What to expect: The Lodge at Uxmal allows guests immediate access to the adjacent Mayan ruins and is a good home base for exploring other area attractions. With acres of gardens and tropical plants, the hotel offers a relatively no-frills environment and is popular for short stays with families and couples who are interested in getting away from the city and surrounding themselves with the wonders of the ancient Mayan civilization. Amenity highlights: The rooms, restaurant, and even pool grounds seem to blend in with the jungle and surrounding Mayan ruins. Several archaeological sites have even been discovered on the hotel grounds and are protected. A green lawn and acacia and tamarind trees lend to the lush surroundings. Guests have access to tennis and volleyball courts at nearby hotels. Insider tip: Guests can celebrate a special occasion with a balcony serenade, performed by a local musical trio and sung in the traditional Mayan language.
La Palapa - This thatched-roof restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
