The staff was very helpful and courteous, five stars. The rooms were clean, the breakfast and dinner (a little on the pricey side) were ok. The location is excellent, less than a five minute walk to the Uxmal ruins. Overall, we had a very nice stay.

Beautiful property with a kind and friendly staff. I stayed at the Lodge several times over the last ten years and my experience has always been very good. For those of you who love nature and appreciate tranquility there is no substitute, start your day with their delicious breakfast and simply walk to the breathtaking ruins of Uxmal for an intimate encounter with the mysterious world of the Maya :))

The location is amazing. The staff friendly. Very clean. You pay for the location not for the equipment or state of the room. I would say, the hotel is rather aged and for one night in Uxmal is definitely Ok.

This destination is a haven for those who appreciate nature. The Lodge in Uxmal exceeds expectations. It is an ideal choice for anyone visiting Uxmal, Yucatán. The nearby Mayan pyramids,. museums, and planetarium are easily accessible on foot. And the Yucatan cuisine at the restaurant hits right everytime. Ask for Luis for tips and bookings of Jeep adventures and local cenotes.

Amazing beautiful place in the country side of Uxmal. Beautiful resort and very quiet. The only bad thing was the bar tender was a bit of an ass, every other worked was super polite and willing to help you out for whatever you need.

Tourist hotel. Rex is great. Definitely stayed for convenience to the pyramids due to young kid, and was pricy but worth it. Breakfast was amazing.

Lodge in a natural paradise ideal for Uxmal

The Lodge at Uxmal is a special place just outside the entrance to the archeological site so ideal for staying at to see the sound and light show at night. The room was comfortable and clean with nice bedding and the place is set amongst trees so there are abundant birds and nature all around. Really lovely. It also has a very nice restaurant so is a great place to base exploring the Ruta Puuc from.

The lodge was exactly what we wanted, a place to stay on the edge of Uxmal that allowed us easy access to the site. The staff is well trained and caring. The concierge whose name I think is Luis hooked us up with the wonderful guide Wilbert. All good memories from this place.

Clean and lovely, in beautiful jungle setting, just minutes from Uxmal ruins. Restaurant/bar on-site is only option for food if you don't have a car, but the service and food were great. We asked for rooms away from the main check-in (it's closer to the road and less private), and though they'd already assigned us 3 rooms, they were happy to accommodate, and changed us to another building. Pools are fabulous--a treat after a day at the ruins.

There’s not a better place to stay while exploring the Ruta Puuc. Room was immaculate and attractive. The restaurant served food and drinks that ranged from good to excellent. Ultimately the convenient access to Uxmal and nearby sites make this a great spot. The only negative is WiFi and cellular signals are minimal once you enter your room.

We had a fabulous time, We went for the ruins but discovered so much more, at the advice of or concierge and new friend Louis ‘Rex’ Chan we went on the Land Rover tour, which ended up being one of the highlights of our 24 days on the Yucatan, Rex’s knowledge of the history of the property was fantastic, his pride in the history and culture of his Mayan heritage came through. we had a truly once in a lifetime adventure..

The Lodge is conveniently located, right outside the gates of Uxmal, meaning that you can walk to the site as soon as it opens to avoid the crowds. The first room we were given had lots of dust on the bedframe and other surfaces and looked old and dated. It also had mould on the ceiling. We requested a move which was freely given and the new room, which was closer to reception, was much better. The reception staff were friendly and helpful and looked after us well at dinner and breakfast, including providing vegan options for one of our party. The sister property, which is the Hacienda located 5 minutes walk away looks beautiful. If we went again, we would probably prefer to stay at the Hacienda, though there is no restaurant there.

The Lodge at Uxmal couldn't be better located to experience Uxmal and other wonders of the Ruta Puuc. Uxmal itself is literally a walk across the driveway. As for the Lodge, the property was a series of contradictions. The included breakfast was excellent and the service delightful. Dinner is served under the same giant palapa, but was something of a mixed bag. The spa services advertised online weren't available during our three day visit. The grounds are being maintained, the pools are impressive and our room well appointed, if a bit dated in the bathroom. Porches with carved rocking chairs and benches front every room. But still, the whole place carries an air of neglect or indifference, as though a classic property from the golden age of travel was just waiting to be nudged into the modern era. Perhaps we were traveling in low season as we were but two of what appeared to be about ten guests. We walked across the highway to check out what we took to be the Lodge's sister property, the Hacienda, and it was even more deserted. Overall the experience was fine, even great in some respects, though just not quite what we were expecting based the materials available when booking the hotel. That said, we would stay here again for the convenience to Uxmal, the pools and overall ambiance, just with adjusted expectations.
