What to do in Yucatán
Chichen Itza, Mayan Cenote & Valladolid Tour with Optional Buffet Lunch
"An absolutely beautiful hotel! Can’t say enough about it. It’s stunning with gorgeous rooms. Bed was so comfortable, unlike others at Mexican resorts. The room was impeccably appointed and the staff extremely helpful. The food was good as well.
Highly recommend this beautiful relaxing hotel."
"This is a excellent, clean, and modern hotel with kind and helpful staff. However I had a major issue with booking on Expedia! Once I confirmed the booking (pay upon arrival) the hotel messaged me and demanded I issue them a 50% deposit outside of the Expedia app in order to hold the booking for me if I arrived any later then the 3PM check-in time. This is highly irregular behavior and totally unprofessional. I have never had any other hotel do this anywhere in the world."
