“Worth the extra miles”

We went to Coba to avoid the tourists and it was fantastic. The hotel is out of the way, approximately 30 minutes from Tulum. It was very comfortable and relaxing. The food was excellent and the staff was charming. They speak very little english, however with a spanish english dictionary ($6 borders) you'll be fine. If you are looking for nightlife this is probably not for you. If you are looking for seclusion and romance it is perfect!

“Villas Arqueologicas Coba”

Great hotel and extremely convenient for looking at the Coba ruins. I had an issue with my A/C unit and they moved me to a new room with no questions. The lake right outside the hotel has crocodiles (!) and we were lucky enough to spot two of them in the morning. We got to the hotel in the afternoon and went to some of local Cenote's and then went to the ruins first thing in the morning - that is the best time to do it! The hotel was very nice; the food was great and the staff was superb!

“bon hotel pour sejour d'une nuit seulement”

Hotel identique à celui de chichen itza, hormis pour la nourriture du restaurant qui est de moins bonne qualité.

“Nice accomodations at Coba”

Very nice hotel. Clean, modern, well maintained. Rooms were spotless. Air conditioned. No TV. Service was good. English is a bit limited so ability to speak basic Spanish always helpful. Beautiful interior courtyard and pool area. Food in the hotel was pretty good, menu perhaps unimaginative. (The dining place next door was packed) Good value for the price paid, however. The only real downside- no wireless or internet access anywhere in hotel. Hotel is about a 5-10 minute walk from the entrance to the ruins. By the way, at the ruins, it is definitely worth it to rent a bike for 30 pesos. The ruins are very spread out.

“Visiting Coba? Stay Here”

Walk to the ruins and watch out for the crocodiles in the lake beside the hotel. The local restaurants feed them the left over chicken, so they show up regularly. The rooms are small, the beds are a bit hard but the building is incredible with an open court and garden in the middle and a great natural-looking pool in the midst of flowers and palms. The hotel restaurant is good but f you're visiting the cheaper local ones just up the street, hit them at noon or before sundown as they close as the sunlight disappears.

“Nice oasis in Coba”

The hotel was eerily quiet with few guests. The only television set was a big screen TV in the lounge that not work (and it was Super Bowl Sunday), the only computer available to access the internet was not working, the pool table pockets were full of holes that we discovered upon hearing the loud plop, bounce & clatter of rolling balls. Swimming pool was nice, surrounded by palm trees and lovely plants in an open courtyard. Rooms were great, service was excellent but the bar was devoid of rum, tequila, gin, wine or vermouth. Location was nice, right on the beautiful lake, private and quiet. Walking distance to everywhere, including the ruins of Coba. I would definitely stay there again, if it is still open. One had the impression that receivership was imminent and I hope I'm wrong.

“Will pass on this hotel next time.”

We have often stayed here on our way back to Cancun and have always enjoyed the tranquility of the hotel and surrounding area, especially after the last tour bus has left the parking lot of the ruins nearby. The hotel was under ClubMed management for some time and was maintained very well. Sadly, since it has been under new management (Villas Archeologicas) it has fallen into disrepair with painted stucco pealing from the walls, the yellow walls in the interior courtyards need a new coat of paint. Bathroom soaps and shower gels are of an inferior quality and they also had no WIFI. We shall pass on this place next time in favour of someplace in Tulum.

“Staying in coba”

Kind of rustic overall but great location and tasty food. Staff could be friendlier but is maybe shy! Crododiles just in front of the hotel.... Great for the adventure.

“C'est le stricte minimum, mais il y a pire.”

Les chambres sont petites et inconfortables : lit plutôt dur et pas d'eau chaude, mais juste tiède. Restaurant juste correct (petit déjeuner et repas). Le site annonce WiFi gratuit, effectivement c'est gratuit : IL N'Y A PAS LE WIFI dans cet hôtel. La situation de l'hôtel est proche du site, mais la voiture est nécessaire, sinon compter une demi heure de marche. L'hôtel est en bordure d'un lac : attention, Crocodiles dans le lac, des panneaux le signalent.

“Perfect Location”

Not fancy but adequate, but quiet, excellent food and a wonderful oasis in a vew poor but interesting area - the only real option. A perfect location to get up early and beat the heat and the crowds (such as they are) at COBA. We bicycled nearly alone through the mininally excavated ruins on the Maya roads and climbed the largest temple alone. In the hot afternoon we took a dip in the pool and relaxed. The staff spoke less english than in the coastal areas.
