We loved our stay at Cabañas Aldea! The smaller cabin was already taken during the dates we wanted to book so we ended up booking the larger two bedroom cabin and we loved it! We felt so cozy and comfortable there. It was so quiet and a perfect place to rest after our days exploring Calakmul and the surrounding ruins. I highly recommend it as a place to stay when visiting this region!

The staff were very kind and helpful. Breakfast in the morning is in a comfotlrtable palapa in an intimate setting, and was excellent. There is an undiscovered Mayan mound from the Becan Archaeological Site in the garden just south of the palapa.
Hostal Otoch Beek is located in Becan, 63 mi from Calakmul archaeological site and 5 mi from Xpujil, the main town. Otoch Béek Calakmul features air-conditioned rooms and free private parking.

Great location near Xpujil and Calakmul. Nice garden with friendly host.
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!
One of the closest hotels and villages to Calakmul, which is how we found the place to stay, still about 1 hour drive to the entrance at night. Xpujil has their own little archeological site and Becan is close by as well. In the village you find some shops, bakeries and taquerias. Try to go by the furniture manufacturer Adolfo and his father they make fantastic furniture (unfortunately most of them too big to take with us, we got some small souvenirs made of wood instead). Great grilled chicken, see pictures.
It is not too far from Calakmul reserve, but not close either. Sweet little town. Hotel/hostel a little on the unkempt side but was fine for three days. Large room, AC and hot water both worked fine. Did not use pool because it was cool. A few interesting birds come through the gardens. The food is adequate while not great. Balthasar, the owner, is a nice guy and tries to serve with cheerfulness. He hooked us up with a good guide for seeing the ruins and birds at Calakmul.
Casa Las Lolas and its very kind owner, Arturo, entirely exceeded expectations in the middle of the jungle. Our cabin was spacious, had a comfortable king bed, was SPOTLESS and equipped with A/C, fan, mini-fridge, coffeemaker (and coffee & sugar), closet space with hangers, and the most incredible shower with strong, hot water pressure. I can't imagine finding a better, more comfortable and more thoughtfully equipped place to stay in Xpujil. Highly recommend!
Brand new fully equipped cabana in the jungle. My husband thought we were going to rough it in Xpujil and was pleasantly surprised! Great shower with hot water, everything spotlessly clean. Hosts were great, they hung back but were available if we needed anything. They suggested an exceptional guide who picked us up early and took us to Calakmul and through the jungle to see monkeys, lots of birds, and a tapir even.
I think the owner was one of the most friendly and most supportive persons of all the hotel/hostel/AirBnB/etc. staff I have ever met during all my travels. He supported my in my trips to the bats and Calakmul. I want to say thank you to him here once again. The rooms are also great, as well as the pizza. The location is right at the bus and taxi station.
We arrived late at night in Xpujil with the intention of visiting Calakmul the following day. In the morning, there were no more cars available to rent, so the receptionist found us a friend of his who took us there and saved the day! :) this was very helpful.
I recommend this hotel if you are planning to visit the ancient ruins in the region!
Nice bungalow close to the center of Xpujil. We really enjoyed our stay. The bungalow has everything you need (even coffee) and the host is very nice and helpful.
Good communication in advance and also during our stay. He is always happy to help and can provide you with recommendations for restaurants or the trip to Calakmul.
Great location embedded in the heart of a jungle but easily accessible from Xpujil and the main road. The bungalow is well equipped with everything we needed to prepare for a trip to Calakmul and a rest afterward. The staff was super friendly, and so was the restaurant and the breakfast.
In the jungle just a few km outside of town and close to the new Maya train station ( when it's ready)
Nice nature jungle trail starting at the property amongst the hills of ancient unescavated small Maya ruins ( hard to destinguish but they are there)
Truly a lovely hotel. Pristine and very comfortable. Very close to bus station and although I arrived late at night they had a lovely young man wait for me and show me around my room. Area feels safe at night for a solo female traveller. Great stay.
This Hotel is by far the best you will find in the area, Staff speaks English, the little bungalows are just right, have everything you will need. It's clean and quiet. They offer lots of food, Mexican but also pastas and other things.
location, best in Xpujil a bit down the highway so no noise, very new so very comfortable with perfect showers, quiet, perfect mattresses and even a coffee for the morning. a perfect stop to or from the Calakmul temples. gracias !!
Nice hotel and nice rooms. Clean. Great breakfast. Nice staff. Pool. The property is still being developed into a plaza with restaurants and stores, so in the future, I think it will be a really fun place to stay.
The place is friendly and confortable enough in regard of the price. We have almost the feeling of being in forest while actually very near Xpujil town center. Excellent compromise.
simple hotel but very practical and with good hot shower and wifi. Big parking area, very good restaurant and staff very very kind! A top choice for budget travelers, I liked a lot…
private parking in the hotel, location close to the Calakmul reservation where we were heading, they didn't have a problem with our early morning check-out (before 6am)
