Cenote Ik kil, Chichen Itza

Beautiful cenote, unfortunately spoilt by it’s own success, as the crowds descend on the site every day. We were fortunate enough to stay overnight in one of their lovely huts. This allowed us access to the cenote before and after hours. Swimming in the cenote at night is a truly magical experience, especially as there will probably be no one else there. The huts are very comfortable and clean, with great a/c and friendly staff. It’s also close to Chichen Itza for an early start to beat the crowds there!

Absolutely stunning and breathtaking! The cenote is beautiful and refreshing, you would be able to spend couple hours there easy! But go before 11am (open at 9am) to avoid the crowd, as most tour groups will start arriving after. Cenote Ik Kil is privately owned, therefore you’d be able find restaurants and accommodations if needed. Ticket includes life jacket (compulsory for all swimmers) and a locker.

The cenote was amazing. The grounds were beautiful. Definitely a must see. I would recommend just ordering from the restaurant the buffet lunch included with the experience wasn't that good.

Easy stop to cool off after visiting Chichén Itzá. Clean cenote but with lots of traffic. Expect it to be filled with tourists. Good water temp and nice diving platform for the adventurous. Would recommend.

Beautiful spot. Stopped for a quick visit on a tour. If you're going to rent a locker, it's the first stop inside (follow the signs). The lockers are located closer to the back of the park. Be sure to bring water shoes because the steps are slippery. Leave anything important in your locker, as my husband's glasses are now at the bottom of the water. A waterproof case for your phone is important, because the pictures are beautiful. Bring cash for a quick snack before leaving. The food carts and convenient store were very clean and helpful. Overall, this is a beautiful place to visit. We were only here for a few hours, but could have easily spent all day walking around.
