonot, but it is the opposite direction of Valladoloid. The buses pass at least once in hour going both directions on the highway near Yokdzonot, so it's doable, but you not if you're in a hurry.
