Among Chichen
Itza hotels,
Hacienda Chichen Resort is Yucatan Adventure # 1 hotel of choice
and recommendation. This boutique small hotel is commitment to bring you authentic
Mayan experiences
plus Colonial traditions; it employs only
Mayan locals offering excellent green services, and a wealth of
eco-cultural activities that make this green hotel our top
Chichen Itza hotel choice.
HERE IS
WHY WE CHOOSE HACIENDA CHICHEN AT THE TOP OF ALL CHICHEN ITZA
HOTELS:
At
Hacienda Chichen Resort you will journey through time and magic,
experiencing Eco-Cultural
activities no other hotel in Yucatan
will offer you. Stay at this beautiful 16th Century
Colonial hacienda surrounded by lush tropical gardens filled
with the sounds of the jungle,
birds singing all day long!
Step into Chichen Itza Archeological Park just a few steps away
from your own private cottage room and terrace and return to
your own jungle oasis hotel for a swim filled with fresh cenote
waters, or enjoy an Organic Gourmet meal at Hacienda Chichen
premium restaurant
Chilam Balam
where Maya Chef Josue Cime offers his exquisite Fusion Cuisine
and authentic Mayan culinary traditions. Among Yucatan Haciendas
and hotels, Hacienda Chichen is truly our # ONE choice!
Why stay at
Hacienda Chichen:
We highly recommend you
to stay at this green boutique hotel, among all other Chichen
Itza hotels, if you want to truly experience the Maya world,
Maya
traditions and heritage, have contact with Mother Nature and
enjoy a beautiful relaxing day or two for a peaceful
visit Chichen Itza's famous Maya pyramids at your own pace
rather than book a crowded day-trip bus tour which is not at all
an experience we will ever recommend. Chichen Itza
day-trip tours are a rush visit nightmare that include greasy
buffet lunch meals worst than eating at a bad mid-school
cafeteria.
Vision and
Mission:
This is a
committed Green Hotel plus a Top Sustainable Travel Destination,
dedicated to preserving the environment and Maya cultural legacy
as well as servicing you with friendly hospitality and personal
experiences while you enjoy a truly lovely vacation time.
