It's such a great place to get away, enjoy a walk around the grounds filled with tropical flowers and trees, enjoy the pool after a hot humid day and ultimately just relax. We stayed in a suite with a view of the Observatory and enjoyed the sound of birds throughout the day, especially in the morning. They have three swimming pools and their own private entrance into the Mayan ruins. Entrance to the ruins is $14.00 USD per person a private tour to the ruins is an additional $50.00 USD total (which we did). The staff are all Mayans and were very friendly. A quick shout out to Christina in the gift shop, Danny who works at the pizza joint outside and Velario one of the bartenders. We had such a great time we're going back next year.

My boyfriend and I stayed at Hotel Chichen Itza for two nights. We had originally booked Stardust…read moreInn for $22 a night. Upon arriving at Stardust Inn we did not feel safe at all. Not only was it abandoned but the mattresses were filthy and the windows could not lock. We looked up the hotel down the street which happened to be Hotel Chichen Itza for $40 a night. It was well worth it. I highly recommend anyone thinking about staying at Stardust Inn to spend the extra $18 and stay at Hotel Chichen Itza instead. The main lobby is open and under a huge bungalow type roof. The front lobby is essentially outside. There is a fountain with a mariachi band made of metal standing in front of the fountain. An old carriage decorates a corner of the bungalow lobby. Plants climb up and down the walls. We even saw a kitten that wandered around the grounds. It was a huge relief seeing such a quaint hotel after looking at Stardust Inn. Not only did Hotel Chichen Itza have free wifi but it also had hot water and a friendly staff. We had no problem checking in after booking the reservation on my cell phone. The backyard was like a hidden oasis in Piste. It had a nice pool with lounge chairs and tables. The pool area was clean and next to the hotel's restaurant which had delicious food. Plants and flowers made the grounds look lush. The service was good and our waiters were very friendly with suggestions on local cuisine. My boyfriend and I both ate the Yucatan specials. They were savory and the meal was cheap! The location of the hotel was good. It was about a five-minute drive to Chichen-Itza and located in Piste so we could walk around the town and look at souvenirs. One thing to note about this area though is the number of bugs and insects you will see. There is a lot of plant life and the area has a jungle-like feel. There are insects everywhere including the restaurant in the hotel. The room was comfortable and cool. The A.C worked wonderfully. The room was large and the bed was soft. We had a room on the second floor facing the street. There was more noise due to being next to the street but we didn't mind. The water pressure in the bathroom was good and the hot water worked fine. We also loved their oatmeal soap. It smelled so good. We even used it for the rest of our trip after leaving Piste. One thing I do want to say about the bathroom is it smells terrible. It smells like jungle mixed with sewage, but hey, for $40 a night in a prime location with a good restaurant, and a comfortable bed, we didn't mind. The wifi is also spotty but will work if there are not a lot of guests in the hotel. We essentially only needed a safe and comfortable place to sleep and rest and that's exactly what we got at Hotel Chichen Itza. Overall it was a positive experience and I would stay here again.

There is nothing to dislike about this hotel. The hotel is very clean and well kept. The staff is very attentive and hospitable.

Hotel rates are best if booked directly through their website versus a third party website.

If you want to beat the crowd to see the pyramid, but not willing to pay exorbitant price of Mayaland, this is the place for you. The hotel itself is very clean & homey. The room is smallish - it has a cute layout & we love the bed nook, but there is no space to put your suitcase. AC unit works fine though a bit noisy. Infant crib is very uncomfortable. Restaurant at the hotel is decent. Wifi only works in the lobby. What I love the most about this place - it is very quiet here at night, save for the crickets and cicadas, but once the day breaks.. the whole place suddenly comes alive with birds chirping right outside your window. That's a pretty great alarm clock if you ask me.

Negatives - When we arrived, they charged us an extra $10 per night for a second guest, and then put us in a room with 2 queen beds versus a king as requested. I'm not sure if they thought we weren't a couple or if they didn't have our originally requested room ready. We probably should have inquired about this more. - In our room, the two beds didn't fit the space. You could barely squeeze by one in the doorway, and the other blocked the door to get to the balcony. - We were in room 19 on the second floor and at the end, so we had no wifi in our room at all. - No filtered water in a dispenser was available in the lobby. I might stay again, but I'd definitely compare other similarly priced area hotels.

