One day before our arrival we received following message: Dear Guest, We would like to inform you that, due to irregular resolutions issued by the authorities of the State of Yucatan, The Lodge at Chichén Itzá has been forced to temporarily suspend its operations. Our legal team is taking all necessary actions to remedy this situation and reopen our doors in the shortest time possible. In the meantime, we have secured your stay by automatically transferring your reservation to the Chichén Itzá Hotel. If you prefer to cancel your reservation due to ..... We paid a lot of money to stay so close to one of the "7 world wonders". Luckily, Hotels.com (expedia) is taking care of this issue and clarifying current situation including a refund for us. It would have been the highlight of our 17 days Mexico holidays. We booked all nights at four different lications via Hotels.com, a hotel site I really can recommend.

This resort stay was amazing and genuinely beyond my expectations. The jungle atmosphere is the whole experience—peaceful, romantic, and nearly effortless from check-in to checkout. If you’re expecting a brand-new, ultra-modern “2025-built” 5-star resort, you’re missing the point of staying within about 1,000 feet of Chichén Itzá and being immersed in nature. The entire site was very clean, and the beds were super comfortable. The staff were nothing but welcoming—friendly and they sparked conversations in a natural way without ever being obtrusive. Service felt easy and relaxed, which is exactly what we wanted. The food was right in line with what we hoped for—solid 4–5 star quality. We stayed in a lodge with a single bed, and the air conditioning was more than adequate (honestly, it was set too cold when we arrived—nice problem to have). No real need for an alarm clock if you sleep with the windows open—the natural sounds are the perfect wake-up call. We visited at the end of February and avoided crowds completely—only about 4–5 cars in the parking lot. It’s far enough from the hustle and bustle of Cancun to truly unwind. I would return without a doubt, and I definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing, romantic stay in a unique jungle setting near Chichén Itzá.

Room was very clean. The setting was absolutely beautiful. The food was excellent. The pools were very nice. The staff are super dedicated. Great place.

Das Zimmer war groß, es hatte aber ein Kingbett statt der gebuchten 2 Betten. Steckdosen waren nur äußerst wenige vorhanden. Der Lichtschalter für die Deckenbeleuchtung war hinter einem Wandteppich versteckt. Eigentlich ist es ein Hotel zusammen mit dem Mayaland Hotel, Gleise Restaurant und gleiche Pools, nur, dass man in den Bungalows untergebracht wird. Die Anlage wird zur Zeit renoviert. Zudem hatte die Stadt das Wasser für einige Stunden am Nachmittag und dann ab 21 Uhr abgestellt, was die Urlaubs Freude ein wenig schmälerte. Insgesamt für das Geld eher enttäuschend.

The room was clean and staff was courteous and very helpful. The property was very unique and beautiful.

Estuvo bien en general la estancia, la habitación limpia y bien solo un poco incómoda en cuanto a distribución de la habitación.

La zona, verde y con árboles gigantes

Las habitaciones son muy lindas, lo unico malo es que me enviaron a una super lejos de todo y de la recepción. Todo lo demás excelente, fue lo que yo esperaba y necesitaba, como experiencia de quedarnos cerca de las ruinas esta padrisimo.

Property is large with plenty of natural space. They are renovating the buildings with 14 of the 36 units completed.

Uniquely, beautiful property both the grounds and buildings! I highly recommend staying there.

Old hotel, my grandparents had better facilities during war.

The assigned room had no TV or Internet signal. Due to overall power shortage in the Yucatan peninsula we had a room upgrade. This room had TV and Internet signal.

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.

La razón por la que contratamos este hotel fue que se menciona que tiene acceso directo a Chichen Itza, el acceso está cerrado desde hace 5 años. El menú es muy limitado muchas cosas que no tienen porque el hotel acaba de reabrir.

Location is great, air conditioner was a bit of a challenge to get it to the right temperature. The bathroom was outdated

Bungalows, palapa roofs, food, gardens, pool, view of the Mayan observatory, sunshine, warmth. What’s not to like.

This is the only place to stay for a visit to Chichen Itza. They have a five minute shuttle to the archaeological site and will even sell you a ticket before you go so you don’t have to wait in line. Plus it’s a really nice Hacienda style hotel

The place was very unique; we loved the old buildings, beautiful gardens and "old world" atmosphere.

Environment and landscapes

El hotel nos sorprendió muchísimo. Espacioso, tranquilo. Todo su personal super cordial y atentos a ayudarnos en todo lo que necesitamos durante los días que estuvimos con ellos. Muy recomendado para descansar, relajar y conocer las extraordinarias bellezas de la zona de Chichen Itza
