    It was like a resort but very quiet. The swimming pool was warm and amazing. There were a lot of birds and the Hammocks on the patios were excellent. Breakfast was ok. Taking a bus to town and the bus station was very simple. The handsome manager was pleasant and helpful. Taking a tour Bus (Otisa) from San Cristobal de las casas to Palenque was the way to go, safe and affordable and when you are done the 3 stop tour of the waterfalls and Palenque Pyramids have them drop you off on the road in front at Cabana Safari, it really is an oasis and you will not be disappointed. Be sure to have snacks with you. Careful with the Taxi Drivers and know your prices. Be sure to visit Christian at the Monopoly Drink very near the town square, his drinks are amazing and very exquisite and unique.

    The place is generally good and has a nice atmosphere. The bungalows are simple but offer a privacy and ecological background. The only disadvantage of the place is restaurant service. We planned to have an early breakfast to go to Palenque ruins as early as possible, because later we were making a very long trip to the next location, thus being at 7:30 at the restaurant. It took us up until 10 am to finish it as the service was way too slow and of below average quality of meals. Knowing that in advance we would rather have breakfast at the other place, as there are plenty of options around. So conclusion - worth staying, but eating somewhere else.

    .

    Staff friendly and pool and restaurant area really lovely. Its only just outside Palenque yet felt so quiet and tranquil. I liked the little seating areas throughout the complex where you could go and sit in the sun or shade. We had our own private outside seating area with a hammock and surrounded by jungle plants. I booked it last minute and the staff were very accommodating, I would definitely stay again.

    The restaurant was closed the afternoon we arrived, we had to order expensive and so-so take-out. Also the reception and most of the cabins need a new roof. You can see the age and deterioration of the place. But it served the purpose and accepted our pet.

    This place is pet-friendly. They usually have a restaurant open and lush surroundings.

    Breakfast service was a bit slow (1 hour in total)

    I really loved to be in the jungle, away from the traffic of the city center but close enough (5 min by car) for all the services. Cabañas are comfortable with big beds and private gardens, the property is super nice, with a pool, big gardens, restaurant and hammocks. It’s a safe and quiet area.

    Nice cabanas on the outskirts of town (20 min walk to the main part of town). Collectivos stop at the main road close to the hotel. Spacious room, balcony and hot water. The pool area with hammocks is very nice too. The staff was very helpful, we could check in early and leave our bags on the last day.

    Maybe the option of a coffee pot in the room for us early rising caffeine addicted Canadians.

    Sitting on the back porch with my morning coffee, watching the wildlife was a great way to start the day. The staff were always friendly and available. The restaurant was very accommodating and good food. The grounds were beautiful to walk through.

    I agree with other reviewers who said the restaurant isn’t very good and is quite expensive (although the staff were lovely.) I had dinner there one night and never went back. Also, I wish the pool opened earlier (it only opens at 9am). And I wish the staff would enforce their rules, because you’re not supposed to drink in the pool or bring coolers but I saw people doing that and being very noisy and inconsiderate. Lastly, I wish they had mosquito nets over the outside hammocks on our private terraces because while my room was quite stuffy (even with AC) it was so perfect outside and I would have slept on the hammock if I had had protection from mosquitoes.

    The location is great— right at the beginning of the road that leads into the Palenque ruins, so you’re at the start of the jungle but still close to town (and you still have phone service and WI-FI connectivity). My room was fairly basic although I loved the little terrace facing trees. And the common areas are lovely. Yes the pool is small but it was very refreshing at the end of the day. And the hammocks and little bed hanging under the trees were so relaxing!
