We'd had a bit of a mental journey by the time we got to Corozal and when we got there (bit of a different vibe from Mexico where we'd just come from) we were a bit freaked out.

but then we got to Maya and the owner was so kind to us - it was the day after new years day and practically everything was shut but they'd just cooked up a meal for themselves and said that we were welcome to some of it. it seriously was the best meal that i have ever had - and it's called Molé. some day i will get around to trying it myself, but apparently it takes all day to cook - and i am worried that i will never be able to do it as well.

So, sorry it's taken a year to write this review - but i just read a negative one which i think is a bit unfair.Yeah the rooms are a bit basic, but it was fine, honestly. we'd just spent the last few days in a scorpion infested hut for the same money!
