Reviews and Ratings
I felt like I was living in a jungle with the lush vegetation surrounding the rustic and nature-connected rooms. The service was top-notch, with professional and always available staff. The location was stunning, offering private access to Chichen Itza and a peaceful retreat by the pool. However, the dining experience was overpriced and slow, not included in the price.
I loved being able to keep my patio door open at night to hear the sounds of nature without letting bugs in, but the room was not as impressive as I had hoped. The service was just right, attentive but not overbearing, and the location was perfect, with a reserved entrance to the Maja site. The dining was decent, but impacted by the influx of tourist buses. Overall, a unique experience for archaeology enthusiasts.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were not as clean as expected, but they were decently comfortable. The proximity to the pool area was nice, hidden away among lush vegetation. However, there was an unexpected visitor, a scorpion, which was unsettling. The hotel's location was convenient for exploring nearby attractions, but the service was a bit of a letdown. I appreciated the effort to arrange a driver at a good rate, yet some staff members came off as unfriendly.
My stay at the resort was a mix of tranquility and convenience. The lodges scattered in the peaceful grounds offered privacy, but the room could use a bit of upgrading. The lack of storage for our belongings and drying space for essentials like towels and swimsuits was a downside. The service had its highs and lows, from accommodating a room issue to organizing transportation, but overall, it was a bit lacking. The location, nestled in a jungle-like setting with stunning wildlife, was a nature lover's paradise, although the green marketing promises fell short. The dining experience, despite tasty meals, was marred by slow service and high prices. The facilities had potential but could use improvement.
I stayed at this hotel during my visit to the Chichen Itza ruins. The location is perfect for exploring the area, and the rooms, though basic, offer a unique experience. The service was friendly, but there were some areas that could be improved. Overall, a decent choice for those looking for a quiet retreat near Chichen Itza.
