Best resort experience

Explorean is a small resort in the middle of the jungle. This is a very well maintained property with comfortable rooms and friendly staff. It is a great place to go to if are looking for a relaxing retreat and/or want activities that explore nature in the and archeological sites in the southern part of the Yucatan Peninsula.

Nice retreat tucked away by Kohunlich ruins

My friend and I spent 5 days in this serene spot. If you’re looking for a party scene or nearby cities, this is not for you. If you’re looking to unplug and relax in a lush jungle this is for you! The food was plentiful. There was 2 choices for lunch and dinner, but always great options. Food was fresh and high quality. The excursions included kayaking in Bacalar, biking to Kohunlich and going to the mangroves at Chakabakam lagoon. There was a wonderful surprise at Chakabakam that was a great experience(they told us not to give away the surprise!). Armando was our guide and we had great conversations about the lagoon and Mayan culture. He is very knowledgeable and we appreciated the tour in English since our Spanish is not so good.

An excellent option to visit MX jungle

We spent one week at Kohunlich and the place & hotel are truly an experience. You will find a five star hotel in the middle of the jungle; with an extraordinary food and all that you need. Every day you will have an excursion that could be kayaking, swimming in a beautiful lagoon or biking in the middle of the jungle.
