Cristalino is one of the easiest Riviera Maya cenotes to understand: arrive, swim, snorkel, relax and jump if you want a little adrenaline. It has enough facilities to work well for families without feeling like a giant adventure park. Its location also makes it easy to compare with nearby Cenote Azul instead of committing a whole day.
