  Greetings travelers,

Hello Sandra! A thousand thanks for your blog that without a doubt, besides being inspiring, is helping me to plan better my vacations with my boyfriend, we are simple travelers, I love the culture and basically the cenotes.
We will take Valladolid as a base because reading you I fell in love with the place, I only have one question, you say that you find all kinds of accommodation, which seems perfect, but where have you stayed and what do you recommend so that you do not spend a lot in one place? clean, quiet and that can be reached by bike or walking easily at night? The reservation is the only thing I need, but I want to know your opinion, thank you!

  Hi Pam, it's good to know that I've been able to help you on your trip, I hope you enjoy it a lot.
  In Valladolid there is a hotel that almost opened when they opened, which is Casa San Roque, very central, clean and the owners of Valladolid are very fond of what they do. You also have the Hotel Zací, less personal, but it is something that is also reflected in the price. Simple, clean and with a pool, a dip does not fall badly with the Yucatan heat. Another similar is the Quinta Marciala. They are good options for clean and central, according to the budget.
  I hope you serve, anything you write me.
  A hug, good way!
