Resort course that's a bit older, but well maintained, though the rental clubs and carts show their age. The clubhouse serves a nice breakfast if you're getting an early start. There are a couple of crocodiles living along the course, but they have eaten very few golfers lately, so leave them alone and they'll return the favor.
A family-owned scuba diving center operating since the early 2000s. PADI-certified instructors lead small groups (maximum 4 divers).
Full service dive shop. PADI certified instructors and courses. Trips to MUSA (undersea museum), reefs, etc. Cenote diving available. Equipment included.
Small Maya archaeological site on the south end of the hotel zone. The settlement was at its peak around 250-600 AD. There are 47 structures here as well as a small site museum. Bring mosquito repellant.
In the middle of the La Isla Shopping Village in the hotel zone, this small, modern aquarium lets you get up close and personal with aquatic life. You can pet rays, nurse sharks, touch starfish, etc. You can pay to swim with captive dolphins in a large pool. There's a Mexican/seafood restaurant above the aquarium, where you can watch dolphin shows (or dolphins playing amongst themselves in between shows) while eating.
Tourist trap wax museum that charges too much for admission then has the audacity to tell visitors they can't take pictures.
