Hotel Dolores Alba | Informal Campsite

October 14th, 2023 by compasschronicle.com

After our visit to Chichen-Itza, we asked here for the night in front of the Ik Kil Cenote. We were welcomed very friendly. There are 2 pools, very clean (!) toilets and even a shower. Everything included for 150 pesos per vehicle (not person).
In addition, the location is ideal for an early morning visit to the Ik Kill Cenote, when it doesn't have that many tourists!
Yes, the street noise is audible, but decreases significantly from 10pm and who is used to Mexican volume will also be able to cope here.

After vsisting Chichen-Itza in the morning we moved here. Initially we planned to visit the cenote across the street but decided against it (too busy and commercialized) spend the afternoon in and at the hotel pool instead. Food was nothing special but o.k. - bathrooms and shower were clean. Price was 150 peso. Yes, it's right next to the street, but by now we are pretty tolerant of road noise and used to sleeping with earplugs if it gets too noisy.

Great place and helpful stuff. It’s short to everything from there: Cenote Ik Kil is vis a vis and Chizen Itza a 5min car ride. They have 2 pools if you need an refreshment. Price is $150. Road noise could definitely be a problem but didn’t bothered me much.

Still works for a quick overnight to visit chichen itza or the cenote. They have two pools to cool down in, running water and toilets.

still a good place to visit ik kil (short walk) and chichen itza. 900 pesos for a room or 150 parking.

point fort: prix , emplacement proche du cenote et de chichenitza, 2 piscine super clean, p'tit dej inclus et wifi partout d une piscine a l'autre.

point faible : la route a proximité ULTRA BRUYANTE et la douche a disposition pas top.

Nice place.
we came with our camper truck and two friends who got a place in the hotel, so didn't charge us for parking. we didn't ask for anything such electricity and others.

including:
filling up water tank, WiFi (near restaurant), electricity, baños.

Spend a pretty quiet night here. Wifi worked pretty well. Didn’t feel unsafe at all.

We spent a calm night here. Cold showers and toilets available plus there is a pool and wifi at the pool area. We paid 150 pesos in total which is not bad when comparing to other places on Yucatan peninsula. They don't sell discounted tickets to the cenote anymore unfortunately.

Loud and dangerous. The carpark as such is right next to a high speed road with no topas and no fence. The road noise is therefore rather significant. And the danger is real. We had someone around at 4am looking into the parked cars, including ours, with a torch obviously looking for something to steal. Scary, but so typical for Mexico. Happened to us before in Chapala in Dec.

Great poolside parking near road with electric, $150mx. 2 nice pools, good food at restaurant, very friendly staff. Nice bathrooms, a bit busy traffic, but I don't mind that in the day sometimes. Commercial swimming hole across the street, cenote, with popsicles. Road noise was too much for me to get a decent night's sleep.

Hotel with two pools with camper parking. Is close to Chichen Itza. Also across from a nice Cenote. Was 150 for a night and would have provided electricity if we wanted it. Lock restaurant was fine also. This is one of the few deals in QR

December 26th, 2021 by haleysvoyage.com

Still 150mx to camp for the night. Was offered an electric outlet but don't need it. Our friend traveling with us right now slept on our tent in the grass patch in front of our van. Wifi isn't great. You could maybe surf the web on it. Still one of the best camping spots for the price I've stayed at.

150 to park in the lot. We were not offered electricity and did not see any plugs. It was loud from the road noise that started up about 6 am.

March 25th, 2021 by laurakulbe93

We payed $150 for 2 of us and a dog. Nice people, showers, toilets, 2 pools, wifi and shaddy parking lots available.

Accueil très sympathique. 150$ mex pour 2 adultes et 2 enfants . Très belle piscine , accès toilette et douche . Très proche de Chichen Itza.
Nous avons passé deux nuits .
Seul inconvénient la route qui est bruyante en journée et un peu la nuit mais cela reste vraiment un endroit que nous recommandons.

December 28th, 2020 by frompeaktoshore

Great place to stay as a base for Chichen Itza. Still 150 per van with a nice pool, lounge chairs, and hammocks. The internet is okay, but like others said it only reaches the lounge area. Bathrooms are clean but the (cold) shower is decent.

Do not eat at the restaurant, though. Severely overpriced for poorly cooked food that slightly resembles the name on the menu.

All write before is ok. Good place.
...But noisy from 5 am to 10 pm by the road 30 meters from the place.

Stayed here during the equinox, when the Pyramid Inn was swamped with tour buses. I’ve stayed at both. This place has nicer bathrooms, a restaurant, hammocks, and better wifi. The Pyramid Inn has a better location (walk to the ruins or town), a bigger pool for swimming, and real Mayan ruins on site. I’ve been very happy at both!

