Editorial Review

You've made your way by rental car or wobbly bus to see Quintana Roo's less touristy glories and are vastly rewarded with a clean cheapie of 32 rooms arranged on three levels around a guitar-body pool. Guests are backpackers and ruin-seekers, smart and adventurous. While we can't lure that cute bookworm away from their dogeared guidebook to join in the merriment with all the cheap beer in the world, the food is why we return. Some of Yucatan's best treats are home-made here and mnake the experience 400 times better. Don't miss anything with pibil as a suffix and make room for sour-orange poc chuc. Just watch your black relleno intake before the ride to Chichen Itza, Montezuma is eyeing you.
