We stayed here for two nights in February 09 and didn't particularly enjoy our stay in the hotel itself. However, Valladolid is an excellent base to visit Chichen Itza and the surrounding area. It meant we were able to get to places early before the crowds of tour groups descended. The hotel itself was adequate and cheap but the room... more

Maria de la Luz Hotel is a decent place to stay while in Valladolid. It has a central location, a pool, a buffet breakfast (for extra). They said there was parking but the parking lot was full by the time we arrived. The staff were friendly enough but didn't necessarily seem like they wanted to go out of their way... more

Similar to the reviewer on Jan 13, 2009, my stay at Maria de la Luz didn't exactly make my trip better. I had just stayed in Merida for nearly half the price and the room was clean with sparkling white sheets, so imagine my shock when I get to Valladolid and the hotel was nearly twice the cost and dingy.... more

We got into Valladolid at high noon. It was dusty, hot, and intense. Maria de la Luz is right in the center of things with a busy restaurant and front desk. We were quoted a higher rate than we had reserved, but the new rate included breakfast which was worth it if you wanted a big breakfast. I asked how... more

We stayed at this place for 2 days, I really enjoyed the food at the restaurant and love the garden~ more

This was a clean, comfortable hotel at a moderate price. We stayed for 2 nights in early December and used Valladolid as a base to see Mayan ruins and cenotes. We booked by email through the hotel's website. We had to cancel our first night due to a flight delay, and had no problems with the reservation or charges for... more

My wife and I stayed at Maria de la Luz only for one night and we both truly liked it. The rooms are spacious, clean and have all amenities you may be looking for in a moderately priced place. Location – can’t beat it – it is right in the center. That is great, right? Well, not when there is... more

Based on my previous experiences witth family run Mexican hotels, I was very pleased with Maria de la Luz. My wife and I stayed 3 nights at this hotel in December. I contacted the hotel via email and had an immediate response. We were quoted 48USD/night to include breakfast and that was what the bill was when we arrived. The... more

The Luz was recommended to me for its proximity to bus and taxi collectivo access, and is right on the main square and tourist area. It's a very laid back spot, and some of the staff speak English well enough to get by. The room I had on the second floor, looking out onto the large pool, was fairly standard,... more
