No more Palapas with hammocks, no camping, no RV park. The magic of The Hippies and backpacker campers with guitars and trinkets for sale- all gone.  I stayed in the rooms and camped here for 35 years, and it was amazing. No more. Everything has changed. Same owners, but radical Management change for the worse. Establishment seems to now cater to single men. Restaurant and bar, once lively with song, dance, and fun travelers, is now ghosty.  They do have nice clean restrooms now, so that is the only plus. I bet they either sell out or lose the business on the current track with the new management structure. So disappointing after many years of loyalty here.

Downer.  No Camping, No Backpackers

I must say: great location. It’s 1,5km from the ticket office for the site. You buy your tickets here and then drive another 1 km to the actual site.

Parking is 50 pesos and arranged by locals. It’s not a scam, they do a good service, right in front of the site.

But the hotel……

We have a nice room, they call it deluxe. The room is newer then the rest of the facility. Nice, big, good ac. But the rest is desperate in need for a major upgrade. The pool is rundown and could seriously need some new paint and plaster.

The “restaurant” has proper food , as far as you could imagine in a place like this. Breakfast is kot included and everything you do you have to pay directly, you cannot put it on a room. The staff in the restaurant needs to be replaced. They don’t speak English and do not have any sence about what to do or how to act in a restaurant. It makes you feel unwelcome.  And your first cocktail has more alcohol in it then the second one ;) , they do not taste the same.

Great location, hotel is rundown….

Great location for a few days of you are visiting the ruins of Palenque. Close enough to actually walk of you want! Great staff, very attentive and most are English speaking of you need help. Restaurant and bar area is very nice, menu has plenty of local choices and the pricing was moderate. You'll love the Howler Monkeys in the evening and morning! 

Convenient location for Palenque ruins 

Set in the national park this hotel's location is amazing. Howler monkeys in the trees above our cabin made it one of our most memorable stays. Rooms are very comfortable and clean, pool is refreshing, staff are friendly and food is tastey.

Natural paradice

We had a great time staying at the Maya Bell. It’s in the heart of the jungle but offers an oasis of entertainment that includes live music in the evening, a swimming pool, bar and an excellent restaurant offering popular Western and Mexican dishes. I enjoyed some of the best Mexican food at this hotel. The guest rooms are quaint but air conditioned - an absolute necessity in the humidity of the jungle!

Jungle Living

We like the open air arrangements, the overall very welcoming atmosphere, the huge pool (we were observing howler monkeys in the trees while having a coctail in the pool after visiting the ruins- what else can you ask for?!?!?!?!), lovely staff members, good food, very friendly and knowledgable barkeeper, live music at night, etc.

great choice when visiting ruins

Although the room we stayed in was in need of an update, we enjoyed the gorgeous food, the lovely atmosphere in the dining area and the pool. Its proximity to the ruins ( the only hotel in the heart of the jungle area) was the draw card. A bit of investment in the rooms, including a bit of air conditioning would alleviate the mouldy smells and the 1 star rating.

great potential.

We stayed here as part of a g adventure trip. The hotel is right in the middle of the natural park/jungle with accompanying jungle things e.g. howler monkeys and other creatures close by as well as the jungle humidity. The rooms are just fine with hot water in most. The wifi is good in the restaurant. The food in the restaurant is good too. We were here for New Year’s Eve and had a lovely time with good Mexican music being played each night we were there. There is an enticing looking pool. 

In the jungle 

Stayed couple of nights but too busy visiting nearby jungle, Mayan archaeological site and must-see museum ( 5 mins walk away) to use the lovely looking swimming pool. Room in garden, simple and quiet ( save for some howler monkeys).Had excellent meals: breakfasts and dinners from large menu; good cocktails.... Lovely place for a break.

Lovely rural hotel

Jungle lodge style rooms were comfortable and clean with air conditioning. Wifi was not working when we visited but is normally available.
The restaurant served good food/breakfast and the early morning calls of the Howler Monkeys added to the atmosphere.
Close to the ruins which were well worth visiting.