March 12th, 2018 by WanderfulLivin.com

Place was good for what we needed it for wifi was strong as long as you were in the lobby area and everyone was very nice. Would stay here again 150mp total for us.

December 25th, 2017 by wearealivenaestrada

Love it here. 150 pesos for two people in a small motorhome with eletrecity. It’s better than the cenote across the road. They have two pools and the restaurante is great. It is pretty close to the road but for someone used to sleeping in PEMEX this place is a paradise. :)

December 8th, 2017 by juliastout2000

great place. 150 for us to pitch our tent and use of pools, wifi, toilets and cold shower.

November 28th, 2017 by juancortijo

Well guys, if you realy want a spot directly next to a a loud busy highway with all the traffic passing by with direction Chichen Itza than this is your spot! We realy dont understand why people are so positive.

Offcourse we did not stayed here and moved 1.5 km North to hotel Okaan. I just added this location to the app.

150 pesos for the night in graveled parking lot. Clean bathrooms, nice pools, cheap drinks, decent food, friendly people.
Great place to stay for an early morning visit to the ruins.

Nice place on the grass
The staff is friendly
The pool is beautiful
150 pesos only. Bathroom, restroom
It's great !

September 7th, 2017 by theslowdutchman

Nice spot! Nice staff, good pools and good wifi. Don't buy tickets for the Cenote here. Before you go check out how many busses at there are at cenote. We where in low season here and there where 13 autobusses (see pictures)! This was just crazy. But for camping and visiting the ruines this is a great place.

August 19th, 2017 by It's not a slow car, it's a fast house

$150p per night. Extension cord to baño for power. AC ran fine. Refilled water tank. Pets okay. Parked in gravel lot with tiny shade. Refreshing pools. Cheap drinks. It did the job. We biked to Chichén easily.

August 15th, 2017 by LaTortugaOverlanders.com

We love this place, 150 mx per night, with electric for 2 people and little dog! Nicest place we have stayed in Mexico so far. Two pools one with natural bottom. Friendly staff good food reasonably priced . Clean bathrooms , seats and paper!!! Whoa!! Cold water private shower also , our truck camper was no problem.Wifi near pool restaurant area, typical speed for area.

100 pesos for two person and tent. Nice pool, grassy area for tent. Tranquil place to stay the night.

December 1st, 2016 by SWELL

Great place for a more formal stay. Staff are great, price is fair, use of washroom, water, and power (you'll need a long extension cord though).
The restaurant is good and fairly priced. There are 2 pools, and is right across the road from a cenote. They were very pet friendly, provided the pets are well behaved. The other guests in the hotel loved our dog & cat.
Only downside is the traffic noise.

October 21st, 2016 by naila.verges

they let us sleep in our van for 150 pesos. we parked behind the palmeras where they park their motos to avoid being seen from the road.
nice swimming pool, one shower cold water and clean toilets. they also gave us free tickets for the pyramides night show (just 30 minuts of show, and 2 hours waiting in the line but still nice to see).

June 15th, 2016 by leoundfabi2016.de

Great value for price. 4km from chichen itza. Wifi (only at reception) we were allowed to park at the lobby, there was also electricity for our site (at one of these "Christmas palm trees"). We did not find the showers. Nice pool.

June 3rd, 2016 by highfish

Nice parking in front of the hotel with 2 pools. Got tickets for the night show (8pm) of Chichin Itza for free. So we only paied for parking 30 and could visit the ruins. But we don't know if it's the whole year like this.
We also bought tickets for the Cenote Ikil for 65pp there (5 cheaper than at the entrance).

April 21st, 2016 by reisefriedli.ch

Hotel with pool, palapas,hammocks and good wifi.you are allowed to park in the gras under the trees in the shade.ask for tickets for the light show for the pyramids, the start is at 8pm and are for free.you just need the tickets from the hotel and registrate on a website.great experience

March 30th, 2016 by Rondjewereld

If you park close to the bathrooms you can string an extention cord from there for power. 150 pesos for two people in a van. Nice garden-like grounds. You can park far enough from the road to have a quiet night. In the evening a lot of colorful blinking christmas lights on palm trees, yes in March. The ones at the shrine even with continuous christmas carols. We just flicked the switch.

January 15th, 2016 by Freedom With Bruno

150mx to camp in large parking lot of hotel. Right across the street from Cenote Ik-Kil (hotel sells discount tickets to the cenote 65mx). Clean bathrooms, restaurant onsite, 2 pools. Picnic tables and palapa at far west end of property. Electrical plug-in, wifi near reception only. Some grass area could be used for tents (we didn't ask). Can't beat this price so close to Chichen Itza.
