Have you been to Mayan ruins?

We visited the Tulum pyramids. It was a very hot, humid trip, but very well worth while. As you say, the setting is beautiful, right on the beach. Anyone visiting the ruins should do it on a tour or get an authorised guide. Doing it by yourself and trying to get the "folklore" out of a book, you miss a lot.

Hi, Rocky!

The Mexican Government is working on the resroration of many sites, including Chichen-Itza.

One that is particularly interesting is Coba.

It appears to be the largest Mayan City found, to date, and has some amazing structures... Coba is now offered as a Shore Excursion, by some lines.

We visited Uxmal, Chichen Itza, and Tuluum in 1981. Loved them so much, especially Chichen Itza. Is the Mayaland Hotel still outside Chichen Itza. With all the small huts, and the main hotel seemed very European/colonial. Our guide told us about Mesa Verde in Colorado. Silly us, we'd never heard of the cliff dwellings til then + we loved them too.

The greatest city of the Itza Maya is a place of wonder and magic and at Mayaland, you will feel its heartbeat.

Mayaland was the first hotel built at Chichen Itza (in 1923), and, with its superb location amidst the temples, the first within an ancient site in the world. In its way, it's as much a landmark as the pyramids that tower above it.

Mayaland is a creation of Old Yucatan, built and operated by its original owners and their descendants in a style reminiscent of the hacienda nobility of a century ago. Its air of genteel hospitality and old-fashioned charm is a legacy enhanced by the addition of every amenity.
