CENOTE (sēn-OH-tay) From the Mayan dzonot meaning “well,” a Cenote is a surface connection to a subterranean body of water. Commonly, cenotes are found as deep natural sinkholes, providing fresh water and shelter to local residents. Here, you will find yourself in an urban cenote. We strive to provide our visitors with fresh homemade dining options by using local companies & products whenever possible.
