The place is beautiful. In the nights you can hear the monkeys. The pool is very good. Really close to the archaeological site m, you can walk from there. Pretty recommendable

Location right outside the historic site and close to some restaurants

Lucia

Everything! The staff is amazing first of all. The place is in the middle of the jungle. You have a pool!! they provide you with towels (to shower and another for the pool). The room is a cozy Cabaña with view to a lovely river. There are lockers and inside each locker a charger! You can literally walk to the piramids (better to take a colectivo tho). This place is really wonderful.

This is an excellent "backpacker resort." The pool is beautiful and there's plenty of chairs/hammocks for relaxing. The grounds are well maintained and you can hear wildlife around (birds, monkeys, etc.). The staff are super friendly (even the cleaning crew wished me good morning) and bilingual at the front desk. They also let me store my bag and take a shower the day I checked out. You can walk to the ruins in 2-3 kilometers.

We had one of the air conditioned rooms (in June), and it was so appreciated. The hotel is literally steps from the entrance to the park, which made visiting Palenque very easy. The food in the hotel restaurant was excellent.

Susan

I liked the pool and that it was super close to the ruins. The sounds of the jungle at night are amazing.

William

United States of America

Nice, quiet, pool, shared kitchen, comfortable beds (we were in a shared dorm), 30 minutes walk to the ruins main entrance. Next to the main road, but still you’re in the jungle!

Hubert

The location is amazing. The cabañas are located right next to the entrance to the park and on the next side of the road of "El Panchán" a very nice place to hang out after a long day exploring. The staff is welcoming and friendly, they didn't have any problem preparing me a special meal due to the fact that I was feeling ill. The cabañas are just the right size and super comfy. I really enjoyed the common area with the pool and the deck outside my room. If back to Palenque I would stay there again for sure.

From the front desk to the restaurant to the internet nothing worked. Ordering a coffee or a taxi seemed to be the most difficult thing in the world. You have to pay for water. Our bill never added up. The staff had no idea what they were doing. Everything from the restaurant cake wrong and the internet didn’t work. An absolute joke. Pool was first and much smaller than it looks in the pics.

There is a restaurant across the street and they believe in loud music. So if you are a light sleeper like me, make sure NOT to get cabanas 1 or 2, since you will be bearing the full brunt of their eclectic music taste, especially on the weekend. I do understand that with a restaurant on site (not the loud one, theirs also closes at 10 pm), you dont want to encourage people to cook all their meals themselves. So the kitchen for guests is very small and doesnt have many utensils. AND: If you dont eat your meals in that said very small kitchen, a sign warns you that you will be charged 15 Pesos eating your own cooked meal anywhere on the property that is NOT the kitchen. I thought that was really not cool. At times the kitchen was so full, there was hardly any room for everyone cooking and eating. And they only have one fridge which is definitely not enough for the number of guests that can stay at the property. Going back to sleeping light: I was woken every single night by the security staff walking past the cabanas at 5.30 am chatting. Not cool either.
Very good location, just a quick collectivo ride from Palenque town and to the ruins. Lovely property with a nice pool, hammocks, a lush rainforest, peacocks and the sound of the howler monkeys. Very relaxed. Comfy bed, showers and toilets were clean, although the soap dispensers need a top up, they were always out of soap in the shower.

Noisey techno music in the restaraunt which is close to the cabins but does stop at 10pm but is not nice when you want to eat when you are there trying to enjoy the nature sounds of the forest. Live bands play loudly across the Street in the evenings at El Pachan cabanas until 1am. Cabanas are open with mosquito screens so you also hear all the noise from other guests. Expensive restaraunt even with the discount they give you.
Very nice, kind staff and great efficient Manager who dealt with my complaints very professionally and allowed me to cut my stay short due to noise problems. Beautiful jungle surroundings and close to the ruins.

“Nice place to discover Palenque!”
- • Leisure trip

See above considering the swimming pool.
Cabañas Kin Balam is an excellent choice as a place to stay to visit the Palenque site. Both the rooms with private bathroom and those with common bathroom are nice and well maintained. The sanitary block offers clean toilets and showers. These are already cleaned at 6 o'clock in the morning. Of course you are surrounded by nature and it is inevitable that you encounter insects, spiders and other animals. Moreover, the roar of the Mono Congo is just part of it. At the reception you get all the information you want and from there you can either reach the site by taxi or on foot ... a tough walk! Don't we forget the advantage of a swimming pool, although not large and not really clean this time ?! Good dinner and good breakfast in the restaurant!

- the photos online for private room w/ shared bathroom were/are misleading: the individual cabanas are either dorms or just two of those private rooms. the rest of private rooms are in stone/concrete-units, which is another product so-to-say. I wouldnt have booked if Id knew that Id end up in the non-wooden units. Luckily, I got to switch into what I initially booked for.
+ well-maintained, very clean + helpfull and friendly staff, 24h + on the jungle side of Palenque + close to the ruins and el panchan + tour operator just next door

The room (cabana) was a bit cramped. There was no desk or table in it suitable for typing. The night lighting of the paths etc, was rather dim,
It has a good location by the entrance to the National Park, and on the collectivo route between Palenque centro and the Ruinas. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the hot shower was good and hot. Also Don Muchos restaurant and El Panchan are close by.
