Sisters’ Mayan Experience

KelliA_W, Jan 2025

Jose and Carlos were excellent tour guides. The bus was clean, spacious and comfortable. Both experiences were enjoyable. The food at the restaurant was just ok. The servers were very attentive at the restaurant. We loved the pink beach and the places to take cool pictures. The Mayan Mud bath was also fun. This is a super adventure, but be prepared for a very long day. It is five hours each way on the bus.

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Thank you so much for your detailed review! We're thrilled to hear that you had an enjoyable experience with Jose and Carlos as your tour guides and that the bus was comfortable for your long journey. It’s great that you loved the pink beach, the photo spots, and the Mayan Mud bath! We appreciate your feedback on the food and the long travel time—it’s certainly a full day of adventure. We hope to welcome you again for more unforgettable experiences in the future! 😊✨

Great tour, uncomfortable journey

ANTONIO_B, May 2024

Great tour in nature. The pink lake is very pink but apparently sometimes it’s not - so be lucky! One major downside - the bus was way too small for my tour group. I was squeezed into something akin to a child seat (I’m 5’10”) with others almost sitting me. A 3.5 hour journey very uncomfortable for that. Would have rated 5 stars if not for the bus

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the natural beauty of the pink lake—it's definitely a lucky sight when it's so vibrant. We’re sorry to hear about the discomfort you experienced with the bus seating, especially on such a long journey. We appreciate your honesty and will work on improving the transportation to ensure a more comfortable ride in the future. Thank you for sharing, and we hope to offer you a 5-star experience next time!

A unique experience

Heather_B, Dec 2023

Be prepared for a very long day, but also a unique tour. I was skeptical regarding how pink the salt pond would be...but it was actually very pink. I regret that I didn't wear something pink to match the lake like many of the other visitors. There were many shorebirds at the pond, so if you enjoy birds, you may see a few species. We also did a mangrove tour, where we saw more birds. Be prepared to wade through some deep muck for the mud treatment portion. There were at least 100 flamingos when I visited in October, so that was a treat. The time at the beach was also nice and the food was good after a long day!

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed this unique tour, despite the long day. It’s great to know that the pink salt ponds lived up to your expectations, and that you got to see plenty of shorebirds, including flamingos—what a treat! The mangrove tour and mud treatment are definitely part of the adventure, even if it means getting a bit muddy. We're happy to hear that you enjoyed the beach time and found the food satisfying after such a full day. Thanks again for your review, and maybe next time you can bring something pink to match the lake! 🌸
