Uxmal Resort Maya
Such a nice, luxurious place to spend time. The included breakfast is limited to one section of the menu. The place is kid friendly so there was a lot of activity by the pool.

Hacienda Uxmal Plantation & Museum
Beautiful property well situated to lots of attractions (pyramids, planetarium, eco-park/museum) but the restaurant staff ranges from mostly disinterested to somewhat dishonest (pretty obviously did not bring back correct change, helping herself to a very nice tip) and as other travelers have noted ...
