The Maya Mountain Lodge

My room with a thatched roof was cozy and comfortable. Lots of hot water in the shower! Staff very friendly and helpful. I ate in dining room a couple times. Food and service excellent! Within walking distance to food stores, bank, some restaurants. Look forward to staying here again.

Warning: This place will cause you to forget all your worries and relax in nature! What a fabulous place to lay your head for a few nights. Nestled amongst the jungle and mountainous terrain is Maya Mt Lodge. There are hiking trails that head down to the river, definitely explore these. The pool is a welcome relief after a hot day of exploring nearby archaeological sites or exploring the town. You hear the birds and cicadas constantly and it feels like you are in the jungle. The cabins are spread out enough to feel private but also there are enough rooms in each cabin to have chats with fellow travellers. The staff here are amazing. Cesar at the front desk is an absolute legend! He is knowledgeable and helpful and can book just about anything you need - tours, transport, dinners, you name it he can do it! I'm sure if you asked him to book you a skywriting lesson, he would be able to do that! Julie (and Rey) in the restaurant were so accommodating, cooking me delicious vegan food on request, definitely check out the on-site restaurant! It is walkable to the town (about 30-40mins depending on the heat and your love of uphill streets!) or you can grab a taxi. I'm really glad I chose to stay here and not in the hustle and bustle of the town (even though it is a bit of a walk/taxi to get into town there's not actually that much there), and I would not hesitate to stay here again. Bring a good book and just enjoy all that Maya Mountain Lodge has to offer!

I loved this place and wished I could stay longer. My room had a tilapia roof and it felt like a cozy nest. Lots of hot water in the shower! Staff all amazing. Friendly, knowledgeable, super helpful. Tried restaurant twice. Food, service , ambience wonderful. Convenient walk to town and stores, bank, etc. Last but not least the resident cat Luna made me feel right at home.

Unit was fully furnished, and even came stocked with coffee for our morning dip in the pool! Incredible hospitality, and perfect location for those who like it a bit quieter. Will definitely recommend, and stay again when we come back. Thank you so much, to the entire team!
