A quiet place, just 15 mins walk from Ado terminal. Bungalows with all amenities placed in the jungle. The wake up hour is given by the nature and not by trucks. A beautiful and big garden. Breakfast is continental one, a drawback, but offset by location. The bus station to ruins in 3 mins from bungalows. 

Quiet place just outside the busy Palenque

We stayed here for a few days while driving across Mexico and it was paradise in the middle of the madness (especially during Covid). We had the hotel mostly to ourselves and it was the perfect place to rest and relax for a few days before getting back on the road. Thanks to all the staff, especially Victor and Renee (the owner). 

Paradise in the middle of the madness 

We stayed at Hotel Cabana Safari for 3 nights and we loved it!  Our cabana was fairly close to the reception area so our WiFi connection was good. We needed the AC the first night. The grounds are beautiful and we had a porch on the back of the cabana where we could sit and have a glass of wine in the evening. They offer maid service every day. The staff are all very friendly!  Tonight we heard the howler monkeys and oh my, it was awesome. They have a restaurant on the grounds that has a simple menu. It’s great to have it so close to get coffee and breakfast in the morning and dinner in the evening without having to drive. And what a value!  I think it was around $100 US for all three nights!

Loved It!

Stayed in the cabañas safari for 2 nights im december as a group of 4. The place is a real cozy jungle with a pretty pool area but it was full of screaming kids. All rooms have pretty thin walls so yoy hear everyone outside and at the pool at all times. I can recommend it if you are looking for some basic standards and a great location.
They had aircondition in the rooms but the humidity never really left. Probably for that reason the matresses are covered with a plastic protection that is a little weird for sleeping. Showers have very disappointimg water pressure. The wifi only works close to reception and the food is pretty basic, almost no vegetarian options. In order to eat outside the hotel you would need to have a car. 

Cozy atmosphere, basic standards

Pros: Rooms were really nice, and all the terraces are pretty too. One of them had a massive shower and a bath which was very luxurious. 
You can hear the howler monkeys (saraguatos) so it feels like youre in the jungle. 
600 pesos a night was good value for the amenities it provides. 
There are peacocks that roam the grounds and pigs, which was cool. 
Pool was nice.
The location is right between el panchan and palenque. 
The lady who cleaned our room was very nice and smiley. 
Good pinas coladas. 

Cons: More food options on the menu would be good. 
If you want the wifi to work, you have to get a cabin near the reception, even then its a bit sketchy. 
You have to pay 35 - 40 pesos everytime you want to leave to el panchan or the town and come back again, because youre not walking distance from anything. 
the guy at the bar rolled his eyes at me for asking for ice a second time.

overall a great place, 10/10 would recommend.

Lovely, peaceful jungle setting

We were there for the Super Bowl and these wonderful people let us take over the lobby (and found the game on tv for us).  There were three of us, and a group of locals - we all shared the wonderful platter of treats from the restaurant and the fellowship was amazing.  Our room was lovely with a back patio where we could listen to the wildlife and we were within walking distance of restaurants and shops.  The peacocks on the grounds had me entranced.

Fantastic staff, lovely grounds, great place for a party

We'd been really looking forward to staying here for two nights in November as we were keen to experience the sights and sounds of the jungle.

It all started well, the room was very spacious and clean with comfortable beds.  The bathroom was huge with a large shower area and plenty of hot water.  There was bottled water and toiletries supplied, which were both replenished daily.

Our balcony looked out on the jungle.

The man on reception (Rene I believe) was very helpful and friendly, nothing was too much trouble for him.

Possibly due to the location of our room we had zero wifi signal.  Dissapointing, but not too much of an issue as we could get wifi in the restaurant and pool area.

Unfortunately, that wasn't the only disappointment we had.  This place should be so much better than it actually is and it wouldn't take much to make a noticeable difference.  Examples are:

- The garden furniture, sunbeds, chairs, tables etc were all really grubby.  Not just dusty, but dirty, with plenty of bird poo that didn't look as though it had had been cleaned off for a long time.  We went to sit in the sun where there were a number of tables and chairs - all good quality - but couldn't sit on the chairs due to the aforementioned dirt.  We're fairly seasoned travellers and prefer things to be what could be called rustic and don't expect things to be pristine, but they were dreadful.
- In general the grounds in close proximity to buildings showed signs of neglect.  We didn't expect manicured grounds, it is in the jungle after all, but building materials had been discarded apparently randomly.  There was a trampoline and other children's play apparatus that had seen better times (a long time ago) and were also very dirty.
- The restaurant played quite loud music all the time it was open.  As I said previously, we'd looked forward to listening to the sounds of the jungle. Having to listen to loud music while having breakfast instead of listening to the sounds of the birds and howler monkeys was not what we had in mind.  We did ask for the music to be turned down at breakfast one morning as it was intrusive.  In some ways it wouldn't have been so bad if it had been Mexican music, but it wasn't! We appreciate that this will not be the opinion of all guests, but being marketed as 'eco' and in the jungle we didn't expect the music.
- The staff in the restaurant were a little off-putting. Breakfast was served from 7.30am and we made a point of being there when it opened both mornings we stayed as we wanted to make an early start.  Unfortunately, although the staff were there and we were the only guests at the time, the service was very slow.  We had the provided continental breakfast and also ordered extra eggs (omelette or scrambled).  By the time our order had been taken, we'd been served and had eaten our breakfast an hour had passed. On the other hand the waiter whisked away plates and cutlery with some speed, sometimes we had to ask him to replace them as we hadn't finished with them. It felt as though we weren't eating quickly enough and they wanted us to leave.
- We ate in the restaurant on the first evening and experienced the same poor service and loud music.  Our order included a vegetable lasagne, which bore little resemblance to lasagne including the fact that it didn't have any pasta in it.  But the beer was cold, which was good!  Needless to say the next night we made our way into town and ate there.

There always appeared to be a number of staff around that were not doing much, so on the face of it there were no excuses for the grime and general neglect.  

So, as the title says, it could be so much better.

Nice setting, shame about the standards. Could be so much better.

We loved greeny environment plus the jungle music here, very refreshing and relaxing cost us 1300 pesos for 2 nights.

PRO
Friendly staff [especially the young boy at the restaurant], secure parking, spacious room reasonably clean with 2 queen beds and balcony facing the nature, hot shower, climate and surprisingly toiletries which included shampoo sachet and 2 complementary water bottle. 

CON
TV doesn't work and WiFi signal not consistent while it's Important for us to be able to work remotely.

Nice Atmosphere.....

Restaurant: Margarine instead of butter, orange juice from the box, stale bread, no clue about waffles, dry hamburger, even dryer french fries.

Rooms: ok . You can't hear the road, in the garden a little. 
A/C: I tried 3 cabanas, they didn't cool.
Service: friendly
Location: got to take a collectivo wherever you go. Too far and too hot to walk. Close to the bus terminal. 
Restaurant: forget about it. No alternative in useful distance.
Sitting there though is very relaxing. Good music.
Pool: Photoshopped. It is a puddle for three year olds. 

Everything was relatively expensive for what I got.
It is however a very private place.
Much potential to improve. 

Beautiful garden, the rest is soso

This hotel is an absolut no go!! When we went on our trip to the archelogicsl site the stole our money from the room!!! They took out stuff of our bags to find the money from different bags and took it all. When we confronted the staff at the reception they shrugged and said that it was our responsibility. They supposably checked a camera but this was not even plugged into the power socket. 
They were not helpfull at all at resolving this and didn’t even appologize. After this they ordered us to leave because they didn’t want us to cause more trouble. Minus 5 stars if it was possible!
