The hotel is affordable. It's great that they have a restaurant which is open all day from breakfast till dinner. The restaurant staff was helpful, they also warmed a bottle of milk for our daughter before bedtime.
Of course we came to visit Calakmul, which is still >1 hour away, but there's just not many options to stay somewhere closer.

Wonderful place in the "jungle". We stayed here for two nights to arrange the Calakmul visit and we are very happy with our decision. Everything was nice: a big bed, kitchenette, cleanliness in the bungalow, jungle surroundings. Thanks to the host.

We loved our stay at Cabañas Aldea! The smaller cabin was already taken during the dates we wanted to book so we ended up booking the larger two bedroom cabin and we loved it! We felt so cozy and comfortable there. It was so quiet and a perfect place to rest after our days exploring Calakmul and the surrounding ruins. I highly recommend it as a place to stay when visiting this region!

We had such a great stay at Ecohabitat in Xpujil! Our favourite stop yet on our Mexican road trip. Breakfast was awesome and is included! We got the choice of quesadilla or eggs and everything comes with fruit and toast and coffee or tea. Always served on time and delicious. Room was very clean and tidy and staff were friendly and helpful. Big shoutout to Jorge who was our lovely receptionist, maintenance man, cleaner, and server. He was kind enough to unlock our room at 9:30pm after I accidentally locked us out. Hotel is along a major trucking route, but the hotel makes this very clear and it wasn’t a surprise. Pretty much everywhere along this route has been affected by the Tren Maya construction. Noise was covered up by A/C which was awesome. Private parking is a great bonus. Such a cute place and great access to Calakmul. We also loved the covered patio and spent evening out there listening to the crickets.
Located in Xpujil, Eco Aldea kinich Ahau provides accommodations with free WiFi and a garden with a terrace and mountain views.

The cabin was spacious, practical, and fun. The water pressure was good in the shower, coffee pot worked well, and the bed was comfy. The trail through the jungle is awesome- I saw three spider monkeys and lots of birds and lizards. Really beautiful and well done. It seems like this place is expanding and being made with care.

The staff were very kind and helpful. Breakfast in the morning is in a comfotlrtable palapa in an intimate setting, and was excellent. There is an undiscovered Mayan mound from the Becan Archaeological Site in the garden just south of the palapa.
It is well placed for some fascinating archaeology.
It is well placed for some fascinating archaeology.
But you need to be up for a "half horse" town.
To get to a basic restaurant we walked through the middle of roadworks.
Most roads giving access to the hotel were closed for road works and of course there are no diversions..you just work it out!
But the archaeology is fabulous though to get to Calakmul was a 3 hour drive each way .

Beautiful site right off the road.
Beautiful site right off the road. Walk to the Mirador Maya Hotel. The grounds are beautifully maintained, and as of September, 2023, you can climb everything. There's no pyramid, but the main structure is very tall and impressive. Bring bug spray. The mosquitoes are pretty intense.

Xpujil itself is not worth visiting.
Xpujil itself is not worth visiting. It is a good town to stay if you are travelling trough the area (for example when visiting Calakmul) and need a place to sleep. There is a small supermarket and a nice pizza restaurant. Be aware that there are only two banks and their ATM's at the time of our visit both of them did not have any money in them for two days.

Xpujil is located more or less at the center of the Calakmul...
Xpujil is located more or less at the center of the Calakmul municipality (which is large). Although this little town is not particularly oriented towards tourism, it is the best location to stay connected & have all services within easy reach so you can move between main sites and attractions around the Calakmul area.
Near Xpujil you will find from four to six striking archaeological sites and all of them are worth the visit. Of course, the most impressive one is Calakmul but there is plenty to do beyond that outstanding stop. For instance, you can ask a cab to take you to "Ejido 20 de Noviembre" and visit plenty of craft workshops (wood carving, embroidery by hand and by machine among others). I really enjoyed my visit to Hilos de Vida, Amanecer de Rio Bec & Artesanos Sabios since they give you a nice explanation on their crafts and sometimes they even offer a class for you to take (they also can get you a guide if you need translation aid).
Whether you are traveling with family, couple or by yourself, I really recommend to book no less than two nights in Casa Ka'an (about 8 to 10 minutes by car near Xpujil), 'cause they have everything you expect and a little bit more in a really cute jungle lodge composed by very independent villas which happen to be surrounded by the most wonderful environment. Needless to say that a chat with the manager (Nicolás) is always enlightening so if you catch him ask for his views on the area.
Last but no least... you will boost your experience in the region if you move around in a 4WD or even better in your own bike.

Not a lot of options for housing around the Calakmul...
Not a lot of options for housing around the Calakmul Biosphere. None are really close and you need a vehicle to get to the main part of the park. Xpujil, is little neighborhood town, not too close to ruins or highway. We enjoyed walking around town and looking at birds and the old frame houses.

