I had a lovely stay at this hotel nestled in the jungle, which offered beautiful views and a unique atmosphere. The rooms were clean and comfortable, providing good value for the price, but I found the dining options to be a bit limited. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly throughout my stay, and the location is a real highlight, being so close to the ruins. However, it was somewhat inconvenient that Wi-Fi had to be purchased separately, and I also felt that the facilities could use some improvement.

The rooms were spacious and comfortable, making it a nice retreat after a day of exploring. Although the service was good, I found the dining options somewhat lacking. Overall, the hotel offers great value for money, but the location is a bit inconvenient if you're planning to visit the entrance on foot.

The hotel is nestled in a beautiful jungle setting, providing a serene atmosphere with mist in the trees. The rooms are comfortable enough for a group, though the small bathroom can be a bit inconvenient. The service was decent, but I wish there were more inclusive amenities. The location is fantastic, being just outside the Palenque ruins park and close to a wonderful restaurant. Overall, it offers good value for money despite some minor drawbacks.

I had a great experience at this hotel, nestled in the jungle with a stunning river view and close to the Palenque archeological area. The rooms were spacious and equipped with a small kitchenette, making it convenient for families. The staff was friendly, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. However, the breakfast options were a bit lacking, and the Wi-Fi wasn’t free, which was disappointing.
