"Do NOT follow Google Maps directions to this hotel if you are driving on Highway #261. Coming from Merida/Muna direction, you will find the new road/driveway to the hotel on the right, just before the Uxmal site/Hotel Hacienda Uxmal Plantation. There is a new sign noting "Hotel"
This new hotel is fantastic!
It starts with the drive in, through the jungle, on the new road/bike path. Watch for animals on the road. We saw many deer, iguanas and a coati.
We were greeted at the front door and ushered in to check-in which was quick and pleasant
The hotel is beautifully appointed. Our room (jr suite) was huge with two full bathrooms, comfortable king bed, kitchenette and large balcony. Air conditioner was quiet and worked well. Plenty of bottled water provided. Lots of hot water and good water pressure.
The pool area is lovely and will be incredible once all the trees etc reach maturity.
Drinks and dining were adequate. It was the low season and though we did not experience any shortage, it seemed the food may have been reheated rather than prepared fresh. We brought our own food for breakfasts
All staff were very friendly and engaging. Many staff carry tablets with translating apps to overcome any language barriers.
We would recommend this hotel to those with their own transportation. The hotel provides free shuttle to/from the Calkini Maya train station and the Uxmal archaeological site. We did not see a single taxi at the hotel during our 3 night stay. Wld stay again"
"Todo muy bonito estancia placentera, lo malo es que hay muchos mosquitos. Muy Bonita la hacienda, te recomiendo el hospedaje en la habitación el capataz. Donde me quede.👌"
"The uxmal ruins were way better than the Chichén Itzá. The staff were very good. The best part was seeing the ruins from our window. We had room 321 and got to see the sunrise over the ruins. Absolutely beautiful!!! Would come again!"
"The location was perfect, very close to the beach and the city center. The staff was very nice, they even accommodated an early check-in for without additional cost."
"Here’s a polished version that still feels honest and helpful:
This is a family-run hotel with the owners living downstairs and the guest rooms located upstairs with private outdoor stairways and entrances. The family was very kind and accommodating throughout our stay, and they even allowed us to park in their carport, which was greatly appreciated.
The room itself was clean and simple with the bare essentials. There is no TV, but the room does have air conditioning. It took quite a while for the room to cool down, so I would recommend turning the A/C on before heading out for the day so it is comfortable when you return.
One of the best features of the property is the outdoor space. There are a couple of tables on the upstairs deck where you can sit and enjoy the ocean view. You can also walk directly onto the beach through the back gate, and they have a palapa on the beach with a table and chairs that are perfect for relaxing or enjoying a meal by the water.
Overall, this is a budget-friendly stay in a great beachfront location with very friendly hosts.

"Great breakfast to start the day. Jose is a great server and made the best limon margaritas we had on the trip. Restaurant menu was excellent balance of food we knew and with a Mayan twist. Owner Amy Jo was welcoming and on site to offer suggestions and support for the area.
Thank you"
"Perfect and beautiful view of sunset, right on the water, ocean view, clean and comfy stay, massage was great, only thing is the parking is not on the property and is out on the open. But a place to surely stay and experience quite and peaceful moment."
