This was a huge disappointment! I'm not a picky person & I can have fun just about anywhere, as can my boyfriend, and by the looks of the brochure we were pumped to visit; but this was a big ol' scamming letdown. My parents went here 25 years ago & have been telling me for years how beautiful it is.... More

This is a fantastic experience for any group traveling. All inclusive with decent food and drinks, and a ton of water-related activities. Nice area for children at the kiddie pool, and fun for the adults with zip-lines and snorkeling. Bikes, intertubes, and photo opps for those with school-age children. On top of that, to have a natural water park with... More

Unfortunately due to our tour we only had a few hours , but it is almost certainly a full day event! I loved the bikes you could ride to the start of the snorkelling area! We were in a bit of a rush, but I still enjoyed every second here. The restaurants were DELICIOUS!!! The Mexican one was the only... More

A Park we enjoyed for the whole day on all inclusive tickets. The scenery is so beautiful! When snorkeling, we enjoyed the clean water and various fish. Flying was so scared and exciting. Sleeping is the sunshine was awesome. And the BBQ was so delicious! But if you don't like snorkeling or playing in the water, the park is only... More

Second time here, full and active day, can do as much or as little as you want. Spent the whole time in the park running, swimming, snorkelling, diving, and on zip lines. Beautiful park and scenery. Food areas great, however too busy in dashing about to make full use of those facilities. One of my best days ever. if you... More

After a couple of hours, ate lunch at the buffet.. food was good, not awesome, but good (better than the buffet at our hotel) (Included... More

Well upon arrival we were given wristbands and as we had Pre booked the dolphin swim we would do this first. Sure enough it lived up to the billing and would recommend doing it. It is a packed hour where the dolphins do all sorts an it ends with a foot push!! You are then whisked away to look at... More

Our 3rd visit in 3 years and we have so much fun every time! It is so large, it never feels crowded. It is not your American amusement park. All built around the natural beauty of the area, it is meticulously cared for and visitors respect this, keeping it very clean. It is so nice to have breakfast, lunch ,... More

Great day on the park. One day really is not enough to see it all though. Took my three year old out on the river with no issues. Ate lunch at the restaurant beside the jaguar isle, great buffet! Went to the butterfly pavilion, the aquarium, turtles and the snorkel inlet. Got the "plus" package, included the lunch, one beer,... More
