Xbalamque Hotel Boutique

Xbalamque Hotel Boutique is a budget downtown hotel at Avenida Yaxchilan No. 31, SM 22, Mza. 18, in Centro, Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico. Avenida Yaxchilan is one of the busiest streets in the downtown area, known for its restaurants, bars and evening nightlife, so guests are in the middle of the local social scene rather than the resort strip. The ADO bus terminal and Parque de las Palapas are within a short walk or taxi ride, and Cancun International Airport is roughly 20 to 25 minutes by road. Local buses connect Centro with the Hotel Zone beaches, which are reached in about 15 to 25 minutes depending on traffic. The hotel is a small boutique-style property, with a more intimate scale than the large chains nearby and a simple design. Rooms are offered as Standard Rooms and Double Rooms with air conditioning and wifi. On-site facilities include a pool and a restaurant, which give guests somewhere to relax after a day of sightseeing. Many cheaper local restaurants, taquerias and bars lie within walking distance, so meals out are easy and inexpensive. Service is informal and personal, with a front desk that can help with taxis, bus connections and day trips to Isla Mujeres, Chichen Itza and Tulum. Listed nightly rates run from roughly MXN 612 to 1,225 (approximately USD 35 to 70), among the lower prices for a hotel with a pool in downtown Cancun. The trade-off is the lack of a beach and the noise from nearby bars and traffic, so light sleepers should request a quieter room or bring earplugs. Guided reviews rate the property slightly below the larger downtown chains, so visitors should expect a basic but practical stay.
