This is a good midrange option with substantial online discounts, and kids will dig the hotel's two pools (one has a rock bottom). The 32 semi-rustic rooms won't wow you, but they're comfy enough. Dolores Alba offers transport to Chichén Itzá at 8am, but you're on your own getting back. It's opposite the Ik Kil Parque Eco-Arqueológico, 5km from Chichén Itzá's entrance.
