Just okay
JoseMario was wonderful. Very sweet, kind man. I booked the Coyuca Lagoon and baby turtle release. We didn't go to the Coyuca Lagoon, but to a different one (which was supposed to be prettier/nicer), I don't care because I know no different. After visiting the turtle rescue, we took a very long drive to an Afro Village and then a small boat ride up the river (lagoon) and then to lunch, which was a chicken kabob. Good, but not worth $170. Other than the turtle release, I was rather bored. I brought the wrong denominations with me, so I had to pay JoseMarios tip through PayPal. Hopefully, he got it...
Operator response
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience and for your kind words about JoseMario. We are so proud to have him on our team, and we'll be sure to pass your compliments along to him—he will truly appreciate it.
We also sincerely appreciate your honest feedback regarding the tour itself. We are sorry to hear that certain aspects, particularly the long drive and the overall value, did not meet your expectations. We constantly review our itineraries based on guest feedback, and your comments about the pacing and the lunch offering are very valuable for us to improve.
To clarify for future guests, the alternative lagoon we visit is indeed 3 Palos Lagoon, if you know it], which we find offers a more authentic and less crowded experience. However, we understand your point and will ensure the value and engagement of the entire excursion are clearer.
Regarding your tip for JoseMario, we can confirm that payments sent to our official PayPal are received and given directly to the guide. We have verified that JoseMario received your generous tip. Thank you for making sure he was recognized for his service.
We are truly glad you enjoyed the baby turtle release experience and hope that was a memorable highlight. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a more consistently enjoyable experience in the future.
Warm regards,

Tour lagoon coyuca
They are a reliable, timely, quality, and personalized agency.
The walk to Coyuca lagoon is highly recommended for its biodiversity, totally different from the other areas of Acapulco, it is very quiet and with community life.
