WOW! What a dream of a place. I am obsessed with hearts so had to go here to see the giant heart in the water. The lagoon is stunning. Great little spot to stop for lunch (we brought ours with us). We brought our snorkels but the water was too cloudy to really see much. A nice overlook area, they have hammocks you can sit in in the water and you can actually go inside the heart and pose for photos. A great insta-gramable spot! It is far back off the road and the signage isn't that great. The GPS took us to wrong spot so just look for plastic banner at entry. I think it was $300pesos per person to get in. Totally worth it.

Wonderful lagoon to visit in Tulum, for 300 pesos per person. Only accepts cash!! You cannot take food with you, nor sun cream, only bottled water. Any extra like drones is more 250 pesos. It’s better if you go yearly (opens at 9 a.m ). After 12pm gets crowded (at least at Sunday). All the area is very clean.

The lake is a freshwater one with mangroves around. The nature is beautiful and it's fun to swim and dive a bit in the deeper areas. It felt like a cash cow, going there. You pay 300 peso if you're a human with different paper in your hand...150 when you got the "right" papers. You pay an extra 300 if you like a kayak/ SUP, you pay extra when you like to drink something, you pay extra when you like to fly your own drone, etc... Better drive to some further spots which aren't full of people, cause we went there and there were no space to chill, cause it was too packed. They could provide more beds, benches or anything...

This Laguna is a great spot to go swimming! We came after a long and hot walk through the nearby Tulum ruins, so it felt especially refreshing. The Laguna is only a few minutes of walking away from the parking lot. There is a nice observation tower to look at the shift between shallow and deep water. Regular swimmers are limited to the shallow area on the outskirts of the Laguna (which is very expansive) while divers with equipment are allowed to go to the deep center. In the shallow areas are various swings, hammocks, photo opportunities, and even volleyball nets (bring your own ball). We spent a few hours relaxing in the water and soaking up the sun. The ticket is 300 pesos per person and parking is free (need a small tip).

Absolutely stunning spot! Definitely a must-visit and I’d go back in a heartbeat. Best on a sunny day for the full colors, and weekdays are less crowded. Plenty of space and great photo ops. The bar by the deck serves drinks, cocktails, fruit, and more — the cold coconut was super refreshing. Easy access from the main road and clean restrooms.

The laguna itself is absolutely beautiful and truly the highlight of the experience. Unfortunately, the food and bar are extremely overpriced and feel exploitative. Pricing appears inconsistent, and as a foreigner I was charged 300 pesos for a single shot of Don Julio and 250 pesos for a vodka soda made with Absolut, neither of which are premium spirits. The setting has so much potential, but the pricing practices at the bar significantly detract from the overall experience.

Great place to swim, free dive or scuba dive. There is a sinkhole that’s 285 feet deep. Nice accommodations, bar, restrooms.

Laguna Kaan Luum is a stunning and peaceful lagoon just a short drive from Tulum. The shallow, turquoise waters are perfect for swimming, and the deep cenote in the center creates a beautiful contrast — it’s truly a sight to see. There are docks, hammocks, and swings that add to the relaxing vibe and offer great photo opportunities. The entrance fee is around \$17 USD for foreigners, and while it’s a bit more than other spots, the calm atmosphere and natural beauty make it worth every peso. Go early to avoid crowds, bring biodegradable sunscreen, and enjoy one of Tulum’s best hidden gems.

This isn't a cenote, its basically a lake that about 3/4 of it is super shallow - like 4 feet and the back side of the lake is a huge hole that is so deep it like goes to the center of the earth. Easy to get to, like a 10 min drive from down town Tulum. Well enough marked. Easy parking and cheap entrance. Why I didn't rate it better is that the walk way to the lake is a mess so are the bathrooms. The 'shore' is a swamp so you really have to hang out on the pier - which is just fine, it may get a little crowded. There are two cenotes super close by to check out to make the trip more worth while. cenote cristal and escondido.

This was recommended to us by our hotel staff and wasn't something we had originally planned ahead of time. Isn't that the best kind of adventure though? We took a taxi there and it was a 15min drive from Tulum town. Its not as touristy and definitely felt like a place the locals went to. The water was warm and calm and if you sit on the dock with your feet dangling, the little minnows will come peck at your feet and eat your dead skin. There are also lots of butterflies in the area so it was quite magical walking through the jungle to get to the lagoon. This is NOT a cenote, its an inland lagoon and pretty shallow (just above the waist) 50 Pesos for entrance fee. Cash Only. Bring organic sunblock - avoid using chemical ones as this ruins the environment. There was one bathroom but its pretty rural.

A sweet swimming hole w/ LOTS of natural flowers & fauna. They have an outhouse and a place to make a picnic shaded from the rest. We saw some amazing & above the marshy dock walk out to the warm waters!
