YAL-KU CENOTE Y Laguna Yalku

I feel like I reviewed this space already, but Google asked me to review it once again. We loved this facility. Very bare bones with regards to amenities, however, the kids had a great time swimming, the rental gear was good and it was very easy to get in and out of the water. It was not very crowded And we had a great time. Highly recommended.

We rented the Casa Laguna adjoining this lagoon and it was amazing to explore the place at different times of the day. Around 5-6pm is the best time of day, we experienced at least 7-8 full schools of different fish and they were much more in the open than during the morning or midday times. One of the highlights of our trip to Akumal for sure, highly recommend this experience and this casa was wonderful!

This is a place you want to visit because it located in a beautiful and connects to the ocean. The water is pretty and landscape also. There is no overhead canopy cenotes, they all open so great for kids. Buy tickets there, cheaper.

A very beautiful cenote. I loved it. It's a good choice since I've visited several. Even though it's an open saltwater cenote, it's still an excellent place. There's a variety of tropical fish and small animals.

The snorkeling in lagoon was very cool. The food was subpar and not good. The service at restaurant was lacking. We did rent a palapa and enjoyed it. The ceviche Vallarta was not good. My child said chicken nuggets were mushy inside. French fries good. Crowded in opening with tours, after tours left in afternoon a lot more pleasant. There were hammocks in our palapa that we enjoyed. Make sure you eat well before you get there, as the food service was not good. They do not allow you to bring your own food. They need more help in restaurant.

Our friend advised us this lagoon. The earliest you get in, the better it is so you can enjoy being almost alone there. It is quiet, chill, and you can actually see a lot of fishes. The snorkeling area is quite vast so you can wander around and contemplate the underwater world with lots of space to explore. The water is very nice, considering its not possible to swim anywhere else in the Sargassum period ! An oasis of quietness and finally, swimming possibility for us ! 🙏 (We went there middle of August). You can hang around, lie in hamacs and sleep… we stayed here all day, enjoyed the sun and the nature surrounding us. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. 👍

Super cool! Not a lot of people and lots of fish to see snorkeling!

The lagoon is beautiful! I highly recommend getting there early. Around 11 it started to get busy, and it became a little crowded. The water was clear and cool, and fish were plentiful! We rented gear from the front desk, and the masks were the full face snorkel masks that tend to fog up a lot. The current is strong to the right of the entrance, towards the ocean. Life jackets are required but weak swimmers be careful!
