After touring Palenque ruins, we decided to stay just outside the gate in a cute little community, El Panchán( almost immediate right out of the park entrance) we found Margarita & Ed's at the end of a windy dirt road. We stayed in the newer section with spacious rooms, private baths and air conditioning. That evening, we were escorted to a great local restaurant that was outside with good food and live music. The managing family was very accommodating the next morning and set out a table and chairs and offered us coffee and we chatted for longer than we meant to! The manager even called the local authorities to make sure it was safe for us to drive to another local attraction. We loved it so much we are thinking of returning and spending a few days just relaxing.

This place is so nice, the owners are really helpful. Also recently they opened up their kitchen to all heists which is nice to meet people and to travel on a low budget. The owner changed about a year ago, the new owners are Mexican and very welcoming, relaxed and easy-going. Good for backpackers also or bikepackers like us!

These jungle cabañas and rooms are comfortable and peaceful. The staff was incredibly friendly, helpful, and accommodating. I was here 8 years ago, and I am so happy that I returned. The cabañas are right next to the entrance of Palenque ruins, so it is easy to visit them.
