This is a cute place. The cenote is very nice and they have a platform to jump into the water from a pretty decent height. There's a pool, a bar, a restaurant and trampolines. I only gave it 4 stars as the entrance fee is a bit high compared to others.
2nd time around to this wonderful Hacienda one of the least expensive and really nice not busy but relaxing. Pool is a good size cenote is really nice, traditional food is excellent. Just the overall surroundings #peaceful atmosphere. Make your reservation
Very beautiful hacienda, super cheap for what offered the place. You have 2 beautiful pool, an amazing cenote, big gardens with animals. The rooms are clean and big. The staff is friendly. It can be very noisy if the place if full, but so charming when it's not. With some minors improvements (a menu for the restaurant, more cocktails, new chairs and tables), This place could easily be one of the must do in the area.
A wonderful respite for long car journeys and tours of different ruins and towns. Perfectly manicured hacienda with its own cave cenote and friendly staff. Food is typical yucateco, very good!
An hacienda built in 1700s with pools to relax and a cenote. There are rooms to stay and relax and disconnect.
I almost don’t want to write this review, but it wouldn’t be fair to gatekeep this hidden gem. It may be slightly off the beaten path and yet the roads leading to the hacienda are perfectly normal and easy to drive. The staff are absolutely wonderful and speak good English. Once the daily visitors left we practically had the place to ourselves. The owner even opened the Cenote just for us the following morning and it was a magical experience! This was truly the best place we stayed at during our trip to Mexico. If you’re looking for a relaxing place to stay for a few days, don’t hesitate to book this place!
We thoroughly enjoyed our day at Hacienda Yunku. It was lovely and quiet. Carlos who overseas the property was delightful and very informative with regard to the history of the hacienda from back in day when sisal was king. We had a nice lunch and thoroughly our time in the cenote- especially as we were the only ones there that afternoon. We like that it was off the beaten path, rather than full of tourists. We looked at the rooms and they are nicely appointed, and it would be nice to have a quick weekend getaway there. We liked that it was more off the beaten path
This is one of the highlights of the bike tour I have done in Mexico. I've stayed here three times and love the grounds and the rooms. The service is lovely. There's a cute outdoor bar by the pool and one of the coolest cenotes I've encountered under the pool!
