An attractive mid-range hotel within walking distance of Chichén Itzá archaeological site.

The colonial-style building is just a ten-minute walk from the ruins at Chichén Itzá which means that guests can visit the site before and after the tour buses arrive.

The rooms, restaurant and public spaces have a cheerful décor inspired by the vivid colours of Mexican ceramics and textures, and Mayan statues pepper the grounds.

Cool tiles and lofty archways mitigate against the heat as does a dip in the large, inviting swimming pool.
