The greatest city of the Itza Maya is a place of wonder and magic and at Mayaland, you’ll feel its heartbeat. Mayaland was the first hotel build at Chichen Itza in 1923, and with its superb location amidst the temples, the first within an ancient site in the world. In its way, it’s as much a landmark as the pyramids that tower above it. Mayaland is a creation of Old Yucatan, built and operated by its original owners and their descendents in a style reminiscent of the hacienda nobility of a century ago. Its air of genteel hospitality and old-fashioned charm is a legacy enhanced by the addition of every amenity. The grounds are alive with birdsong and butterflies, and all the exotic fruits and flowers of tropical Yucatan. Over 100 acres of gardens surround the main house and its outlying Mayan bungalows. The Mayaland Hotel is an experience in itself; one that will enrich your stay at Chichen Itza. Clustered around secluded swimming pools and built in traditional Mayan style with wood, stone, native marble and thatch, the bungalows were created for guests wishing to commune with nature and with the culture that 1,000 years before rose to greatness here. The hotel has its own entrance to the archaeological site and we have included the Light and Sound Show at the Ruins in the program.
