The hotel had kind, friendly, accommodating staff. Our bedroom and bathroom were very spacious, and the large private terrace facing a beautiful natural setting was a big plus. We swam in two of the three pools onsite and loved their natural surroundings. The food from the restaurant was delicious. The only negative was that the water in both our bathroom shower and sink did not get warm. On our final morning, after running the hot water faucet for 10 or more minutes, we did get warmer -but not hot - water. It was a little chilly in the evenings and mornings, so warmer water for showering would have been appreciated. Otherwise, it was a nice experience in a lovely setting.

We loved our stay at Mayaland - huge room with balcony overlooking the Chitchen Itza observatory. Yes some of the resort needs updating (work is underway but wasn’t an issue) but the place oozes charm and character and the history of building is felt everywhere. Shame that the entrance to Chitchen next to the hotel is closed at present but the free shuttle was great.

Beautiful, historic property but inconsistent services and amenities. Grounds - lovely, intricately carved wood accents, lush gardens, Spanish-colonial architecture. Rooms - Spacious, comfortable beds, good AC. Large spa tub, but no bubble bath. No hair dryer or working TV in the rooms. Gorgeous leather-woven chairs but it's not easy to sit down and enjoy a meal bc chairs and table on the balcony are different heights. Restaurant - There's only 1 restaurant on the property, not 3. Food quality and service is variable. Too expensive for what you get, and there's a bit of nickeI-and diming that we haven't encountered at other resorts. Numerous food items on the menu were unavailable, which limited the selections. Amenities - Nice pool area, beautiful gardens. But several things noted on the hotel map are non-existent (i.e. a stable and horse area). There's a planetarium on site, which is pretty cool, but the projector needs a new bulb as images were pretty dim. Proximity - within sight of Chichen Itza, but not within walking distance with surrounding jungle and roads. It's about 10 minutes away by car, depending on traffic. Car service to airport - Terrible. Driver decided to take us on an unrequested scenic drive thru Valladolid rather than the direct route to the Cancun airport. Worse, he got lost in Valladolid, and my husband had to redirect him to the highway. Had we not caught on, we would have missed our flight. Not worth the hefty price we paid for this.

Still don’t have the full amenities since they last opened but we still had an amazing time. The property has so much potential to be very luxurious. The staff was great (they provided us a tour to Chichen itzá and transportation) and we really enjoyed the drinks at the bar and the food at the restaurant!!!

Location to Chichen Itza is great and we appreciated the tour guide and early ticket purchases arranged by the hotel to beat the queues. The staff were very helpful and friendly overall and there seems to be a lot of work going on across the resort. That said, I’m not sure why ratings for the hotel and rooms is so high amongst other guests. Despite having a superior room it was tired. The shower didn’t drain at all well so flooded the bathroom floor, there was no sound proofing and we could hear everything going on along the balcony outside and down in the gardens below. On the second morning before check out we had to endure 2.5 hours (8-10.30am) of someone chainsawing logs in the garden. The site seemed to have been hit by a storm or been allowed to fall into a state of disrepair as many of the chalets had thatched roofs that had fallen in. Maybe as we visited out of season it will all be fixed in time. Restaurant was ok with a range of options but after eating there a couple of times, options felt limited. Breakfast was expensive and not worth it as an add on.
