The most amazing place to stay near Palenque

This was a magical place like no other. Beautiful, peaceful, in the nature, with the most magnificent pool. The staff went out and beyond to make sure our stay will be unforgettable and the chef prepared us 3 meals a day as it was so good we did not want to eat anywhere else. The room is meticulously cleaned! I highly recommend it and it is located it a perfect distance to see some amazing waterfalls and ruins.

The highlight of a tour of Mexico, largely due to the wonderful Hotel Quinta Chanabnal. It is difficult to do justice to it in words, but I thoroughly recommend it. A lovely tranquil setting, characterful rooms, public area and pool, excellent food, a gracious and interesting hands-on host and all at remarkably modest cost. Palenque ruins are fabulous, as much for their tranquillity as their majesty - a world apart from the soulless, queue-bound, tripper-infested experience at Chichen-Itza.

Amazing experience

On arrival we were welcomed by staff and our luggage was taken to our room. We had an upgrade to Queens Suite. The furniture and décor was unique. For our dinner, we were received by Mr Raphael Junesi Koppold, the Owner and GM which was really a great feeling. We had only two nights stay. The next day was a long day to visit Bonampak and Yaxchilan. Mr Koppold arranged a guide at our request and gave practical advice. On the second night we arrived late. Still, Mr Koppold managed to meet us on our arrival and also cooked lamb as per our prior request.
We are from UK and was driving which was rather crazy with no wifi or navigation in place as there were no signals despite hiring the equipment and car from Tuxtla airport.

We had a great time in the resort and everything was very personal. We had an amazing time. Hope, we had some more time to enjoy the Spa but the next day we had to leave Palenque.


The Staff were very good and the services impressive.

Excellent resort style hotel close to the ruins

Very pleasant experience. I got a tour of the hotel amenities right during check in along with a glass of white wine. My room was the junior suite. All the amenities were modern but with a neo-Mayan twist as the owner describes it. If you want to immerse in Mayan culture, the hotel is a good starting point. The owner met with me multiple times and really makes sure that guests have a comfortable and memorable stay. There were a couple of minor issues with the safety box and bathroom window netting but the owner got them fixed right away and even offered to upgrade my room to Presidential suite free of charge. There is a howler monkey family in the premises and if you're lucky, you will be able to get a close up view. The hotel arranged for an English guide (me only) and so I did not have to go through the hassle of arranging group tours online prior to my stay. And yes, the food was awesome. I ordered room service and choose the traditional Mayan dishes on offer - they were all sumptuous.

Far exceed our expectations!

Having never been to Palenque we didn't know what to expect when we landed. However, when we arrived to Quinta Chanabnal we were blown away by its setting, our welcome, and the friendly staff. We were in the Presidential Suite and it certainly fit its class. The room was spacious with ample seating, closets, and seating. Top notch. We loved the seating area just outside our room door with views of the surrounding area, privacy, and also our own private dipping pool complete with a waterfall feature. The restaurant was more than we expected, featuring a continental menu with local dishes as well as Italian, Asian and Mexican. I highly recommend the gnocchi with gorgonzola. We ate their for all our meals as we didn't find it necessary to go anywhere else. The tropical surroundings were beyond belief. A howler monkey family greeted us every morning outside in the trees. They were open to being fed bananas!! I treated myself to a body wrap (oats and honey), a face wrap (chocolate) and a luxurious relaxing massage right in my room! Our daily taxis and guides were arranged by hotel staff as well as our transportation to Villahermosa 2 hours away on our departure. Five star rating by us!!

Maya Magic

A lovely home that accommodates a few lucky guests that want to visit Palenque. The grounds and surroudings may entice you to just lay by the natural pool and watch monkeys and macaws. The owner is knowledgeable about the Maya ruins and has incorporated that design into his own home that you get to share. The staff is wonderful and help you with anything you need. Don't miss this!.

Everything about this lovely hotel has been well designed and planned. The restaurant and lobby are lovely with soaring thatched roofs allowing gentle breezes. Menu is wide-ranging and delicious with a chef's professional touch. Staff is ultra attentive though not hovering. Lucia and Will are extremely knowledgeable and arranged tours, guides and transport that were flawless. And the best is owner Rafael who is indeed a Mayan scholar and happy to engage in discussions of all things Mayan. Stay here. It's a wonderful respite after a day in the jungle At Palenque.

