"All the staff were lovely. The location was perfect, right next to Chichen Itza. The food at the restaurant was very good. Prices were reasonable. Everything was great."

"A Solid Base for Exploring Chichen Itza From Cancun Airport to Hotel/Chichen Itza: -Cancun Airport to Cancun Downtown by ADO bus, cost 180 Mexican Pesos, time 35mins. (1st bus starts at 7.50AM). Tickets can be bought at the time of departure. -Cancun Downtown to Hotel/Chichen Itza by bus, cost 280 Mexican Pesos per person, time 4hrs. -Chichen Itza ticket cost 671 Mexican Pesos (can be bought at the time of visit). We recently stayed at Hotel Doralba and found it to be a very good choice for visiting the famous ruins. The property is very large and spacious, which is great for families. The highlight for us was the swimming pool area, which has a dedicated section for children and a separate, larger pool for adults. Our room was cleaned daily and was always tidy and comfortable. For the price, we felt it offered excellent value. A few important things to note for future guests: · Location & Transportation: The hotel is within walking distance to the ruins(2km walk). For Taxi, It is about a 5km drive away. We used a taxi which was readily available and cost 100 Mexican pesos for a one-way trip. · Dining Options: Be aware that there are no restaurants or shopping centers near the hotel. At hotel you have very few option that also non veg. As vegetarians, we were a little worried, but the staff went above and beyond to accommodate us. They even arranged to have extra vegetable dishes brought in from outside—a incredibly kind and thoughtful gesture that we truly appreciated. Suggestion: Do not forgot to bring your own extra food too."

"Such an experience"

"Old school and very stylish hotel. 10 minutes by car away from the train station and from Chichen Itza itself. They offer bike rental as well. Good breakfast."

"Don Luis is wonderful and so welcoming—the breakfast was good, the place is as described, and he was very helpful with directions etc. We did get some mosquito bites, which is to be expected when in the jungle, but they weren’t too bad and there are mosquito nets over the beds. Would return!"

"The hotel is just next to Chichen Itza, but the private entrance has not been available since 2020. They should make this more clear. The site has wonderful potential but has become very dated and uncared for. The service was very passive and did not seem to care much. The room was quite dark and the lighting available was poor. The split worked for air conditioning but the heat option was disabled which made the 12 degree night quite cold. The bathroom was ok except the toilet mechanism which created a leak that recurred several times in spite of informing the staff. While instructed not to drink the water or brush teeth with it, they only provided 500ml of water per person. Asking for more was problematic - I was told to go to the bar where there were no staff members, only construction people renovating...The food from the kitchen was quite good once it came - only the restaurant service was painfully slow and they were out of about 25% of the things on the menu (guacamole, shrimp, chocolate cake to name a few). Overall very disappointing, not just for our stay, but for the lost potential of the property."
