The story
This is a reimagining of a Mayan royal residence, right down to the ceremonial pyramid. The rainforest opens to a lagoon with waterfalls and a pool. Head down here around sunset and you will be greeted by hundreds of white egrets flocking to the trees and settling in on the branches like living fairy lights. Keep on the lookout for turtles, iguanas, and crocodiles too.
Quinta Chanabnal blends Mayan designs and modern comforts into a delightful oasis of serenity.
This is by far the best base from which to explore the Mayan wonders of Palenque.
