They have an option to pack a to-go breakfast if you are getting up extra early to go to Calakmul, which was really nice of them. Everything else was OK.

The room was basic but very clean and comfortable. The owner helped us organize our trip to Calakmul and was really helpful as we arrived very late by bus (around midnight). Best price in town. Perfect for a night, probably not for a longer stay

Wonderful setting in the forest. You can slightly hear the highway, but the trees do a great deal to block the noise. Probably the best option for staying in Xpujil when comparing to other places to stay. The pictures definitely match what you get. The kitchenette has everything you need and they provide some snacks and a few cervezas to enjoy. I would not hesitate to stay here again. Facilities felt very safe and secure (gated). Wish we could have stayed another night.
Located in Xpujil, Ecohabitat features accommodation with seating area. With garden views, this accommodation offers a patio.

We stopped here to break the journey between Bacalar and Palenque. The place is in the middle of nowhere but we got a good night's sleep. There are one or maybe two of these cabins. They are a long way back from the road so you cannot hear the railway construction traffic. Breakfast was lovely as were the staff. Plenty of water, both hot and cold and the Aircon was needed for us. Adjacent to the property on the main road is a petrol station and there is a cafe there, Gouter Cafe that serves excellent food so there is no need to go into town to eat. The price is way above other places if better standing elsewhere in Mexico but when you are in the middle of nowhere and you need to stop ...

We stayed one night before visiting Calakmul ruins the next morning. The host was very friendly and gave us tips and recommendations for our trip to Calakmul ruins,
Facilities were better than expected (considering the simplicity and the appearance of the surrounding area), with a fridge, bottled water, toiletries... and sufficient for a overnight stay
Provided us a small lunch box at checkout, which was more than welcome.
It is well placed for some fascinating archaeology.
It is well placed for some fascinating archaeology.
But you need to be up for a "half horse" town.
To get to a basic restaurant we walked through the middle of roadworks.
Most roads giving access to the hotel were closed for road works and of course there are no diversions..you just work it out!
But the archaeology is fabulous though to get to Calakmul was a 3 hour drive each way .

Beautiful site right off the road.
Beautiful site right off the road. Walk to the Mirador Maya Hotel. The grounds are beautifully maintained, and as of September, 2023, you can climb everything. There's no pyramid, but the main structure is very tall and impressive. Bring bug spray. The mosquitoes are pretty intense.

Xpujil itself is not worth visiting.
Xpujil itself is not worth visiting. It is a good town to stay if you are travelling trough the area (for example when visiting Calakmul) and need a place to sleep. There is a small supermarket and a nice pizza restaurant. Be aware that there are only two banks and their ATM's at the time of our visit both of them did not have any money in them for two days.

Xpujil is located more or less at the center of the Calakmul...
Xpujil is located more or less at the center of the Calakmul municipality (which is large). Although this little town is not particularly oriented towards tourism, it is the best location to stay connected & have all services within easy reach so you can move between main sites and attractions around the Calakmul area.
Near Xpujil you will find from four to six striking archaeological sites and all of them are worth the visit. Of course, the most impressive one is Calakmul but there is plenty to do beyond that outstanding stop. For instance, you can ask a cab to take you to "Ejido 20 de Noviembre" and visit plenty of craft workshops (wood carving, embroidery by hand and by machine among others). I really enjoyed my visit to Hilos de Vida, Amanecer de Rio Bec & Artesanos Sabios since they give you a nice explanation on their crafts and sometimes they even offer a class for you to take (they also can get you a guide if you need translation aid).
Whether you are traveling with family, couple or by yourself, I really recommend to book no less than two nights in Casa Ka'an (about 8 to 10 minutes by car near Xpujil), 'cause they have everything you expect and a little bit more in a really cute jungle lodge composed by very independent villas which happen to be surrounded by the most wonderful environment. Needless to say that a chat with the manager (Nicolás) is always enlightening so if you catch him ask for his views on the area.
Last but no least... you will boost your experience in the region if you move around in a 4WD or even better in your own bike.

Not a lot of options for housing around the Calakmul...
Not a lot of options for housing around the Calakmul Biosphere. None are really close and you need a vehicle to get to the main part of the park. Xpujil, is little neighborhood town, not too close to ruins or highway. We enjoyed walking around town and looking at birds and the old frame houses.

