I am not a radical "Save the Planet" kind of guy, nor am I a vegetarian wacko. I believe in keeping companion animals, otherwise referred to as pets. However, these attractions have a sordid past, that no one talks about. Watch "The Cove" before you rave over what a great experience this is for you and your family. Dolphins are... More

I'll tell you up front, I can be a cheapskate and a tightwad. I wasn't too happy to pay the prices for everything including the picture packages. In the the end.........it was worth it for the experience. The whole family really enjoyed the experience. The onsite photographers took excellent pictures of the family.

I sincerely hope people will not support these establishments that pen up these beautiful wild creatures. The dolphins are so unhappy that they eventually commit suicide by just not breathing.

I had swam with dolphins before in the Cayman Islands and honestly I thought it was better, but this was my husbands first time and we both had lots of fun! We paid for the trip with our 'resort credits' from the Cozumel Palace so that made it much better since we weren't paying big bucks for it. Like others... More
