The beauty of the whole place is just stunning. Beautifully decorated with almost effortless taste. Staff is uber friendly and accommodating. Our room was spotless, extremely comfortable, and again, tastefully decorated. The choice of fan or air conditioning...(or both! ) in the same room: very much appreciated. We almost didn't want to go anywhere cause the pools were such a highlight. Attention to detail separates this place from many other in the region, it's like they just aim to pamper you in so many ways. Staying here was pure bliss and we recommend it to anybody who enjoys comfort and authentic Mexican hospitality. We couldn't be more thankful for having had the chance to stay at this dreamy place. Don't hesitate, you won't regret it.
This hotel was absolutely amazing!!! The hotel experience started before we even arrived. The hotel arranged all of our transport and excursions as well. On days when we would have a long day on the road with our excursion, they would pack lunches for us. I think what really sets this hotel apart is the attention to detail and service. Everyone at the hotel was very nice and attentive (Misael and Roberniel were so good to us, and so very helpful!). The food at the restaurant is also amazing, we ended up eating at the hotel most evenings. Also, I highly recommend the piña coladas and micheladas at the hotel, they were the best I have had! Definitely one of the best hotels we have ever stayed in!
A magical experience. The room, the food, the natural pool, the scenery, and the qualified and helpful staff made this one of my most enjoyable hotel experiences in recent memory. The inn, nestled in the tropical forest hills, is the perfect spot for day trips in Chiapas. Don't miss Yaxchilan and the mole at Dona Mary's Restaurant on the frontier.
We originally choose the Quinta Chanabnal due to its proximity (10 min drive) to the Palenque archeological site. We knew it was a bit more luxurious but the service we received beat our expectations. Staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable, they helped us carry our suitcases to our room on the 1st floor of our building. Restaurant staff also very attentive and polite so again great work from the team. Our room (junior suite, the 'basic' option at the Quinta) was huge with a big comfy bed, silent airco, ceiling fans, a small seating area and a small outside seating area. Furniture all in lacquered hardwood which gave it a colonial grandeur. The room fridge has beers, water and sodas which can be taken at no extra charge and get resupplied every day. Restaurant is very reasonably priced for what you get, lots of local & international options and all excellent quality. Pool area is 5 min walk from the main building between the jungle trees and overlooking the hotel's private laguna. In the evening the pool lighting adds a nice special touch. I also spotted a few red macaws and howler monkeys at the laguna as the sun was rising. All in all great experience, highly recommend for a visit to Palenque. It's not cheap but more than worth the price.
Fantastic hotel. The staff was friendly, kind and very helpful. The food was outstanding. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. Located next to an animal sanctuary which is a must visit. Hear the howling monkeys in the morning (which can be seen on the property). And a short taxi to the archaeological site which is amazing.
Boutique hotel in the jungle next to Palenque site. Big room very helpful people. Beautiful lagoon and swimming pools. The decor is amazing.
The pictures don’t do it justice - the owners put a painstaking amount of effort into every detail, both in the rooms and common areas. The food was delicious and prepared with lots of love and care - definitely your best dining choice in the area ! The pool area was also very nice to unwind at the end of the day (however it would not be safe for kids). By far the best hotel in Palenque.
Highly recommend booking this incredible hotel with only 8 rooms while in Palenque. The staff is lovey, the rooms are big and very comfortable. The plus is the pool area, built in the jungle and so peaceful, really plan to spend some time relaxing there. We saw a beautiful parrot while swimming and some spider monkeys in the trees in the evening.
In a modern take on a Mayan-era complex, this high-end, all-suite hotel is 7 minutes' walk from the Aluxes Ecoparque Palenque zoo and 6 km from Zona Arqueológica Palenque.
