    The hut was beautiful and very luxurious. At first arrival we thought the jungle was a bit meh, but in actuality we saw many birds right from our terrace. Including several Tucans (our hut was called Tucán). Dinner was very nice. Breakfast box to take to Calakmul was very convenient. Very relaxing place.

    The AC didn’t work properly. So it was really hot inside the hut.

    Calakmul is a great place to visit. The decoration was nice and the breakfast was good. Also they provide lunch packages for your day trips.

    An excellent place to stop near Xpujil. Very little options in this area and these chalets in the natural enviroment were excellent. We stayed her for two separate nights when touring from the north of Yucatan to the South and Back. Nice little restaurant and bar on site. All in all a very pleasant surprise.

    We stayed for 2 nights in March in a joined bungalow with two bedrooms. We loved our bungalow! Private safe parking out front for our hire car. Lovely big rooms with great facilities in each half of the bungalow. Views into surrounding trees and very private. Terrace to sit out on and again very private. Could walk (or drive) to the shared restaurant area. Breakfast was good. Dinner options good too. We ate both days at the hotel and had a few drinks before walking back to our bungalow too. We really enjoyed the company of the family dogs as we were missing our dogs - so lovely to have some dog cuddles and play. Staff were really helpful and professional. We took a tour to Calakmul with Ka’an Expeditions which we can highly recommend. It was great for someone else to do the driving and the guiding and we had a fabulous tour guide. Great 2 night stay at Casa Kaan and just perfect for our tour and experience of Calakmul with Ka’an Expeditions.

    It's definitely a bit on the pricy side but fari enough, it's the only good hotel in a radius of 100km.

    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.

    Serious mishap at checkin due to poor communication by the staff. But the management did apologize and refunded us one night. This is not a convenient place for travelers without a car. Too far away from Xpujil, too spread out in the forest.

    Quiet and remote in the middle of the forest. Each cabin is at least 4 to 500 feet away from the other ones, so it feels like you are by yourself. Very comfortable cabin.

    First class

    Our cabin was 1 minute away by car from the bar/restaurant, we therefore decided to walk to it on our first evening, which it took mabe 10 minues max. So, it is not far at all. However, as it is all in the forest and yes, you do have a large gravel road to walk on, but when we went back to the cabin it was very dark. I am not saying it was not safe, we managed it alright, but perhaps if few small lights were placed on the route from the bar/restaurant to the cabins it would have made the walk a little easier and perhaps an improvement worth thinking about. On the second night we drove by car, so not an issue.

    We stayed for two nights at the Casa Kaan Calakmul because we wanted to visit the Calakmul archeological site, which is a couple of hour drive away. There are a number of places around Xpujil we could have stayed but we settled for Casa Kaan after reading the reviews of previous travellers and checking that it had the three basic requirements we were loking for in our accommodation: brekfast included, wifi and parking space. On these three requirements, Casa Kaan delivered fully, no complaints, but there was so much more we were impressed with that we can only reccomend this place. Granted, it is a bit on expensive side, but I think the quality of the accommodation, the well organised staff and the great food we had, all make up for it and, for us, it was all worth it. Mind, it is a bit of an unusual set up. The reception is basically at a little kiosk in the middle of the forest (but just 5min from the main road) which is also a bar and a restaurant with a lovely open seating area. Here is where we had our breakfasts and we also stayed for our dinners as it was just a lovely place (we did not fancy driving to Xpujil which did not really look appealing). Well, the food at Casa Kaan is first class, we really enjoyed the tuna tartar and also the cocktails but the entire menu was very good and with great choices. Breakfast also excellent: coffee, fruit, eggs in various options, all really delicious. The accommodation is in little cabins, away from the reception / bar / restaurant, even more into the forest. You are literally surrounded by trees and nothing else. The little bungalow is not really that little: we had two bedrooms, a livingroom with sofa and TV, a fully equipped kitchen with fridge, aircon, ceiling mounted fans, Alexa-enabled appliances thoghout (not joking), and a nice spacious batroom with a hot shower. I mean... yes it is more expensive than the alternatives but it also delivered more.

    The place we stayed isn’t particularly well sealed so we did get some little creatures in our room which we didn’t mind too much but some people might!

    The room was absolutely beautiful and so comfortable. The staff were really nice and we had a really lovely dinner there. The mini bar was really well stocked and the prices were incredibly reasonable! We felt completely immersed in nature which was amazing.

    The water had a low pressure, so it wasn't easy to shower. The water was quite cold, too. There was a musty smell, but it was manageable with open windows, and we slept very well through the night.

    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.

    The general state of the driving alley could be improved.

    We particularly enjoyed the location (best option if you want to reduce driving time to visit Calakmul) as well as the comfort of the lodges, which we were not expecting to be that high. The staff is also very helpful with all kind of requests (esp. the lunch box to visit Calakmul when you are leaving early).
