Location, staff, activities

Das Personal war super nett und hat all unsere Wünsche erfüllt. Man hat alles an einem Ort; ein kleiner Laden, Restaurant und auch Touren für den Dschungel.

Eigentlich nichts - nur vielleicht, dass es keine Klimaanlage gab, jedoch hatten wir Ventilatoren und über Nacht war es etwas kühler und wir denken, dass dies im Dschungel auch eher schwirig wäre (mit ihren Ressourcen).

Sehr originell bei der Maya Familie zu übernachten. Zimmer einfach aber sauber und alles warmen braucht. Das Personal besonders nett und freundlich und bemüht. Gute Hausmannskost!

Nichts

It was nice to be received initially by a kind family in a local rural setting.

We cannot say it was a scam, but it is quite strange to be explained what you can expect when visiting Bonampak, to see your host a couple of minute later waiting for you at the park entrance to drive you to Bonampak. Not for free of course (we paid 400 pesos for three persons, to and back). We took a guide (a friend of the host) for an additional 300 pesos for one hour, which is not particularly cheap. We wanted to visit Yaxchillan afterwards and we were not amused by our 'escort', yes indeed, our host. In Frontera Corozal, a 45 minute drive and the starting point for the boat trip to Yaxchillan, they wanted to introduce us to another friend of them. We just ignored them and drove on to another place. It felt very unpleasant to be accompanied in this manner. A remark about the food: Most of it was mediocre, but relatively pricy. All in all it was, with a not so big cabana for 1700 pesos, not much value for your money. Our suggestion would be to stay in Frontera Corozal and visit Bonampak from there. That's a pity, because we were really interested in staying in a local Lacandon community and the place has the ingredients to make it a special place to stay. In one word, it was just too commercial.