Our only reason for staying in Xpujil was to visit Calakmul.
Our only reason for staying in Xpujil was to visit Calakmul. But as it turns out, it is not the closest lodging to go to the ruins. Conhuas is nearer and has a few hotels that would have worked better for our itinerary, since we were going west. The town of Xpujil has very little of interest and the meal we had was one of the least successful of our trip. We ate dinner at Sazon Veracruzana, sitting right on the dusty noisy main road (186) that runs through the town. It had the more favorable reviews in LP. Calakmul was a great experience though!
One of the closest hotels and villages to Calakmul, which is how we found the place to stay, still about 1 hour drive to the entrance at night. Xpujil has their own little archeological site and Becan is close by as well. In the village you find some shops, bakeries and taquerias. Try to go by the furniture manufacturer Adolfo and his father they make fantastic furniture (unfortunately most of them too big to take with us, we got some small souvenirs made of wood instead). Great grilled chicken, see pictures.
The room was very comfortable, had a kitchenette and patio with hammocks, good wifi. I highly recommend a trip to see the Volcan de los Murcielagos. About 25 minutes west every evening at around 6PM, a highlight of my Mexico trip this time. Guide was 75 pesos, about $4 US! The drive to Calakmul was very long, 1.5 to 2 hours each way from Xpujil. Calakmul is impressive but barely worth the drive. The highlights were spider monkeys and an ocelated turkey.
Brand new fully equipped cabana in the jungle. My husband thought we were going to rough it in Xpujil and was pleasantly surprised! Great shower with hot water, everything spotlessly clean. Hosts were great, they hung back but were available if we needed anything. They suggested an exceptional guide who picked us up early and took us to Calakmul and through the jungle to see monkeys, lots of birds, and a tapir even.
It’s something different than the usual hotels. the location was perfect with a free parking spot! There are 2 hammocks on the terrace, the bathroom is super cute and the welcome was amazing. the owner and his family would move mountains for their guests. you could ask them anything and they would do it in an instant. Really recommend this stay!
An excellent place to stop near Xpujil. Very little options in this area and these chalets in the natural enviroment were excellent. We stayed her for two separate nights when touring from the north of Yucatan to the South and Back.
Nice little restaurant and bar on site. All in all a very pleasant surprise.
The owner is an exceptionally nice lady, genuinely willing to help. Breakfast was just when and what we have asked for. The house (bungalow) is not for people that are looking for major chain hotels, but it is just fine for overnight stay in really small rural location in peninsula of Yucatan.
Spacious nice place close to Xpujil which was very clean and well taken care off. The beds are comfortable and the chill-out area in front is nice to relax, do some yoga or read a book. Good location to explore close by ruins or visit Calakmul and only short drive from restaurants in Xpujil.
it's about 2 mins walk from the bus station which (when you arrive in pouring rain) is a real bonus. The rooms are spacious, functional and very clean. The hotel were extremely helpful in suggesting a local tour guide to take us to Calakmul. it's close to one of the shopping streets.
Such a great hotel at a very reasonable price. Everyone was very friendly and helpful when it came to organizing transportation to archeological sites. The room was huge and so clean. Nice breakfast at a decent price. We enjoyed visiting Xpujil, calakmul and Becan from here.
location, best in Xpujil a bit down the highway so no noise, very new so very comfortable with perfect showers, quiet, perfect mattresses and even a coffee for the morning. a perfect stop to or from the Calakmul temples. gracias !!
Very nice owner - he waited for us until late at night as we were coming with the last bus to the city. He gave us all tips how to visit ruins nearby. Location is very good, near bus station and nice places to eat
We booked this hotel as we wanted to visit Calakmul and the small village of Xpuijl is the best starting point for that. As we did not plan to explore Xpuijl itself, the location of the hotel was fine.
The staff is very friendly, they asked if we were interested in tours, that is good customer service, it feels like home plus the rooms have A/C, which is amazing since Xpujil is extremely hot!
simple hotel but very practical and with good hot shower and wifi. Big parking area, very good restaurant and staff very very kind! A top choice for budget travelers, I liked a lot…
so peaceful and relaxing. waking up to the sounding the birds. beautiful hiking trail on the property. we hiked to the archaeological ruins!!!! very nice people.
