The Explorean Kohunlich - All Inclusive

The place is very nice and quiet. A good place for silent meditation or relaxing. Also, they provide 3 meals for us

We only stayed two nights, and unfortunately there was a rainy cold front which prevented me from using the pool. It is so lovely, that made me sad. At least there is a very large palapa sitting area with a bar and restaurant so we didn’t have to stay in our room the whole time. It is a nice size small resort, and easy to get around with paths through the lush jungle. The rooms are lovely, large thatched roof porch with a hammock and furnishings. Unfortunately again, the roof had some holes and leaked and it was all wet so I didn’t use it, including the hammock. The room was large, bedding very comfortable with fluffy pillows and very soft bedding! The sheets smelled nice and clean! There are nice handmade wooden shutters on the doors and interesting sliding screens that covered the widows so it was and dark for sleeping. Our first night we had turn down service with a treat. I. The morning a basket of coffee was left on the porch with some sweet breads. But the rules said no food or drink was allowed in the room! Lol The meals were very good. Usually All Inclusive serves buffets but we got to choose from daily specials and were served our meals. I liked that! Now for my problem- which was resolved. I just think it should not have occurred in the first place. This was a splurge for us, almost $300/night. When we were brought to our room it smelled musty. It should have been refreshed before they brought us. I should have mentioned it immediately but we had a long day driving in the rain and wanted to get in the room. I couldn’t sleep that night from the smell that increased as time went on. Since it was chilly we closed up the room. We should have used the AC to help but it was cold already! Besides the musty smell ( which could have been perpetuated from the rain, the bathroom had a terrible sewage smell! We were offered to move our room, which would have been a pain, so we allowed them to treat it. They poured bleach in the floor drain and it helped. Then we were afraid to shower and wash away the bleach. One thing they should mention at check-in, is that you can leave a tip for the employees at the end of your stay. We left some cash as we went but it is more convenient to leave a lump sum to be distributed amongst all the staff. I asked about the tipping policy but was not told that was an option. Overall, I think it is too expensive for what you get. We have stayed at luxury haciendas for less, and expected more here. If you can get a coupon or belong to the RCI it is worth a visit.

Staying in the jungle @ its finest. Excellent food, not as excellent when buffet service, but then they will accommodate if nothing interests you. Comfortable quiet rooms. Fun Daily activity often requires moderate effort, evening kayak is not to be missed. There for 2 weeks so for a change in 2nd week went to archeological site Xpujil with Victor, great guide & birder. Am wondering/worried how Tren Maya has impacted area & Explorian!? About 4 ½ hour drive from Cancun airport has been worth it, Calakmul, Balamku and "bat volcano" are doable & well worth seeing. Feel like we experienced the real Mexico

everything was great, the hotel, the food, amenities, and specially the guides of the trips we had (kayaking and the bike rides. we already are planning to return asap. congratulations to all the hosts.

Amazing. Laid back yet inclusive opportunities to see the hidden gems of an only partially unearthed Mayan world. Ride a bike 10 minutes into an amazing archaeological site. Take a trip into a hidden lagoon with non aggressive crocodile species and spider monkeys. Float in thethe Cenote (CO2 production) and learn about the Spanish colonies and Mayan dissolution. All inclusive is not just for food but for the tours. The knowledge and understanding gained in this immersive experience is enormous. It will likely go viral. On the one hand that will be great for the communities, on the other hand it will change it completely. We feel so lucky to experience this before the Mayan Train gets here but can truly say that this is a perfect experience for those who are curious.
