    The restaurant was ok, bit expensive and there wasn't much of a social feel with the other guests and the bar/restaurant. It was a little bit far from shops.but you can get a shuttle bus, but it finish pretty early.

    It was in a beautiful location - if you want to go to the ruins and national park, it's in a perfect location. The pool is lovely and a great place to chill and relax. The staff were very helpful and constantly working to improve the look and cleanliness of the place.

    This place was amazing and I plan on coming back here with friends. It was so comfortable and let you relax after a day of exploring. Extremely cute stay.

    Food wasn't worth the money, weird encounter with a receptionist who told us we couldn't pay with VISA while Booking.com told us otherwise. He would keep my passport until we made the payment in cash. Luckily there was another receptionist in the morning and paying with VISA was possible.

    Our room was without AC- if you can afford it It might be worth the upgrade!

    Perfect jungle stay for a great price! We loved it. Staff were super helpful, pool was nice and it was easy to get the collectivo everywhere. The place to buy tickets for palenque is right opposite so super easy to get to. It also had a shared kitchen which we didn’t realise, and drinking water there, which was great.

    Really nice location in the jungle and close to the ruins. There’s also a nice bar restaurant across the street. One morning I woke up and saw howler monkeys in the trees from the front of my room

    I had food at the restaurant on my first day, I had tacos with vegetables and it was horrible. I had to send it back and go to the restaurant opposite the resort. I advise to go there prepared with fruit and snacks.

    I’ve enjoyed the staying a lot. Being in the jungle was a breath of fresh air. The bed in the private cabana super comfortable and clean. Everything was just right for the environment. The stuff super nice and helpful, and I loved that, once I checked out, I could leave my stuff in the lock and still enjoy a relaxing day by the pool in the hammock. I would definitely come back.

    how the beer at the restaurant was 60 pesos but sold for 40 pesos at the entrance. the walking distance is about 20 meters between both areas so we said the price increases 1 pesos per meter 😒 on a serious note, the restaurant just outside called Don muchos by panchan is a far better option to eat, with that same beer around 40 pesos plus they usually have live music, I'd recommend going there instead to eat.. My room itself was OK, no AC but the fans were ok, a bit small and crampy. the "fruit" houses at the back were a strange layout but for 1 or 2 nights it's ok. Also, there was a massive scorpion 🦂 in my room, but security came and killed it thankfully.

    being in the middle of the jungle, but still having the resort feel with nice hammocks and the pool (even though the water was too hot) to relax

    Everything was good, maybe the animals sounds could be a bit annoying in the morning but for us it was not a problem because we left very early

    To be immersed in the nature was great and also the perfect location after visiting palenque ruins. Moreover the restaurant is pretty good

    Fantastic, peaceful location where guests can unwind and enjoy the sounds of nature and even spot mammals and birds from the property. The grounds are spacious with plenty of areas to explore. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the pool area with the hammocks is very inviting. The staff work hard to deliver a great customer service and are always friendly.

    The dorm cabins are tiny. I imagine when they're full, it can be hard to fit all the luggage. Plugs aren't at the bed, but in the lockers. A hook for the towel next to the sinks would be nice. Minor issues, though.

    Special place in the jungle! Very big with several cabins, a pool, hammocks, a place to wash and hang your clothes (washing powder 10 pesos). Clean bathrooms, comfortable beds, big locker. The dorm cabins get very hot during the day, but are surprisingly pleasant at night. When you check in, you get s small bottle of water for free. The restaurant on the opposite side of the road is good.

    Activities proposed just outside of the hotel are pricey and the guided tour of the « Forest » was not worth it at all. Also, the restaurant is quite pricey for what it is.

    Great surrounding! Wild animals nearby, nice jungle sounds, pool is great, hamacs are priceless

    The restaurant is terrible, don't go there. However, there's another restaurant across the street that is better. If you want AC you have to pay 200 pesos extra, though there's a fan which was enough for us

    Great place to cool off and relax after or before a visit to the Palenque visit. We stayed at the pool all day and really enjoyed it. Enough places to relax.

    Amazing hostel to relax before/after your visit to the ruins. The facilities are amazing. The dorm only has one fan (the one on the ceiling). It was not super hot at night but during the day impossible to stay in the room. You can still chill by the pool! Only smoking area is in the camping zone - be aware of ants! They bit me brutally 😅 but, I saw monkeys, birds, butterflies, a very friendly iguana etc.

    Pros: Great pool, lots of wildlife to observe, very close to the ruins and National park Cons: If you are cooking your own food, the fridge is very full so you cannot fit much. The kitchen is small and simple. It’s still do-able but just be aware.

    Restaurant was quite expensive with a limited menu to cater for guests however there was a larger place across the road which had a large menu and cheap beers

    Nice jungle experience right outside the main entrance to the ruins. 25 peso shuttle to the ruins, 15 minute walk back. As an aside thought Calakmul was much better than Palenque and more like the impressive Tikal.
