From £ 67
Guest User: 酒店位置優越，就在大巴站對面，交通方便。房間算比較寬敞，但是酒店有點年代了，設施老舊，還算乾淨，前台工作人員比較冷淡（墨西哥普遍服務態度挺好，這個酒店算例外）；有個泳池不過沒使用。

Carretera a Supermanzana KM 1 5
From £ 31
Guest User: A surprisingly nice hotel with a clean spacious room, including interior air conditioning and a private balcony. The hotel includes spaces to relax, a decent restaurant offering some local cuisine choices. It is also well located for easy taxi access to the airport and Tren Maya station, and it is walkable to reach the town (although not a scenic walk along the main road - but there is a big supermarket 10 minutes down the road which is a handy to buy snacks for day excursions).

A Must-Visit Baroque Gem in Vienna
The Schronbrunn Palace is a stunning example of Baroque architecture and a UNESCO world heritage site. Conveniently accessible from central Vienna with reliable transport options, it’s a must-see for anyone visiting the city. While tickets can be pricey, many areas are free to explore, including the charming gardens. Here, you can stroll through winding paths, wooded spots, admire the majestic Neptune Fountain, discover Roman ruins, and relax in pleasant surroundings with nearby cafes. The Palace itself is worth the price of admission. The basic ticket offers access solely to the Palace, but I recommend at least the Classic Pass. This option includes entry to the Labyrinth, Gloriette, Orangery, and Prince’s gardens, providing good value for money. The Palace tour, complete with an audio guide, is both beautiful and educational and takes less than an hour. However, the additional sights included in the Classic Pass make the extra cost worthwhile. The gardens are impeccably maintained, the Gloriette offers breathtaking views of Vienna, and the Orangery showcases exotic plants and an impressive Roman-style heating system with detailed explanations. With a Classic Pass, plan to spend 4-5 hours exploring the entire site as there’s much more to enjoy beyond just the Palace.
