Awesome secluded spot in the jungle. Walking distance to the National Park with a nice trail. Rooms were rustic but very cool. Nice ambiance surrounding the entire place with a great layout and nice pool. The restaurant on site was great too.

More shelves for clothing and perhaps a chair inside the cabana would be nice. Overall, it was a lovely experience.

It's a pretty basic hotel. Excellent location, in the rainforest and pretty close to the archeological site. I'd give a better review but smoking is allowed in the property. The smoke goes through the screen of the open windows. If you don't smoke, you can have pretty close smokers and noisy, neighbors. The staff left hand soap bar only once during our stay.

The garden and surrounding at the property is beautiful but the cabin was really dirty and old. It looks like the owner has not changed or buy anything for many many years. Also when I booked, I asked for 2 bedrooms and got a 3 bedroom cabin and we didn’t know we have to share one.

I dont like that they restrict the guests from enjoying a drink in their own balcony. They charge for enjoying your own drink while you enjoy the view. One has to be confined in their little room with no tables inside. Why bother then staying in beautiful forest if you cannot enjoy it? The cabins are ok, but uncomfortable for socializing inside.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
We booked our stay here based entirely on the photographs posted on their website and booking platforms. I expected the bright, spacious, and modern room shown—a clean, contemporary sanctuary. What I received was an object lesson in false advertising. ​The room we were assigned was, charitably, a cramped utility closet masquerading as a guest room. The promotional photos must have been taken using a panoramic lens and professional lighting tricks in a completely different wing of the building, if not a different decade. ​ ​This isn't a case of a slightly misleading photo; this is a deliberate deception. I felt tricked and disappointed from the moment I opened the door. If you are booking this hotel, be warned: the room you see online is not the room you will be staying in. Pay extra for a hotel that shows you what you're actually paying for. And ultimately the compensation they deemed "more then sufficient" was a meager lunch box.

Die Cabanas liegen direkt gegenĂŒber vom Ticketschalter fĂŒr die ArchĂ€ologische Zone, jedoch schon innerhalb dieser Zone. Von dort sind es ca. 2.5 km bis zum Eingang zu den Ruinen. Colectivos fahren direkt von dort ab, aber auch nach Palenque. Die Anlage an sich ist sehr schön, mit viel Wasser, BĂ€umen, kleinen HolzbrĂŒcken und Baumbestand. Ich hatte einen Bungalow mit Klimaanlage gebucht, die aber im Februar nicht nötig war. Das Zimmer war sehr sauber, das Bett soweit das komfortabelste in den vergangenen 5 Wochen in Mexiko. Auch das Bad war sauber, die ToilettenspĂŒlung funktionierte ebenso wie das heisse Wasser, was beides auch in dieser Preisklasse in Mexiko nicht selbstverstĂ€ndlich ist. Aus dem mexikanischen Hochland kommend hatte ich hier in den Cabanas zum ersten Mal jedoch den touristischen Einfluss bemerkt, denn Palenque ist mit Bacalar nun durch den Mayazug verbunden und gehört zum erweiterten Einzugsgebiet der Yucatanreisenden: im Restaurant werden grundsĂ€tzlich 10% Trinkgeld auf die ausgewiesene Rechnung aufgeschlagen und diese dann den Gast untergejubelt. Auf Nachfrage stellt sich dann heraus, dass es sich dabei um eine Kann- und keine Mussleistung handelt. Richtig dreist wurde es jedoch, als man von den Kellnern noch obendrauf um ein Trinkgeld gebeten wurde. Das Preis-LeistungsverhĂ€ltnis ist in diesem Restaurant schon von sich aus dĂŒrftig, bei einem solchen Verhalten fĂŒhlt msn sich jedoch ausgenommen und ĂŒbers Ohr gehauen.
