Be prepared for a long drive from Cancun, but it’s totally worth it. The hotel is settled in the middle of nowhere, but next to the most beautiful Kohunlich ruins to which you can either walk (2.5km), take a bike or drive couple minutes to get there. The bungalows are very spacious and nice. Each of them has a nice... More

If you can get the Living Social deal, don' t hesitate. It is a first class resort in rural mexico. Everyday is a different tour. Food is wonderful and service is excellent. The biggest deterrent is the drive from Cancun; but the roads are excellent. just watch out for the Topes. More

We too got this deal on Living Social and boy are we ever glad we did. We just rented a car and drove from Playa del Carmen where we live for several months a year. The car rental worked out to only $31/day, but it still would have been cheaper to take the ADO, but we stayed a night in... More

My husband and I also found this resort through LivingSocial. The drive is pretty far from the Cancun airport (where we flew in), especially when you take the ADO bus if you can't afford a $3,000USD hold on your credit card that's required by the car rental companies. Still, took about 7 hours on the bus and only cost us... More

I traveled to the Explorean for Thanksgiving week with a friend, using our Living Social deal. I had requested two beds but when we arrived we had a king. The only difficult part of the week was getting a new room the following day. Everything else was great. I will say that a lot hinges on the other guests staying... More

I really liked the Explorean. The excursions were fun, challenging and interesting...especially the night kayacking with the crocodiles. I do not agree with the posts that compare the food and accommodations to the "Four Seasons", although they were good. The Explorean does a poor job communicating pre-trip logistics via email and trying to coordinate on the phone was very difficult.... More

The Explorean is a place to get away from it all. We bought the Living Social deal and had a wonderful experience. The people who work at the resort are very kind and helpful. For our activities we spent two days kayaking, a day biking and a day touring the Mayan ruins. Everyone that went on our trips felt like... More

My fiance and I found this resort through Living Social and had an amazing time! The cabana with private dipping pool was incredible. When requested, the staff would fill the pool with warm water in the morning, leaving it the perfect temperature for the evening. The daily activities were perfect for us. Walking through Mayan ruins with Herlan, who has... More

"Days spent tearing through the jungle as your kayak rushes up the Rio Hondo..." "Venture forth each day...and jump into a daily adventure activity..." These were the quotes from our booking that lead me to believe that this was a vacation stay and an adventure wrapped into one. It wasn't. The tours were not adventurous at all. If you are... More

Terrible food, terrible staff, and terrible bugs. We left the resort cutting our vacation short and the staff could have cared less. Don't waste your money. More
