Amazing Snorkeling
Cheryl B,Mar 26, 2026

5.00My husband and I visited on March 22, 2026. We are beginner snorkelers and not strong swimmers. This was perfect for us! You snorkel from the beach and you can see beautiful fish in water that’s not over your head. The included buffet wasn’t great.
Incredible Day in Paradise!

5.00This excursion was the highlight of our trip, offering crystal-clear turquoise waters and pristine, soft sand. The staff was friendly and professional. You could snorkel, ride the banana boat however many times you wanted, soak up sun on the beach, complete the water obstacle course until as many times as your heart desired. It was all inclusive with food and drink and we all enjoyed. This experience exceeded all of our expectation. My family and I highly recommended and would do it again!
Make sure your shuttle is provided

3.00We kept asking for a shuttle like the tour said we would get. We kept getting told we had to take a taxi. It cost us $70 round trip because we kept getting misinformed intentionally. It was not only us this happened to.
Very cool experience with flamingos

5.00We had a wonderful experience; the ferry was a nice ride. All staff were extremely helpful and friendly. We really enjoyed our time at the private beach with the up close flamingo experience. We also liked the water park time with our 1 year old daughter- she seemed happier there than at all the beaches we visited. I highly recommend the private beach with VIP palapa if you want a special experience and can afford it.

5.00I found the island with options for everyone. Children's pool, toboggan, snorkeling and interaction with the flamingos. I found the meals and drinks served also very delicious. Both lunch and snack. It is an excellent tour option for those who are not in an all inclusive resort.

5.00We had such an amazing time at the beach! The water was beautiful, the atmosphere was relaxing, and everyone we encountered was so friendly and welcoming. The excursions were a lot of fun and really made the experience even better. I would absolutely come back again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting!
Tourist trap
Jill R,Mar 10, 2026
- Review from Viator
2.00It was ok. Everyone that worked there was very nice. Just not a lot to do there. My 10-year-old was bored after two hours. The food is mediocre. We ended up leaving early. We were very happy to know that the boat goes back-and-forth so we could go back to our hotel. Honestly, it's overpriced and it's a tourist trap.
Not worth it at all

- Review from Tripadvisor
1.00This really isn’t worth a single dollar, the only way i can imagine you enjoy this is if you have kids, The island is simply for kids. The activities are boring, the food is boring, the staff are friendly, thats my only upside. There is no reason for you to spend $135. Just go to almost any other beach enjoy your time there and find yourself a nice restaurant to have some dinner. I assure you you would have a better time that way
From US$135.00
