The famous pink lakes of Mexico, Rio Lagartos. A magical sight! Pink waters and blue sky, It was like sunset reversed; a feast for eyes! There are plenty of colorful salt lakes near Las Coloradas/Rio Lagartos in the Yucatan peninsula. It is just 2 hours drive away from Chichén Itzá and around 3 hours from Cancun. Public transport is scarce in this part of Mexico.
We took a rental car and it was an easy and comfortable journey for us :) Once we reached Las Coloradas, we were welcomed by giant white salt mountains. After driving around the salt mountains for some time, we finally found someone local who took us to this beautiful private salt lake.

"Cleanness, great staff, location"

Fiesta Americana Condesa Cancun All Inclusive

"Our room was beautiful, clean and comfortable! The food was really good, lots of options in the buffet, my favorite place for lunch or a snack was the Cevicheria. We tried the new Brazilian place (that replaced the Thai place) and it was great! Unfortunately the Argentinian steak house and the nice Mexican place were closed for remodeling but we were there during the off season so that's the best time to remodel. I appreciate that they are continuing to make improvements to the property so while it was a slight inconvenience, they will be great when they're done. The spa was also closed for remodeling but we were still able to book very enjoyable beach front massages! Every single staff member was outstanding! Super friendly and very helpful, they really go above and beyond to make sure you have a wonderful time! Oswaldo by the pool never let our drinks get empty and Claudio in the buffet had my mimosa on the table as soon as he saw me coming! Wendy and the rest of the entertainment staff were so much fun and we participated in a few activities with them including a guacamole class and a very enthusiastic game of "Name That Tune" in the pool! The staff in the bar were also great, very helpful and friendly as was the front desk & concierge. Literally every single employee you pass greets you with a cheerful "Hola!" I have stayed here once before and brought a different friend this time and she loved it! We can't wait to return!! "
