We spent one night there when visiting Palenque, and then we spend a second one when returning from San Cristobal de las Casas. The place is incredible!! You are just in the middle of the jungle, you can breath the jungle air. The cabins are much cleaner than we would expect. There is a place to eat and have breakfast... More

Everybody has been recommending for me to stay at El Panchan at Margarita & Ed's and I followed the recommendations and was not disappointed. It is really a great place to stay! The cabins are in the middle of the jungle, so you can breath and feel the jungle. The cabins are clean (not luxury) but clean! The showers where... More

We just rolled in from a 13 hour overnight bus trip back to Mexico City from Palenque in the Chiapas but before I go take a nap I would like to comment on the absolutely WONDERFUL stay that my wife and I had a Margarita's and Ed's in El Panchan in Palenque. Margarita is a lovely lady who does all... More

We couldn't have been happier with our stay here. We had been recommended to go by fellow travelers as a very affordable ($300pesos/night) and clean spot to stay while visiting Palenque. Room was large, shower was good, and Margarita is the perfect hostess. The howler monkeys made the ambiance complete - the perfect jungle hideaway. Ate every meal just up... More

Had a gorgeous room for only 300 pesos, it was spacious, backed onto the jungle and spotlessly clean. Margarita and the staff really lovely and helpful, would highly recommend this hotel. More

Just before the Palenque archeological zone, in El Panchan (a group of budget places in the 'jungle' (not really the jungle)), Ed & Margarita's is a nice, well kept, clean hotel (cabanas or rooms) held by the friendliest people. From what I've seen, I wouldn't have wanted to stay anywhere else in El Panchan. The rooms are really clean and... More

We were very much looking forward to staying in El Panchan and at Ed and Margarita's after reading the lovely reviews, however we were a little disappointed. The lovely Margarita that everyone writes about was nowhere to be seen and instead the only contact we had was with a rather grumpy mexican young man who seemed to spend more time... More

The owner of a restaurant in Merida advised to stay in El Panchan, rather than the city when we visited Palenque as it was much safer. I can't comment on the city as we were hardly there but Margarita & Ed's place was ideal. Not only is it's location perfect for seeing the amazing Mayan Ruins and the waterfalls but... More

Nice location in two ways - the El Panchan area being just outside the park gates and Margarita & Ed's cabanas being hidden back in the bush away from the noisier areas around Don Mucho's and Mono Loco. We stayed in the new annex further back and were surprised at how new (Mar/11) and modern the rooms were. Nice, comfortable,... More
