Snorkeling is weak. Not many fish murky water. The attractions along the edge of the lagoon were all fun. It was clean. If your hotel is south of Playa Del Carmen, it's cheaper to buy tix at Xel-Ha and get your own transportation.

Very white, powdery sand. No rocks. We enjoyed walks along the beach very much. Just remember to wear something on you to prevent sunburns.

if you want to see one of the most beautiful beaches left relatively untouched in Mexico. It is stunning for it's purity and lack of services. Though, you can get simple meal here if you like. Rent a car, be sure to have a Can-Do Riviera Maya map from the "Map Chick" (Google), and follow the tracks through the jungle... More

I will start out by saying I am not rating the restaurant or other attractions at the beach. The beach is beautiful and there is not many people on it. We did get robbed in daylight with people around. The man came out of the jungle snatched my wife's purse and then ran back into the jungle. So beware, I... More

One of the prettiest beaches I've ever been on. Limited seating for Bel Aire guests, but there was plenty for us. Private var and some food, all inclusive.

Great place for all ages. We started out with floating down the river. Snorkelling was amazing. Good food. Lots of fun. Something for everyone. Look forward to going back. Recommended by several friends before coming down.

This is a beautiful beach. You need to take a taxi here. It is so worth it. Not a tourist trap. Pure Mexican beauty.

Shrimp Tacos are good! Rum Punch is missing the main ingredient! Salsa - tasted a bit off. Only place to eat at Xpu Ha, but not bad.
