Chan Kah
Simple resort hotel set within the lush jungle surroundings of Palenque.
Enveloped within the tropical environs of Palenque, the cabins and relaxation areas that make up the Chan Kah are spread throughout lushly overgrown gardens and framed by towering trees and palms. A stream trickles through the grounds and the surrounding jungle resounds with the calls of birds and monkeys.
Wood and stone cottages house guest rooms with spacious private bathrooms and patios and are linked by paths winding through the lush foliage. There's also a restaurant and bar area and a free-form swimming pool fed by the river. It's possible to walk to the ancient Mayan ruins of Palenque, which lie 4km away, or take public transportation.
