Nice hotel. Some staff in restaurant seemed aggressive re tips.
Pros:

I chose a room with an observatory view and it was excellent. Definitely would book that again.
The resort was calm and peaceful and I enjoyed the pool.
This hotel is a great choice to be at Chichen Itza early.

Cons:

The dining room experience was somewhat strange. The food was typical and reasonable quality. I particularly liked the guacamole and fajitas which I found excellent. It’s the service by a few waiters that was weird. Meals had to be paid for and I used by card. The card machine didn’t have a space for a tip / propina. Normally in Mexico I’d leave 10 or 15% and in previous places so far in my tour of Mexico the servers were so gracious. The machines normally have 5,10,15,20 % options Here One of the waiters in particular was v aggressive by asking if I had cash. On one occasion I’d only a 500 peso note. In my mind i had intended to go to the reception afterwards and return with a tip but he was aggressive and brought me to someone. I felt intimidated and didn’t like it one bit. That particular morning I was waiting 20 minutes for a coffee and had to ask twice. I hate the US tipping culture and that’s another reason not to go there - it’s not the financial side it’s that people seem to be unnatural. But I’m in Mexico and I didn’t expect such aggression. I had wanted to say this to reception but couldn’t find the right opportunity.

A Grand Indulgence to Experience at Mayaland!!
Pros:

Mayaland is a special place stay when visiting Chichen Itza as we had a room with a balcony that overlooked the ruins observatory. The landscape is lush and grounds expansive. The pool was a delight and we enjoyed having drinks on the provided lounge chairs upon our return from the ruins. There were a number of dinner options at the restaurant and breakfast was incredible out on the patio in the morning. Easy parking for our rental car and the staff assisted us with our luggage to our room. My husband had visited Mayaland 40 years before and when informed - the staff prepared a lovely fruit platter for us to enjoy along with a sweet note and flower arrangement for our room. Very memorable!!

Cons:

The gift shop wasn't open yet - would have purchased souvenirs from them.

Experiencia na porta do Chichen Itza
Pros:

Proximidade com Chichen Itza, staff super prestativo e educado, instalações perfeitas, uma construção lindíssima e os quartos super lindos e confortáveis! O restaurante atende super bem, muito gostoso

Cons:

O cafe da manha, apesar de ser muito gostoso, e a la carte, dificulta um pco pra escolha dos itens, pra nos que estamos acostumados com buffet de cafe da manha e diferente, mas nada que atrapalhe a experiencia

Magical place with history in the middle of the jungle.
Pros:

The view was astonishing! We love this rare type of historical hotel with lots of character and charme. Very helpful staff.

Cons:

The placement of the pool next to the restaurant made us not stay by the pool as we felt “observed”.
Restaurant staff did have a tendency to ask very frankly for a tip and waited until you gave it. That is uncomfortable.

Deludente, non all'altezza di prezzo e aspettative.
Pros:

Posizione ottima per raggiungere Chichen Itza nel giro di pochi minuti di auto e nel complesso struttura di architettura coloniale molto gradevole, immersa nella natura.

Cons:

In primo luogo, avevamo prenotato una camera con vista osservatorio Maya, il quale però si intravedeva appena: per dire, la visuale dalla hall d'ingresso era migliore. In secondo luogo, la stanza presentava arredamento particolarmente datato (e anche il condizionatore risultava vetusto e malfunzionante) e sia le finestre sul corridoio che la porta avevano delle zanzariere con delle persiane invece che dei vetri, con evidenti ripercussioni negative sull'insonorizzazione (inesistente)

Heerlijk en prachtig aangelegd complex
Pros:

Prachtige locatie en omgeving. Direct naast Chichén Itzá. De bungalow beviel ons prima, wel allemaal wat gedateerd, maar alles wat je nodig hebt. Wij hadden niet aan te merken. Personeel erg behulpzaam en vriendelijk. Er is op het terrein een oude ingang naar Chichén Itzá, die momenteel gesloten was. Je slaat dus praktisch in het park vlak in de buurt van El Castillo. Je kunt het observatorium zien vanuit het hotel. We hebben een privé gids geregeld vanuit het hotel.

Cons:

Niets

Mooie locatie en zeer dichtbij Chichen, maar prijs kwaliteit verhouding is slecht/scheef
Pros:

De locatie. Zeer dichtbij Chichen Itzan. De tuin van het hotel is ook mooi.

Cons:

Het hotel moet gerenoveerd worden. Het is echt run down. Het personeel in het restaurant was ook niet allemaal vriendelijk. Te weinig ligstoelen bij het zwembad. Handdoeken mogen vernieuwd worden. Prijs kwaliteit verhoudingis daarom ook echt niet goed. Heel jammer want het is echt een mooie locatie en het gebouw heeft veel potentie.
