10/10 Exceptional

This is a jewel in the jungle. Not perfect but really great & we highly recommend. The rooms are clean, safe & secure. There’s a restaurant on site where we ate all our meals. They’ll provide a boxed lunch for days out.

Okay place to stay in the area.
It was a good enough place to stay two nigts for the activities we did around the area.

2/10 Poor

The Rooster Motel from hell
I wanted to like this hotel however, it lacks any creature comforts and is very poorly managed. The WiFi doesn't work, the restaurant food is inedible and the shower is best described as a dribble! If that wasn't bad enough, a neighbouring rooster routinely wakes everyone at 3.30am. If you value your sanity I strongly recommend booking alternative accommodation.

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.

As always a great place to stay for the area. Just wish they'd update/improve the wifi, it's pretty much useless.

The lady at front desk told me kitchen open at 5:30 am. But did not open til 7:00am. We had a tour book at 7:00am for Calacmul. No breakfest.....
Normand, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Jesse, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Paul, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
Jorge, 1-night trip

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.

4/10 Fair

No water in the morning. Mattress was uncomfortable. Holes in towels. Very basic set up.
Daniel, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

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

A clean, quiet room for a very fair price. Helpful staff provided us with an excellent guide to the Calakmul ruins and the bat cave.
