9.2/10 Wonderful! (292 reviews)
Friendly and helpful staff. Very safe and mellow vibe in the middle of the Santiago neighborhood, which feels like a middle class area. Spacious room and great bed. Nicely maintained grounds and pool. It’s about 1 mile from the heart of the historical district, or roughly a 15 minute walk.

Okay. Everyone says that it is VERY expensive to go to Ek' Balam since prices have gone up. Go and have fun! Get a guide! Bring a swimsuit and go to the cenote! Splurge! Eat at the restaurant next to the cenote ($10 for one dish of cochinito pibil, 2 beers and an agua de tamarindo), and then take a siesta in the hammocks and go back to the cenote. We rented bikes from the ruins to the cenote and it was an easy 15 minute ride. In the end, we had a wonderful day and no crowds.
