Casitas at Rancho Kuxtal

Mucha paz si amas la naturaleza y la tranquilidad es el lugar perfecto para ti.

Clean, compact casita, hot water, good coffee, super friendly owner, option to ride horses

Realize it’s in a rural spot outside of town with no nearby options so plan ahead for food and drinks

Rancho Kuxtal feels like discovering an idyllic secret. It's so small and tucked away off the tourist route in Yucatan. Kasie and Victor are such welcoming hosts and we felt totally at ease. There are masses of animals - domesticated, wild and somewhere in between. Cats, kittens, dogs, puppies, ducks, iguana, birds and of course the horses. They're all so loved and well cared for. The horses are calm, well trained and well kept. We did an hour long trail, very well suited to my friend who is a complete beginner. Victor and Miguel made her feel so confident she trotted in the corral at the end. Also because Yucatan is so flat, it's easy riding in the heat. The photographs of the accommodation don't do it justice; the ranch is rustic but the cabins are surprisingly luxe. The ranch is easy to get to from Tulum or Cancun; buses go frequently to Tizimin and from there it's a short taxi (about $100 pesos). There's not much accessible from the ranch unless you have a car or are happy to take taxis everywhere. But that's also what's great about it - it's a quiet retreat. Couldn't recommend more.

Execelente atención y buen trato muy amables

un lugar muy bonito y la casa hermosa, la atención excelente, excelente opción si buscan tranquilidad.

Excellent breakfast in the room. Perfectly equipped kitchen.

This was a great place to stay, and I highly recommend it. It was so neat to be on a working ranch with lots of farm animals and horses and to stay in a beautiful and well supplied casita. We also took the horseback riding tour. The horses were well kept and great to ride. After getting used to the horses in a corral, we walked down a small road/trail in the back and came back to the corral for more riding. It was 2 hrs in total. Very nice experience.

Location.. peace and quiet… the animals and the breakfast! I would return in a minute!

Signage at the gates would be helpful. A towel peg or two would be helpful.
