Margarita was really helpful, her attitude was positive, and the place was very cozy. In all the place, called Panchan, Margarita's and Ed's seemed to be the most peaceful and clean. The decoration of the rooms is solved with local furniture, including a simple and nice ethnic clothing.

Also showed up at the cabanas without making a reservation and had no problem getting a room for three nights. El panchan is brilliant, really lively, loads of people to meet. The room itself was good enough, good shower pressure which was a highlight. Margarita is a wonderful hostess and we had a couple of great conversations with her. She... More

We showed up at the cabanas without making a reservation, and, as it was super hot, ended up renting a room with air-conditioning. The room was quite decent and clean - no complaints there. You can store your luggage for a day (till 6PM) - the location is right outside the entrance to the park. As for the owner, she... More

Friendly owner, beautiful setting, spacious room. Convenient for visiting ruins. El panchan can be a bit loud at night but room was set far enough back that there was only the distant thump of the bass.

We were so lucky to arrive in time to acquire a room since there is no way to reach by phone or internet, just show up. Clean, comfy beds, a/c, 24 hr hot water, quiet jungle setting to hear the night noises. Margarita is a wonderful hostess and so proud of her location and service, the prices are very reasonable....

To book at Margarita & Ed we put message here: http://margaritanded.blogspot.com/2010/06/margarita-and-ed-hostel-prices.html, and after several attempts managed to get through by phone and reconfirmed our two-night stay. We booked room for two with the air conditioning. The room was decent. If you are planning to stay here it is better to take some insect repellent spray as tiny insects and mosquitoes... More

Stayed here in January 2013. Right before the entrance of Palenque archaeological site, turn left and enter into a hippie site with cabanas, restaurants and 60's cafés. Don't stop at the first desk (terrible old cabanas!!), go on with your car following the signs "Margarita & Ed's cabanas". Margarita is an old lady with a rough behaviour, but she is... More

We stayed here in march 2011. You get a real jungle feeling, especially at night when the howler monkeys start to well .... It did sound like a Jaguar, so lots of laughs the other day. Marguerita was really friendly, the cabana was clean, and free water. There is a restaurant closeby, I guess to same " family", the food... More

We showed up after a long day of touring without reservations and had no problem with getting a room. We were a bit leary given we had just walked down a dirt road into the jungle and even more so when they asked us to follow them to the room which was more walking through the jungle. As the price...
