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.

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.

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.

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

The hotel is okay. There are better options but they were all booked. It was still good. Parking is limited, about 6-7 cars fit, unless they have a bigger parking I didn’t see. Breakfast is okay. It is close to the main road, which leads to Xpujil centro, and also close to Becan, Xpuhil and Chicanna sites, and about 1-2 hour drive from Calakmul site main entrance. We had a nice stay here except for one thing: there was no hot water. Hot water only lasted about 1 minute and then there was nothing, no water at all, unless you use freezing water. I contacted the staff and they say to give it some time and it will come out. It never came out and we had to take showers with cold water! They need to fix this. Other than that, it is a good stay if you want to see the ruins nearby.

Cute hotel with some nice touches. The room design was a little awkward with a wardrobe in a blind corner that was hard to access. Bathroom doorway lacked clearance for anyone over 6'1''. Neighbourhood roosters crowed most of the night and sheep added their music in the late afternoon. Being a farmboy, I enjoyed the sounds but others may not. Secure parking onsite. Good value for money. I would like to return.

Comfortable little hotel
This is a modest little hotel with all amenities needed for a comfortable short stay. The AC is COLD (yay!) and the rooms are clean. There is also a palapa in the property that serves breakfast starting at 7am if I remember correctly.

Room was updated w improvements. It was quiet & away from the busy street. Nice flat screen TV. Only there was a smell of sewer, not always hot water, no free coffee & no one spoke English. Therefore it was difficult to decider breakfast time, area sightseeing or restaurant recommendations.
