This hotel was a quiet oasis in Valladolid. We had the deluxe king room which included a small walled garden space opening to both the room and the shower. Pretty nice! We booked this as it was our anniversary, and the staff provided a nice floral arrangement to celebrate this! All the staff were very nice and friendly. They are also able to organize tours or airport transport, however we chose to arrange our own transport.|We booked a private driver through Taxi Personalizado for day trips to a number of cenotes, a day to go to Coba and Tulum and also transport to Cancun airport when departing. We used the collectivo to go to Chichen Itza and the coach bus to get from the train station the town then walk to the hotel with no problem (even late in the evening).|The hotel is close to many good restaurants and a pedestrian-only street (Calz. de Los Frailes) with lots of shops and restaurants, and at the end of this street is a large convent you can visit.|The hotel has a restaurant on site serving good food as well, although the service, particularly at breakfast (included) can be slow so make sure to take this into account when booking pickup times (over an hour for breakfast routinely). Breakfast is served in the garden courtyard. A box lunch is provided if you know you will be leaving too early for breakfast and give them notice a day ahead.|There is a pool in the courtyard, however it is very closely surrounded by the dining tables of the restaurant, so not very conducive to relaxing in.|There is a safe in the room, good A/C, a comfortable bed, and plenty of drinking water provided. The shower (lots of hot water), opening to the walled garden was idyllic! The louvered door to the bathroom doesn't do much to block noise, though.....|Wifi was very variable in strength.|The noise form the dining area was easily heard in the room, but it did quiet down fairly early. During the day there was construction going on at the property next door, but again, it didn't happen at night, and probably won't be happening too much in the future....|We loved staying here and would certainly choose this hotel for any future visits to this area of the Yucatan!
