“My friends and I really enjoyed this beautiful Isla Mujeres escape for half of the day! Everything outlined in the description was as expected, regarding timing and all required costs. (Optional costs are noted in my review below). The boat staff, operated by Cancun sailing, was very professional and knowledgeable and clearly explained everything throughout the day. They were also so friendly and helpful, always offering refills of drinks. Some of the drinks available besides water were margaritas, tequila sunrises, and rum punches. We got an explanation and choice as to whether we wanted to snorkel or just stay on the boat. The snorkeling was worth it, and we even…”

“Well where do I start first communication is trash. They claim that showed up to my resort and they did not because I was waiting in the lobby for almost an hour. Pick up time was 7:15pm I was at the lobby at 7:00pm. Second, they didn't not bother to call me to give me an eta status. Third, when I attempted to contact via phone to # provided on my confirm email that number belonged to GR Solaris. I lost $274 USD for two people and I wasted my Saturday night thanks to them. DO NOT BOOK!!!!!”

“There was way too many people on the boat!! This is not normal! The pictures they show you of the boat are outdated. The boat is not looked that pretty anymore. It’s very outdated some rough spots. It just doesn’t look as appealing as the photos. I recommend not doing this to her. They also charge you an extra $45 for a fee whether you snorkel or not so the cost is not correct because once you get there, you have to pay more money which isn’t fair. They do not mention this in the ad. You don’t eat until almost 4 PM you don’t leave until almost 1:30 PM…”

Unfortunately, the driver did not take the time to check tickets or booking numbers and took someone else using our name and we were ignored when we asked if they were picking us up, and they left without us. After having to prove we weren't actually on the bus we were told to "take a cab" to the marina, which would have left us abandoned there as it was so late. We agreed to be rebooked to today.…”

“DO NOT BOOK!! Don’t get me wrong the sailing itself was beautiful and the crew was very nice, but the transportation to and from was HORRIBLE! Our driver was 15 min late, we then proceeded to sit on the side of the road for another 30 min waiting for another van to bring us passengers, so we ended up being late and started the excursion late and the crew didn’t make up for the missed time. When we left we were told we would be dropped off at 9pm, but didn’t arrive back until 9:45pm and missed our dinner reservation we planned for. Very unorganized and the transportation ruined the…”
Pick a reef, a ruin or a cenote.
