What travellers are saying
- Michelle MMuskego, WI65 contributionsWorth the money $170 pesos (US $8.96). we went late afternoon and not very busy. Neat to see ocean creatures up close and not feel rushed to move out of another persons way. Sad the dolphins are nonlonger there which was a main draw for me, but still a relaxing time.Written 20 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Yleana AAcapulco, Mexico37 contributionsVery interesting, busy place, with interesting views of the port and very family oriented. People are bicycle riding and skating and it´s full of things, going on. It´s also a very clean and well kept area.
Only bad thing is the smell of some parts of the portWritten 1 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Amy WCardiff, UK12 contributionsSlightly surreal experience as we were the only customers in the park the day that we visited but would fully recommend! Three members of staff followed us around for the day and turned the slides on and off depending on which one we wanted to use. The food facilities were also running and were excellent! Apparently this time of year there are often only a few customers a day so would recommend if you want the VIP treatment!Written 5 March 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- RoqueMexico City, Mexico559 contributionsThe place is very nice if you go for the dunes. The dunes experience is very good and a lot of fun. The beach is nice but you may have a lot of people crossing with motorcycles and other vehicles and loud music from people with speakers at the beach together with many people selling all kind of food and stuff.
My recommendation, is to come here for the dunes and to eat something, you will have a great time and for bathing probably go to a different beach.Written 16 August 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Modern museum on various topics
It is worth a visit, due to its modernity, its excellent setting, the palace where it is held is worth visiting with a giant world map on the floor of the central square of the building (covered). It has several rooms with different themes about the army and the different armed interventions that have taken place in Veracruz. Highly recommended.Written 10 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Not a tourist town but real Mexico.Written 10 October 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Ninaomer86 contributionsIt is fantastic that people still keep these traditions alive. Seemingly simple but a dangerous feat for these men. Even going up the pole would be impossible for most of us much less falling head first slowly to the ground. Costumes are also very colourful and beautifully stitched. Very entertaining.Written 29 January 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- MichiganPilotWarren, Michigan90 contributionsOur tour included El Tahin also. El Tahin was a spectacular ruins and on our way we stopped at Papantla-the city of Vanilla. This combo tour was worth it even if the trip was very long. The roads are not good.Written 22 February 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- javierdelmoralGuadalajara, Mexico75 contributionswarm sea, you should buy personal ticket by 150 pesos, some will ask between 150 to 250 but is the same, they all depart from same place and do same tour to sacrifices island and cancuncito, they charge extra if you need snorkeling equipment so better to take yours, nice coral and hedgehogsWritten 7 November 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Lucinda MGuadalajara, Mexico87 contributionsWhat I like about this Plaza de Armas is that a real public space used and enjoyed by the Veracruz community, which happens to also welcome visitors -- who can absorb a better sense of the community by walking around, stopping at a government building, at the cathedral, or at any of the restaurants/coffee shops facing the plaza. It's also great to look down upon it from several of the bordering hotels, the Colonial, say, or the Gran Hotel Diligencias. My favorite time is at nightfall when there are often beautiful performances of 'danzón', music and dance.Written 16 January 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
