The hotel is affordable. It's great that they have a restaurant which is open all day from breakfast till dinner. The restaurant staff was helpful, they also warmed a bottle of milk for our daughter before bedtime.
Of course we came to visit Calakmul, which is still >1 hour away, but there's just not many options to stay somewhere closer.

Wonderful place in the "jungle". We stayed here for two nights to arrange the Calakmul visit and we are very happy with our decision. Everything was nice: a big bed, kitchenette, cleanliness in the bungalow, jungle surroundings. Thanks to the host.

We loved our stay at Cabañas Aldea! The smaller cabin was already taken during the dates we wanted to book so we ended up booking the larger two bedroom cabin and we loved it! We felt so cozy and comfortable there. It was so quiet and a perfect place to rest after our days exploring Calakmul and the surrounding ruins. I highly recommend it as a place to stay when visiting this region!

We had such a great stay at Ecohabitat in Xpujil! Our favourite stop yet on our Mexican road trip. Breakfast was awesome and is included! We got the choice of quesadilla or eggs and everything comes with fruit and toast and coffee or tea. Always served on time and delicious. Room was very clean and tidy and staff were friendly and helpful. Big shoutout to Jorge who was our lovely receptionist, maintenance man, cleaner, and server. He was kind enough to unlock our room at 9:30pm after I accidentally locked us out. Hotel is along a major trucking route, but the hotel makes this very clear and it wasn’t a surprise. Pretty much everywhere along this route has been affected by the Tren Maya construction. Noise was covered up by A/C which was awesome. Private parking is a great bonus. Such a cute place and great access to Calakmul. We also loved the covered patio and spent evening out there listening to the crickets.
Located in Xpujil, Eco Aldea kinich Ahau provides accommodations with free WiFi and a garden with a terrace and mountain views.

The cabin was spacious, practical, and fun. The water pressure was good in the shower, coffee pot worked well, and the bed was comfy. The trail through the jungle is awesome- I saw three spider monkeys and lots of birds and lizards. Really beautiful and well done. It seems like this place is expanding and being made with care.

The staff were very kind and helpful. Breakfast in the morning is in a comfotlrtable palapa in an intimate setting, and was excellent. There is an undiscovered Mayan mound from the Becan Archaeological Site in the garden just south of the palapa.
It is well placed for some fascinating archaeology.
It is well placed for some fascinating archaeology.
But you need to be up for a "half horse" town.
To get to a basic restaurant we walked through the middle of roadworks.
Most roads giving access to the hotel were closed for road works and of course there are no diversions..you just work it out!
But the archaeology is fabulous though to get to Calakmul was a 3 hour drive each way .

Beautiful site right off the road.
Beautiful site right off the road. Walk to the Mirador Maya Hotel. The grounds are beautifully maintained, and as of September, 2023, you can climb everything. There's no pyramid, but the main structure is very tall and impressive. Bring bug spray. The mosquitoes are pretty intense.

Xpujil itself is not worth visiting.
Xpujil itself is not worth visiting. It is a good town to stay if you are travelling trough the area (for example when visiting Calakmul) and need a place to sleep. There is a small supermarket and a nice pizza restaurant. Be aware that there are only two banks and their ATM's at the time of our visit both of them did not have any money in them for two days.

Xpujil is located more or less at the center of the Calakmul...
Xpujil is located more or less at the center of the Calakmul municipality (which is large). Although this little town is not particularly oriented towards tourism, it is the best location to stay connected & have all services within easy reach so you can move between main sites and attractions around the Calakmul area.
Near Xpujil you will find from four to six striking archaeological sites and all of them are worth the visit. Of course, the most impressive one is Calakmul but there is plenty to do beyond that outstanding stop. For instance, you can ask a cab to take you to "Ejido 20 de Noviembre" and visit plenty of craft workshops (wood carving, embroidery by hand and by machine among others). I really enjoyed my visit to Hilos de Vida, Amanecer de Rio Bec & Artesanos Sabios since they give you a nice explanation on their crafts and sometimes they even offer a class for you to take (they also can get you a guide if you need translation aid).
Whether you are traveling with family, couple or by yourself, I really recommend to book no less than two nights in Casa Ka'an (about 8 to 10 minutes by car near Xpujil), 'cause they have everything you expect and a little bit more in a really cute jungle lodge composed by very independent villas which happen to be surrounded by the most wonderful environment. Needless to say that a chat with the manager (Nicolás) is always enlightening so if you catch him ask for his views on the area.
Last but no least... you will boost your experience in the region if you move around in a 4WD or even better in your own bike.

