The staff was kind and helpful. We were happy to find some snacks and water in the fridge after a long trip. The restaurant proposes a nice variety of tasty dishes. From our patio we could hear howling monkeys from afar. The beds were comfy and we really rested well.

Comfortable stop to visit Calakmul. Good value for money. If you’re not looking for something too fancy you’ll find a nice property with clean rooms and fresh sheets. There’s a restaurant serving till 10 pm, so we managed to dine even arriving late.
They texted me I should pay cash upon arrival, but then the credit card worked fine.

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

The cabin is very comfortable, has a lot of space and is very complete. It has a small kitchen with a refrigerator, coffee machine and microwave including some complementary suppliers. We immediately felt very welcome. It is located in a small wooded area just of the main road.

The ambiance outside and the 'terrace' :)
The host was also very friendly: he first warned us about the closing of Calakmul on the date we planned to go and could modify our reservation accordingly. We also arrived really late and had to leave at 4 am the next morning; they prepared us a breakfast at 11 pm so we could take it with us in the morning to go and visit Calakmul !
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!
Basic but comfy hotel in this rather sweet but dusty truck stop of a tiny town. Very useful to check out all the local ruins, not just Calmakal but Beccan and Cicannia, along with walking along to the ruins in Xpuil. Hotel was fine, room was cool, air con worked well, hot water. All very basic but clean and safe and with a pool, which was nice to use after a long hot day exploring ruins. Good value stay.
A perfect base for exploring Maya sites at Xpujil and beyond. Clean, spacious rooms with all necessary facilities. Big plus was the unexpectedly nice breakfast, lunch, dinner area with very friendly staff and value for money food (there aren't that many dining options in Xpujil).
Having a whole house for that price is just insane. The house is super charming and comfortable. We thought we needed airconditioning but it gets almost chilly at night so this was perfect. Waking up in nature is great too. We couldn't have asked for a better stay in Xpujil.
Nice, simple hotel just off the main road so really convenient for restaurants and shops in the main street of Xpujil. Clean rooms, plenty of space, friendly staff. No frills but an excellent stopover between Calakmul and the coast.
Marvelous place to relax after a strenuous day through Calakmul ruins and forest. The space in front of our room was incredible and enabled us to fully enjoy our time in Xpujil
