Fodor's Expert Review Hacienda San José

Carretera Tixkobob-Tekanto, Km 30, Yucatán, 97470, Mexico

The perfect base for exploring the Aké ruins and Izamal to the east, as well as Mérida, a short drive west, this restored cattle ranch transports you back in time with its hammock-adorned sitting areas, 18-foot ceilings, exposed beams, wooden double doors, canopy beds, and tile floors. For a truly unique stay, request Room 9, which has a massive ceiba tree growing through its ceiling, or one of the Maya-style palapa villas.
