Although this hotel maintains a website, even communications in Spanish go unanswered. I've traveled in the Yucatan a fair bit so I always try to secure a room in small villages prior to departure. Yet, I was immediately taken good care of upon arrival at this little hotel without previous reservations. The owners are presently increasing the capacity by double of the number of rooms available...a second story has been added. Not a lick of English is spoken so make certain your language skills are up to the task. Coba is still very rural Mexico so anticipate barking dogs, crowing chickens and family disputes to be part of the experience. Directly next to the hotel are a Maya family who maintain all of the above to further enhance a genuine participation in the environment. Maybe not for everybody, but the tiny hotel at the bus stop is a dirt pit and the Villa on the lake is a money pit laying in wait for your tourist dollar (terrible restaurant!). During my first visit I needed to return to Tulum for a personal issue and the owner of Sac-be was kind enough to refund my already paid days that I'd be missing. Very kind!
Remember, until quite recently, this town was seldom visited. "Services" are simply not in existance. You can't purchase beer in the stores, asking for such will incite a dour look of disdain, and the restaurants close after the tour bus buffets are tidied up in the early afternoon. Bring what you need with you, spend a paltry $40 a night, visit the ruins and hot tail it back to Tulum or Valladolid.

This is a great place to stay if you are on a budget and want to see real Mexico while visiting Cancun and the Yucatan Peninsula. $40 a night as of 2/2008.

Right in the heart of Bonfil, about 10 minutes from the airport, about 1/2 way to Cancun. The rooms are okay and the pool in the back is very nice. The beds are small.

The owner is very pleasant, but does not speak English. The hotel caters to budget minded travelers. When you check in you get your bar soap, towels and roll of toilet paper. Walking distance to local stores and restaurants.

Secure - Iron gate in front is locked at night.

Air conditioned!!!

Back in November I tried to book the room on their website but I never got an answer. Apparently they don't work with Internet even though they have an email address.

Anyway when you go to Coba, they will have a room for you. They don't speak a word of English, so brush your Spanish before you travel in the Yucatan in general!

The room was simple but very clean with TV and A/C and we paid US$40 for the night.

Don't be put off by the appearance of the town and the Hotelito from the outside. It is a good experience when you tour the Yucatan and the main thing is that the room is clean.

For dinner, go to "El Bocadito". They have a good pollo or cochinita pibil!
