Facilities

The three restaurants and a poolside grill offer enticing international cuisine as well as introducing the adventurous to the wondrous flavours of Yucatan cooking. Much of the produce used is sourced from the hotel’s own garden. Local children perform regional dances at lunch and in the evenings the air is filled with the strumming of guitars. The hotel has several pools, a craft shop, a masseuse and tennis courts, but the undoubted highlight is the network of trails and paths that give access to the ancient Mayan sites that dot the grounds.
