The highlight at this upper-middle-range property is proximity to the Chichen Itza ruins -- and it even has its own private entrance to the archaeological site. Part of the larger Mayaland resort with whom it shares features (though it also has a private pool of its own), the Lodge at Chichen Itza offers rustic yet pleasant bungalows equipped with flat-screen TVs, minibars, and tea/coffee facilities, plus extras like verandas and whirlpool tubs in some. There are several dining options to choose from at the Mayaland resort, though guests complain that food is overpriced. Other features include spa services, free bike rentals, and the beautiful, well maintained grounds themselves, which offer a lush jungle setting and miles of trails that guests can bike or horseback ride on. Rates at the Hotel & Bungalows Mayaland are lower, but it's a less intimate experience.

Hotel & Bungalows Mayaland is a value property located in the middle of the Mayan jungle near the Chichen Itza archaeological ruins. Built in 1923, it has an Old Yucatan style and has hosted famous names like Princess Diana and Luciano Pavarotti. The 54 rooms, suites, and bungalows are clean and spacious, with minibars and air-conditioning. Most have soaking tubs and large balconies and some have temple views -- but rooms can pose minor maintenance issues and Wi-Fi is non-existent outside of reception. Features include three outdoor pools, buffet and a la carte restaurants, a spa, and miles of lush trails for biking and horseback riding. Travelers looking for more of a boutique experience could also consider The Lodge at Chichen Itza, but rates are higher.
