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.

Very good value, walking distance to the bus station. Oscar was super friendly, helped organise transport to Calakmul for the very best price we could find. Cabin was basic but comfortable, mozzy net included. In terms of being a place to sleep for one night so you can visit an incredible Mayan site (Calakmul), this was good.

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 ...

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!
Casa las Lola’s is a very well-kept facility, you can see the owner puts great effort in it with taste and attention to details. Considered the other solutions in Xpujil, I think las Lolas is a great solution, as it is out of the at-times-unpleasant village center, and it offers a decent garden to relax. Do not expect a small resort, the hotel is rather composed of a few small buildings with one or two rooms each, with more in construction, and a garden. The staff taking care of towels and bottled water was sweet and professional.
A good basecamp for Calakmul. 30min from the park entrance (from which you count 1h30 more to the ruins).
Space for the care, 24/24 access, they can prepare good snacks to take away for the day of the excursion, even very early (we left at 5.30am). a sandwich and some fruits for 100 pesos.
For the price, the hotel is very clean and confortable. The only thing that would "beat" it is to stay directly as the park entrance probably (slightly more expensive).
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.
Absolutely amazing stay in this family run hotel in the center of Valladolid! The hotel was great, awesome pool, lovely clean rooms with aircon! The host was so helpful and gave us loads of tips and restaurant suggestions! Breakfasts were also a lovely touch! Highly recommend!
There are not many options in Xpujil to reach Calakmul and this is a practical and economical option. They can help you book transport or a tour to Calakmul directly there, for a good price as it seems is negotiable since in our transport everybody paid something different.
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.
My third visit to the hotel. Stayed in 2021, 2022 and 2023. Friendly family run hotel. Close to ADO bus terminal. Good reception TV, watched the youtube channel. A fridge was outside, good for keeping water, cheese, chicken and fruit cold.
Nice, simple hotel just off the main road so really convenient for restaurants and shops in the main street of Xpujil. Clean rooms, plenty of space, friendly staff. No frills but an excellent stopover between Calakmul and the coast.
Would be an excellent location for visiting the ruins of Calakmul. I stayed late at the ruins and then spent the night here so as to not have to drive-in the dark.. Secure parking.. Found a taco stand within walking distance.
As of today, there are not many hotels within 1h distance of the entrance to the archaeological site of Calakmul. Hotel Maya Balam deserves a visit, nice, spacy rooms, all the comfort you need and even a restaurant on site.
Very nice owner - he waited for us until late at night as we were coming with the last bus to the city. He gave us all tips how to visit ruins nearby. Location is very good, near bus station and nice places to eat
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!
convenient to go to Calakmul reserve. note that the time zone changes right in the roundabout near the hotel - we woke up an hour earlier due to this confusion and could not have breakfast
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.