Exceptional Experience, Stunning Location!\n

This hotel exceeded my expectations in every way. We were greeted by the proprietor and his concierge (by name) when we arrived late after a long drive from Campeche. There was no paperwork hassle, and staff parked our car for us. Unlike other hotels, the Concierge, Gustavo, was amazing. He offered us a complimentary drink, walked us through the property, and as we walked to our room gave us all of the information necessary leaving us to relax with every question answered. It felt like a true welcome rather than a check-in at a front lobby desk. What stands out about this hotel is not only that it is an Oasis in the jungle setting, but the high quality in service, food, drinks, and the personal involvement of the proprietor.

The room was heaven; absolutely beautiful, pristine, and comfortable. My husband and I wanted a romantic getaway as we always do family holidays with our children, and we could not have picked a better place. We were able to receive room service for drinks and meals, sleep better than ever, and enjoy our room in the solidarity of nature in this Oasis. When we needed anything, all we had to do was call reception.

We were impressed by the menu. The food was very gourmet, making it possible for us to not have to leave and find restaurants. Another plus, was that it is an eco-friendly hotel.

Thank you so much to the Proprietor, Raphael, and his staff for this lovely experience; It was everything were hoping for and more. We can't wait to return!

Two nights here for an early start at the WHS.

When booking, the only suite left was the Suite 5 (Presidential); oh dear! Huge room with big sitting area, comfy bed, great bathroom, nice outside sitting room, terrace and plunge pool. Lovely.

Up before dawn, mist over the lake; birds and howler monkeys firing up for their morning chorus. A swim in the crystal clear pool as the mist was burnt away to reveal pink clouds in the pale blue sky. What a great way to start a day.

Staff and owner were charming.

Plan to go back for a longer stay.

Our room was luxuious, large, and comfortable. The personal service was outstanding. We were able to change money, have our laundry done, and enjoy drinks and snacks any time. The food was very good.

Amazing hotel in amazing Palenque

It was a pleasure to arrive at this hotel after a arduous day travelling. From the moment we arrived to when we left the owner Rafael made us very welcome and provided us with very interesting and stimulating discussions about the Mayan culture. He personally took the time to speak to all his guests each night at dinner and made everybody feel very special. The hotel itself is amazing, we have travelled to many places around the world and this has to be one of my favourite for its uniqueness, tranquility, comfort and its location so close to the ancient ruins at Palenque. We stayed 3 nights and we're glad we had done so. We would highly recommend this hotel to anybody wishing to visit Palenque.

Best hotel and staff in Palenque!

Raphael Tunesi the owner is an expert, published Maya scholar who takes hospitality seriously. Our long post dinnet conversations with him added so much to our Palenque experience. The rooms are spectacular and comfortable with good beds and great, big bathrooms.
The food was very good. We ate all meals there for two days.
By far this is the best place to stay in the area and it is not expensive by American and European standards.

Luxury in the jungle

Beautiful hotel with large spacious rooms. Location is out of town, on the way to the ruins. Not much nearby, but taxis are cheap and quick. The pool was a refreshing and welcome addition to our time in Palenque

Luxury in the Jungle

We have lived in 5 countries and traveled extensively. This is one of our favorite hotels ever! The hotel is the owner's passion and we could sense this from the moment we arrived. The staff and food was superb! We loved our jungle adventures but there was nothing better than returning to Hotel Quinta Cha Nab Bal every night.

Close to Palenque Ruins without the tour groups

This is a great small hotel, only 8 rooms, beautifully decorated. Raphael does a great job of bringing traditional Mayan elements into a modern hotel. The staff was great. The hidden gem of the hotel is the food, especially the modern renditions of traditional Mayan dishes.

Beautiful Hotel and Genial Host

The Hotel Quinta Chabnabnal is beautifully furnished with authentic Mayan designs, crafted by local artisans. The staff is attentive to your every wish, and ready to answer any question. The rooms are large and comfortable. The restaurant has an excellent selection of local and international cuisine, including vegetarian dishes. The owner is an epigrapher and gives great information about the area and life in Palenque. There could not be a nicer place to stay!

