Just across the street from the Uxmal Pyramids, and a 40 minutes' drive from Merida. This historic resort offers an outdoor pool and a working plantation filled with fruit trees and jogging trails.
Set a 2-minute walk from the traditional village of Santa Elena, The Pickled Onion Eco-Boutique B&B features charming thatched bungalows, an outdoor pool and a restaurant.
Posada El Jardín is an eco-friendly property that offers free Wi-Fi in public areas, sun terraces by the outdoor pool, and a palapa that serves coffee for a fee.
Spent about 3 hours at Uxmal site. Lots of large sites to see and you can wander at your own pace. It was my favorite of the sites we visited on the trip. Tickets and entry could be clearer and signage at sites in Mexico is always lacking, but the quality of the ruins and architecture is fantastic. The scale, intimacy of the visit, and amount of ruins is superb.

To really get to experience Mayan culture, the near by towns...
To really get to experience Mayan culture, the near by towns and cenotes and more archeological sites I would recommend a week in Uxmal .
I loved every minute we were there .
I would also recommend having a much spending money as possible, not because things are expensive it is that there is so much to do and it will cost money .
Horse riding , vintage 4WD hire , the prices for the sites and tours has risen due to the pandemic .
Also supporting local artists .

The site is wonderful and the hotel was surrounded by orchards birds flowers amazing palms. A couple of small interesting local museums with animals local Mayan customs and chocolate cultivation. The Lodge restaurant which also belonged to the hacienda estate was a short walk and of a high standard.

We traveled by car because my older sister has specific food needs due to ALS. A blender, two boxes of food and a cooler were graciously hauled to and from our room by the hotel staff. They could not have been more accommodating and helped to supplement her diet with fresh food from the kitchen.
It was my sister's fifth and probably final trip to the awe inspiring sites of the Yucatan. We are so grateful for the experience.

Uxmal charges US citizen 4 times regular admission.
Uxmal charges US citizen 4 times regular admission. Hotel Uxmal Maya charges 33% more for using US money or cards. Do not go if you don’t want to feel ripped off. Nothing special about hotel as at every turn you have to be guarded about being ripped off.

The bed was very firm and the hot water took a little longer than I would like but everything else was just fantastic. The food was amazing the staff tried to help us find anything we were looking for. It was a nice welcoming place to stay
The grounds were wonderful and right next door to the amazing site of Uxmal. Two very pretty swimming pools. I was the only swimmer due to the lack of customers. (Good for me, a shame for the ground staff and hotel. Pandemic review) The room was spacious with some beautiful timber work. Large, comfortable bed. Dining at the restaurant; big, fresh breakfast and in the evening there's a sound and light show next door that drifts its magic drums and singing over.
We were upgraded to The Lodge at Uxmal, which is a beautiful hotel. Our room overlooked the pool, which was the best pool of our holiday, and the room was huge! The entrance to the ruins was visible from our balcony, so a quick walk in the morning! Breakfast was buffet and open at 7 so we were easily at the ticket office by 8 and enjoyed the ruins more or less to ourselves.
Amazing property. So peaceful and relaxing. Luis(Rex) was very friendly, helpful and resourceful. He recommend us a tour guide for Uxmal and we love this tour because it was very informative. All staff in hotel is friendly and helpful. We wish to stay a couple of days more in this wonderful hotel. A breakfast was amazing!!! Hope we to visit this place in future again.
We ended up being upgraded to the sister hotel, the Lodge, like many other reviewers, and it was, of course, excellent. Our room was beautiful, the pool was a treat, and the proximity to the Uxmal Archaeological Site was super. We enjoyed our two nights there!
Nice hacienda style building. Some of the rooms have hosted famous people which is fun to read about. The pool area is nice and a great spot to take a break after sightseeing at Uxmal. We got a large room - which was quite large, but a little dark.
The hotel is located at the feet of the archeological area, mystical sounds at night make you feel in maya mood. Very enjoyable. Good margaritas and good food. The room is large and clean.
we enjoyed a lot the swimming pool after the visit. thanks
The location within the jungle and proximity to Uxmal, archaeological site; the swimming pool. The elder attendant that helped carry my luggage out to my car. That there was an on-site free parking lot.
Being low season, they upgraded us to the Lodge location, very convenient for Uxmal (opposite to the entrance). The room, with a spa bath; the plunge in the swimming pools. The restaurant and the staff.
Pancho is not only a great host who knows how things work in Mexico. He is also a master at coffee making and a wizzard at temazcal. The latter especially was an impressive experience.
The view from my room was wonderful. I could see buildings in Uxmal Archeological Site. Restaurant/bar was good. Staff was efficient and polite. Bed and pillows were comfortable.
