El Mesón del Marqués
10/10 Excellent
"The room we had was average. The bathroom was tiny. However, the hotel’s location is excellent. The restaurant was superb for dinner and breakfast. Beautiful hotel grounds.

Hotel Chichen Itza
8/10 Good
"Es un hotel perfecto para quedarse una noche si vas a visitar las ruinas de Chichén Itzá.
Modesto pero muy limpio. Las camas duras pero el baño bien, A/C bueno, toiletries.
Buen desayuno que es incluido. Rico café y el persona amable."
Hacienda Chichen Resort & Yaxkin Spa
8/10 Good
"The setting is genuinely remarkable — colonial architecture wrapped in dense jungle gardens, with a beautiful pool and staff attentive enough to pull you aside and show you a nesting owl. That kind of place-specific magic is hard to manufacture.
But the experience has real rough edges. The rooms feel dated relative to the price point, and the walls are thin enough that you'll know your neighbors intimately.
More frustrating: several sources still describe direct access to the Chichen Itza archaeological zone, which no longer exists — worth knowing before you book. Small operational failures compounded this: taxis requested but not followed through on, and notices about outside food and drink posted with a tone that doesn't match a property at this price tier. The restaurant leans expensive, particularly for wine, which matters more here than it would in town given how far you are from alternatives.
The birdwatching program looks excellent, but was booked for the time that worked for us. Book early or confirm availability on arrival.
Thin walls, but rooms are spotlessly clean.
If the grounds and atmosphere are your priority, you'll find them here. Come with adjusted expectations on the rest."
Villas Arqueologicas Chichen Itza
10/10 Excellent
"Bathroom got clogged easily but this is apparently a problem in all the hotels I stayed at in Mexico. The staff were quick to fix it. Becareful walkkng/running on the floor tiles after you exit the pool because I slipped just by walking. It’s a beautiful villa and close to Chichén itza
