El Tinto is located just off the main highway, surrounded by dense jungle with no resort-style development nearby. It is a long, isolated course that feels very different from the polished golf experiences most visitors expect when coming to Cancún.
This is not a resort course, and the overall experience reflects that. While some golfers appreciate the natural setting, many others find the course conditions, organisation, and atmosphere fall well below expectations for a destination golf experience.

⚠ Before You Book — Worth Knowing
Recent feedback suggests that experiences here can be inconsistent. Visitors have mentioned issues with course maintenance, pace of play, and interactions that feel unnecessarily uncomfortable or unwelcoming.
While some golfers may enjoy the quiet and remote setting, this course is unlikely to meet the expectations of most visitors looking for a relaxed, professional, and enjoyable round of golf in Cancún.
For many travellers, there are simply better-maintained, more welcoming, and more reliable options nearby.
