to get started.

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

Nature! Cute swimmingpool with a small waterfall. Very nice location.

Anna

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

United States of America

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

Colombia

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.

Pay more for a room with a bathroom. If you find yourself needing a bathroom frequently at night, the walk to the shared bathroom is too far for comfort.

The stuffs, even Jessica, were very helpful and friendly. The location is perfect for visiting the Maya Ruines of Palenque, a walk in the jungle or just relaxing at the pool. It was a perfect stay and i would choose it again.

“Right next to jungle”

*There is a kitchen but you have to eat the food there, or pay 15 pesos to consume it elsewhere. There is a thin raised bar table you can eat on. There was no oil or butter etc to cook with. *rooms 6, 7 and 8 are right next to the pool filter which they switched on 7-8 am (goodbye lie-in). I did raise this issue with the staff and they were good about it. * noisy group of Young people arrived at 3 am And made lots of noise until 4 am - I was not amused
2-3 min drive from the entrance to the jungle. 10 min colectivo ride from the centre. The pool is small but just what you need to cool off. Loved the hammocks. The staff were really sweet.

The curtains are totally see through when light is on.
Fantastic staff, extremely efficient and very helpful and friendly, always a smile and willing to help you. Breakfast was very nice with good helpings. We asked for our breakfast to be ready at 7am as we had a bus to catch and they did it no problem 😁 Location is great, 2km from ruins, colectivos stop right outside the gate.

Walking distance to the ruins. Town centre is a short drive away via collectivo or taxi, pool lovely for cooling down and plenty of hamocks and sun loungers. Cabanas clean and with fan, shared bathrooms very clean and plenty of showers and toilets. Shared kitchen fine, no grill or toaster but perfect for cooking basic food.

Really nice cabañas right in the jungle, very good starting point to visit the Palenque ruins. Awesome swimming pool. Cute Agoetis walking around. We really liked it and booked an extra night. Also recommending to visit the animal rescue center: Aluxes ecopark , you can walk to there on a paved path.

Animals might wake you at night, but that's to be expected in the jungle.
Amazing location in the jungle. We saw howler monkeys near our cabanas. Nice pool area. Great food in the restaurant. Friendly staf. The ruins are just 5 min ride away. Just amazing stay.

The accomodation looks better on the pictures. Our room was very simple. I booked it because on the picture I could see that there is mosquito net. ( I am scared of big spiders). Unfortunatelly the installation is not good, so any animal can come in the room so my night was a bit stressfull :)
In the garden of the accomodation you feel like you are in the jungle. In the evening you can hear the monkeys howling which is quite a unique experience. The restaurant is cheap and they make very nice food. You can park the car in the garden. We had hot water to shower. Palenque is easly accessable from this property.
