A Hacienda with a beautiful tour including swimming in Cenote's. This is a must. Although it is a tourist trap, it's worth it. There is a restaurant and an overpriced gift store on premises.

A laid back Cenote experience compared to the Hacienda. Wear a swim suit and bring goggles or mask if you have them. You'll be taken to 3 cenotes, on aa horse pulled flatcar and given as much time as you like to enjoy each one. Very tranquil and beautiful.

Several dishes to choose from to try Yucatan Food. It’s unique to anywhere else in the world. There are two locations. I prefer the one I linked fir a nicer ambiance.
Getting around
Uber
As far as getting from point A to point B- Uber is Fantastic and affordable. I can recommend a personal guide to take you on a great Cenote, archeological or shopping trip.