Hotel Quinta Chanabnal near Palenque in Mexico

This is a lovely and luxurious small hotel only a few minutes down the road from the world-famous Mayan ruins at Palenque. It's a creation of the owner's love and devotion to bringing back to life an actual experience of living in a part of a Mayan city. The owner explains that most of Mayan life was lived outdoors, not in the relatively dark interiors of the buildings left atop the pyramids, but guests get to stay in spacious, well-equipped rooms, enjoying bug-free nights while still appreciating the howler monkeys nearby. The Aztec soup served in the open dining room was worth the trip, and we enjoyed strolling on the grounds & admiring flocks of white egrets settling around a large pond and the pools above.

Boutique Hotel Quinta Chanabnal

The hotel was very nice and luxurious with seemingly authentic decor (I say that because I'm not an expert). I enjoyed staying there and enjoyed all the amenities it offers.

The only problem I had was that I forgot to close the bathroom windows before leaving for dinner. When I returned, my bathroom was filled with bugs of different shapes and sizes.

Overpriced for it´s location

Good location, friendly staff, but overpriced food for it´s location.There is 10% service charge on top of all prices,which is not mentioned anywhere until you pay at the end of your stay.Too far from Palenque centre.I would not stay there again.

A wonderful experience

This small boutique hotel is an absolute gem! Entering via the long pathway from the main street, we were met by tranquility and serenity by a young man who quite simply helped us get our suitcases to the room while informing us of the basic layout of the hotel.

The room was perfectly laid out and decorated in a colonial, yet modern style. We had a small terrace with rattan furniture and colorful pillows. Entering the room, with its two queen beds in Mayan/South East Asian colors, we were impressed once again by the jungle quietness aside from the birds and insects chirping outside the open wooden blinds (with mosquito netting). The room had two lazily rotation ceiling fans, and an air conditioner that was necessary to cool down the room before night time in the 39C heat outside in the late afternoon. It was not necessary during the cool night, though!

The large bathroom had a good sized shower, all made in marble and wood. Utilitarian, but charmingly decorated, with all necessary amenities.

The view out the back windows was of the jungle, and our only complaint was the bird that for some reason kept chirping throughout the second night right outside. Not an unpleasant sound at all, but we had hoped it would eventually go to sleep.

Real Gem in the Jungle

This is a nontraditional hotel--only 7 rooms spread over several buildings, no front desk, etc. However, it was charming and beautiful--almost like staying in a private, luxurious estate. Hotel is a bit outside of Palenque town and on road to ruins. We got around by using taxis and \"collectivos\" which run up and down the main road from ruins to town and pass by hotel entrance. We ate breakfasts and dinners in hotel and these were great (owner is Italian and pastas were especially good). Pool area is lovely as are the rooms and furnishings. Highly recommend.

Hotel met een ‘jungle gevoel’ waar helaas de ziel uit is. Achterstallig onderhoud van het terrein en standaard ontbijt is erg karig. Koffie of thee, toast en jam. Voor iets extra’s moet je bijbetalen. Het hotel is beduidend duurder als de overige hotels in de omgeving maar de meerprijs niet waard. Prijs/kwaliteit is niet in verhouding.

Das Hotel wurde von uns in 2/2020 als erstklassig eingestuft, deshalb haben wir es in 2/2024 wieder gebucht. Leider dreht sich die Welt weiter. Der ital./dt. Hotelbesitzer wurde in 7/2022 von seiner Frau ermordet, seitdem ist das Hotel in Fremdverwaltung und es geht stetig bergab. Der Service läßt zu wünschen übrig. Die Speisekarte (mit stattlichen Preisen) verspricht leckeres, aber der Koch scheint gekündigt zu haben. Alles, was kaputt geht, wird, wenn es denn überhaupt als defekt wahrgenommen wird, nur schlampig und billig ersetzt. Das Hotel ist architektonisch eine Augenweide, die Gartenanlage mit Pool und Teich sind schon toll, aber: viel zu teuer für das, was mittlerweile geboten wird. Viele Sterne im Hotelgewerbe bedeuten top Ausstattung, top Zustand, top Service. Hier: Fehlanzeige ! Mehr als 170 € (mit Frühstück) sollten Sie nicht zahlen (verhandeln notwendig !!!), ansonsten suchen sie sich etwas anderes in Palenque.
