"Staying at The Lodge at Chichen Itza was such a unique and memorable experience. It feels surreal to be so close to the ruins, surrounded by history and completely immersed in nature — you really feel like you’re in the middle of the jungle.
The grounds are absolutely beautiful, with a classic hacienda style and tons of lush plants everywhere you look. Even though the property is going through some updates, it didn’t take away from our stay at all — it actually feels like the place is growing and coming back to life. The pool area is gorgeous and perfect for cooling off after exploring.
The staff was incredible — so friendly and welcoming, they really make you feel like family. They were always happy to chat, help with anything we needed, and even gave great tips on places to visit nearby.
The food was a highlight too — fresh, balanced, and tasty any time of day. The drinks were great (and well-priced!), and the desserts, especially the marquesitas, were so good.
Our room had a rustic charm, everything worked well, and it was spotlessly clean.
We only wish we could have stayed longer. Between the warm hospitality, beautiful setting, and the once-in-a-lifetime experience of staying right next to Chichen Itza, this place is truly special. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to combine history, culture, and a jungle escape."
"These are cute little bungalows in a beautiful tropical forest setting in a quaint village 15 min from the pyramids at Chechen Itza.
The real gem here is Luis, the property owner and host. Luis greeted me with fresh juice and advice about visiting Cheche Itza and surrounding cenotes. He's a kind and gentle man and even broke out his guitar one evening.
Breakfast was also a highlight!
This is a great option for visiting Chechen Itza."
"What a lovely lovely place, it really takes you back to old school colonial architecture and living. The hotel has developed a wonderful eco friendly hotel with a beautiful garden and pool that should be enjoyed. Food was wonderful and so nice to see that they produce as much of their own food as they can and where they’re unable to, they source from the local community. Our only comment would be that if you were staying for more than one night, the beds are small for 2 so as a family it’d be worth considering 2 rooms but it really didn’t detract from our stay. "
