They have an option to pack a to-go breakfast if you are getting up extra early to go to Calakmul, which was really nice of them. Everything else was OK.

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

Wonderful setting in the forest. You can slightly hear the highway, but the trees do a great deal to block the noise. Probably the best option for staying in Xpujil when comparing to other places to stay. The pictures definitely match what you get. The kitchenette has everything you need and they provide some snacks and a few cervezas to enjoy. I would not hesitate to stay here again. Facilities felt very safe and secure (gated). Wish we could have stayed another night.

We stopped here to break the journey between Bacalar and Palenque. The place is in the middle of nowhere but we got a good night's sleep. There are one or maybe two of these cabins. They are a long way back from the road so you cannot hear the railway construction traffic. Breakfast was lovely as were the staff. Plenty of water, both hot and cold and the Aircon was needed for us. Adjacent to the property on the main road is a petrol station and there is a cafe there, Gouter Cafe that serves excellent food so there is no need to go into town to eat. The price is way above other places if better standing elsewhere in Mexico but when you are in the middle of nowhere and you need to stop ...
Hotel Casa Maya Calakmul features free bikes, garden, a terrace and restaurant in Chicanna. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared kitchen and free WiFi.
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!
We had a wonderful stay at the hotel Templo Maya. The room was very nice, clean and comfortable, with private bathroom and A. C. and two big beds. It’s only a 5-minutes walk from the center. Our host and her daughter were outstandingly nice; despite the language barrier we could always communicate very well. Her kindness and warmth made our stay even better ; the restaurant is also very nice (shoutout to the amazing guacamole). We would definitely stay there again and recommend it to anyone staying a few nights in Xpujil.
we really enjoyed our stay at casa Maran. we booked it because we wanted to visit Calakmul which is really easy from Xpujil on. The hotel is really close from the ADO bus station so that was perfect. When we arrived at the hotel the employees tried to help us find a guide to do the Calakmul tour in any way possible. They made sure we had the best tour ever! We especially want to thank Javier for his help that day and his kindness, we enjoyed our stay and visit to Calakmul even more because of you!
It is not too far from Calakmul reserve, but not close either. Sweet little town. Hotel/hostel a little on the unkempt side but was fine for three days. Large room, AC and hot water both worked fine. Did not use pool because it was cool. A few interesting birds come through the gardens. The food is adequate while not great. Balthasar, the owner, is a nice guy and tries to serve with cheerfulness. He hooked us up with a good guide for seeing the ruins and birds at Calakmul.
Moises was very kind and helpful, and always ready to assist via text. The insect sounds at night are beautiful. Everything was exceptionally clean and professional in the details. Nice big property with lots of trees. Appreciated the fruit, snacks and drinks. The air plants on the property were beautiful. We slept very well. It was such a nice place to come back to relax in after long days spent exploring ruins.
This a basic, no-frills hotel. It was acceptably comfortable. The A/C worked well (which is critical). The location is away from the main street which has incessant noisy traffic and dust and this is one of the few hotels in town that avoids these issues. Off-street parking in a gated yard so the car was safe. There is a communal fridge in the lobby for your cold drinks and snacks.
The hotel is affordable. It's great that they have a restaurant which is open all day from breakfast till dinner. The restaurant staff was helpful, they also warmed a bottle of milk for our daughter before bedtime.
Of course we came to visit Calakmul, which is still >1 hour away, but there's just not many options to stay somewhere closer.
Excellent place - super clean, new, very friendly owners, nice garden. Perfect for one night on the way to Calakmul (or even longer - my kids were sad we had to leave). I really doubt there are better places in Xpujil, we would definitely stay there again if travelling in the region.
It’s extremely close to the ADO. The Pizzeria in front of the hotel has excellent food, the staff were very friendly and the room, while small, was very comfortable, great AC and a nice hot shower. You can even arrange all of the trips to the ruins and the bat cave! Just outstanding
In the jungle just a few km outside of town and close to the new Maya train station ( when it's ready)
Nice nature jungle trail starting at the property amongst the hills of ancient unescavated small Maya ruins ( hard to destinguish but they are there)
We loved the spacious bedroom and Miguel was really attentive, helping us book a visit of Calakmul quite late (when he couldn't be our guide). This place is just off the main road in Xpujil which was really convenient as well. We would stay here again.
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.
The communication with the hotel owner was great and very supportive. Helped me get the cheapest way around getting the bat cave. jungle and pyramids tour. The place is also a pizza restaurant at the front with great prices.
Nice hotel and nice rooms. Clean. Great breakfast. Nice staff. Pool. The property is still being developed into a plaza with restaurants and stores, so in the future, I think it will be a really fun place to stay.
The staff is very friendly, they asked if we were interested in tours, that is good customer service, it feels like home plus the rooms have A/C, which is amazing since Xpujil is extremely hot!
The place is friendly and confortable enough in regard of the price. We have almost the feeling of being in forest while actually very near Xpujil town center. Excellent compromise.
Everything was fine. The staff was kind.
The place is close to the transport (ADO). The room and hotel were also very clean.
They were cleaned and linen changed every day!
Lovely hotel in the jungle. We had everything we needed. The room was spacious, comfortable and even had a kitchenette. The staff was friendly. I recommend this hotel.
