This chapel was so beautiful and right behind it there was an amazing view of the ocean and surrounding cliffs. We were even able to see a bunch of lizards. Really cool spot and felt very private and not crowded.

A lovely island with the most beautiful beach!! We booked a day trip to Isla Mujeres with Scuba Caribe and it was very enjoyable, once on the boat over we hired a golf cart for 4 hours through S.C for $60 US dollars which is around $1200pesos we found out once on the island their a bit cheaper, so you could shop around as their are a number of companies hiring the said carts. It’s a real fun day on the carts and takes about two to three hours to get around the island if stopping off at the different sites. One cool spot was feeding the turtles in a marina then we drove to the southern most point of the island to see the light house and giant Iguana statue...a lovely spot!! On our return finishing up at Norte Beach a beautiful beach beyond compare!! We eat at the Mayan Beach Club restaurant which is one of the first restaurants at the northern end of the beach, the food was fine and if you choose to eat there you’re allowed to use their beach sun beds free, which we did!! So we recommend you definitely do a day trip to Isla Mujeres and it’s gorgeous Norte Beach!!

This is the beautiful site where the sunrise is first seen in Mexico every day. The view is gorgeous, the stone path walkways lead you to a rocky trek along the surf where the caves and cutaways (and sleepy iguanas) allow for great photos, and artwork in the form of metal sculptures and rock cairns make this trip altogether rejuvenating and memorable.

Plenty of dive shops will take you out to this small reef, perhaps only a mile off Playa Centro. It's a quick and easy way to get in some nice snorkeling without having to go very far.

Love the improvements at CD--we've been going here over the past 5 years or so. Pool and Palapas are great. Nice drinks by the pool or private cabanas...no minimums to spend. Even provided free masks and snorkels for me and my kids... if you have a gold cart definitely worth stopping in for a few hours for some food and drinks

We love coming here - it’s our only little getaway from Privilege Aluxes where we always stay. Parque has paddle boarding, kayaking, snorkeling, swimming, a rope to swing from, a pool with a swim up bar, a regular bar/restaurant- AND THE BEST FISH TACOS I’VE EVER HAD!!! I’m from Texas and live in California, I’ve had an abundance of fish tacos, so trust me. Rent a golf cart and make your way to Parque when you’re on Isla, you won’t be disappointed.

This was one of the best deals on the island! It was only 30 pesos per person, which is about $1.50USD. This is a nice sea turtle hatchery. It was very clean when we went there and the animals seemed very well taken care of. There is one large house with several tanks and the walls are lined with other fish tanks. In an enclosed area are buried clutches of sea turtle eggs and there is a very large area with a pier you can walk down to see the larger turtles. For an additional 30 pesos you can purchase a little bag of turtle food and feed all but the tiny hatchlings. Great experience, great conservation effort!!
