Hôtel/camping/resto à l entrée du site de Palenque
Pros:

Hôtel/camping juste à l entrée du site de Palenque, vous pouvez garer la voiture devant le resto qui appartient au site puis prendre vos billets et les taxis obligatoires à pied, c est pratique et on économise le parking payant.
Un resto sur place qui sert toute la journée et une cuisine partagée à disposition (très sommaire) mais qui permet de limiter les coûts des repas en famille !
Personnel très souriants et accueillants.

Cons:

Piscine très sale (voir photo)
Pour moi pas du tout un hôtel au cœur de la jungle comme certains commentaires le disent : c est construit dans la forêt mais c est tellement touristique il y a du passage, du bruit et de la musique en continu, perso je ne me suis pas du tout sentie dans la jungle.
Bungalow assez anciens, confort minimum.
Avantage ou inconvénient : c est près de l entrée du site archéologique mais à 15-20min du centre ville : resto (sauf celui de l hôtel) commerces… un peu loin, voiture utile!

Perfekter Ausgangspunkt, um die Mayastätte zu entdecken
Pros:

Freundliches Personal, sauberes Zimmer. Trotz der Lage in der Natur sehr sauber und keine Insekten im Zimmer.

Cons:

Das Restaurant hat fast ausschließlich europäische Gerichte auf der Karte. Pool könnte sauberer sein (aber mitten im Dschungel gibt es nunmal auch viel Laub).

Nature and location perfection!
Pros:

The whole place is so lush! Full of green spaces. The pool was great, and the location close to the ruins was just spectacular.

Cons:

As in many other places in Mexico, their recycling efforts are precarious. They can do way better. Also, the staff were just okay.

Pros:

The location is very good and the whole setting very nice.

Cons:

The restaurant was convenient, but the atmosphere was rather cold and uncomfortable. The laundry service is far too expensive. The rooms are quite small.

Pros:

Beautiful property, helpful staff, right across the street from the ticket office and shuttles to the ruins

Cons:

Because the pool flows from the smaller part to the larger part, the larger part was often full of leaves, bugs, hair, etc. which made it undesirable to swim in

Very lovely and relaxing stay
Pros:

I loved the place. Clean hotel room, nice jungle ambience, sweet and caring staff, functional and well equipped guest kitchen, right across from the colectivo/ticketing station for Palenque archeological zone. The pool was nice especially for very hot days. I loved the bug nets on the windows so you can sleep with the windows open and soak in the jungle air without bites. After check out I was allowed to use the public areas so I could catch a quick dip/shower before hopping on the long ride home. Will definitely stay again and recommend.

Cons:

It’s just far from everything- not a lot of food or spa options - but that’s the way it is for being in the jungle.

Cómodo en medio de la naturaleza
Pros:

Muy buena ubicación tanto para llegar como para trasladarte a las ruinas, tiene algunos senderos para caminar, la piscina es buena opción para relajarse en medio de los sonidos de la selva, si haces check out puedes guardar tus cosas en un locker, mi transporte salia por la tarde y pude hacer uso de la piscina, duermes rodeado de la naturaleza, pero cómodo, buena opción si vas a Palenque y quieres desconectar un poco (aunque hay wifi y es buena la señal).
