Hotel & Bungalows Mayaland

Overview

Description

Hotel & Bungalows Mayaland is the first hotel in the world to be built alongside an archeological site. Mayaland is next to temples of the splendid pre-Hispanic Mayan city of Chichen Itzá, which has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and is also one of the seven new wonders of the world.

The hotel is in an ecological setting with endemic subtropical vegetation that is typical of the Yucatán Peninsula. Its gardens are alive with butterflies and birds, many of them native to the region, and it is surrounded by the rich Maya culture and the traditions of local indigenous communities.
