After driving for hours through a "brecha" which was kind of a bad experience, we got to this really cool place. You feel like staying in the middle of the jungle. We were the only guests the first night, so the staff spent time with us sharing amazing stories about the animals around the place and the actual discovery of... More

After staying and eating in many hotels along the way from Chiapas to Cancun, Belize and Guatemala this place still sticks out as being one of the best places. First and foremost was the location in the jungle, you really feel connected to your environment with the screen walls (so yes it's "rustic chic"), the natural beauty of the jungle,... More

such a location within the woods and relatively close to the Ruins of Calakmul After searching a place to stay for the night we found this treasure. All shacks are in the woods and at night you get a feeling for what it is like to be in the jungle. The rooms are simple but clean and Moskito nets were... More

This hotel had a lot going for it. The "rooms" - actually cabins - were spacious and comfortable, with well fitted-out bathrooms and efficient fans. The setting, amongst trees, was delightful. The dining room is charming, with open walls fitted with netting, so it feels open-air but with few insects. The netting walls have their downside - if there is... More

We are 4 friends who visit the Mayan ruins every once in a while without our wifes, of course with their understanding - we think. On this trip Hotel Puerta Calakmul was chosen for the three nights stay and this proved to be an excellent choice. The accommodation could not have been better and the service stuff, all young people,... More

We only ate in the restaurant and looked at the Hotel. It was too pricey for us. We are in Mexico a lot and paying over $100 American dollars for one night is crazy down here. We had our own car so we drove down to the ruins. Yes you can even though the other reviews act like you can't.... More

If this place isn't in the middle of no-where than you can sure see it from here...not a lot of choices out here for something above a town hotel, so it does fill a need...here's the good, the bad, and the ugly....the cabanas are rustic but inviting, with thoughtful touches...they're spaced a decent ways apart but they only have half...

First, we were helped by a price discount through TripAdvisor, perhaps a seasonal thing. Second, though this hotel is not the only game in town, Xpujil itself looks pretty instense, and in Escarcega I got the first gas-station change-making scam I've had in over 10 years, if that tells you anything. This hotel entrance road is at the gravel-road turnoff... More

When we arrived at this hotel we were very excited. We'd booked a jungle tour for the next day online and as soon as we arrived we checked that this was ok with the man on the front desk. He said he'd ring and confirm. We didn't hear anything back from him so we checked again with the female receptionist... More

I recently stayed at 2 nights at Puerta Calakmul on Jan2/3, 2012. I found the hotel itself to be charming but overall not worth the price. The receptionist did not book our jungle tour and said that she couldn't find us a guide to Calakmul until the following day. When she did find us a guide, she failed to mention... More
