From the balcony of the first villa, the view of the Pyramid of the Magician is spectacular and a constant reminder of the glory of Uxmal. The site was declared a United Nations Heritage Site in 1997 and is the kingpin of the largest concentration of Mayan archaeological sites in the world. Tours can be arranged from the hotel to nearby sites along the Puuc Route, 19th-century haciendas, colonial towns and cities, Mayan villages, nature reserves and caves. Jeeps are available for a safari along a forest trail to the Mayan Village of San Simon, nine miles away from Uxmal. The Oxkintok archaeological zone and the recently discovered Mayan site of Xkipche are a half an hour drive from Uxmal.
Yucatecan cooks are adept at blending herbs and spices into a range of sauces and sassy marinades.
Regular menu changes keep things interesting. Ethnic dance troupes perform during the season, and guitar trios play the music of Yucatan's most beloved composers. All are master bedrooms. Site design and maintenance by NewOrleans.
