"This is a fantastic location for exploring Chichen Itza.
Our rooms overlooked the jungle and pool area and had loads of wildlife to see. The pool was lovely and exactly what we needed after a long day exploring the ruins.
Staff were friendly and nice.
The restaurant was good with large portions. Slightly expensive, but the hotel is isolated so limited options available.
Overall a lovely stay."
"Immaculately clean, very new TV, AC and bathroom fixture. Got a great night's sleep each time I was there. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.
Piste's small tourist eateries, taco stands and food stalls geared for locals very short walk away. This is the ideal stay for someone visiting Chichen who wants to experience small-town Mexico as part of the trip. I come often to visit friends, and this will be my new local go-to."
"Shambalanté is truly a hidden jewel in the heart of the Yucatecan jungle—a sanctuary for the soul. From the moment you arrive, time seems to slow down, replaced by a deep sense of peace, quiet, and connection with nature.
Everything about this place invites you to breathe more deeply, to let go, and to reconnect with yourself and with the nature around you. The surroundings are simply magical, and the atmosphere feels both grounding and gently transformative.
And the food… absolutely wonderful. Thoughtfully prepared, nourishing, and full of flavor, it complements the entire experience beautifully.
If I had known just how special Shambalanté is, I would have stayed a full week instead of just three days. Thank you to Doris, Ricardo, and the rest of the team. I will definitely be back."
"Great hotel in a quaint little town. Only drawback was the Saturday night we stayed there was an extremely loud disco in the large, somewhat open-air building just next door. It began around 9pm and did not stop until 4am. The bass made it impossible to ignore it, and impossible to sleep. I don't know if this happens every Saturday night, or any other nights, and I don't think it's related to the hotel, but beware: you might be kept up by the noise!"
"The hacienda property is spectacular. The lush tropical surroundings and the pool is extremely beautiful and so very relaxing. The restaurant is fantastic with plenty of local Mayan dishes both for meat eaters and vegetarians and vegans. The rooms are very comfortable with lots of traditional Spanish colonial accents. Lastly, the hotel staff is superb..very polite welcoming and helpful! Best hotel I have stayed at. Super relaxing rejuvenating stay. "
