Our group was staying in cabanas behind the swimming pool. Bathroom was clean and spacy, hot water all the time, rooms were decent, but with pretty bad lighting. Better have your mosquito-net with you, the roof and windows do not look exactly 'insectproof'. Cabana had a nice small terrace towards the swimming pool, with comfy chairs. The surroundings are very... More

Maya Bell is as close as you get to the ruins in terms of accom. It's inside the national park and about a 20-30 minute walk up the road to the main entrance. The restaurant is really good. wi-fi has its problems, not very fast and has to be restarted on a regular basis - but at least you have... More

Maya Bell is rustic place with both cabanas and camping facilities. The restaurant was good, but the staff were not very friendly. Pool looked better at night than during the day. Cabanas near the pool are extremely noisy from pool guests due to the paper thin walls. The Cabanas were rustic nice nothing fancy. Maya Bell is very close to... More

We have stayed here a few times. Always consistent, secure, and comfortable. We always stay in the cabana rooms, but the campground looks great. Pool is huge, great food, music at night, and always an interesting crowd. We ran into 4 bicyclists riding through the Yucatan, Chiapas, then to Central America. We had just come from a month trip driving... More

We arrived at Palenque when it was dark and wanted to stay in the perimeter of the ruins to enjoy the wildflife. We read some bad stuff about El Panach, and decided to stay at Hostel Elementos Naturales. Once their a memeber of the staff informed us that they were closed beacause of some problems with the electricity and that... More

A slightly rustic place with an authentic jungle feel. Good restaurant/bar as well as a nice swimming pool. The Cabanas are nice; clean although the wet mopped floor doesn't always dry properly due to the the humidity. Ask at the reception for information on tours to the waterfalls and elsewhere as well as how to get to the ruins (either... More

Mayabell is kind of a hippy hang out, which is a bit of an inconvenience if you're not into drinking and smoking and drums. I love being in the shade of the huge trees and watching the monkeys above. The rooms are small and not so cheap at about $50 usd a night. The swimming pool is large and not... More

I chose Maya Bell for 1 night based on a guide book. It was OK, but I visited another hostel and decided to check out early. The grounds are nice, but since its an RV park as well, not as much jungle as I had hoped. The pool is large but disgusting and brown water, dont get excited about it!... More

We decided to stay here over christmas after reading a good write-up in the Lonely Planet and I left regretting my decision. The staff were some of the unfriendliest I had encountered during in my entire 6 week trip to Mexico. To begin with they acted like we were inconveniencing them to stay there, even though we had made a... More
