It is very close to the ruis, so thats a huge plus, the room is not very comfortable, but it was ok for a night and thats it...

My fiancee & I stayed here for 3 nights, which ended up being 1 day too long. It is a good place to stay for 1 or 2 nights. Nice rooms, nice bathrooms, decent food, friendly service, they also have a small library / pool table room which is nice since besides eating, drinking, and the chichen itza light show, there is not much to do there at night. But overall, a good stay. Restaurant and food is decent prices, too.

Beautiful hotel with garden, swimming pool, boutique....
Walking distance to the ruins, very convenient to go to the night show (don't forget to rent an audioguide if you don't speak spanish!).
Very nice atmosphere, friendly and professional staff.
We had a very good time, much better than expected: I was impressed!
Price for restaurant and room is fair.

I am so glad we chose Villa Arqueologica Chichen Itza to break our bus journey from Cancun to Merida. The hotel is situated about a 5 minute walk from the back gate into Chichen Itza. This is excellent for catching the evening light show. Do catch a taxi from the bus drop off point to the Villa (there seemed to be a good number in the parking lot and we had no trouble acquiring one). The road goes around Chichen Itza and it would be quite dangerous as you share the road with tourist buses etc. You could pay your Chichen Itza entrance fee and drag your luggage across the site but that seems equally as nightmarish unless you’re a fit backpacker—unlike me. The taxi fare is reasonable and worth it. The hotel ensured that a taxi came for us in time to catch our bus to Merida the next day.
The excellent thing about this location was after dropping off our luggage we could spend the rest of the day exploring Chichen Itza at our own pace. Our ticket included the evening show.
Dinner at the Villa was enjoyable and the room was pleasing. There are other hotels in the area but really I liked the smaller, more intimate aspect of this hotel—and the price was right. The pool was great to cool down in and drinks poolside a bonus.
We didn’t use the meal plan but preferred the a la carte Mexican menu. I usually carry tinned fruit for breakfast for occasions such as this, my coffee plunger and travel kettle. During the day we bought something light over at the Chichen Itza eating area.
A good, inexpensive alternative that helps you enjoy your visit to Chichen Itza comfortably, without pressure.
