방갈로 에크 발람

This property is suitable for school groups or those on a tight budget. When we arrived they did not have our reservation but there was room so no problem. The room itself is sparsely decorated but clean. The bed was so hard we thought we were sleeping on the box spring call Brideau, it was just just very old. No hot water. It got very cold at night and my wife and I huddled together under the single blanket and sheet and then if we weren’t miserable enough to the dogs started barking at 4am until 5am. Then to top it off we awoke to a knock on our door saying we had not paid enough ton check in and owed another $5USD. Never again.

Cadre authentique mais service de chambre inexistant. Les lits n'ont pas été faits le 2ème matin et les sanitaires pas nettoyés. Le petit-déjeuner est complet mais en revanche le menu du dîner 4 tacos, 1 petite assiette de fruits découpés et du jus de Jamaïque est assez frugale.

Si vous voulez sortir des sentiers battus et être au plus proche de la nature, c'est ici qu'il faut venir... Personnel agréable et serviable, ils nous ont fait manger chez des locaux car nous n'avions pas dîner, une expérience au top !

It vas great to share time with Ek Balam's community.

This is a fantastic fairyland with "cabanas" in the form of the native huts found throughout the village and beyond here an Maya land. The grounds are meticulously maintained, with many flowering plant and butterflies everywhere. Each room has a bed(s) with mosquito netting in place. Things are rustic, but that adds to the charm. The only drawback was the bathroom. While the toilet worked well (no flushing toilet paper, por favor) the sink was minimal and the shower only a trickle with empty liquid soap dispensers. Aside from that, I would have rated it a "five".

Falta más interés en los trabajadores de las cabañas.

Muy bonito muy limpio muy buen precio excelente condiciones

love the eco cabins; you are definitely one with nature!

Despues de estat swparado de mi familia vaeios meses. Decidi darles la sorpresa de pasar tiempo en la naturaleza y decidi resrrvar en los bungalows. Cual fue nuestra sorpresa que fue un martieio. Sin comesor, sin servicio de limpieza, baño en mal estado,. Fueron unas malas vacaciones

Un buen lugar para aislarte del bullicio de la ciudad, con un cielo estrellado increíble y un trato profesional por parte de los trabajadores en las cabañas. La comida excelente, con un buen café y chocolate caliente, con precios muy bajos.

Llegue al hotel y nadie tenía mi reserva lista, me comentaron que un señor les avisa cada vez que hay una reserva (los señores no manejan internet ni tienen computadora) y no tenían mi reserva o datos de mi llegada. Me acompañaron a la cabaña y se metieron a 2 cabañas ocupadas. Finalmente me dieron una cabaña libre (la de menor precio) siendo que yo pague la de mayor precio (para dos personas). Mi experiencia personal fue buena puesto que iba a descansar pero no recomendaría el lugar para que se llevaran sorpresas. Las sabanas estaban manchadas y los mosquiteros de las camas también.

Hotel realmente malo. el sitio esta en un lugar remoto. Aunque el paraje es bonito el servicio es muy malo.

Muy mal mantenimiento. Piscina con algunos centímetros aqua verde sucia, no en funcionamiento. Basura en el ambiente. Mala atención del personal, dormiendo siempre. Habitaciones mal estado ...

Aunque Hoteles confirmo la reserva, y se realizo el pago, a la llegada no tenian constancia ni de la reserva ni del pago, tuvimos suerte de que no tenian ocupada ninguna habitacion y de que llevaba impreso la reserva y el pago, por lo que no hubo ningun problema, pero pudo haber sido un problema grave si no hubieran tenido disponibles habitaciones

Overall, it was alright. Let me first clarify, I like roughing it a little bit. I was slightly disappointed that before arrival, no attempt to sweep bugs off the floor or remove them from the bed or mosquito net had been made. We stayed despite this. That being said, two backpackers checked in next door and immediately demanded a refund and left because their room was "bad" (in their words) - no idea what it looked like relative to ours. Anyways, it is the only place I've ever been where I slept on top of the bed. The villagers were nice. We had the problem that we spoke very broken Spanish. I do not recommend staying here if you do not speak Spanish well. No food was available at our hotel. We went to the hotel with the Italian restaurant for dinner - no one else was there. Also, slightly misleading posts about distance to the ruins. We rented bikes from the hotel. Very old, uncomfortable bikes for 100 pesos for two. It was a 10-15 minute bike ride to the site. Not a 5 minute walk as others have suggested. It was an experience. I'm glad we did it. Though I'm not sure I will personally do it again.

The best time of our 11 day Yucatan vacation. The pictures do not do this place justice. It is beautiful jungle setting with parrots and stars. Friendly mayan staff who obviously care about their environment and stewards of their land. The day at the cenote was surreal. I'll be back to Ek Balam village. Wish I could stay forever.

El lugar poco descuidado, la alberca sin agua y éramos los únicos huéspedes, si la alberca tuviera agua y las regaderas con agua caliente al momento el lugar estaría fantastico

Le site est beau et avec concept écologique. La piscine était vide quand nous y étions. Attention on a pas pu manger le soir sur place, et il n y a pas de supermarché ou restaurant dans la ville. Malgré cela le personnel ne nous a pas aidé à trouvé quelque chose à manger. Le personnel ne parle pas anglais.... Le petit déjeuner est en plus et nous l avis trouvé très cher pour des pancakes (80 pesos par personne). Immersion totale par contre au niveau du quartier.

While I would recommend Cabanas Ek Balam, it isn't what it seems from the ads. Our biggest problem was checking in. No English speaking staff and no record of our reservation (despite several e-mails to a staff member located somewhere else). They did get us checked into a cabana. Grounds are very nice. It is obvious they are trying to upgrade the facilities. But . . . there are almost none of the things in the listing: memory foam mattresses, rainfall shower heads, etc. No hot water in our unit. We enjoyed our stay and found it to be a very convenient base.

L'hôtel fait du surbooking! Du coup même après avoir réservé et payé notre chambre en ligne un mois avant, en arrivant ils nous annoncent que l'hôtel est complet: sans même s'en excuser. Le type nous a amené à un autre hôtel: hotel "italien" complètement à l'abandon. Nous étions les seuls clients, et pour cause, on ne sait même pas si l'hôtel dispose encore d'une licence. Heureusement rien à payer pour cet hotel mais quand même...sans dédommagement ni explication avec un interlocuteur qui ricane en vous annonçant la chose. Pour manger au village il n'y a absolument rien! Attention...
