“Feel the heartbeat of Chichen Itza”

This is a special place. Built in 1923 within the ancient ruins of Chichen Itza, it used to have its own private, direct access to the site. Since Covid this entrance has been closed.

This is a special place. Built in 1923 within the ancient ruins of Chichen Itza, it used to have its own private, direct access to the site. Since Covid this entrance has been closed. They do need to be more clear about this on their web-page and advertising. Irregardless - you must stay here. It is enchanting. You stay here for the history. If you are driving your own rental this is perfect. We stayed in the hotel with a wonderful balcony overlooking the back. Losing their private entrance has caused a decline in the number of guests. We really enjoyed the introduction to Chichen Itza they had in English at the replica of the observatory on the grounds. View it your first night. Their restaurant is great and the staff so nice. We stayed 3 nights and the morning we left we had a traditional Tezmacal cleansing sauna - you have to read about it! It is free. This is a gem of a bygone era - it needs a lot upkeep - they do the best they can. I pray their private entrance opens again to bring back their former grandeur. The only downside - and it is big - is no drinking water provided - none - not even in the rooms. You have to buy bottles - you have to beg to get yours refilled. They need to change this. You will truly feel the magic of Chichen Itza if you stay here.

“An amazing and historic hotel”

We had booked a trip to Cancun but wanted to visit the ruins site but on our own timeline, not on a tour, so we rented a car and booked a room at Mayaland. We arrived late, around dinner and it was dark, and I was a bit concerned having read a few other reviews (being renovated, no Internet, no hot water). I'm so glad I didn't let these reviews guide me. Upon arrival we were greeted at our car by a bell hop who gladly took out luggage and led us to the front desk. Sign in was easy and they took our luggage to our room. The bell hop showed us around the room and left us to change for dinner. The room itself was quite big, with a nice porch, a huge bathroom with both a Jacuzzi tub and a shower, and the water got super hot! There are no TVs, but no big deal. Dinner was had on the back porch of the restaurant and it was very nice. Nothing crazy, but nice. We stayed in the main house but walked the grounds around the many bungalows and fell in love with the place. It appeared they had some being renovated, I would have loved to stay in one as they seem exclusive. The staff was very helpful and kind. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone traveling to the ruins (which are literally across the street!) There's a reason presidents and famous folks frequent there, it's amazing!

“Has a new name”

Though still listed here as the Mayaland and some hotel sites the Hotel currently has a new name Hotel Ikal Chichen Itza, though most signage hasn't caught up with this.

Though still listed here as the Mayaland and some hotel sites the Hotel currently has a new name Hotel Ikal Chichen Itza, though most signage hasn't caught up with this. Anyways it is the same place as I have stayed a couple of times before, the rooms are pleasant and large and the observatory view rooms are worth the extra. Staff continue to be great and helpful Catering is a bit hit and miss with the food being a bit bland and unexciting and relatively expensive.
