Super location, only 6minute car ride to chichen itza. Hotel looks good, nice pool pretty flowers. Beds are very hard, would not like to sleep on it for several nights. But overall nice hotel, good service, clean.
Very quiet hotel, good value for $ Restaurant food Good, rooms clean and well serviced. Pool great.
Beatiful hotel. Super clean and Beatiful decorations. Gardens around the pool. Nice cozy rooms. We stayed one night after visiting Chichén-Itzá. We had the entire place to ourselves all afternoon, then a few groups showed up around supper time. It felt like a mini vacation in a private hotel. Breakfast was amazing, appies and margaritas served right to us in the pool. Highly recommend this gem. The site is about 7 minutes taxi ride and 110 pesos. Perfect location in my opinion.
very nice atmosphere. great patio with pool. original and cosy rooms. friendly personel
This hotels gives tradional mexican vibes. Nice room, comfortable bed, good shower. No fridge. Noisy a/c unit. Pool looks good but didn't have time to use. Secure parking. Only had coffee, no food or breakfast and it was nice but over priced. Excellent location
Friendly staff, most of them are speaking really good english. Food was good, and the rooms are Clean. Nice pool with lots of plants, birds and tiny lizards.
We recently spent several nights at this hotel. We decided to stay in the family suite as we like to have a little extra space. Our room was nice, comfortable king bed, large bathroom, a refrigerator and decent closet space. The pool area is nice, we didn't swim, but it was a great place to sit and relax. The restaurant breakfast was good and we enjoyed a light meal and drinks one evening. The staff was friendly and efficient. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. It's the perfect hotel if you want to get an early start to a Chichen Itza visit.
This was the perfect place to stay during our visit to the area. While we didn't get to enjoy the pool, we did enjoy food and drinks and a quick game of pool. Our room was really nice, the beds were comfortable and room was beautiful. Excellent location and we were helped with getting a tour guide for our visit of Chichen Itza. We only stayed for one night of our road trip through the area but will definitely return to this hotel on our next trip!
