Valladolid Hotels - Reviews and Rates

Last night ended up drinking beer in what I can only describe as a car garage. Was the only female and Jody was the only male under 45. He was also the only male who didn´t have what appearsto be a pregnant stomach (must be the tacos). We attracted the attention of a toothless midget mexican who was convinced Jody was Prince Harry. Other than th...

Had bit of a sleep in today before heading to the bus station for the move to the colonial town of Valladolild. The bus ride only took about 2 hours.

Today was the first time I realized how good the GPS could be on my phone. On the bus ride I picked a hotel from the guide book, found the reference on the map and plugged the coordinates in...

The trip from Cancun to Valladolid was good. The bus network is really well organised, on time, etc ... It makes it really easy to travel. What a change for me after 5 years of Irish transport! 2nd class buses (Oriente) are really comfy and have air co.

When we arrived in Valladolid the pavements were all destroyed in order to change som...

Close to here you can see one of the worlds modern seven wonders, the Chichen Itza. Pricy but nice. An important Maya centre. No story about this place yet.

There's not loads to do here, but cycling out to the nearby cenotes (underground, fresh-water caves) was very rewarding and refreshi...

After seeing the ruins at Chichén Itzá, we decided to spend the night in Yucatán's 'second city' of Valladolid as it's, well, the logical place to spend the night if you're heading east after going to Chichén Itzá. That's a formidable reputation to live up to, but Valladolid does so with aplomb. It's a wholly pleasant, friendly, and generally at...

Omdat op Isla niet zoveel was te beleven en we beide te verbrand waren om nog langer op een eiland met alleen maar strand rond te hangen zijn we er een dag eerder weg gegaan dan gepland. Onze volgende stop was het plaatsje Valladolid waarvan we naar de cenotes en chichen itza zouden gaan. Na aankost in het hotel zijn we gelijk naar de cenotes ge...

Out towards the centre of the Yucatan Peninsula there are two Mayan ruins, Ek Balam and Chichen Itza, so we headed to Valladolid a town which is conveniently located near both. Arriving in this picturesque place we easily found a cheap hotel for the night (180 Pesos) and found a collectivo out to Ek Balam. We enjoyed wandering around the ruins a...
