The best available Ranches to stay near Yucatan Peninsula

April 23, 2023 Fernanda Pittenger

Hidden gems of Yucatan, such as Tulum, Akumal, Chetumal, Chichen Itza and Merida, offer an authentic taste of Mexico. Akumal and more Caribbean-style Chetumal, near the Belize border, deliver delectable white-sand beaches and great snorkelling. Merida, Chichen Itza and Tulum, with their ancient ruins, offer a passage into the Yucatanâs native history. Nature lovers can jungle trek and swim in subterranean sinkholes filled with crystal-clear water. Bike around the ruins and hop between towns in colectivo vans.

I've just booked my third stay with Nacional Beach Club! I would never think of staying anywhere else. The staff is always available to help with any little thing! The foor is good! the dive shop Gypsea Divers is always great to use... very patient and helpful! I've brought many friends and everyone who has ever come with me, doesn't want to leave. Chilaquiles con pollo y verde sause is muy perfecto! Coffee in the morning is hot and fresh and everything is low key! the perfect place for R&R if R&R is what you are looking for. Thanks to everyone there for my past experiences and can't wait to meet any new faces on upcoming trip! Thanks Evan!

Chichi's 'n Charlies

Sad return visit to one of our favorite places

Reviewed By Sightsee12500351217

We have visited Isla Mujeres many times over many years and Chichi Charlie’s was always one of our main stops.! We are 60 and like to make a day of our beach hike stopping for drinks and conversation along the way. We start at the tip of North Beach stopping to swim, eat, drink and walk. We always tend to spend the most time at Chi-chi Charlie’s. Great views of the ocean and a fun place to stop. Well at least it used to be. Today when we arrived we picked one of the many open tables where we could people watch and have a few drinks and maybe an appetizer or two. Instead of our normal greeting of, “hola what can I get you” The first question was are you staying upstairs in our rooms. When we replied no we were told there’s a 400 peso minimum and not in a friendly way. Although we would have easily spent 400 pesos we weren’t treated as if we were welcome there. We left. Sorry we won’t stop again.

Sol Caribe

Casual, tranquil, secluded and relaxed, Sol Caribe is a small, exclusive, beachfront resort with private cabanas and suites, on the Caribbean Sea side of Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula; in the state of Quintana Roo… it is one of the last untouched corners of the Mayan Riviera with a desert island feel. Just 35 km south of the town of Tulum and 8 km from the village of Punta Allen, Sol Caribe is located within a protected oasis of extraordinary natural beauty, the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve, Mexico’s largest wetland nature reserve and one of the world’s greatest fly fishing spots on Ascension Bay (Bahia de la Ascension). Explore the Mayan ruins dotting the jungle landscape, snorkel in the Great Meso-American Barrier Reef just off the beach, enjoy the fresh seafood in our beachfront restaurant,watch the sea turtles swimming in the waves… or just relax under a palapa on a white sandy beach that you have all to yourself.

Not clear instructions on entering the park on the listing. You have to read the very bottom of the confirmation page

Booked a room. Got to the national park gate. They wouldn't let us through. No one would pick up the phone at the hotel. Got back a few hours later. Refunded our cost but ended up wasting a whole vacation day and having to book a cheap hotel last minute

Vida Silvestre

Be ware of Apartment #1 - noise problem!

Reviewed By AnaisV319

You don’t get what you pay for at Vida Silvestre. Good idea but poor execution. Noisy neighbor, terrible water quality, unclean, just to name a few of the problems. We were attracted to this property by its solar energy and other ecological appeals. Booked three nights though Booking.com and specifically requested quiet room away from loud music. Unfortunately it was impossible to stay beyond the first night due to noise. When we first arrived, we noticed there was a construction site next to apartment #1 which we were assigned. We did not want to make a fuss and hope it’ll quiet down. Went out for dinner and came back noticing a constant loud humming from maybe a generator. The humming was so powerful and felt like it was right behind the bedroom. Again we tried to be cool about it and planned to wait it out. By 11pm we realized it was not going to go away, texted the manager on WhatsApp. No response, no one on site to help us. Ended up the noise went on all night. The next morning, tired and frustrated from lack of sleep, we requested to shorten the stay and get a refund for the remaining two nights. Manager claimed we were the first guest to complain about noise, which is not true as plenty other reviews said the same thing. The management obviously knows about the problem all along with neighbor’s generator. They could have put us in other apartment away from it, especially we requested a quiet room in the booking note. We felt trapped and mistreated. Additionally the hot water was iffy, and came out a little red in color. Water dispenser and switches are not clean. Overall I strongly advise fellow travelers to stay away!

Worst hotel experience in Mexico

Reviewed By Tobiasjulian

+ Location - Dirty rooms - poor WiFi - no real toilet (just holes in the ground) - very bad road to get there - restaurant does not deserve the name - rather an fast food shack All in all at the level of an average hostel - for more than 100 Euro per night not acceptable.
