The Lodge at Uxmal is a step beyond
the Mayaland concept of upscale
accommodations in a traditional
setting. The Lodge offers total
immersion in the Yucatan-Maya experience:
an enclave of untamed nature in
the shadow of ancient Uxmal, thatch-roofed
villas that seem an extension of
the landscape and archaeologists
excavating on the grounds. The Lodge
brings you the land and its people:
Yucatan yesterday and today. It's
is the perfect base for exploring
the real Yucatan. |
Rooms
|
Opened in 1997, its 40 rooms and
suites are distributed among five
two-story villas built with materials
native to the region--most especially
the handsome hardwoods for which
this part of the world is known.
The rooms are individual masterpieces
whose appointments are handpicked
from the work of local artisans.
The generous use of rich, aged mahogany
is enhanced by the addition of ethnic
ceramics, textiles and artwork.
Doors are intricately carved with
Mayan motifs; stained glass windows
set the rooms aglow with understated
colors. All accommodations have
air conditioning, ceiling fans,
mini-bars and satellite color TV;
suites include private Jacuzzis
and king size beds. |

The villas look out over a central
courtyard flanked by patches of
emerald lawn, acacia and wild tamarind
trees. The pool is rimmed with sun
beds and the adjacent palapa, a
spacious open-air restaurant built
in the architectural style of tropical
Yucatan. Exploration of the grounds
can be done on foot. Lodge
guests enjoy full privileges at
our neighboring sister hotel, Hacienda
Uxmal, with its two pools, outdoor
grill, tennis and volleyball courts.
Tickets to Uxmal's Light and Sound
Show, staged nightly at the park,
are available at the front desk
at either hotel. The Lodge is just
30 meters from the entrance to Uxmal
and archaeologists have unearthed
several important finds in the gardens
including the only example of a
Mayan residential zone bordering
a ceremonial center found to date
in the Yucatan.
From the balcony of the first villa,
the view of the Pyramid of the Magician
is spectacular and a constant reminder
of the glory of Uxmal. The site
was declared a United Nations Heritage
Site in 1997 and is the kingpin
of the largest concentration of
Mayan archaeological sites in the
world. Tours can be arranged from
the hotel to nearby sites along
the Puuc Route, 19th-century haciendas,
colonial towns and cities, Mayan
villages, nature reserves and caves.
Jeeps are available for a safari
along a forest trail to the Mayan
Village of San Simon, nine miles
away from Uxmal. The Oxkintok archaeological
zone and the recently discovered
Mayan site of Xkipche are a half
an hour drive from Uxmal.

Restaurants & Bars
|
|
Dining at The Lodge is a unique
experience. The restaurant's a la
carte menu includes Mexican classics,
international standbys and a selection
of regional cooking --a cuisine
so different from "traditional"
Mexican fare it might be from another
country. Yucatecan cooks are adept
at blending herbs and spices into
a range of sauces and sassy marinades.
Regular menu changes keep things
interesting. Breakfast is a buffet
of infinite variety and the hotel
bar stocks an endless list of the
nation's finest tequilas. Ethnic
dance troupes perform during the
season and guitar trios play the
music of Yucatan's most beloved
composers. |
