The Sacbe bungalows are in a beautiful garden setting. Rooms are simple but very clean and have everything you need. Breakfast is nice outside on the patio. The owners are very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Kids enjoyed the pool because it was very hot in April. More

My son John and I stayed here in May 2011, while we birded and studied orioles and other birds in the nearby Mayan ruins. As other have noted, the bungalows are situated in a garden-like area; perhaps a transition from open forest to gardens. While we were there, it was the "low season", so we were the only guests most... More

We booked this as a walk in because other first choice hotels in the area were full. The accommodation consists of stand-alone bungalows dotted around a large and well kept garden. Many plants individually labelled reflecting the owner’s love of gardens. The buildings are of concrete block construction and are several years old but most of the accommodation appears to... More

Set in a wonderful garden full of native plants (all labelled in about five languages), the Sacbe Bungalows are a peaceful and relaxing setting in which to unwind after visiting the various ruins and other sites on the Ruta Puuc. The rooms are simple, but clean and welcoming. And sleeping with the windows open was amazing (there are screens): the... More

We found Sacbe Bungalows to be a pleasant, quiet place with very nice owners, a European couple (French?) who have been here many years. The rooms, mostly in separate bungalows, are basic but have good private baths and showers, and there is a swimming pool. Also, Sacbe Bungalows are a bargain, especially compared to some of the other places in... More

Sacbe Bungalows are ideally located for visiting many Mayan sites. You will have clean simple accommodations and a healthy breakfast in what feels like a botanical garden. The swimming pool is a great treat after a hot day climbing Mayan ruins. Edgar and Annette have spent 20 years here. After a couple days they will feel like old friends. More

We had rented a car for our honeymoon in the Yucatan (basically roadtripping it around) and we'd booked this place online. Santa Elena is a SMALL town. The Sacbe Bungalows were easy to find, and very very clean, though very very sparse. There was a bed, a bathroom, and walls, a fan, that's basically it. They are also extremely affordable,... More

Very nice bungalows near de site of Uxmal (15 minutes by car) and on the Ruta Puuc. Perfect place for discovering the region and the nearby sites Kabaah, Labnah and Sayil. The bungalows are cheap, clean and very cosy. Not a lot of luxury, but a nice bungalow with private shower, toilet and all the other basic facilities. The surrounding... More
