Chachoben Mayan Ruins + Beach day by la chilangaloense beach club, round shuttle

Our trip was canceled at the last minute. We were told that the taxi drivers were on strike. Having such late notice did not leave us time to book another excursion. This was very disappointing but apparently not something that could be fixed. We are now hoping a refund from Viator will be be given.

Highly recommend this combo. Mayan ruins are interesting and worth visit (pick just one ruin). Once done, we headed to the Ibiza beach for some food and drinks. Water was too cold for swimming. The guide and driver were very nice

When we selected this excursion initially there were more reviews than what is showing now. One of the main reasons we chose it is because nearly every review we read described all the great information about the area and the ruins that was shared by their driver on the ride there. Our driver did not speak a word of English and did not say a thing to us the entire way there and back (over 45 minutes each way). Some of the reviews mentioned their driver stopping at a roadside pineapple stand or other such fun things to make their experience great, and again, we had none of those. We did love visiting Chacchoben and thought the ruins were very interesting. When we arrived we were not given a map and had no idea where to go, so that was a bit stressful. We thought about a guided tour, but it was $40 for one hour so we decided against it. Finally just started walking and discovered everything on our own. We were disappointed that we didn’t spot even one spider monkey. The staff at Ibiza Beach club were great. Just know that there is a reason that the picture of their beach area is of the sand and seating and not looking out over the water. There are many sections of “fence” which hold back the seaweed and it’s not very pretty. The water is not clear and we decided not to snorkel even though we brought our equipment. We did see a few fun fish near the surface in the little enclosed section. The food was good (especially the beef tacos!) and open bar was nice. We did feel very taken care of! Still not a bad excursion for the price, but wish a few things had been better.

Was a bit scared by seeing only one review at the time of booking and I rarely provide reviews, but the experience was too good of a value not to share. Our port stop was not a full day, so having our van driver positioned right where he was supposed to be holding a placard with our family's name was a great start. A quick 45 minute drive to the Chaccoben Mayan Ruins where we self-guided ourselves through the interesting site,then hopped back into the van and headed to the seaside town of Mahahual. This sleepy village was located just 5 minutes from the Costa Maya port. Jackie, the owner of the family run Ibiza Sunset Beach Club, warmly invited to her establishment. It was not fancy, though one could envision this being a spot in Cancun 40 years ago. Over the next couple of hours we enjoyed the beach area, the food and unlimited beverages. Several of us voted the fish tacos as the best meal of our cruise! The local beer, Barrilito, is a nice, light lager. Manuel, our waiter, kept us supplied and included a couple rounds of tequila shots as well. Ran out of time to take advantage of the affordable massages on the beach. Well done, Ibiza Sunset Beach Club!!

The ruins were very cool and we were able to see some great things just walking around. Traveling between each was simple. Then the beach was incredible, exactly what you imagine on vacation sitting on the beach with a margarita. The staff were amazing as well. Leo and Jackie were fantastic.

Superbe journée que nous avons passés , notre taxi était bien présent, la visite des ruines étaient très agréable et nous avions le temps que nous voulions pour visiter et se balader. Ensuite le repas et les boissons à volonté étaient excellents face a une belle plage. Vous pouvez réserver sans réserve