Not a lot of options for housing around the Calakmul...
Not a lot of options for housing around the Calakmul Biosphere. None are really close and you need a vehicle to get to the main part of the park. Xpujil, is little neighborhood town, not too close to ruins or highway. We enjoyed walking around town and looking at birds and the old frame houses.

Our only reason for staying in Xpujil was to visit Calakmul.
Our only reason for staying in Xpujil was to visit Calakmul. But as it turns out, it is not the closest lodging to go to the ruins. Conhuas is nearer and has a few hotels that would have worked better for our itinerary, since we were going west. The town of Xpujil has very little of interest and the meal we had was one of the least successful of our trip. We ate dinner at Sazon Veracruzana, sitting right on the dusty noisy main road (186) that runs through the town. It had the more favorable reviews in LP. Calakmul was a great experience though!
The room was very comfortable, had a kitchenette and patio with hammocks, good wifi. I highly recommend a trip to see the Volcan de los Murcielagos. About 25 minutes west every evening at around 6PM, a highlight of my Mexico trip this time. Guide was 75 pesos, about $4 US! The drive to Calakmul was very long, 1.5 to 2 hours each way from Xpujil. Calakmul is impressive but barely worth the drive. The highlights were spider monkeys and an ocelated turkey.
Moises was very kind and helpful, and always ready to assist via text. The insect sounds at night are beautiful. Everything was exceptionally clean and professional in the details. Nice big property with lots of trees. Appreciated the fruit, snacks and drinks. The air plants on the property were beautiful. We slept very well. It was such a nice place to come back to relax in after long days spent exploring ruins.
The hotel is affordable. It's great that they have a restaurant which is open all day from breakfast till dinner. The restaurant staff was helpful, they also warmed a bottle of milk for our daughter before bedtime.
Of course we came to visit Calakmul, which is still >1 hour away, but there's just not many options to stay somewhere closer.
We expected the worst hearing about xpujil that it could be dangerous and is just a town to drive through. We were pleasently surprised about this hotel. Rooms are cheap, big and the owner is super friendly and hard working on its hotel. He is making the most out of the deserted location of Xpujil. And we liked the hot shower
An excellent place to stop near Xpujil. Very little options in this area and these chalets in the natural enviroment were excellent. We stayed her for two separate nights when touring from the north of Yucatan to the South and Back.
Nice little restaurant and bar on site. All in all a very pleasant surprise.
The owner is an exceptionally nice lady, genuinely willing to help. Breakfast was just when and what we have asked for. The house (bungalow) is not for people that are looking for major chain hotels, but it is just fine for overnight stay in really small rural location in peninsula of Yucatan.
the owner oscar was very communicative, responsive, friendly and helpful with arranging our trip to calakmul ruins. the room is basic and passable for a couple of nights. the restaurant attached to the hostel has good pizza. the location was very close to the ado bus station.
Having a whole house for that price is just insane. The house is super charming and comfortable. We thought we needed airconditioning but it gets almost chilly at night so this was perfect. Waking up in nature is great too. We couldn't have asked for a better stay in Xpujil.
Absolutely amazing stay in this family run hotel in the center of Valladolid! The hotel was great, awesome pool, lovely clean rooms with aircon! The host was so helpful and gave us loads of tips and restaurant suggestions! Breakfasts were also a lovely touch! Highly recommend!
Simple hotel with everything you need (internet, toilet, perfect warm water etc.). I arrived late in the evening and the person at the reception helped me out to organize a last-minute visit to Calakmul ruins. So staff very helpful and friendly.
The communication with the hotel owner was great and very supportive. Helped me get the cheapest way around getting the bat cave. jungle and pyramids tour. The place is also a pizza restaurant at the front with great prices.
Nice little hotel with friendly staff, great for a short stopover before a visit to Calakmul. The hammocks and pool were a great place to relax and cool off. There is also free parking.
Lovely hotel in the jungle. We had everything we needed. The room was spacious, comfortable and even had a kitchenette. The staff was friendly. I recommend this hotel.
