Lodge guests enjoy full privileges at the neighboring sister hotel, Hacienda Uxmal, its two pools, outdoor grill. Tickets to Uxmal's Light and Sound Show, staged nightly at the park, are available at the front desk at either hotel.
The Lodge is just 30 meters from the entrance to Uxmal and archaeologists have unearthed several important finds in the gardens including the only example of a Mayan residential zone bordering a ceremonial center fount to date in the Yucatan.
From the balcony of the first villas, the view of the Pyramid of the Magician is spectacular and a constant reminder of the glory of Uxmal.
The site was declared a United Nations Heritage Site in 1997 and is the kingpin of the large concentration of Mayan archaeological sites in the world. Tours can be arranged from the hotel to the nearby sites along the Puuc Route, 19th century haciendas, colonial towns and cities, Mayan villages, nature reserves and caves.
Jeeps are even available for a safari along a forest trail to the Mayan village of San Simón (nine miles away), Oxkintok archaeological zone and the recently discovered Mayan site of Xkipche. The Lodge at Uxmal is the perfect base for exploring the real Yucatan.
