Ein schönes und liebevoll seit 2024 eröffnetes kleines Resort abseits der Touristen. Sehr ruhig mit netten sauberen Zimmern und einer Gemeinschafts-Küche mit Aufenthaltsraum. Das Frühstück ist sehr lecker und wird individuell auf den Geschmack der Gäste zubereitet Der Eigentümer ist dabei, es ständig zu verschönern und zu erweitern. Demnächst soll die Cenote fertig werden.

We are overlanders travelling with a camper. We were the first camper to arrive at XBalche, which was not officially open yet. The British owner, Benjamin is very helpful and kind. We had all the comfort we needed. We enjoyed the surroundings and the great pool. Highly recommended!

A unique and new facility, with an impressive pool. we stayed with our RV. The shed area is very comfortable with the very large lounge with fans and eight slidable doors to create plenty of ventilation! many areas to relax and unwind. We were very impressed by all the assistance given to us by the staff there going out of their way to assist us with finding local shops and things that we needed. Highly recommended.

The only downside to this marvelous place is that we could only stay one night. Benjamin is an amazing host, and his place is as close to paradise as it gets. The rooms were beautifully designed and we're very clean. The breakfast was beautiful, with vegetarian and options, fresh seasonal fruit and delicious coffee. The location is amazing for exploring the nearby sights, while still being tucked away to feel secluded and at peace in nature. I would rate 10 stars if I could! Truly a gem of a place, highly recommended!
