About 300m from the Chichén Itzá entrance, this resort sits on the well-manicured grounds of a 16th-century hacienda with an elegant main house and towering ceiba trees. The archaeologists who excavated Chichén during the 1920s lived here in bungalows, which have been refurbished and augmented with new ones. Monthly activities on offer include Maya cooking classes and bird-watching.
One additional plus is that the spot has a private entrance to the ruins, meaning you get to skip the lines. The restaurant's prices are eye-opening (be warned), and the wi-fi is only in the public areas.
