Basic hotel for those on a budget!
This is a super basic hotel for those travelling on a budget and visiting nearby Ek balam. Toast and coffee was included in the price which was great. Secure parking inside the hotel grounds. There is no AC but a ceiling fan which was fine for us (we stayed in March) which was on all night (previous reviews incorrectly stated that the electric switches off at 9:30pm which was not our experience). Shower was decent with hot water, clean bedding. Rooms were a little outdated but for the price it’s a bargain. I did not however rate the dinner we ate. The staff were lovely - very friendly.

A True Gem out of the way!
What a deal. A true Mexico Maya experience. Simple, clean hotel in a tiny Maya Mexican village. Martina and William make the experience delightful. The village is out of the past with friendly locals living in a combination of concrete houses with original palapas blended in. You really get the small village experience. Walk about night or day. The nearby Ruins El Balam are some of the most interesting. More recently renovated starting in 1984. Our guide Juan was on the original crew and really knows the site. Highly recommend him. The hotel was opened by an Italian/Mexican couple. He was a chef and they still use his recipes. The best Italian food I have ever had.

This hotel was a real surprise!
The hotel is about a mile from Ek-Balam. Parts of the experience were excellent, some were interesting. First of all, the name on the hotel is Dolcemente Vacanza. Then, there was no hot water in the bathroom. However, in the owner's defense, we were there off -season, the only guests, and he did not know we were coming, so the hot water heater was probably off. The room was huge and the bed was very comfortable. The food in the restaurant was decent, even though we were the only ones there. They worked with us on the times we wanted to eat.

Ek Balam
If you want a real local experience then this is the perfect hotel. We arrived late in the evening (when it was already dark) but the local family caring for the hotel was waiting for me and opened everything for us. I think we were not only the only ones in the hotel but probably the only non-Mexicans in the small town as well - which was just PERFECT for us!!! We enjoyed the local feel, walking the town and meeting the families weaving hammocks. Room is very large and very comfortable. Would (and will) stay here again when visiting Ek Balam.

Good basic hotel near Ek Balam ruins.
We stayed here one night several weeks back. The name on the hotel / restaurant was not Doulcement, which throws a person off. The hotel is not busy. Matter of fact, we were the only guests there on the night that we stayed there. The owners were not in the country, so the girl from the place across the road dropped over to check me in. She did not have us in the booking sheet she works from. I had a copy of the booking number through Expedia, so she copied the number down and checked me in. She asked when we wanted to eat dinner that night and opened the restaurant for us. The meal was good. We sat around after our meal and had a nice talk with her brother in law. He spoke really good English as he is a guide at the ruins. In the morning, she made me some toast and coffee, which is complimentary with the price of the room.

Interesting hotel in the pueblo of Ek Balam
When we arrived we thought the hotel was abandoned. The outside is neglected but once inside our room it was large, comfortable and clean. We were the only guests so it was quiet. We were able to order a great pasta meal from the caretaker and had cappuccino and toast in the morning before leaving to see Ek Balam. An interesting experience but you would probably be better off staying in Valladolid overnight.

Excellent value considering the location
This Italian-owned facility is evidently fairly new and in good condition but basic. We had a large bedroom with a king-size bed (quite firm but not lumpy), nice tile floors, a working bathroom in good condition, and an overhead fan. The room has an air conditioner but we didn't try it (or, actually, find a controller for it) because it was unseasonably cool (in the 70's) during our visit. Everything was very clean. Because of the remote location, there is no Internet or cell phone service, no TV, etc. -- not necessarily a bad thing. The hotel has potential for improvement, such as putting the fountain in working order, making sure the air conditioning is available when needed, and perhaps providing armoires or hooks to hang clothes in the rooms. As when we visited another, larger property owned by the same people (Las Aguilas, in Xul), we were the only guests. This is a much smaller, less developed site. We understand some of the owners visit on weekends, but not when we were there. The staff, both adults and children, were friendly, charming, and helpful, but they speak Spanish as a second language and no Italian or English. Of the Italian dishes listed on the menu, we tried only a few. Some are pale imitations of the real thing (insalata caprese), others (cannelone) evidently made in advance, presumably at Las Aguilas, and brought in frozen. Breakfasts are good, but don't count on gourmet fare. Prices in the restaurant are high for the area.

Very clean and good value for the price. Breakfast was not included as advertised (so this added another cost) but overall a good budget hotel if you have a car and plan to see Ek Balam and cenotes nearby.

Lovely hotel - just needs better beds and showers
The hotel is quite nice, particularly for the very low price that I paid for it. I was quite happy with most things. The only issues that I experienced were: (1) all of the beds were very hard (others in our group also complained) and (2) the hot water supply for the shower as well as the water pressure in general was rather spotty.

Great place to stay right next to Ek Balam ruins!
This hotel is a little off the beaten path (in a good way) and the owner and her children were extremely friendly and helpful. The location is amazing, with a little courtyard filled with a fountain and jungle plants, along with the occasional wandering duck with ducklings. Be sure to eat at the delicious restaurant as well. The quesadillas I had for breakfast there were the best I had on my trip!

