Santa Cruz Cabins has mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking, situated in Santa Elena, 4.2 km from Cahal Pech. With garden views, this accommodation features a balcony. Rooms have a patio with views of the inner courtyard.

Could not be better! Tony and Juliet are the most wonderful hosts I have ever encountered. Be sure to order the home-cooked breakfasts. Resting in the hammock on the screened porch with amazing views was heaven. The cabins have all you need - tub, microwave, full-size fridge, full water jug, comfy bed, beautiful local paintings. The perfect jumping off point for our San Ignacio adventures. Convenient to everything, yet felt like you were in the jungle.

This place has the best view of both, the Square and Burns Street!!! It is located close to everything: bars, restaurants, shops, supermarket, the market, cafes and the bus stop. The rooms are spacious and the beds and pillows super comfortable. Nice-size shower, as well. The Receptionists were extremely friendly and helped me with lots of information, specially since it was a National Holiday and I was not aware that lots of services were not running as usual, so they helped me to prepare and this saved my days as I had to be in BC on time for my flight, they even helped to print out my boarding pass!!!!
