About
Located outside the charming town of Valladolid in southeast Mexico, Suytun Cenote is a breathtaking natural sinkhole that attracts many travelers. The highlight is the middle platform of the cenote, which offers a stunning photo op, especially when rays of sunlight shine through the cave opening above. Just remember to bring a camera that can handle the low light. You can also take a dip into the turquoise waters (but not before wearing a life vest) and marvel at the beautiful stalactites hanging from the ceiling. Get there early in the day to beat the crowds. Consider exploring some of the other beautiful cenotes in Yucatan on a private tour. – Tripadvisor

    Photo-op
    This place has change rooms, bathrooms and the cenote is easily accessed by stone steps. It has a man-made stone bridge with circular pad at the end positioned under the natural skylight; perfect for posing. There was a long line-up of people clogging the bridge entrance, waiting for their turn for photos, and some of the posers were not very considerate, monopolizing the pad. Fortunately our 3 generation family did not care for photos. This semi-closed cenote has lovely stalactites. It is visually very nice, but if your main aim is swimming, it is less desirable. The cenote is small and does not have features such as rock islands or hanging roots to swim around. The 6 year old in our group declared it his least favorite cenote ( out of 4)

    Place for a photo
    Beautiful place and the staff kept everything together well. This is a place for taking a picture and the staff manages the queue and the time in the spot light well. So be prepared to wait in line for your turn and then take your picture on the platform. You can also take a swim in the cenote but this is not the best place for that. If you are in Valladolid, go with your own car or take a one way taxi (150mxn one way). Taking a round trip or a tour is more expensive.

    It's quite picturesque and we arrived early enough, at 0930, that we avoided the crowds. Some memorable pictures to make in the more famous of the two cenotes -- though not as impressive as some underground places on the coast. The second one is not so special but worth checking out too since included in the price anyway. We didnt try the food.

Alright, if you're looking for an Instagram Cenote this is the place to go. But if you're looking for a natural and magical place, you better go to any other cenote but this one.

Enjoy the nice waiting line of people who need to take a picture and feel like your in an amusement park in this cenote.

Happily you will get access to another Cenote when buying a ticket for this one. The other Cenote is alright and gives you a better glimpse of a real cenote.

The only thing here which is great is the staff, which has been amazing and kind in all the departments.

Cenote was beautiful well worth a visit, we have two small children and found it a lot more family friendly than some and well organised. Also had a good pool and reasonably priced restaurant with plenty of fans on a hot day!

The picture opportunity of this cenote is why I came here. I came here on my own instead of a tour. It helped a lot so not many people were waiting to take photos. Two Instagram Models were taking multiple pictures but they would stop and allow others to take pictures. If not for them there probably would have been time no one else was taking a picture. I am sure if we came on big bus tour the line to take pictures would have been long. It was not easy to get good photos but possible with minimal knowledge of picture taking. The water was very cold. Did not spend much time swimming. The area around the cenote was very beautiful.

Absolutely stunning. The Cenote is incredibly fascinating.
Our experience was unique because there was hardly anyone visiting, just a few couples and family.
You do have to make a line to get your picture taken in the center and only during certain times a day, around noon, the sunlight peaks through the top hole. It’s pretty magical in itself, but keep in mind it’s a tourist attraction and many people will go.

This is an excellent fully underground ceynote for visiting. Ample space to set your stuff for a quick swim and the staff was very nice and helpful.

This is one of the more popularly photographed ceynote for all the Instagram folks so if that’s what you are there for expect to wait in a bit of a line. If not, you can enjoy the swim and ceynote with plenty of space while the others stand in line for the pictures

Note that the staircase into the cave is steep and slick in spots so you do need to be able bodied to get in and hang on to the railing. There is an additional ceynote that’s also included with the price of admission which is partially covered and well worth the visit while there also.

After we left Chitchen Itza we decided to go to a Cenote. I had done my research and knew of a few nearby. I didn’t want to visit Cenote Ik Kil, which is literally 5 minutes down the road because all of the tour buses go there, but looking back, that Cenote would have been just fine and I’d probably go there next time. We tried going to Cenote Zaci in the town of Valladolid, but it was closed. We ended up at Cenote Suytun, which was pretty cool. It was $150 MX-pesos for each adult $100 MX-pesos for kids and our 4 year old was free. This paid for entrance to the Cenote and a life jacket. Based on the research I did of the cenotes in the area, this price was a little more than the others in the areas. Cenote Suytun is a unique cenote and you’ve probably seen it on Instagram. It is almost completely enclosed and there’s a platform you can walk out on to take pictures under the light coming in from the hole at the top. It is really beautiful. When we went there it wasn’t very busy and we stood in a line to have our picture taken on the platform. Our daughter was freaked out by the fish in the cenote, but everyone else enjoyed the experience. The water was a little chilly, but not as bad as the water you have to wash off in before you get into the cenote. I think we ended up spending just under an hour there and felt that was plenty of time. We also rented a locker for our stuff, but realized afterwards we could have just brought our stuff with us into the cenote.