Close to Ek Balam Ruins
It was raining really heavily when we arrived - huge tropical storm - and the whole village had no power. No problem - plenty of candles. Owner a very nice Italian lady who was helpful and who cooked a good meal for dinner. and who gave us some useful advice. However, there is no AC and some people may find the room hot. With windows open and the ceiling fan on, it was fine. Only small problem we encountered was that the hotels.com website specified breakkfast included but the owner denied this - we had to pay for it. Reasonable but not good value overall.

Hidden Gem
Traveling from Tulum to Merida we decided to stop and see the Ek Balam ruins early in the morning. We wanted to stay close to the ruins and found this hotel on your site. The village surrounding the hotel is a very small Mayan pueblo......dogs, pigs and ducks own the road, but the people are very friendly. The hotel is small and well kept. The food at the restaurant was amazingly good both for dinner and breakfast. We would love to come back if the opportunity arises.

Good for visiting Ek Balam
a bit hard to find in the dark, the electricity goes off at 9:30PM hence the room fan goes off and its muggy and close in the room. No coffee or breakfast available the next morning. But, very convenient for Ek Balam entrance, staff is friendly, there was plenty of hot water in the shower. Would suggest most visitors will be happier staying in Vallodolid and visiting Ek Balam during the day, short ride from Vallodolid

A Hidden Treasure
At first I was shocked to find myself in the middle of "nowhere," but then I got used to the remoteness, aided by the fact that the owners are so kind and helpful. In fact, I extended my original two-night stay to four nights. The wife, Francesca, is from Rome so you can depend on her home-made pasta for a delicious dinner. The only reason I downgraded my overall rating is that you need to take into account the remoteness of the hotel (in an authentic Mayan village) and budget for taxis, which can add up to a hefty tariff each day.

I didn't like it
If I could do it again, I would stay in Valladolid and drive up to see the ruins and maybe have lunch at this hotel and a quick view of the pueblo. Maybe if you arrived late and left early, it would be okay. But it wasn't a very pleasant place to spend an entire evening. There is nothing to do and the place felt unprepared for guests.

The only bulding with walls in town (Realy)
We had a hard time finding the hotel, it’s in a very small Mexican town. All the houses are stick and plum tree branches roof. The hotel is very nice but doesn’t have AC in the rooms. The stone back wall did keep the room from being to hot but at 90 outside it’s not too comfortable for us that are use to 50 for high temps. The rooms were clean and showers were hot with good water presser. The person running the hotel didn’t speak English and the restaurant menu was ALL in Spanish with no pictures. The restaurant looked great and the food was good. There were 3 single ladies staying there at the time

Maybe not the best, but OK
The Nina Hotel in Playa del Carmen is an inexpensive (though not least expensive) place to stay near the busy beach zone. Parking, an OK pool and beach towels are provided at the associated Toucan Hotel about 6 blocks away. 2 adjacent restaurants had OK Mexican food, and others were within 5 to 10 minutes walk. Air conditioning (noisy), hotel towels and plumbing might be considered lower quality. Wireless internet and TV were good.

Esta sumamente pero demasiado lejos de valladolid si pretrnden ese hotel para al siguirnte dia comocer valladolid no lo recomiendo, la carretera para llegar a el es sumamente solitaria y si viajan de noche olvidenlo no esta iluminada para nada asi que solo se sumiran en una penumbra que realmente de noche si aterroriza no solo por lo densa que es la oscuridad sino porque uno siente que sigue vajs do y viajsndo y viajando por la carretera atraviesa todo el pueblo de Temozon y terminael pueblo de temozon y el hotel nadamas no aparece y sigue mas y mas carretera por recorrer totalmente solitaria y oscura llega uno a un entronqur donde dice ekbalam (pero se refiere a la zona arqueologica) y hay que doblar a la derecha y uno cree que esta por llegar y dobla y solo te espera otra carretera igual de horrible en la que no se ve ningun final y ningun destino seguro no se ven hoteles ni casas sino puro monte crecido a ambos lados de la carretera y un silencio sepulcral. En verdad no recomiendo este hotel para nada, ni aunque vayan en familia o con amigos mucho menos si van solos o en pareja. Ah! Y el gps no te dice cua to te falta para llegar ni nada solo crees que vas en la direccion "correcta" porque al ingresar la direccion que el hotel da notas como vas avanzando si ves tu gps en la direccion en la que segun se encuentra el hotel pero la verdad es que esta horrible para llegar.

Our worst stay on our 2 weeks Yucatan trip
When we arrived the hotel the whole complex was locked down. When we finally managed to get in we had the next problem. The staff didn't speak English at all. We managed that problem as well. We got to our rooms (we were the only guests) and had to find out that there were bugs in the bathroom and on the sheets were blood drops. The rest of the room was okay, it was big and the beds comfortable. But the so called Italian restaurant was the worst. The choice was big but it was all more or less some kind of pasta. So we ordered and they started 'cooking'. We could hear the microwave start and shortly after the 'pling' we got some slimy pasta which didn't taste like much and payed the double price we normally did when we had good and plenty Mexican food. As bad was the breakfast which was included. 2 old pieces of toast with butter and jam and a cup of powder coffee. We don't recommend this at all. Stay in Valladolid if you can!

