Tucked in off the street, you would have no idea the gorgeous grounds and cabanas were back there. There is art created by local artists everywhere and swimming in the naturally heated cenote under the hotel can't be missed. The staff were amazing, welcoming and friendly-one even took the time to give me some Mayan language lessons (it is spoken extensively in this part of the Yucatan). But hands down my favorite part was their in house tequila! I kid you not, the smoothest, best tequila I have ever had! They give you a free shot when you arrive and sell it for $11(!) a bottle. We went home last year with 4 bottles, and even made a day trip there just last week to get more. The only down side is that you cannot walk to the main square from Zentik, but even with that, I don't imagine we will stay anywhere else on a trip to Vallodalid.

It's located in Valladolid, small quiet beautiful town in the heart of Quintana Roo. The main attraction is the zen environment this location has offered.

It starts early and checkout is at noon, which was great because we were able to go see Chichin Itza in the morning before the crowds and return to check out. The food at the restaurant was also pretty good and they do not charge you an arm and a leg. WiFi is not good unless you are next to the office by the way.

Recently, we stayed here the night before visiting Chichen Itza, and I do recommend it since it's pretty close to the ruins and it's right across the street from the Ik Kil Cenote. I stayed here years ago and a lot seems to have changed and still staying the same. The rooms are pretty basic, but the AC worked wonderfully. You will get some bugs in your room, but that's part of the charm of being in the Yucatan. The water pressure in the shower still was very weak, and the bathroom isn't sealed off to the outside, except for a screen. I guess it's to let the humidity escape. They do offer a complimentary shuttle to chichen itza. Also there is an on site restaurant that serves food. There really isn't anything nearby, so either you're eating here, or you're bringing in food from elsewhere.

It came with daily breakfast, which had a good selection of options and included bread, coffee, and juice. Ours came with a visit to a cenote as well, which was a highlight. So it felt like a good deal in the end. Our room was nice, the location was perfect, and the staff was great. We would for sure stay there again. There was some construction going on during the day that was loud, but it was otherwise quiet, even with being in the center of town.

Hotel Posada San Juan is a delightful and welcoming hotel in Valladolid that I want to go back to…read moreagain and again. Located about a 10-minute walk south of the main square, this hotel is unassuming on the outside, but stunning when you walk in. The hallways are wide and airy, with lovely decor and details to make you feel calm and relaxed from the first moment. We booked a deluxe king room for 3 nights. Our room was a corner room on the second floor overlooking the pool. The room is spacious with a comfortable bed, a hammock (yes, a hammock in your room!), a large dresser and another cabinet for more surface area and storage, and a large and lovely bathroom. There is no bathtub, but the shower is amazing. The bathroom is partially "open air" with a rain shower head. Showering was quite a unique experience. Breakfast is included with your stay and it's awesome. There is self serve coffee, tea, and juices, and bread and fruit. You can choose an entree (choices are omelette, pancakes, waffle, huevos rancheros). The special is definitely a must try. It's served with warm tortillas, beans, and salsa. The hotel offers a few unique experiences. The one we took a part of was the Ek Balam guided tour and half day at a private cenote (YES!!! A *private* cenote to yourselves!). There is also a day trip to Rio Lagartos (nature reserve, pink sand beaches, and flamingos!), a cooking class, and a mixology class. The Ek Balam and cenote Chenxunan trip must be reserved in advance and it's only one group per day. The day trip includes transportation, cold water and soft drinks, a delicious multi-course meal at the cenote, and of course an entire cenote for you to enjoy for 3-4 hours! Our guide for Ek Balam, Juan, was a wonderful and knowledgeable gentleman who told us stories and details that really enriched our exploration of the ancient ruins. Ek Balam is not as popular as the nearby Chichen Itza but definitely worth a visit. The pyramid is climbable and features a very interesting excavated tomb with wonderfully preserved carvings. Cenote Chenxunan was absolutely gorgeous. The cenote is privately owned an they take great care to preserve the land. A lot of the popular cenotes in the area get hundreds and thousands of visitors a day. But this cenote gets up to 12-15 visitors a day. We saw the local flora and fauna thriving in this preserved area. The swim in the cenote was absolutely delightful and revitalizing. It's fairly large with a cave and many stalactites. We even saw a couple of owls and heard some bats! Our stay at Hotel Posada San Juan was amazing and if we're back in Valladolid, I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. All the staff were wonderful.

**Review (Restaurant Only):**…read more We visited the restaurant at this hotel with much higher expectations. While the setting is beautiful--the restaurant and the surrounding grounds are very nice--the service and food left a lot to be desired. The portions were quite small, and the food itself was mediocre at best. We ordered drinks, which were fair, but we have had much better cocktails on the beach at Isla Mujeres. Our meal took about forty-five minutes to arrive, and the dishes were served one at a time, leaving some of us eating while others waited. The most disappointing moment came when our order of fajitas was dropped by the waiter, who then left the spilled food on the ground for the cat to eat. By the time a new order came out, everyone at the table had already finished and we were ready to leave. Overall, I would pass on this restaurant. Perhaps they can manage service for two people, but handling a table of twelve was clearly beyond their capacity.

There's a beautiful boutique next to check in. It's small, but there are some dresses and purses and shoes and etc to browse. All really lovely stuff! The space between check in to your rooms is open air and there's a pool and some seats where you can order food or drinks or else just relax. There's also a really cute stray cat who wanders around. The rooms had everything you could want: a hammock, yummy smelling soaps and shampoos, AC, a TV (I believe?), a desk, a comfy bed. The windows are more like shutters which is unfortunate bc AC escapes and noise gets in. Apparently some dogs were howling around 2a.m., but I didn't hear because I always sleep with earplugs. We had breakfast before heading out for the day and it was really yummy! I split with a friend and I think we got a tortilla / egg/ bean dish (?) and an avocado toast + some fruit and tea. They had tons of options so everyone (even the vegetarians among us) found something we liked. Such a wonderful spot if you're looking for someplace to stay during your trip to Valladolid!

The food was very good and the cocktails were excellent. I definitely recommended staying here and spending time in Valladolid and the surrounding villages in addition to the usual spots like Chichén Itzá. One thing I would recommend to management: provide foam ear plugs to the guests. There are noisy dogs in the neighborhood and our room was above the kitchen which got a little noisy in the AM. We planned to get up early anyway so it worked out for us.

It's such a great place to get away, enjoy a walk around the grounds filled with tropical flowers and trees, enjoy the pool after a hot humid day and ultimately just relax. We stayed in a suite with a view of the Observatory and enjoyed the sound of birds throughout the day, especially in the morning. They have three swimming pools and their own private entrance into the Mayan ruins. Entrance to the ruins is $14.00 USD per person a private tour to the ruins is an additional $50.00 USD total (which we did). The staff are all Mayans and were very friendly. A quick shout out to Christina in the gift shop, Danny who works at the pizza joint outside and Velario one of the bartenders. We had such a great time we're going back next year.
