we went to the ranch on 2/17/09. we loved it the horses seemed to be well cared for and our guide Ray tried to match everybody to their horse. We are not at all experienced riders, but we had no problems. If you stay calm and don't get the horses all excited you will do fine. We will definatly be returning to the ranch the next time we go to Cancun
My boyfriend and I went on the ATVs yesterday, after booking the activity ahead of time. The ATV rides were NOT what I expected. We had to go through PONDS of water and over massive rocks; it was terrible and I could hardly get any speed or really ride. One of our ATVs broke down and there was no staff around to help us.
I booked this place to go riding on my honeymoon. It started pouring rain when we arrived. I told the guide I didnt want to ride in a storm and he siad, sorry, no refunds. You will be fine. Against my better judgement, I went. The rain had lightened up a little. I made it to the beach, but when we got back on the horses, it started to rain again. ...
I own two horses of my own, but I wanted to take a leisure ride where I didn't have to focus on the training aspect. I figured I'd be on a typical, "programmed" trail horse who knows its job. Yeah, right.
Our guide, Fernando, blasted past us on a very narrow part of the trail at a full gallop. This was about ten minutes into ...

Horse ride from hell!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/26/08
Where do I start? First, the stable never arranged to pick us up from our hotel, just 10 minutes away, although they insist on it. We could have booked a cab for $40 for 4 of us roundtrip, but went along with their $60 charge anyway. When we got there 20 minutes late, they also then tried to charge us $68 for the cab. Good thing we had a written ...

Travelers who wants adventure

I highly recommend any/all of the activities at Rancho Loma Bonita, you will be guided on horse back, Segway, wave runners or ATV`S by thoughtful, competent staff and be outfitted with quality, up-to-date safety equipment. Prices are quite reasonable and the operation, in my opinion, is the best ot its kind in the all of the Caribbean or Mexico

Best way to start a Sunday
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/06/08
I booked this tour through the reservation desk at the Hilton - and had an amazing experience. I haven't ridden horseback in 8 years, so I was more than a little intimidated - but it was well worth it.
Our guides were quite good with matching us up with suitable horses. They also displayed a genuine interest in ensuring that each of us had ...

I was there in April 2008, I thought it would be a completely different experience. The staff was nice, but other than that I do not recommend this place..when the "guides" were giving their "instructions" on what we were going to do, we could barely hear him, and told us that these horses without any notice could just ...
