very good
I loved the treatment I received today from Willermo, the driver, and the photographer; they were attentive to us the whole time and to how each member of the excursion group was doing. Without a doubt, I would recommend doing this excursion and with these people (excursion company).

Nothing special
The swimming in Akumal did not satisfy me, although I understand that the control of the state of the sea cannot be controlled by the agency, of course. I think the payment of the park fee is excessive.
Operator response

Respecto a la tasa, esta se destina al acceso y conservación del Área Natural Protegida, ayudando a proteger a las tortugas marinas y su hábitat. Agradecemos tus comentarios y esperamos tener la oportunidad de recibirte nuevamente.

PRETTY GOOD.
Too much sargassum, and perhaps too much attempt at selling, but all the companies do it. The guide and the driver were spectacular
Operator response
¡Muchas gracias por compartir tu experiencia y por tu comentario!
Nos alegra saber que disfrutaste de la atención de nuestro guía y conductor; les haremos llegar tus amables palabras, ya que reconocimientos como el tuyo son una gran motivación para todo el equipo.
Lamentamos que la presencia de sargazo haya afectado parte de la experiencia. Desafortunadamente, es un fenómeno natural que varía día a día y está fuera de nuestro control, aunque siempre buscamos ofrecer la mejor experiencia posible adaptándonos a las condiciones. También agradecemos tus comentarios sobre la oferta de fotografías; valoramos tu opinión y la tendremos en cuenta para seguir mejorando.
Esperamos tener la oportunidad de recibirte nuevamente en otra aventura con Ocean Tours-