Located about a 10-minute walk south of the main square, this hotel is unassuming on the outside, but stunning when you walk in. The hallways are wide and airy, with lovely decor and details to make you feel calm and relaxed from the first moment. We booked a deluxe king room for 3 nights. Our room was a corner room on the second floor overlooking the pool. The room is spacious with a comfortable bed, a hammock (yes, a hammock in your room!), a large dresser and another cabinet for more surface area and storage, and a large and lovely bathroom. There is no bathtub, but the shower is amazing. The bathroom is partially "open air" with a rain shower head. Showering was quite a unique experience. Breakfast is included with your stay and it's awesome. There is self serve coffee, tea, and juices, and bread and fruit. You can choose an entree (choices are omelette, pancakes, waffle, huevos rancheros). The special is definitely a must try. It's served with warm tortillas, beans, and salsa. The hotel offers a few unique experiences. The one we took a part of was the Ek Balam guided tour and half day at a private cenote (YES!!! A *private* cenote to yourselves!). There is also a day trip to Rio Lagartos (nature reserve, pink sand beaches, and flamingos!), a cooking class, and a mixology class. The Ek Balam and cenote Chenxunan trip must be reserved in advance and it's only one group per day. The day trip includes transportation, cold water and soft drinks, a delicious multi-course meal at the cenote, and of course an entire cenote for you to enjoy for 3-4 hours! Our guide for Ek Balam, Juan, was a wonderful and knowledgeable gentleman who told us stories and details that really enriched our exploration of the ancient ruins. Ek Balam is not as popular as the nearby Chichen Itza but definitely worth a visit. The pyramid is climbable and features a very interesting excavated tomb with wonderfully preserved carvings. Cenote Chenxunan was absolutely gorgeous. The cenote is privately owned an they take great care to preserve the land. A lot of the popular cenotes in the area get hundreds and thousands of visitors a day. But this cenote gets up to 12-15 visitors a day. We saw the local flora and fauna thriving in this preserved area. The swim in the cenote was absolutely delightful and revitalizing. It's fairly large with a cave and many stalactites. We even saw a couple of owls and heard some bats! Our stay at Hotel Posada San Juan was amazing and if we're back in Valladolid, I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. All the staff were wonderful.

Tucked in off the street, you would have no idea the gorgeous grounds and cabanas were back there. There is art created by local artists everywhere and swimming in the naturally heated cenote under the hotel can't be missed. The staff were amazing, welcoming and friendly-one even took the time to give me some Mayan language lessons (it is spoken extensively in this part of the Yucatan). But hands down my favorite part was their in house tequila! I kid you not, the smoothest, best tequila I have ever had! They give you a free shot when you arrive and sell it for $11(!) a bottle. We went home last year with 4 bottles, and even made a day trip there just last week to get more. The only down side is that you cannot walk to the main square from Zentik, but even with that, I don't imagine we will stay anywhere else on a trip to Vallodalid.

The grounds are of a lush manicured jungle with foot paths numerous fruit trees, bamboo and palms. There was a beautiful natural pool which was lovely, empty and cold. The sleeping accommodations vary from bamboo huts to our free standing, family suite which was labelled as the Safari Room. It was a clean, spacious unit offering 4 full size beds, tile floors, a hot shower, a quaint porch and even mosquito nets although they were not needed. Breakfast was included which was a fresh fruit plate with a souffle cup of yogurt, a strong cup of coffee, followed by fresh toasted bread with marmalade and then the main course of your choice. Either scrambled eggs with or without ham, a Mexican scramble or hot cakes. Dinner was available which offered steak, poc chuc (pork loin marinated), pollo pibil (chicken breast marinated in sour orange and mayan spices), pasta, fish entrees and some standard Mexican fare. The Pollo Pibil was excellent and the moistest chicken breast I may have ever eaten. The marinated chicken was cooked while wrapped in banana leaves. It was the winner of the night for my family's "best entree ordered" contest. Sure, I could complain about the occasional dog barking in the distance or the hot water heater that needed relighting. But, I am sure that even heaven may have a few flaws outside its gates.
