Cabañas Kin Balam Palenque

“This was absolutely amazing! You are 10 min from the ADO terminal by colectivo! You are right in the jungle, 15-20 min walk from the ruins entrance, great big place, more like a fancy hotel not a camping place, yes you have big space also to put your tent! They game a room for only 4/6 people with a single bed and 2 big beds that could be shared (of course if you were booking for two not with a stanger!) They gave me also a big bed! Lovely view, super quiet, private bathroom in the room too but anyway many showers and toilet everywhere! Well when you take a shower the whole little bathroom become a pool but I was going just downstairs! 2 fireplace where we were meeting other people and make new friends! A lot of hammocks, a big nice swimming pool I unfortunately didn't use in my short buys days I've stayed there! But Ii hang around! Nice little kitchen free to use, water free! Otherwise big nice restaurant! Little spa massage with okay prices, if you move to the Yucatan, take advantages from those prices!!! People here very helpful and friendly! A bottle of water and the towel are provided at the arrival! I could chill and leave my bags in extra lockers and enjoy the pool and all the area while I was waiting for my check in time!”

“Great ‘hostel-vibe’ accommodation. We had a private cabin with bathroom and it was l basic but clean. It was what I expected for the price . Would recommend this place for a short stay or if you are okay without the any luxuries. Dinner and breakfast at the restaurant was good value.”

“Cabañas with a private bathroom are well maintained, bathroom was clean, beds are huge. Mosquito nets in windows keep mosquitos away so you can enjoy the sound of the jungle without being bitten. Area with the river passing through and bridges between cabanas is very picturesque and you can see that the gardener is taking care of it. Also shared bathrooms and showers were always clean. It is great that there is a common kitchen. However, the staff should be much more strict with keeping an eye on guests putting the labels on their food with a check out date, their name and room number. As a result you can find (not always fresh) food in the fridge and outside of it. Sometimes it has been a bit disgusting. At the same time you can see the staff trying to clean the common area but nobody wants to take care of getting rid off or putting an order to things. Restaurant could be better. It offers mostly overpriced western dishes that don't make good impression. I'm sure of the restaurant has changed a menu to a shorter one, more local and with better prices, it wouldn't be empty most of the time. Swimming pool could be taken care of more better. You can see people hair, some insects and some other unidentified small things floating”

“Great place really nearby the Palenque ruins: cute restaurant + we got to enjoy the pool and let our luggage’s there: the staff was very much helpful and accommodating. We recommend this place for a visit of the ruins!”

“Writing this review because the ones from hostalworld made it seem bad for hostalworld style solo travellers. This was not the case at all. I'm showing photos of the shared amenities. Kitchen was fine (seating kinda sucked though) It had a very social atmosphere, met plenty of people there. The grounds are beautiful, and so much more extra than I would have ever expected. It is right next to the park ticket office/bus stop. This was in the off season too, so probably even better I'm high season. They have clothes washing facilities too, including a washing machine, hand wash area, and a spin drier.”

“Beautiful camping/hotel next to the entrance of the park, surrounded by nature. We had the private cabin, which was great, although the AC could only be turned on with full speed and low temperature (but that was still nice, since it was very hot outside). The grounds are idyllic, although the pool is quite warm and a bit dirty. Food and drinks are not great and quite expensive, so we went to the restaurant on the other side of the street most of the time. But the location and surroundings makes up for most of the downsides, so I would still recommend going here!”