Our only reason for staying in Xpujil was to visit Calakmul.
Our only reason for staying in Xpujil was to visit Calakmul. But as it turns out, it is not the closest lodging to go to the ruins. Conhuas is nearer and has a few hotels that would have worked better for our itinerary, since we were going west. The town of Xpujil has very little of interest and the meal we had was one of the least successful of our trip. We ate dinner at Sazon Veracruzana, sitting right on the dusty noisy main road (186) that runs through the town. It had the more favorable reviews in LP. Calakmul was a great experience though!
We had a wonderful stay at the hotel Templo Maya. The room was very nice, clean and comfortable, with private bathroom and A. C. and two big beds. It’s only a 5-minutes walk from the center. Our host and her daughter were outstandingly nice; despite the language barrier we could always communicate very well. Her kindness and warmth made our stay even better ; the restaurant is also very nice (shoutout to the amazing guacamole). We would definitely stay there again and recommend it to anyone staying a few nights in Xpujil.
We loved staying here, we even extended our stay by one night. The owner is really friendly and helpful, and the general vibe is great. Decent pool and a nice little restaurant with a wide selection. Our room was very big with great shower. I liked the quiet location away from Xpujil, great value for money, and it's a good base to explore the area. If you are looking for a bit of a hike, go to Hormiguero, there are some trails next to the ruins. Also, Becan and Chicana are worth visiting.
Small family run business, is very well located and quiet, off the main road, which was very dusty and very noisy with all the construction work associated with Tren Maya. It was 10 min walk from the bus station and 10 min walk to the Xpujil Mayan site. The room was clean and basic, with a very comfortable bed. Great shower, hot water, high pressure. We could pre-order breakfasts to have in our room or lunchboxes for the next day. We tried a breakfast and it was good.
Casa Las Lolas and its very kind owner, Arturo, entirely exceeded expectations in the middle of the jungle. Our cabin was spacious, had a comfortable king bed, was SPOTLESS and equipped with A/C, fan, mini-fridge, coffeemaker (and coffee & sugar), closet space with hangers, and the most incredible shower with strong, hot water pressure. I can't imagine finding a better, more comfortable and more thoughtfully equipped place to stay in Xpujil. Highly recommend!
The property is a rural hotel in a village lost in the middle of a tropical forest. There were some imperfections, but overall the standard was high given the circumstances. The room was clean, dry, airy, and had a working AC. The wifi connection was quite good too. There is a hotel restaurant serving simple and good meals. All the staff was very friendly and nice to talk to (in Spanish).
It’s something different than the usual hotels. the location was perfect with a free parking spot! There are 2 hammocks on the terrace, the bathroom is super cute and the welcome was amazing. the owner and his family would move mountains for their guests. you could ask them anything and they would do it in an instant. Really recommend this stay!
Very calm location in a secluded forest. The village Xpujil can be quite noisy due to the many trucks taht are crossing the village on the main road. The Cabañas Aldea Maya (actually just one recently finished, another one under construction and some planned) offererd everything we needed during our stay. We highly reccomend it for couples.
It’s extremely close to the ADO. The Pizzeria in front of the hotel has excellent food, the staff were very friendly and the room, while small, was very comfortable, great AC and a nice hot shower. You can even arrange all of the trips to the ruins and the bat cave! Just outstanding
Xpujil hotel is a good choice for travelers heading to Calakmul. The hotel is clean and calm, the room is faithful to photos.
Staff is very polite and responsive. The hotel counts with a private parking, and it’s possible to order food.
We would recommend this place for one night.
Room / Hotel — spacious, clean, has everything you need for a basic sleeping experience. Safe and very sound proof for a good night’s rest.
Wifi — worked well enough.
Location — close to many good restaurants, as well as the Becan & Calakmul ruins.
Location was perfect if you are looking to visit the breathtaking ruins of Calakmul. These are beautiful and super clean small cabins in the middle of the jungle. The staff was super nice. They even have a small restaurant on site with great food!
Simple hotel with everything you need (internet, toilet, perfect warm water etc.). I arrived late in the evening and the person at the reception helped me out to organize a last-minute visit to Calakmul ruins. So staff very helpful and friendly.
convenient to go to Calakmul reserve. note that the time zone changes right in the roundabout near the hotel - we woke up an hour earlier due to this confusion and could not have breakfast
simple hotel but very practical and with good hot shower and wifi. Big parking area, very good restaurant and staff very very kind! A top choice for budget travelers, I liked a lot…
Marvelous place to relax after a strenuous day through Calakmul ruins and forest. The space in front of our room was incredible and enabled us to fully enjoy our time in Xpujil
so peaceful and relaxing. waking up to the sounding the birds. beautiful hiking trail on the property. we hiked to the archaeological ruins!!!! very nice people.
