Everything was exceptional. We stayed in the Lima Casita. It was very clean, well stocked and thoughtfully appointed. The bed was comfortable and the linens were high quality. Beautiful location nestled in the jungle. The staff are all locals and the kindest people you will ever meet, as are the owners. You'll fall in love with the resident dogs. We ate every meal on our 3 night stay in their restaurant. The breakfast that is included with your reservation was fantastic. Many choices, you won't leave hungry. And their margaritas are ridiculously good! We will definitely come back.

We had such a great stay at Ecohabitat in Xpujil! Our favourite stop yet on our Mexican road trip. Breakfast was awesome and is included! We got the choice of quesadilla or eggs and everything comes with fruit and toast and coffee or tea. Always served on time and delicious. Room was very clean and tidy and staff were friendly and helpful. Big shoutout to Jorge who was our lovely receptionist, maintenance man, cleaner, and server. He was kind enough to unlock our room at 9:30pm after I accidentally locked us out. Hotel is along a major trucking route, but the hotel makes this very clear and it wasn’t a surprise. Pretty much everywhere along this route has been affected by the Tren Maya construction. Noise was covered up by A/C which was awesome. Private parking is a great bonus. Such a cute place and great access to Calakmul. We also loved the covered patio and spent evening out there listening to the crickets.

The cabin was spacious, practical, and fun. The water pressure was good in the shower, coffee pot worked well, and the bed was comfy. The trail through the jungle is awesome- I saw three spider monkeys and lots of birds and lizards. Really beautiful and well done. It seems like this place is expanding and being made with care.

Stunning room design. It is modeled after Mayan architecture and truly unique, we had stayed at nothing like it—they were so close to a stellar experience and needed to get a couple details right to knock it out of the park.
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!

Hotel within a restaurant (pizzeria) accessible by a very close walk from the bus station.
The room was clean and the mosquito net helpful during the night.
Helpful staff. They recommended a driver to go to Calakmul who was great, stopping on the road to show us animals and waiting for us for 4.5 hours for 600 pesos per person.
The staff also let us stay in the courtyard after our last visit and after the check out while waiting for the night bus to leave Xpuhil.
Also, the pizzas from their pizzeria are good (we ate there twice in 2 days).
Our room was basic but clean & comfortable.
Appreciated having the rooftop terrace for breakfast & chilling out in the afternoons.
A convenient place to stay for visiting the Rio Bec sites.
However Xpujil has become a very dusty truckers town due to the construction of the Maya train. Accidently walked into two brothels but quickly walked back out again!
We did find two reasonably good places to eat.
Nice bungalow close to the center of Xpujil. We really enjoyed our stay. The bungalow has everything you need (even coffee) and the host is very nice and helpful.
Good communication in advance and also during our stay. He is always happy to help and can provide you with recommendations for restaurants or the trip to Calakmul.
This Hotel is by far the best you will find in the area, Staff speaks English, the little bungalows are just right, have everything you will need. It's clean and quiet. They offer lots of food, Mexican but also pastas and other things.
private parking in the hotel, location close to the Calakmul reservation where we were heading, they didn't have a problem with our early morning check-out (before 6am)