고즈넉하고 예쁜, 하지만 할 게 없는 지역의 너무 불편한 호텔
몇 가구로 이루어진 작은 마을의 호텔입니다. 이곳에 호텔은 여기 포함 딱 두 곳이고, 레스토랑도 두 호텔에만 있습니다. 과자와 음료 정도 파는 작은 구멍가게 수준의 가게가 두 개 있을 뿐이고요. 따라서 몹시 불편한 지역입니다. 호텔은 텅텅 비어 있고, 지키는 아주머니는 영어를 하지 못하십니다. 예쁜 정원과 분수대에 큼직큼직한 방들... 누군가가 야심차게 지어 호화롭게 시작한 호텔임이 분명한데, 지금은 그냥 유지만 하고 있는 수준으로 보입니다. 사실 유지가 되는지도 의심스럽긴 합니다. 방은 정말 크고 좋습니다. 정원 쪽으로 난 큰 창으로 보는 풍경도 좋고, 각 방 앞 테라스에는 테이블과 의자도 있습니다. 아침에는 새소리에 깨게 되는데 정말 평화롭고 좋습니다. 천장의 팬 정도만 돌리면 시원하게 잘 수 있습니다. 풀 먹인 침대 시트도 깨끗해서 좋구요. 그런데 욕실에 세면 용품이 없고, 침대 옆 사이드 전등은 둘 다 망가져 있고, 전원도 꽂을 데가 없습니다. 무엇보다 밥을 먹을 데라곤 호텔 안 뿐인데, 프론트 아줌마가 혼자 1인 3역을 하시는데 표방하기는 이탈리안 식당이라고 하지만 집에서 해먹는 것만도 못한 스파게티에 다른 음식들도 별로입니다. 가격도 싸지 않습니다. 조식 포함이었는데 저녁 식사를 먹어보고 나서 기대를 버렸습니다. 역시나 토스트와 잼과 버터와 맛 없는 커피가 다였습니다. 동행인이 너무 배가 고파 계란 후라이를 부탁하니 스크램블드 에그를 해주었는데 60페소를 받아가시더라구요. 한적함이 돋보이는 평화로운 호텔은 맞지만 지내기는 여러 모로 너무 불편합니다. 엑크발람에 들린 김에 자고 가려고 한 건데, 조금만 더 가서 Tizimin 같은 곳에서 숙박하는 게 나을 거라고 봅니다. 그럼에도 불구하고 고즈넉함이 필요해서 이 곳에 가신다면, 모기퇴치 스프레이와 몸에 바르는 퇴치액은 꼭 가져가세요. 아, 참, 인터넷이나 와이파이는 아예 없습니다.

Für eine Nacht vor dem Besuch von Ek Balam gebucht und wir wurden freundlich empfangen. Das Restaurant hat lt.

Zum Frühstück frisches Sesambaguette mit Butter und Marmelade. Wir waren in dieser Nacht auch die einzigen Gäste. Das Hotel ist etwas heruntergekommen, doch das Zimmer war sauber. Leider hatte das Wasser etwas wenig Druck, zum Zähneputzen reichts, Duschen dauert. Wlan Fehlanzeige. 2 Balken Telcel - reicht. Die Sonne, die uns morgens in aller Stille durch den Spalt zwischen den Vorhängen weckte entschädigte alles. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Zentraler Startpunkt für Yucatan-Touristen mit PKW
Schwierige Anreise bei Nacht. Schmale Straßen, schlechte Ausschilderung. Nicht umdrehen: Hotel liegt am Ortseingang links. Rezeption war nach 23:00 Uhr nicht mehr besetzt. Mit Hilfe örtlicher Dorfbevölkerung konnten wir dann jemand erreichen. Von außen unscheinbar und (zumindest bei Nacht) wenig einladend. Als wir dann das Tor passiert hatten, sah die Welt schon wieder positiver aus. Personal hilfbereit und freundlich. Zimmer groß, gute Betten, einfach, aber sauber. Frühstück einfach, alternativ nach Karte. Italienischens Restaurant, auch mit mexikanischen Gerichten. Ohne Schnickschnack wie Pool oder Wellnessbereich, daher weniger zum Daueraufenthalt geeignet. Bietet sich an für Übernachtung für eine Nacht bei größeren Touren oder für längere Zeit als Ausgangspunkt für die typischen touristischen Ziel wie Cenote, Pyramiden oder Städte. Liegt unmittelbar neben der spektakulären Pyramide (+ Cenote) von Ek Balam, die auch bestiegen werden darf! Unweit die 2011 neu zugänglich gemachte Cenote Hubiku vor Temezon mit Mayaladen und modernem Restaurant für Schnellabfertigung von Busreisenden. Anhaltswerte: nach Cancun und Merida ca. 2 Std, Rio Lagartos (Bootsfahrt zu Flamingos für alle Vogelfreunde Pflichttermin) gute Stunde, Chichen Itza knappe Stunde (evtl. anschließend zum Ausspannen mit Mayaland kombinieren), Tulum knappe 1,5 Stunden. Fazit: passendes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis.
