    Everything was really great! The garden is really beautiful, full of hummingbirds. Abel the owner and Elena, his daughter, took really good care of us, gave good recommendations and organized our visit to Yaxchilan and Bonampak, with an excellent dériver and guide. They also organized our transfer to and from the airports.

    I wouldn't recommend it if you're driving a small car... the last 500 m are quite bad. Even if it was not raining, our car got stuck in the mud one day and needed help to tow it. It's probably better if you drive an SUV, AWD, etc.

    Wonderful little hotel with a super helpful and nice staff

    The accommodation and the family who look after it are a golden find. The houses are in the middle of the jungle, you are immersed in nature and everything in the hotel is designed to be in harmony with the environment - even the food is home-grown and was some of the best we had on our trip. The warmth of the staff also deserves special recognition. We had a few transportation problems and they helped us immediately and with all available resources. The houses are superbly equipped, very, very clean and even with several guests it feels as if you are on your own. You can easily get to the Palenque ruins with the hotel's own transport at any time and be picked up again, it takes about 15 minutes. We had no car during our stay, so you can access the hotel also via Taxi. All in all, a really great stay (10/10) that we would definitely recommend to anyone.

    No negatives but bear in mind you are not that close to any shops.

    Amazing location surrounded by trees with seclusion from the hustle and bustle of life. A great chance to observe wildlife and lovely welcoming staff that where incredibly helpful. We saw humming birds outside our room, saw howler monkeys and watched the parrots fly over to roost at night.

    We wished we stayed longer!

    Beautiful hotel in stunning location in the middle of nature. Nice, modern cabins with private balcony, A/C, and comfortable beds and pillows. Great to go to sleep and wake up with the sounds of nature. We saw an array of birds, big iguanas and heard the howler monkeys. We were lucky to be the only guests there. The staff are amazing, very helpful and kind. Breakfast from the restaurant is very good, we also had lunch there one day which was great.

    We had a wonderful stay during our travels in Mexico. The perfect location when planning to visit Palenque right in the middle of the jungle. You can hear the monkeys and the staff is extremely friendly. Peaceful and relaxing with the natural pool. The food was extraordinary, we loved the breakfast lunch dinner and desserts. The road to the hotel is a dirt road, we came by taxi which was perfect. Would not recommend waking with luggage.. they have a taxi to the Palenque sight, laundry service which was excellent and can even organize a private driver to San Cristobal de las Casas. Thanks!!

    Terrible issues with the restrooms. Had to call multiple times the staff for fixing. There kind of thing should just not happen. The dirt road to the location should be better kept.

    Nice and helpful stuff. The location stunning in the middle of the jungle. Very nice food. Interesting pool (not for everyone).

The restaurant has a nice terrace overlooking the jungle and they make tasty fruit drinks. Evening meal was nice too. During our tour we enjoyed relaxing here for a few days.

    Wi-Fi is not stable or fast enough. They should look into getting a Starlink. The road is a bit of a challenge but doable. Just take it easy ;) I would recommend cleaning some of the trash on the road. I would have loved to have a small desk in the room.

    First of all: Palenque did not turn out to be the Pueblo Magico imagined, so we were very glad not to stay in the city. Easy to get to the archeological site without getting into the city. Super friendly reception. The cabin had the AC on, so it was nice and cool inside. Everything was super clean, even the shower head looked like new. The bed was firm and super nice for sleeping. Great attention to detail. The pool was amazing and it was cleaned every day. Having a restaurant on site was also a big plus. While expensive for Mexican prices, the food was good but the servings are small. Breakfast was also good but the servings are small. We like a big breakfast so that we can have a late lunch. Parking on the property, absolutely secure. Overall a great experience and we would come back in a heartbeat.
