The hut was beautiful and very luxurious. At first arrival we thought the jungle was a bit meh, but in actuality we saw many birds right from our terrace. Including several Tucans (our hut was called Tucán). Dinner was very nice. Breakfast box to take to Calakmul was very convenient. Very relaxing place.

Very good value, walking distance to the bus station. Oscar was super friendly, helped organise transport to Calakmul for the very best price we could find. Cabin was basic but comfortable, mozzy net included. In terms of being a place to sleep for one night so you can visit an incredible Mayan site (Calakmul), this was good.

Great place to stay! No frills but the staff are very friendly, there are a couple of fans in the room to help make the temp cooler, and a bug net for keeping the mosquitos out. I would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful setting in the forest. You can slightly hear the highway, but the trees do a great deal to block the noise. Probably the best option for staying in Xpujil when comparing to other places to stay. The pictures definitely match what you get. The kitchenette has everything you need and they provide some snacks and a few cervezas to enjoy. I would not hesitate to stay here again. Facilities felt very safe and secure (gated). Wish we could have stayed another night.

We stopped here to break the journey between Bacalar and Palenque. The place is in the middle of nowhere but we got a good night's sleep. There are one or maybe two of these cabins. They are a long way back from the road so you cannot hear the railway construction traffic. Breakfast was lovely as were the staff. Plenty of water, both hot and cold and the Aircon was needed for us. Adjacent to the property on the main road is a petrol station and there is a cafe there, Gouter Cafe that serves excellent food so there is no need to go into town to eat. The price is way above other places if better standing elsewhere in Mexico but when you are in the middle of nowhere and you need to stop ...
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!
It's a no-frills landing pad in a small jungle town, about all you'd expect or need for value accommodations here. The room was basic, but clean and comfortable. The staff was helpful and accommodating, letting us park our car inside the gate in a very busy, lively neighborhood. Close to everything of relevance in town, and a perfect, simple base for an overnight stay while on your way to Bacalar or to explore the ruins at Calakmul.
Stayed here two nights in order to get to Calakmul Ruins. The hotel is exactly what it needs to be. An affordable comfortable place with a store nearby and restaurant attached. The room was small and the grounds were basic but that was perfect for us because it keeps the price low. Also the staff helped to organize a car to get to the ruins the next day which was invaluable! The wifi was strong enough to work from.
Moises was very kind and helpful, and always ready to assist via text. The insect sounds at night are beautiful. Everything was exceptionally clean and professional in the details. Nice big property with lots of trees. Appreciated the fruit, snacks and drinks. The air plants on the property were beautiful. We slept very well. It was such a nice place to come back to relax in after long days spent exploring ruins.
I did not expect to find such nice accommodations in Xpujil. The room was very comfortable, spacious, and modern with a small fridge and coffee maker and a TV. The patio hammock was one of the most comfortable hammocks I've ever been in. Host was incredibly nice. I did not use the available communal kitchen space. I would absolutely stay here again.
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 slightly outside of Xpujil, so you don't have the noise or pollution (mainly dust) problems that you have in town. You can still walk into town in about 10 minutes. The breakfast is EXCELLENT, and the owners are happy to assist with whatever questions or needs you have. AC works great, although it can be quite cool at night naturally.
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.
Great location embedded in the heart of a jungle but easily accessible from Xpujil and the main road. The bungalow is well equipped with everything we needed to prepare for a trip to Calakmul and a rest afterward. The staff was super friendly, and so was the restaurant and the breakfast.
Having a whole house for that price is just insane. The house is super charming and comfortable. We thought we needed airconditioning but it gets almost chilly at night so this was perfect. Waking up in nature is great too. We couldn't have asked for a better stay in Xpujil.
Absolutely amazing stay in this family run hotel in the center of Valladolid! The hotel was great, awesome pool, lovely clean rooms with aircon! The host was so helpful and gave us loads of tips and restaurant suggestions! Breakfasts were also a lovely touch! Highly recommend!
The communication with the hotel owner was great and very supportive. Helped me get the cheapest way around getting the bat cave. jungle and pyramids tour. The place is also a pizza restaurant at the front with great prices.
Nice little hotel with friendly staff, great for a short stopover before a visit to Calakmul. The hammocks and pool were a great place to relax and cool off. There is also free parking.
