8.8/10 Excellent! (149 reviews)
The room was great and the staff was wonderful. My only suggestion concerns breakfast. Many tours begin at 7:30. It's important that breakfast is ready right at 7 to allow time to get to the tour pick-up stops, particularly in Santa Ana Park, which is a 15-minute walk. Thanks.

We enjoyed waking around exploring city. During our stay we also visited Chechen Itza, Uxmal and had a cenotes tour. Everywhere we went people were friendly and we felt quite safe. We would happily recommend visiting.

I would recommend using Uber if you need a taxi anywhere it will be half the price of normal taxis, especially from airport.

Free airport transfer is great if you are between flights like we were.
