Client comments and reviews

Hacienda Chichen was a delight - perfect location, beautiful surroundings, excellent food and spacious, comfortable rooms. - GD (November 2018)

The Hacienda Chichen was great and so close to the ruins so I could see why you chose that. The gardens and the rooms were lovely. - SW (October 2012)

We really enjoyed staying here right by the ruins and wished we could have had two nights instead of just one. It was relaxing and very 'Last Frontiers' in character and atmosphere we thought! - CH (December 2010)

Hacienda Chichen was wonderful and we could easily have spent more time. It was lovely to stay so close to the ruins. - MW (November 2009)

Some of the staff continually stressed that service was not included. - JW (February 2007)
