We were very much looking forward to staying in El Panchan and at Ed and Margarita's after reading the lovely reviews, however we were a little disappointed. The lovely Margarita that everyone writes about was nowhere to be seen and instead the only contact we had was with a rather grumpy mexican young man who seemed to spend more time... More

The owner of a restaurant in Merida advised to stay in El Panchan, rather than the city when we visited Palenque as it was much safer. I can't comment on the city as we were hardly there but Margarita & Ed's place was ideal. Not only is it's location perfect for seeing the amazing Mayan Ruins and the waterfalls but... More

Nice location in two ways - the El Panchan area being just outside the park gates and Margarita & Ed's cabanas being hidden back in the bush away from the noisier areas around Don Mucho's and Mono Loco. We stayed in the new annex further back and were surprised at how new (Mar/11) and modern the rooms were. Nice, comfortable,... More

we stayed one day in a private room, which was very spacious and very clean. Margarita is very friendly (the rest of the staff not so much, if i have to find a drawback). There are mosquito nets and it is also safe enough since there are bars on the windows and a door which closes with the key on... More

Pleasant, clean, amazingly bug-free, great location to visit Palenque. I wil always be grateful to the man who checked me out and who told me about rolling forward the clock - they are on a different schedule than the U.S. - and if he hadn't done that, I would have missed my bus the next morning.

We stayed in a Cabana which was quite clean and Bug free due to being well netted. Shared roof top kills the privacy a little yet not a big issue I guess it depends who you sharing the roof with. Fan keeps it cool enough during the night. More

The room was clean and quite nice, but basic. It was in a good location in El Pachan. I saw some of the other rooms in El Pachan and frankly think it would be cleaner to sleep outside under the stars than sleep in some of the El Pachan cabins I saw (and I am an experienced backpacker who needs...

We had a wonderful night's stay in the jungle. They were having record breaking heat, and we got a room w/ AC, tiled floor, nice tiled bathroom with rainshower for $600 pesos for 3 of us. There was a double, a queen, and a single bed in the room. The room was impeccably clean.The AC kept out alomost all the... More

Read the full review on our site: TheVacationAdvisors What can we say about a rustic place in the "jungle" of Palanque? Well, it's rustic and the "jungle" is as wild as my backyard in Toronto, Canada. Okay, maybe that's a slight exaggeration as we did see monkeys playing in the trees as I was puking my guts out from the... More
