Near Palenque Ruins

On the road to Palenque ruins is a strip of hotels and campsites that are definitely the place to stay when visiting Palenque. You have your choice, as there are several sites to choose from.

Hotel Maya Bell
Probably the most popular spot on the strip, Maya Bell offers clean rooms and camping. Although expensive there is a pool and it is real close to the ruins. Maya Bell has a restaurant which is run by the most ignorant people you will ever meet in Mexico. Rooms run at $300 pesos a night. If you camp, don't expect to get any sleep, the bongo-players will party all night.

El Panchon
El Panchon meditation retreat hosts a large site with different restaurants and campsites. Inexpensive this interesting location offers a number of various room configuration and camping. This is the place for "new age" people.

El Natural Youth Hostel
El Natural is a cheap place to camp but they let the cows graze on the site and there is lots of cow shit and piss. On a real hot day you can smell the ammonia which is gross. This place is loosing popularity but it is quiet and cheap because the bongo players are no longer staying here.

El Michol
El Michol was just an old farmhouse until recently. It is now a campsite populated by the bongo playing crowed. It is noisy but a fun place to stay and meet people.

Chan-Kah Resort
The only top-end hotel on the strip is Chan-Kah which is quite nice but expensive. They have a swimming pool and restaurant. Tel: 5-11-00 fax: 5-08-20
