Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Overall, given the location, I would not qualify that as a catastrophe. BUT…
Although the rooms are pretty clean, they are not spotless! One of the beds had dirty sheets, that we did not use! The general condition of the property is very average.
Don’t get me wrong! It’s Palenque, it’s thick forest, you have to expect humidity, smell, bugs, the whole ordeal! I can live with that!
But it is very apparent that the property is not well maintained! It could be such a paradise, but the buildings are falling apart! I guess they are trying to do something about it cause the construction guys do grinder and skilsaw from 6am to 7pm… so say goodbye to the jungle vibe!
And unfortunately I had good expectations for the restaurant, but it is very average and on the pricey side.
Overall, all this wouldn’t matter if it were a 50-60$ CAD a night hotel but hold tous socks, it is a whopping 105$ CAD a night, which, let’s be honest, for the location, puts your expectations a bit higher!
Staff is very sweet though, especially the ladies in the restaurant, but 80 pesos MX (6.50$ CAD) for a plate of frozen French fries is a big sad no-no for me, regardless of the beautiful smiles and manners of the waitresses! (And let’s not talk about the boring ambiance!!)
Overall, sadly, I must say that 100$ CAD would be used somewhere else with much more bang for the buck!
