A true highlight of our trip! We feel very lucky that we got to experience Winíka! Helena and Abel are wonderful hosts. They were always available to answer our questions and provide assistance. The food was very good and made fresh using ingredients from their property. Our cabin was lovely and very comfortable. The pool was exceptional. It’s peaceful and quiet with just the sound of birds and occasional howler monkeys. We did not have a car but transport was always available. They provide tours. We spent a day seeing the ruins of Yaxchilan and Bonampak. Our guide, Sebastian, was extremely knowledgeable, spoke good English and had a great sense of humor. A long day but very worth it! We highly recommended Winíka!

Pool was excellent. Nice size and appreciated the natural filtration system they created to keep the water clean. We stayed for 3 nights and they offered different breakfast options each day. Very tasty food. They also grow some of their own food (eggs, ducks), or alternatively get their supplies from the local community. Excellent family run eco-lodge in a wonderful location close to attractions and in a natural, quiet setting. It was perfect for us.

No significant issues with our stay.

The accommodation and the family who look after it are a golden find. The houses are in the middle of the jungle, you are immersed in nature and everything in the hotel is designed to be in harmony with the environment - even the food is home-grown and was some of the best we had on our trip. The warmth of the staff also deserves special recognition. We had a few transportation problems and they helped us immediately and with all available resources. The houses are superbly equipped, very, very clean and even with several guests it feels as if you are on your own. You can easily get to the Palenque ruins with the hotel's own transport at any time and be picked up again, it takes about 15 minutes. We had no car during our stay, so you can access the hotel also via Taxi. All in all, a really great stay (10/10) that we would definitely recommend to anyone.

Beautiful hotel in stunning location in the middle of nature. Nice, modern cabins with private balcony, A/C, and comfortable beds and pillows. Great to go to sleep and wake up with the sounds of nature. We saw an array of birds, big iguanas and heard the howler monkeys. We were lucky to be the only guests there. The staff are amazing, very helpful and kind. Breakfast from the restaurant is very good, we also had lunch there one day which was great.

We wished we stayed longer!

We had a wonderful stay during our travels in Mexico. The perfect location when planning to visit Palenque right in the middle of the jungle. You can hear the monkeys and the staff is extremely friendly. Peaceful and relaxing with the natural pool. The food was extraordinary, we loved the breakfast lunch dinner and desserts. The road to the hotel is a dirt road, we came by taxi which was perfect. Would not recommend waking with luggage.. they have a taxi to the Palenque sight, laundry service which was excellent and can even organize a private driver to San Cristobal de las Casas. Thanks!!

First of all: Palenque did not turn out to be the Pueblo Magico imagined, so we were very glad not to stay in the city. Easy to get to the archeological site without getting into the city. Super friendly reception. The cabin had the AC on, so it was nice and cool inside. Everything was super clean, even the shower head looked like new. The bed was firm and super nice for sleeping. Great attention to detail. The pool was amazing and it was cleaned every day. Having a restaurant on site was also a big plus. While expensive for Mexican prices, the food was good but the servings are small. Breakfast was also good but the servings are small. We like a big breakfast so that we can have a late lunch. Parking on the property, absolutely secure. Overall a great experience and we would come back in a heartbeat.

Wi-Fi is not stable or fast enough. They should look into getting a Starlink. The road is a bit of a challenge but doable. Just take it easy ;) I would recommend cleaning some of the trash on the road. I would have loved to have a small desk in the room.

Very welcoming, cheerful, and helpful hosts. They served us breakfast earlier so we could arrive at the opening of the archaeological site. The father showed us the moon through his telescope: beautiful! The bungalows are basic, with comfortable bed, recommended for those who want to experience something different in nature!

The road to get there is rough in its latest part.

The hotel is a family-run place with a beautiful setting in the countryside outside town. The owners are very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We visited the Mayan ruins, Aluxes park (which has many types of local animals) and the forest. When we let them know we are vegetarian, they went to the market and bought different vegetables we had never tried before to cook something special for dinner. Gabriel, who works in the restaurant, is also very kind. The breakfast was very good. In general, it is great to see a small family-run place that focuses on sustainability and local culture.

The owners were very friendly and happy to help in any way they could. Taking us to Palenque was no problem and also making us a late dinner.

There doesn't seem to be any flexibility on having an early breakfast. The restaurant closes at 4pm, although as I said above, they were happy to make us dinner.

What a beautiful place! Food is amazing although a little expensive. Chilaquiles Verde was the best we had the whole of Mexico and make sure you get a tascalatte! Staff did everything they could to help us and made us feel really welcome. Bed was super comfy and room really clean. Highly recommended!!! We were so sad to leave. Also, the bird life here was incredible- we saw trogons, a squirrel cuckoo, aracari, hummingbirds and toucans to name a few while sitting in the restaurant. Twitchers this is the place for you!
