Mexico borders the USA to the north, the Pacific Ocean to the south and west, Guatemala, Belize and the Caribbean Sea to the southeast, and the Gulf of Mexico to the east. Playa del Carmen is located on the Mexican Caribbean coast, the so-called Riviera Maya, 70 km south of Cancún airport. The small, family-run hotel with its beautiful pool area is located in the middle of Playa del Carmen and despite its proximity to the center, it is very quiet and invites you to relax. The beach, many restaurants, bars, stores and supermarkets are just a few minutes' walk away. The Spanish word "cenote" originally comes from the Mayan word "dznot" and means "sacred water". The Yucatan Peninsula is basically a huge sponge soaked full of the clearest fresh water. Cenotes have been formed by the dissolution of limestone, creating caves and underground watercourses. Visibility of over 100 meters can be achieved, making diving an unforgettable experience. In many caves, salt water is pushed in from the sea and from a depth of 10 meters a layer forms between the salt water and fresh water in which the water mixes, the so-called "halocline", which appears like a surface in the water both upwards and downwards in its untouched state and conjures up a white line on the limestone when illuminated accordingly with a diving lamp! In general, the mix of stalactites, stalagmites and columns, as well as the light effects created by the sun, the view from the depths through the surface into the jungle, the mirror effects of the rocks in the shallow water to the surface and the "halocline" in combination with over 100 meters of visibility, is an absolute experience, especially for the spoiled, experienced diver. All cenotes are different and have their own charm and beauty and are sure to guarantee a big grin on your face after diving.
