Paradise in the middle of the madness
Reviewed By travels_galaxyWe stayed here for a few days while driving across Mexico and it was paradise in the middle of the madness (especially during Covid). We had the hotel mostly to ourselves and it was the perfect place to rest and relax for a few days before getting back on the road. Thanks to all the staff, especially Victor and Renee (the owner).

The city center is just a 10-minute drive away.
Magic stay at Cabañas
Reviewed By billyb296I loved the time we spent here at the Cabañas Kin Balam. The attention to details is second to none. The service the guys provide here is top and you can never go wrong visiting. The atmosphere is magical, after a day at the pool you can chill in the restaurant with fantastic food and nice people to hang around. My visit was super nice despite the fact that, at the end, I ran into a bit of trouble as I left the hostel leaving my passport behind. When I realised it I was already on the road to a new city but as soon as I got in touch with the team at Kim Balam they reassured me that they had it and immediately arranged a courier to get the passport safe in my hand despite being in a different city! Jessica and the Kin Balam team where so kind and efficient that I will never forget the time spent there. Thanks a million for making me feel at home!!!

Beautiful place with amazing people

They helped with our pre-departure COVID testing and helped arrange tours with really great tour guides. So much to see in the jungle on the property - birds, monkeys, bats, crocodiles, all safe and fun to see. Highly recommended!

so bad
Reviewed By nomosThe positive reviews confuse me. Mision Palenque is worse than you'd find in a Motel 6 in the States. Rating something like that high at this price point is odd. We stayed there thinking it was the best option in Palenque. That may be - but it is so bad. Checking in was a challenge because they have young kids doing their best - but you're competing with the herds that roll in off the tourist busses when you try to check in. It is absolute chaos. The place is dated and run down. We weren't given a remote for the a/c when we checked in (you have to ask for it) and it is so hot. It took 3 staff members and about 30 minutes for them to figure out how to get the a/c to turn on. The rooms are basic and noise from the masses make it very loud. Again, this is equivalent to a very cheap and run down motel in the US at a price much higher. The restaurant was a worse experience. Staff was very cold - but they warm up and then we found them to be friendly. They probably have to put up with a lot of difficult situations. The food is very bad. Not just the taste - but the consequences. I spent the entire night dealing with that misery. It made for a terrible experience in the archeological ruins the following day. If you are going to stay at this hotel - I'd caution you to not eat the food. Overall, you should avoid this place. It is so bad.

STOLEN CAMERA AND DRONE
Reviewed By tonyhawk9We stayed in the hotel 2 nights, after check out we asked the staff to store our luggage for a couple of hours before we leave the city and we discovered that a camera (which wasn't working btw) and dron were stolen. Dron was put in a back and instead of the dron, someone put filled bottle of water to fake it. Because we were in rush and backpacks were the way we left them, we just took them and left....... I called the staff right after I discovered it and they pretended that they didn't understand me and were asking me whether I wanna book night or not. The person who took it, must have known it or I can't understand how someone from a street could do it... VERY DISAPPOINTED and btw ATM on the main street is scammed in Palenque, they stole money also from our bank account. Please don't withdraw any money in any atms in Palenque.

Satisfactory hotel but poor staff
Reviewed By GSzymanWe stayed at this hotel for 3 nights. We were travelling with two small kids - 3 and 5 y.o. We arrived on the night bus from Merida at 5 am and the staff was nice to let us into the room. The hotel is located opposite the ADO terminal, which was very convenient. It is also close to where the collectivos to Frontera Corozal stand, 5 mins from the collectivos to Occosingo (eg. Agua Azul), and 5 mins from a big supermarket. The location is very good in general. The room was clean, sensibly organized (i.e. there was place to put your stuff), AC was working fine, etc. A minor inconvenience was that there was never hot water in the evening, only in the morning. The Wifi in the hotel was poor. No luck uploading a picture to Facebook. The staff didn't speak English and was not very helpful. They "didn't know" where the collectivos are, and every question about getting somewhere ended with "get an organized tour". The hotel also had a nice swimming pool.

You Get What You Pay For
Reviewed By JoeBenevidesMaya Rue was difficult to find since it wasn’t in our GPS. We called for directions and the young lady at the front desk made no effort to find anyone who spoke English. We finally had a taxi drive show us the way. The only parking is on the chaotic street. When we arrived there happened to be a space so the same young lady who was no help with directions ran out and put parking cones up so we could get the car in place before someone else took it. We found it amusing that street vendors set up shop right behind our car so people were leaning against it eating their ice-cream. No harm done. The room was small, but you get what you pay for. At least it was near shopping and restaurants just 2 blocks away from the town square. The breakfast was minimal, with just coffee, OJ, a banana and toast.

Clean but not much hot water
Reviewed By kirans445The rooms are clean and the cleaners are very good and effective. The rooms are comfortable and beds are great. The air conditioning works. Hot water was my issue here. I think the tank was small so I had mainly warm to cold showers! It was fine for me because the weather was so hot. The WiFi was another issue for me. It didn’t work very well in the room but was fine downstairs. They have a laundry service too.
