It’s an isolated area near some amazing places, but I’m afraid that the train Maya is going to bring a lot of tourism and change the entire nature of the place, and that the local people will be the last to benefit from this. I think we got there just as the wave was starting to break.

This hotel is in a good location for visiting Bacalar and it's easy to walk to the center of town. The rooms and facilities are clean, the breakfast is okay and the view from the pool on the roof is beautiful.

Nice hotel for the star level and price. Incredibly clean (immaculate) in rooms and around hotel, fluffy towels and great sheets. Bed a little hard but that’s Mexico. Great wifi. Hot water. Staff friendly. Neighborhood is a block back from Main Street so no street noise but some roosters and dogs (again normal for Mexico). Restaurant in hotel had lots of options and was good. We liked it and would stay again. Very safe area. A great base for Calakmul trip.

There was a great deal of wood in the rooms. Adjacent to the hotel was a nice restaurant. The room was well refreshed and included AC. The office was great to help with taxis. On site laundry service. The secluded area was pleasant and pretty. There is a serene ruin in walking distance. Caring staff at hotel and restaurant.

We arrived at our room, the beds were not made, we didn't have towels, the staff was notified and they were quick to fix this. In one of the rooms, the TV didn't work. The location is ok to some archeological sites, it is an average stay. We had breakfast the next morning and the options were nice.

The location was good from a archeological sites location. The wifi was horrendous. If you didn't have cell coverage you'd be hooped. Overall the place was OK, staff was great, just cruddy wifi.

This basic hotel was very clean. The staff was friendly and helpful with some local things, though they didn't know much about visiting Calakmul. I suggest hiring a professional guide for that. Beds were clean and comfortable. There was actually real cable TV (via satellite) which was nice to entertain the kids after hours of walking through ruins in 100 degree weather. Also, the AC was adjustable and worked well. There is a restaurant that is very convenient and looked pretty clean. It was outdoors yet covered and quite nice. Food quality was passable in a pinch, but meat and chicken were tough. Breakfast eggs and fruit were okay. Overall, the hotel was a good value and one of the best hotels in Xjumpil.

No electricity for hours, no hot water during the hole stay sometimes for hours no water at all. Toilet only sometimes working, very loud and noisy due to the building and other guests, no possibility to wash clothes. All in all no thanks and totally overpriced

Nevermind the wifi (keeps shutting off)

Nice calm area,far from the stores and restaurants. There's a restaurant on site. I ordered 2 hamburgers and two cokes and they said they didn't have change for a 500 so I ordered two bacon hot dogs as well. I asked them if it'll be ready in about 15-20 minutes,the time it usually takes me to shower. They said 30, no problem. I come out of my room 30 minutes later and they haven't even started cooking my order. 45 minutes pass an no food, it wasn't til the hour or so that my food came out. And the burgers were cold. Long story short avoid the hotel restaurant 1 out of 5 star

El hotel esta super limpio y excelente ubicacion para poder visitar todas las piramides que estan alrededor, nos encantaron las de Becan. El restaurante esta buenisimo, la atencion de Citlali la mejor!! es una persona divina!. Lo unico es que tienen unos gallos alrededor en el pueblo que son muy madrugadores. Pero por otro lado ayuda a que se levante uno temprano .

Hôtel agréable, étape sur la route des ruines de Calakmul ou en chemin entre la côte caraïbe et celle du golfe du Mexique. Personnel sympathique, nous a remis la chambre dès notre arrivée à 12:30 (au lieu des 15:00 requis). L’environnement de l’hôtel est assez bruyant entre musique du restaurant voisin et les chiens et coqs environnants. Un petit déjeuner peu être pris sur place avec supplément.
